Mapping from a struct timecounter to a time returned by functions like ktime_get_real() is implemented. This is sufficient to use this code in a network device driver which wants to support hardware time stamping and transformation of hardware time stamps to system time. The interface could have been made more versatile by not depending on a time counter, but this wasn't done to avoid writing glue code elsewhere. The method implemented here is the one used and analyzed under the name "assisted PTP" in the LCI PTP paper: http://www.linuxclustersinstitute.org/conferences/archive/2008/PDF/Ohly_92221.pdf Acked-by: John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

|
* 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.
