* ARM: 7205/2: sched_clock: allow sched_clock to be selected at runtimeMarc Zyngier2011-12-181-107/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sched_clock() is yet another blocker on the road to the single image. This patch implements an idea by Russell King: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-omap/msg49561.html Instead of asking the platform to implement both sched_clock() itself and the rollover callback, simply register a read() function, and let the ARM code care about sched_clock() itself, the conversion to ns and the rollover. sched_clock() uses this read() function as an indirection to the platform code. If the platform doesn't provide a read(), the code falls back to the jiffy counter (just like the default sched_clock). This allow some simplifications and possibly some footprint gain when multiple platforms are compiled in. Among the drawbacks, the removal of the *_fixed_sched_clock optimization which could negatively impact some platforms (sa1100, tegra, versatile and omap). Tested on 11MPCore, OMAP4 and Tegra.

* ARM: sched_clock: allow init_sched_clock() to be called earlyRussell King2011-01-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | sched_clock is supposed to be initialized early - in the recently added init_early platform hook. However, in doing so we end up calling mod_timer() before the timer lists are initialized, resulting in an oops. Split the initialization in two - the part which the platform calls early which starts things off. The addition of the timer can be delayed until after we have more of the kernel initialized - when the normal time sources are initialized. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* ARM: sched_clock: provide common infrastructure for sched_clock()Russell King2010-12-221-0/+118
Provide common sched_clock() infrastructure for platforms to use to create a 64-bit ns based sched_clock() implementation from a counter running at a non-variable clock rate. This implementation is based upon maintaining an epoch for the counter and an epoch for the nanosecond time. When we desire a sched_clock() time, we calculate the number of counter ticks since the last epoch update, convert this to nanoseconds and add to the epoch nanoseconds. We regularly refresh these epochs within the counter wrap interval. We perform a similar calculation as above, and store the new epochs. We read and write the epochs in such a way that sched_clock() can easily (and locklessly) detect when an update is in progress, and repeat the loading of these constants when they're known not to be stable. The one caveat is that sched_clock() is not called in the middle of an update. We achieve that by disabling IRQs. Finally, if the clock rate is known at compile time, the counter to ns conversion factors can be specified, allowing sched_clock() to be tightly optimized. We ensure that these factors are correct by providing an initialization function which performs a run-time check.
