2008-01-30clocksource: add unregister function to disable unusable clocksourcesThomas Gleixner1-0/+1
On x86 the PIT might become an unusable clocksource. Add an unregister function to provide a possibilty to remove the PIT from the list of available clock sources. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]>

2007-10-18Fix discrepancy between VDSO based gettimeofday() and sys_gettimeofday().Tony Breeds1-0/+5
On platforms that copy sys_tz into the vdso (currently only x86_64, soon to include powerpc), it is possible for the vdso to get out of sync if a user calls (admittedly unusual) settimeofday(NULL, ptr). This patch adds a hook for architectures that set CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL to ensure when sys_tz is updated they can also updatee their copy in the vdso.

2007-07-20[IA64] Convert to generic timekeeping/clocksourceTony Luck1-0/+6

2007-05-09clocksource: fix resume logicThomas Gleixner1-0/+3
We need to make sure that the clocksources are resumed, when timekeeping is resumed. The current resume logic does not guarantee this. Add a resume function pointer to the clocksource struct, so clocksource drivers which need to reinitialize the clocksource can provide a resume function. Add a resume function, which calls the maybe available clocksource resume functions and resets the watchdog function, so a stable TSC can be used accross suspend/resume.

2007-05-08time: SMP friendly alignment of struct clocksourceEric Dumazet1-2/+13
struct clocksource is a critical data structure. Most of its fields are read only, some of them are heavily modified at each timer interrupt. It makes sense to separate those fields and make sure they all share one cache line, or at least the minimum for machines with small cache lines.

2007-02-16[PATCH] clocksource: Add verification (watchdog) helperThomas Gleixner1-2/+13
The TSC needs to be verified against another clocksource. Instead of using hardwired assumptions of available hardware, provide a generic verification mechanism. The verification uses the best available clocksource and handles the usability for high resolution timers / dynticks of the clocksource which needs to be verified.

2007-02-16[PATCH] clocksource: Remove the update callbackThomas Gleixner1-2/+0

2006-06-26[PATCH] Time: Use clocksource abstraction for NTP adjustmentsjohn stultz1-0/+97
Instead of incrementing xtime by tick_nsec + ntp adjustments, use the clocksource abstraction to increment and scale time. Using the clocksource abstraction allows other clocksources to be used consistently in the face of late or lost ticks, while preserving the existing behavior via the jiffies clocksource. This removes the need to keep time_phase adjustments as we just use the current_tick_length() function as the NTP interface and accumulate time using shifted nanoseconds. The basics of this design was by Roman Zippel, however it is my own interpretation and implementation, so the credit should go to him and the blame to me.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Time: Clocksource Infrastructurejohn stultz1-0/+181
This introduces the clocksource management infrastructure. A clocksource is a driver-like architecture generic abstraction of a free-running counter. This code defines the clocksource structure, and provides management code for registering, selecting, accessing and scaling clocksources. Additionally, this includes the trivial jiffies clocksource, a lowest common denominator clocksource, provided mainly for use as an example.
