26 * struct cyclecounter - hardware abstraction for a free running counter
27 * Provides completely state-free accessors to the underlying hardware.
28 * Depending on which hardware it reads, the cycle counter may wrap
29 * around quickly. Locking rules (if necessary) have to be defined
30 * by the implementor and user of specific instances of this API.
32 * @read: returns the current cycle value
33 * @mask: bitmask for two's complement
34 * subtraction of non 64 bit counters,
35 * see CYCLECOUNTER_MASK() helper macro
36 * @mult: cycle to nanosecond multiplier
37 * @shift: cycle to nanosecond divisor (power of two)
40 cycle_t (*read)(const struct cyclecounter *cc);
47 * struct timecounter - layer above a %struct cyclecounter which counts nanoseconds
48 * Contains the state needed by timecounter_read() to detect
49 * cycle counter wrap around. Initialize with
50 * timecounter_init(). Also used to convert cycle counts into the
51 * corresponding nanosecond counts with timecounter_cyc2time(). Users
52 * of this code are responsible for initializing the underlying
53 * cycle counter hardware, locking issues and reading the time
54 * more often than the cycle counter wraps around. The nanosecond
55 * counter will only wrap around after ~585 years.
57 * @cc: the cycle counter used by this instance
58 * @cycle_last: most recent cycle counter value seen by
60 * @nsec: continuously increasing count
61 * @mask: bit mask for maintaining the 'frac' field
62 * @frac: accumulated fractional nanoseconds
65 const struct cyclecounter *cc;
73 * cyclecounter_cyc2ns - converts cycle counter cycles to nanoseconds
74 * @cc: Pointer to cycle counter.
76 * @mask: bit mask for maintaining the 'frac' field
77 * @frac: pointer to storage for the fractional nanoseconds.

91 * @delta: Desired change in nanoseconds.

99 * timecounter_init - initialize a time counter
100 * @tc: Pointer to time counter which is to be initialized/reset
101 * @cc: A cycle counter, ready to be used.
102 * @start_tstamp: Arbitrary initial time stamp.
104 * After this call the current cycle register (roughly) corresponds to
105 * the initial time stamp. Every call to timecounter_read() increments
106 * the time stamp counter by the number of elapsed nanoseconds.

118 * the function which generated the initial time stamp.

130 * fall into the interval [-1/2 max cycle count, +1/2 max cycle count],
131 * with "max cycle count" == cs->mask+1.
