/* * Utility code which helps transforming between two different time * bases, called "source" and "target" time in this code. * * Source time has to be provided via the timecounter API while target * time is accessed via a function callback whose prototype * intentionally matches ktime_get() and ktime_get_real(). These * interfaces where chosen like this so that the code serves its * initial purpose without additional glue code. * * This purpose is synchronizing a hardware clock in a NIC with system * time, in order to implement the Precision Time Protocol (PTP, * IEEE1588) with more accurate hardware assisted time stamping. In * that context only synchronization against system time (= * ktime_get_real()) is currently needed. But this utility code might * become useful in other situations, which is why it was written as * general purpose utility code. * * The source timecounter is assumed to return monotonically * increasing time (but this code does its best to compensate if that * is not the case) whereas target time may jump. * * The target time corresponding to a source time is determined by * reading target time, reading source time, reading target time * again, then assuming that average target time corresponds to source * time. In other words, the assumption is that reading the source * time is slow and involves equal time for sending the request and * receiving the reply, whereas reading target time is assumed to be * fast. * * Copyright (C) 2009 Intel Corporation. * Author: Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly@intel.com> * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it * under the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License, * version 2, as published by the Free Software Foundation. * * This program is distributed in the hope it will be useful, but WITHOUT * ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or * FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. * See the GNU General Public License for * more details. * * You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with * this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., * 51 Franklin St - Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA. */ #ifndef _LINUX_TIMECOMPARE_H #define _LINUX_TIMECOMPARE_H #include <linux/clocksource.h> #include <linux/ktime.h> /** * struct timecompare - stores state and configuration for the two clocks * * Initialize to zero, then set source/target/num_samples. * * Transformation between source time and target time is done with: * target_time = source_time + offset + * (source_time - last_update) * skew / * TIMECOMPARE_SKEW_RESOLUTION * * @source: used to get source time stamps via timecounter_read() * @target: function returning target time (for example, ktime_get * for monotonic time, or ktime_get_real for wall clock) * @num_samples: number of times that source time and target time are to * be compared when determining their offset * @offset: (target time - source time) at the time of the last update * @skew: average (target time - source time) / delta source time * * TIMECOMPARE_SKEW_RESOLUTION * @last_update: last source time stamp when time offset was measured */ struct timecompare { struct timecounter *source; ktime_t (*target)(void); int num_samples; s64 offset; s64 skew; u64 last_update; }; /** * timecompare_transform - transform source time stamp into target time base * @sync: context for time sync * @source_tstamp: the result of timecounter_read() or * timecounter_cyc2time() */ extern ktime_t timecompare_transform(struct timecompare *sync, u64 source_tstamp); /** * timecompare_offset - measure current (target time - source time) offset * @sync: context for time sync * @offset: average offset during sample period returned here * @source_tstamp: average source time during sample period returned here * * Returns number of samples used.
