    USB: EHCI: introduce high-res timer · d58b4bcc
    Alan Stern 提交于
    This patch (as1572) begins the conversion of ehci-hcd over to using
    high-resolution timers rather than old-fashioned low-resolution kernel
    timers.  This reduces overhead caused by timer roundoff on systems
    where HZ is smaller than 1000.  Also, the new timer framework
    introduced here is much more logical and easily extended than the
    ad-hoc approach ehci-hcd currently uses for timers.
    
    An hrtimer structure is added to ehci_hcd, along with a bitflag array
    and an array of ktime_t values, to keep track of which timing events
    are pending and what their expiration times are.
    
    Only the infrastructure for the timing operations is added in this
    patch.  Later patches will add routines for handling each of the
    various timing events the driver needs.  In some cases the new hrtimer
    handlers will replace the existing handlers for ehci-hcd's kernel
    timers; as this happens the old timers will be removed.  In other
    cases the new timing events will replace busy-wait loops.
