clocksource: pass clocksource to read() callback

2009-04-21T20:41:47+00:00

Pass clocksource pointer to the read() callback for clocksources.  This
allows us to share the callback between multiple instances.

cpumask: convert struct clock_event_device to cpumask pointers.

2008-12-13T10:50:26+00:00

Impact: change calling convention of existing clock_event APIs

struct clock_event_timer's cpumask field gets changed to take pointer,
as does the ->broadcast function.

Another single-patch change.  For safety, we BUG_ON() in
clockevents_register_device() if it's not set.

avr32: Use instead of

2008-08-05T12:36:57+00:00

Update all avr32-specific files to use the new platform-specific header
locations. Drivers shared with ARM are left alone for now.

avr32: allow system timer to share interrupt to make OProfile work

2008-07-25T12:31:29+00:00

The following patch allows the avr32_comparator interrupt to be shared.
This is necessary as the avr32 oprofile driver shares the irq group 0
with the timer.

To make OProfile actually work on AVR32, a small patch for oprofiled is
also needed (posted to the oprofile mailing list).

avr32: Generic clockevents support

2008-04-20T00:40:08+00:00

This combines three patches from David Brownell:
  * avr32: tclib support
  * avr32: simplify clocksources
  * avr32: Turn count/compare into a oneshot clockevent device

Register both TC blocks (instead of just the first one) so that
the AT32/AT91 tclib code will pick them up (instead of just the
avr32-only PIT-style clocksource).

Rename the first one and its resources appropriately.

More cleanups to the cycle counter clocksource code

 - Disable all the weak symbol magic; remove the AVR32-only TCB-based
   clocksource code (source and header).

 - Mark the __init code properly.

 - Don't forget to report IRQF_TIMER.

 - Make the system work properly with this clocksource, by preventing
   use of the CPU "idle" sleep state in the idle loop when it's used.

Package the avr32 count/compare timekeeping support as a oneshot
clockevent device, so it supports NO_HZ and high res timers.
This means it also supports plugging in other clockevent devices
and clocksources.

avr32: start clocksource cleanup

2008-04-20T00:40:06+00:00

Start cleaning up the AVR32 clocksource mess, starting with the cycle
counter clocksource:  remove unneeded pseudo-RTC (just inline that
call to mktime) and associated build warning, and unused sysdev.

Add comment about the problem using the cycle counter register,
and adjust the clocksource rating accordingly.  Later patches can
make this usable again (by disabling use of the idle state and
providing a proper clocksource without the weak binding hacks)
and move towards TCB-based clockevent support (including high
resolution timers) that's shared between AT91 and AVR32.

Driver core: change sysdev classes to use dynamic kobject names

2008-01-25T04:40:40+00:00

All kobjects require a dynamically allocated name now. We no longer
need to keep track if the name is statically assigned, we can just
unconditionally free() all kobject names on cleanup.

[AVR32] Change system timer from count-compare to Timer/Counter 0

2007-04-27T11:44:12+00:00

Due to limitation of the count-compare system timer (not able to
count when CPU is in sleep), the system timer had to be changed to
use a peripheral timer/counter.

The old COUNT-COMPARE code is still present in time.c as weak
functions. The new timer is added to the architecture directory.

This patch sets up TC0 as system timer The new timer has been tested
on AT32AP7000/ATSTK1000 at 100 Hz, 250 Hz, 300 Hz and 1000 Hz.

For more details about the timer/counter see the datasheet for
AT32AP700x available at
