docs: timers: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-06-14T20:31:48+00:00

The conversion here is really trivial: just a bunch of title markups and very few puntual changes is enough to make it to be parsed by Sphinx and generate a nice html. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

samples: move timers example code from Documentation

2016-09-23T17:51:58+00:00

Move timers examples to samples and remove it from Documentation Makefile. Create a new Makefile to build timers. It can be built from top level directory or from timers directory: Run make -C samples/timers or cd samples/timers; make Acked-by: Jonathan Corbet Acked-by: Clemens Ladisch Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

hpet: Drop stale URLs

2016-02-17T08:39:56+00:00

Looks like the HPET spec at intel.com got moved. It isn't hard to find so drop the link, just mention the revision assumed. Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Documentation/timers/: split txt and source files

2010-03-12T23:52:35+00:00

Documentation/timers/hpet.txt: Expose example and tool source files in the Documentation/timers/ directory in their own files instead of being buried (almost hidden) in readme/txt files. This should help to prevent bitrot. This will make them more visible/usable to users who may need to use them, to developers who may need to test with them, and to anyone who would fix/update them if they were more visible. Also, if any of these possibly should not be in the kernel tree at all, it will be clearer that they are here and we can discuss if they should be removed.

hpet: /dev/hpet - fixes and cleanup

2008-07-31T16:45:41+00:00

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.
