dma-fence: allow signaling drivers to set fence timestamp
Some drivers have hardware capability to get the precise HW timestamp of certain events based on which the fences are triggered. The delta between the event HW timestamp & current HW reference timestamp can be used to calculate the timestamp in kernel's CLOCK_MONOTONIC time domain. This allows it to set accurate timestamp factoring out any software and IRQ latencies. Add a timestamp variant of fence signal function, dma_fence_signal_timestamp to allow drivers to update the precise timestamp for fences. Changes in v2: - Add a new fence signal variant instead of modifying fence struct Changes in v3: - Add timestamp domain information to commit-text and dma_fence_signal_timestamp documentation Signed-off-by: NVeera Sundaram Sankaran <veeras@codeaurora.org> Reviewed-by: NJohn Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NSumit Semwal <sumit.semwal@linaro.org> [sumits: minor parenthesis alignment] Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1610757107-11892-1-git-send-email-veeras@codeaurora.org
