[PATCH spi for-5.4 2/5] spi: Add a PTP system timestamp to the transfer structure

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

 



SPI is one of the interfaces used to access devices which have a POSIX
clock driver (real time clocks, 1588 timers etc).

Since there are lots of sources of timing jitter when retrieving the
time from such a device (queuing delays, locking contention, running in
interruptible context etc), introduce a PTP system timestamp structure
in struct spi_transfer. This is to be used by SPI device drivers when
they need to know the exact time at which the underlying device's time
was snapshotted.

Because SPI controllers may have jitter even between frames, also
introduce a field which specifies to the controller driver specifically
which byte needs to be snapshotted.

Add a default implementation of the PTP system timestamping in the SPI
core. There are 3 entry points from the core towards the SPI controller
drivers:
- transfer_one: The driver is passed individual spi_transfers to
  execute. This is the easiest to timestamp.
- transfer_one_message: The core passes the driver an entire spi_message
  (a potential batch of spi_transfers). The core puts the same pre and
  post timestamp to all transfers within a message. This is not ideal,
  but nothing better can be done by default anyway, since the core has
  no insight into how the driver batches the transfers.
- transfer: Like transfer_one_message, but for unqueued drivers (i.e.
  the driver implements its own queue scheduling).
