clocksource: fix resume logic

2007-05-09T19:30:56+00:00

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.

time: SMP friendly alignment of struct clocksource

2007-05-08T18:15:06+00:00

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.

[PATCH] clocksource: Add verification (watchdog) helper

2007-02-16T16:13:57+00:00

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.

[PATCH] clocksource: Remove the update callback

2007-02-16T16:13:57+00:00

The clocksource code allows direct updates of the rating of a given clocksource now. Change TSC unstable tracking to use this interface and remove the update callback.

[PATCH] clocksource: replace is_continuous by a flag field

2007-02-16T16:13:57+00:00

Using a flag filed allows to encode more than one information into a variable. Preparatory patch for the generic clocksource verification.

[PATCH] Simplify the registration of clocksources

2007-02-16T16:13:57+00:00

Enqueue clocksources in rating order to make selection of the clocksource easier. Also check the match with an user override at enqueue time.

[PATCH] fix and optimize clock source update

2006-06-26T16:58:21+00:00

This fixes the clock source updates in update_wall_time() to correctly track the time coming in via current_tick_length(). Optimize the fast paths to be as short as possible to keep the overhead low.

[PATCH] generic-time: add macro to simplify/hide mask constants

2006-06-26T16:58:21+00:00

Add a CLOCKSOURCE_MASK macro to simplify initializing the mask for a struct clocksource, and use it to replace literal mask constants in the various clocksource drivers. Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie Acked-by: John Stultz Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
