17 * struct cyclecounter - hardware abstraction for a free running counter
18 * Provides completely state-free accessors to the underlying hardware.
19 * Depending on which hardware it reads, the cycle counter may wrap
20 * around quickly. Locking rules (if necessary) have to be defined
21 * by the implementor and user of specific instances of this API.
23 * @read: returns the current cycle value
24 * @mask: bitmask for two's complement
25 * subtraction of non 64 bit counters,
26 * see CYCLECOUNTER_MASK() helper macro
27 * @mult: cycle to nanosecond multiplier
28 * @shift: cycle to nanosecond divisor (power of two)
31 u64 (*read)(const struct cyclecounter *cc);
38 * struct timecounter - layer above a %struct cyclecounter which counts nanoseconds
39 * Contains the state needed by timecounter_read() to detect
40 * cycle counter wrap around. Initialize with
41 * timecounter_init(). Also used to convert cycle counts into the
42 * corresponding nanosecond counts with timecounter_cyc2time(). Users
43 * of this code are responsible for initializing the underlying
44 * cycle counter hardware, locking issues and reading the time
45 * more often than the cycle counter wraps around. The nanosecond
46 * counter will only wrap around after ~585 years.
48 * @cc: the cycle counter used by this instance
49 * @cycle_last: most recent cycle counter value seen by
51 * @nsec: continuously increasing count
52 * @mask: bit mask for maintaining the 'frac' field
53 * @frac: accumulated fractional nanoseconds
56 const struct cyclecounter *cc;
64 * cyclecounter_cyc2ns - converts cycle counter cycles to nanoseconds
65 * @cc: Pointer to cycle counter.
67 * @mask: bit mask for maintaining the 'frac' field
68 * @frac: pointer to storage for the fractional nanoseconds.

90 * timecounter_init - initialize a time counter
91 * @tc: Pointer to time counter which is to be initialized/reset
92 * @cc: A cycle counter, ready to be used.
93 * @start_tstamp: Arbitrary initial time stamp.
95 * After this call the current cycle register (roughly) corresponds to
96 * the initial time stamp. Every call to timecounter_read() increments
97 * the time stamp counter by the number of elapsed nanoseconds.

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