2015-04-22alarmtimer: Get rid of unused return valueThomas Gleixner
We want to get rid of the hrtimer_start() return value and the alarm timer return value is nowhere used. Remove it.

2013-05-29alarmtimer: Add functions for timerfd supportTodd Poynor
Add functions needed for hooking up alarmtimer to timerfd: * alarm_restart: Similar to hrtimer_restart, restart an alarmtimer after the expires time has already been updated (as with alarm_forward). * alarm_forward_now: Similar to hrtimer_forward_now, move the expires time forward to an interval from the current time of the associated clock. * alarm_start_relative: Start an alarmtimer with an expires time relative to the current time of the associated clock. * alarm_expires_remaining: Similar to hrtimer_expires_remaining, return the amount of time remaining until alarm expiry.

2012-09-24alarmtimer: Remove unused helpers & definesJohn Stultz
No one is using these alarmtimer state helpers, so yank them. Cc: Arve Hjønnevåg <arve@android.com> Cc: Colin Cross <ccross@android.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
2012-09-24alarmtimer: Use hrtimer per-alarm instead of per-baseJohn Stultz
Arve Hjønnevåg reported numerous crashes from the "BUG_ON(timer->state != HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK)" check in __run_hrtimer after it called alarmtimer_fired. It ends up the alarmtimer code was not properly handling possible failures of hrtimer_try_to_cancel, and because these faulres occur when the underlying base hrtimer is being run, this limits the ability to properly handle modifications to any alarmtimers on that base. Because much of the logic duplicates the hrtimer logic, it seems that we might as well have a per-alarmtimer hrtimer, and avoid the extra complextity of trying to multiplex many alarmtimers off of one hrtimer. Thus this patch moves the hrtimer to the alarm structure and simplifies the management logic.

2012-04-20alarmtimer: Provide accessor to alarmtimer rtc deviceJohn Stultz
The Android alarm interface provides a settime call that sets both the alarmtimer RTC device and CLOCK_REALTIME to the same value. Since there may be multiple rtc devices, provide a hook to access the one the alarmtimer infrastructure is using.

2011-08-10alarmtimers: Add try_to_cancel functionalityJohn Stultz
There's a number of edge cases when cancelling a alarm, so to be sure we accurately do so, introduce try_to_cancel, which returns proper failure errors if it cannot. Also modify cancel to spin until the alarm is properly disabled. CC: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
2011-08-10alarmtimers: Add more refined alarm state trackingJohn Stultz
In order to allow for functionality like try_to_cancel, add more refined state tracking (similar to hrtimers). CC: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
2011-08-10alarmtimers: Remove period from alarm structureJohn Stultz
Now that periodic alarmtimers are managed by the handler function, remove the period value from the alarm structure and let the handlers manage the interval on their own. CC: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
2011-08-10alarmtimers: Add alarm_forward functionalityJohn Stultz
In order to avoid wasting time expiring and re-adding very high freq periodic alarmtimers, introduce alarm_forward() which is similar to hrtimer_forward and moves the timer to the next future expiration time and returns the number of overruns.

2011-08-10alarmtimers: Change alarmtimer functions to return alarmtimer_restart valuesJohn Stultz
In order to properly fix the denial of service issue with high freq periodic alarm timers, we need to push the re-arming logic into the alarm timer handler, much as the hrtimer code does. This patch introduces alarmtimer_restart enum and changes the alarmtimer handler declarations to use it as a return value. Further, to ease following changes, it extends the alarmtimer handler functions to also take the time at expiration. No logic is yet modified.

2011-04-28timers: Improve alarmtimer comments and minor fixesJohn Stultz

2011-04-26timers: Introduce in-kernel alarm-timer interfaceJohn Stultz
This provides the in kernel interface and infrastructure for alarm-timers. Alarm-timers are a hybrid style timer, similar to hrtimers, but when the system is suspended, the RTC device is set to fire and wake the system for when the soonest alarm-timer expires. The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree. See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36 This in-kernel interface should be fairly compatible with the Android alarm driver in-kernel interface, but has the advantage of utilizing the new RTC timerqueue code instead of doing direct RTC manipulation.
