2009-01-16clockevents: let set_mode() setup delta informationMagnus Damm
Allow the set_mode() clockevent callback to decide and fill in delta details such as shift, mult, max_delta_ns and min_delta_ns. With this change the clockevent can be registered without delta details which allows us to keep the parent clock disabled until the clockevent gets setup using set_mode(). Letting set_mode() fill in or update delta details allows us to save power by disabling the parent clock while the clockevent is unused. This may however make the parent clock rate change, so next time the clockevent gets enabled we need let set_mode() to update the detla details accordingly. Doing it at registration time is not enough. Furthermore, the delta details seem unused in the case of periodic-only clockevent drivers, so this change also allows registration of such drivers without the delta details filled in.

2008-12-13cpumask: convert struct clock_event_device to cpumask pointers.Rusty Russell
Impact: change calling convention of existing clock_event APIs struct clock_event_timer's cpumask field gets changed to take pointer, as does the ->broadcast function. Another single-patch change. For safety, we BUG_ON() in clockevents_register_device() if it's not set. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-09-16clockevents: make device shutdown robustThomas Gleixner
The device shut down does not cleanup the next_event variable of the clock event device. So when the device is reactivated the possible stale next_event value can prevent the device to be reprogrammed as it claims to wait on a event already. This is the root cause of the resurfacing suspend/resume problem, where systems need key press to come back to life. Fix this by setting next_event to KTIME_MAX when the device is shut down. Use a separate function for shutdown which takes care of that and only keep the direct set mode call in the broadcast code, where we can not touch the next_event value.

2008-09-05clockevents: prevent clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noopVenkatesh Pallipadi
There is a ordering related problem with clockevents code, due to which clockevents_register_device() called after tickless/highres switch will not work. The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as event handler, resulting in no timer activity. The problematic path seems to be * old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler * new clockevent device registers with a higher rating * tick_check_new_device() is called * clockevents_exchange_device() gets called * old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop * tick_setup_device() is called for the new device * which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop. Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler. This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch. This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting with.

2007-12-07clockevents: warn once when program_event() is called with negative expiryThomas Gleixner
The hrtimer problem with large relative timeouts resulting in a negative expiry time went unnoticed as there is no check in the clockevents_program_event() code. Put a check there with a WARN_ONCE to avoid such problems in the future. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-02-16[PATCH] clockevents: add core functionalityThomas Gleixner
Architectures register their clock event devices, in the clock events core. Users of the clockevents core can get clock event devices for their use. The clockevents core code provides notification mechanisms for various clock related management events. This allows to control the clock event devices without the architectures having to worry about the details of function assignment. This is also a preliminary for high resolution timers and dynamic ticks to allow the core code to control the clock functionality without intrusive changes to the architecture code.
