* documentation: Update NO_HZ_FULL interaction with POSIX timersPaul E. McKenney2015-02-261-7/+3
| | | | | | | | POSIX timers are no longer starved on adaptive-ticks CPUs. Instead, they prevent affected CPUs from entering adaptive-ticks mode. This commit therefore updates the NO_HZ.txt documentation. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

* clocksource: document some basic timekeeping conceptsLinus Walleij2014-07-232-0/+181
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds some documentation about clock sources, clock events, the weak sched_clock() function and delay timers that answers questions that repeatedly arise on the mailing lists.

* timer_stats/doc: Fix /proc/timer_stats documentationMichael Kerrisk2014-05-041-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Documentation/timers/timer_stats.txt claims: "The readout of /proc/timer_stats automatically disables sampling. The sampled information is kept until a new sample period is started. This allows multiple readouts." Some simple testing shows that reading from /proc/timer_stats does not disable sampling. Looking back over past source code, it appears that it never did.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This file seeks to explain the nuances in various delays; many driver writers are not necessarily familiar with the various kernel timers, their shortfalls, and quirks. When faced with ndelay, udelay, mdelay, usleep_range, msleep, and msleep_interrubtible the question "How do I just wait 1 ms for my hardware to latch?" has the non-intuitive "best" answer: usleep_range(1000,1500) This patch is followed by a series of checkpatch additions that seek to help kernel hackers pick the best delay.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Minor /dev/hpet updates and bugfixes: * Remove dead code, mostly remnants of an incomplete/unusable kernel interface ... noted when addressing "sparse" warnings: + hpet_unregister() and a routine it calls + hpet_task and all references, including hpet_task_lock + hpet_data.hd_flags (and HPET_DATA_PLATFORM) * Correct and improve boot message: + displays *counter* (shared between comparators) bit width, not *timer* bit widths (which are often mixed) + relabel "timers" as "comparators"; this is less confusing, they are not independent like normal timers are (sigh) + display MHz not Hz; it's never less than 10 MHz. * Tighten and correct the userspace interface code + don't accidentally program comparators in 64-bit mode using 32-bit values ... always force comparators into 32-bit mode + provide the correct bit definition flagging comparators with periodic capability ... the ABI is unchanged * Update Documentation/hpet.txt + be more correct and current + expand description a bit + don't mention that now-gone kernel interface Plus, add a FIXME comment for something that could cause big trouble on systems with more capable HPETs than at least Intel seems to ship. It seems that few folk use this userspace interface; it's not very usable given the general lack of HPET IRQ routing. I'm told that the only real point of it any more is to mmap for fast timestamps; IMO that's handled better through the gettimeofday() vsyscall.
