Documentation: document ktime_get_*() APIs

2018-07-23T15:16:56Z

As Dave Chinner points out, we don't have a proper documentation for the ktime_get() family of interfaces, making it rather unclear which of the over 30 (!) interfaces one should actually use in a driver or elsewhere in the kernel. I wrote up an explanation from how I personally see the interfaces, documenting what each of the functions do and hopefully making it a bit clearer which should be used where. This is the first time I tried writing .rst format documentation, so in addition to any mistakes in the content, I probably also introduce nonstandard formatting ;-) I first tried to add an extra section to Documentation/timers/timekeeping.txt, but this is currently not included in the generated API, and it seems useful to have the API docs as part of what gets generated in https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/core-api/index.html#core-utilities instead, so I started a new file there. I also considered adding the documentation inline in the include/linux/timekeeping.h header, but couldn't figure out how to do that in a way that would result both in helpful inline comments as well as readable html output, so I settled for the latter, with a small note pointing to it from the header.

timekeeping: Replace read_boot_clock64() with read_persistent_wall_and_boot_offset()

2018-07-19T22:02:40Z

If architecture does not support exact boot time, it is challenging to estimate boot time without having a reference to the current persistent clock value. Yet, it cannot read the persistent clock time again, because this may lead to math discrepancies with the caller of read_boot_clock64() who have read the persistent clock at a different time. This is why it is better to provide two values simultaneously: the persistent clock value, and the boot time. Replace read_boot_clock64() with: read_persistent_wall_and_boot_offset(wall_time, boot_offset) Where wall_time is returned by read_persistent_clock() And boot_offset is wall_time - boot time, which defaults to 0.

timekeeping: Add more coarse clocktai/boottime interfaces

2018-05-19T11:57:33Z

The set of APIs we provide has a few holes for coarse times, e.g. we provide ktime_get_coarse_boottime() and ktime_get_boottime_ts64(), but not the combination of the two. This adds four new functions: ktime_get_coarse_boottime_ts64() ktime_get_boottime_seconds() ktime_get_coarse_clocktai_ts64() ktime_get_clocktai_seconds() to fill in some of the missing pieces. I have missed only the ktime_get_boottime_seconds() accessor in a few occasions in the past, but it seems better to just provide all four together, as there is very little cost to having them.

timekeeping: Add ktime_get_coarse_with_offset

2018-05-19T11:57:32Z

I have run into a couple of drivers using current_kernel_time() suffering from the y2038 problem, and they could be converted to using ktime_t, but don't have interfaces that skip the nanosecond calculation at the moment. This introduces ktime_get_coarse_with_offset() as a simpler variant of ktime_get_with_offset(), and adds wrappers for the three time domains we support with the existing function.

timekeeping: Standardize on ktime_get_*() naming

2018-05-19T11:57:32Z

The current_kernel_time64, get_monotonic_coarse64, getrawmonotonic64, get_monotonic_boottime64 and timekeeping_clocktai64 interfaces have rather inconsistent naming, and they differ in the calling conventions by passing the output either by reference or as a return value. Rename them to ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64, ktime_get_coarse_ts64, ktime_get_raw_ts64, ktime_get_boottime_ts64 and ktime_get_clocktai_ts64 respectively, and provide the interfaces with macros or inline functions as needed.

timekeeping: Clean up ktime_get_real_ts64

2018-05-19T11:57:32Z

In a move to make ktime_get_*() the preferred driver interface into the timekeeping code, sanitizes ktime_get_real_ts64() to be a proper exported symbol rather than an alias for getnstimeofday64(). The internal __getnstimeofday64() is no longer used, so remove that and merge it into ktime_get_real_ts64().
