clockevents: Make clockevents_config() static

2017-03-23T19:14:05+00:00

A clockevent device's rate should be configured before or at registration and changed afterwards through clockevents_update_freq() only. For the configuration at registration, we already have clockevents_config_and_register(). Right now, there are no clockevents_config() users outside of the clockevents core. To mitigiate the risk of drivers errorneously reconfiguring their rates through clockevents_config() *after* device registration, make clockevents_config() static.

ktime: Get rid of the union

2016-12-25T16:21:22+00:00

ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but become completely pointless. Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64. The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra

clockevents: Make clockevents_subsys static

2016-07-19T08:48:06+00:00

The clockevents_subsys struct is used for sysfs support and is not declared or used outside the file it is defined in. Fix the following warning by making it static: kernel/time/clockevents.c:648:17: warning: symbol 'clockevents_subsys' was not declared. Should it be static?

clockevents: Remove unused set_mode() callback

2015-09-14T09:00:55+00:00

All users are migrated to the per-state callbacks, get rid of the unused interface and the core support code.

clockevents: Allow set-state callbacks to be optional

2015-07-07T08:44:45+00:00

Its mandatory for the drivers to provide set_state_{oneshot|periodic}() (only if related modes are supported) and set_state_shutdown() callbacks today, if they are implementing the new set-state interface. But this leads to unnecessary noop callbacks for drivers which don't want to implement them. Over that, it will lead to a full function call for nothing really useful. Lets make all set-state callbacks optional.

clockevents: Check state instead of mode in suspend/resume path

2015-06-18T07:27:02+00:00

CLOCK_EVT_MODE_* macros are present for backward compatibility (as most of the drivers are still using old ->set_mode() interface). These macro's shouldn't be used anymore in code, that is common to both driver interfaces, i.e. ->set_mode() and ->set_state_*(). Drivers implementing ->set_state_*() interface, which have their clkevt->mode set to 0 (clkevt device structures are normally globally defined), will not participate in suspend/resume as they will always be marked as UNUSED. Fix this by checking state of the clockevent device instead of mode, which is updated for both the interfaces.

clockevents: Provide functions to set and get the state

2015-06-02T12:40:47+00:00

We want to rename dev->state, so provide proper get and set functions. Rename clockevents_set_state() to clockevents_switch_state() to avoid confusion. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Viresh Kumar Cc: Peter Zijlstra

clockevents: Do not suspend/resume if unused

2015-05-26T23:03:38+00:00

There is no point in calling suspend/resume for unused clockevents as they are already stopped and disabled. This is really important for AT91 as the hardware is a trainwreck and takes ages to synchronize.
