* sched_clock: Remove sched_clock_func() hookStephen Boyd2013-10-091-8/+1
| | | | | | | | | Nobody is using sched_clock_func() anymore now that sched_clock supports up to 64 bits. Remove the hook so that new code only uses sched_clock_register(). Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
* sched_clock: Add support for >32 bit sched_clockStephen Boyd2013-07-301-14/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ARM architected system counter has at least 56 usable bits. Add support for counters with more than 32 bits to the generic sched_clock implementation so we can increase the time between wakeups due to dealing with wrap-around on these devices while benefiting from the irqtime accounting and suspend/resume handling that the generic sched_clock code already has. On my system using 56 bits over 32 bits changes the wraparound time from a few minutes to an hour. For faster running counters (GHz range) this is even more important because we may not be able to execute the timer in time to deal with the wraparound if only 32 bits are used. We choose a maxsec value of 3600 seconds because we assume no system will go idle for more than an hour. In the future we may need to increase this value. Note: All users should switch over to the 64-bit read function so we can remove setup_sched_clock() in favor of sched_clock_register().

* sched_clock: Use an hrtimer instead of timerStephen Boyd2013-07-301-17/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the next patch we're going to increase the number of bits that the generic sched_clock can handle to be greater than 32. With more than 32 bits the wraparound time can be larger than what can fit into the units that msecs_to_jiffies takes (unsigned int). Luckily, the wraparound is initially calculated in nanoseconds which we can easily use with hrtimers, so switch to using an hrtimer.

* sched_clock: Use seqcount instead of rolling our ownStephen Boyd2013-07-301-19/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We're going to increase the cyc value to 64 bits in the near future. Doing that is going to break the custom seqcount implementation in the sched_clock code because 64 bit numbers aren't guaranteed to be atomic. Replace the cyc_copy with a seqcount to avoid this problem.

* ARM: sched_clock: Load cycle count after epoch stabilizesStephen Boyd2013-06-171-11/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a small race between when the cycle count is read from the hardware and when the epoch stabilizes. Consider this scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- cyc = read_sched_clock() cyc_to_sched_clock() update_sched_clock() ... cd.epoch_cyc = cyc; epoch_cyc = cd.epoch_cyc; ... epoch_ns + cyc_to_ns((cyc - epoch_cyc) The cyc on cpu0 was read before the epoch changed. But we calculate the nanoseconds based on the new epoch by subtracting the new epoch from the old cycle count. Since epoch is most likely larger than the old cycle count we calculate a large number that will be converted to nanoseconds and added to epoch_ns, causing time to jump forward too much. Fix this problem by reading the hardware after the epoch has stabilized.

* sched_clock: Make ARM's sched_clock generic for all architecturesStephen Boyd2013-06-121-0/+215
Nothing about the sched_clock implementation in the ARM port is specific to the architecture. Generalize the code so that other architectures can use it by selecting GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK.
