[RFC PATCH 4/4] treewide: Use clocksource id for struct system_counterval_t

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Use enum clocksource_ids, rather than struct clocksource *, in struct
system_counterval_t. This allows drivers to use
get_device_system_crosststamp() without referring to clocksource structs,
which are clocksource driver implementation details.

As a "treewide" change, this modifies code in timekeeping, ptp/kvm, and
x86/tsc.

So far, get_device_system_crosststamp() requires the caller to provide a
clocksource * as part of the cross-timestamp (through the
system_counterval_t * parameter in the get_time_fn() callback). But
clocksource * are not easily accessible to most code. As a workaround,
custom functions returning the clocksource * may be put into the
clocksource driver code (cf. kvm_arch_ptp_get_crosststamp() in
arm_arch_timer.c).

To avoid more interference with clocksource driver implementation details
from future code, change system_counterval_t to use enum clocksource_ids,
which serves as a unique identifier for relevant clocksources.

This change will allow the virtio_rtc driver, available as an RFC patch
series, to work without modifying the arm_arch_timer implementation.

This change should not alter any behavior. For the x86 ART related code,
.cs == NULL corresponds to system_counterval_t.cs_id == CSID_GENERIC (0).

The one drawback of this change is that clocksources now need a custom id
to work with get_device_system_crosststamp(), since they cannot be
distinguished otherwise.
