      timekeeping: Add a fast and NMI safe boot clock · 948a5312
      Joel Fernandes 提交于
      This boot clock can be used as a tracing clock and will account for
      suspend time.
      
      To keep it NMI safe since we're accessing from tracing, we're not using a
      separate timekeeper with updates to monotonic clock and boot offset
      protected with seqlocks. This has the following minor side effects:
      
      (1) Its possible that a timestamp be taken after the boot offset is updated
      but before the timekeeper is updated. If this happens, the new boot offset
      is added to the old timekeeping making the clock appear to update slightly
      earlier:
         CPU 0                                        CPU 1
         timekeeping_inject_sleeptime64()
         __timekeeping_inject_sleeptime(tk, delta);
                                                      timestamp();
         timekeeping_update(tk, TK_CLEAR_NTP...);
      
      (2) On 32-bit systems, the 64-bit boot offset (tk->offs_boot) may be
      partially updated.  Since the tk->offs_boot update is a rare event, this
      should be a rare occurrence which postprocessing should be able to handle.

      time: Introduce do_sys_settimeofday64() · 86d34732
      Baolin Wang 提交于
      The do_sys_settimeofday() function uses a timespec, which is not year
      2038 safe on 32bit systems.
      
      Thus this patch introduces do_sys_settimeofday64(), which allows us to
      transition users of do_sys_settimeofday() to using 64bit time types.

      time: Add history to cross timestamp interface supporting slower devices · 2c756feb
      Christopher S. Hall 提交于
      Another representative use case of time sync and the correlated
      clocksource (in addition to PTP noted above) is PTP synchronized
      audio.
      
      In a streaming application, as an example, samples will be sent and/or
      received by multiple devices with a presentation time that is in terms
      of the PTP master clock. Synchronizing the audio output on these
      devices requires correlating the audio clock with the PTP master
      clock. The more precise this correlation is, the better the audio
      quality (i.e. out of sync audio sounds bad).
      
      From an application standpoint, to correlate the PTP master clock with
      the audio device clock, the system clock is used as a intermediate
      timebase. The transforms such an application would perform are:
      
          System Clock <-> Audio clock
          System Clock <-> Network Device Clock [<-> PTP Master Clock]
      
      Modern Intel platforms can perform a more accurate cross timestamp in
      hardware (ART,audio device clock).  The audio driver requires
      ART->system time transforms -- the same as required for the network
      driver. These platforms offload audio processing (including
      cross-timestamps) to a DSP which to ensure uninterrupted audio
      processing, communicates and response to the host only once every
      millsecond. As a result is takes up to a millisecond for the DSP to
      receive a request, the request is processed by the DSP, the audio
      output hardware is polled for completion, the result is copied into
      shared memory, and the host is notified. All of these operation occur
      on a millisecond cadence.  This transaction requires about 2 ms, but
      under heavier workloads it may take up to 4 ms.
      
      Adding a history allows these slow devices the option of providing an
      ART value outside of the current interval. In this case, the callback
      provided is an accessor function for the previously obtained counter
      value. If get_system_device_crosststamp() receives a counter value
      previous to cycle_last, it consults the history provided as an
      argument in history_ref and interpolates the realtime and monotonic
      raw system time using the provided counter value. If there are any
      clock discontinuities, e.g. from calling settimeofday(), the monotonic
      raw time is interpolated in the usual way, but the realtime clock time
      is adjusted by scaling the monotonic raw adjustment.
      
      When an accessor function is used a history argument *must* be
      provided. The history is initialized using ktime_get_snapshot() and
      must be called before the counter values are read.

      time: Add driver cross timestamp interface for higher precision time synchronization · 8006c245
      Christopher S. Hall 提交于
      ACKNOWLEDGMENT: cross timestamp code was developed by Thomas Gleixner
      <tglx@linutronix.de>. It has changed considerably and any mistakes are
      mine.
      
      The precision with which events on multiple networked systems can be
      synchronized using, as an example, PTP (IEEE 1588, 802.1AS) is limited
      by the precision of the cross timestamps between the system clock and
      the device (timestamp) clock. Precision here is the degree of
      simultaneity when capturing the cross timestamp.
      
      Currently the PTP cross timestamp is captured in software using the
      PTP device driver ioctl PTP_SYS_OFFSET. Reads of the device clock are
      interleaved with reads of the realtime clock. At best, the precision
      of this cross timestamp is on the order of several microseconds due to
      software latencies. Sub-microsecond precision is required for
      industrial control and some media applications. To achieve this level
      of precision hardware supported cross timestamping is needed.
      
      The function get_device_system_crosstimestamp() allows device drivers
      to return a cross timestamp with system time properly scaled to
      nanoseconds.  The realtime value is needed to discipline that clock
      using PTP and the monotonic raw value is used for applications that
      don't require a "real" time, but need an unadjusted clock time.  The
      get_device_system_crosstimestamp() code calls back into the driver to
      ensure that the system counter is within the current timekeeping
      update interval.
      
      Modern Intel hardware provides an Always Running Timer (ART) which is
      exactly related to TSC through a known frequency ratio. The ART is
      routed to devices on the system and is used to precisely and
      simultaneously capture the device clock with the ART.

      time: Add timekeeping snapshot code capturing system time and counter · 9da0f49c
      Christopher S. Hall 提交于
      In the current timekeeping code there isn't any interface to
      atomically capture the current relationship between the system counter
      and system time. ktime_get_snapshot() returns this triple (counter,
      monotonic raw, realtime) in the system_time_snapshot struct.

      timekeeping: Provide new API to get the current time resolution · 6374f912
      Harald Geyer 提交于
      This patch series introduces a new function
      u32 ktime_get_resolution_ns(void)
      which allows to clean up some driver code.
      
      In particular the IIO subsystem has a function to provide timestamps for
      events but no means to get their resolution. So currently the dht11 driver
      tries to guess the resolution in a rather messy and convoluted way. We
      can do much better with the new code.
      
      This API is not designed to be exposed to user space.
      
      This has been tested on i386, sunxi and mxs.
