17 * struct cyclecounter - hardware abstraction for a free running counter
18 * Provides completely state-free accessors to the underlying hardware.
19 * Depending on which hardware it reads, the cycle counter may wrap
20 * around quickly. Locking rules (if necessary) have to be defined
21 * by the implementor and user of specific instances of this API.
23 * @read: returns the current cycle value
24 * @mask: bitmask for two's complement
25 * subtraction of non-64-bit counters,
26 * see CYCLECOUNTER_MASK() helper macro
27 * @mult: cycle to nanosecond multiplier
28 * @shift: cycle to nanosecond divisor (power of two)

38 * struct timecounter - layer above a &struct cyclecounter which counts nanoseconds
39 * Contains the state needed by timecounter_read() to detect
40 * cycle counter wrap around. Initialize with
41 * timecounter_init(). Also used to convert cycle counts into the
42 * corresponding nanosecond counts with timecounter_cyc2time(). Users
43 * of this code are responsible for initializing the underlying
44 * cycle counter hardware, locking issues and reading the time
45 * more often than the cycle counter wraps around. The nanosecond
46 * counter will only wrap around after ~585 years.
48 * @cc: the cycle counter used by this instance
49 * @cycle_last: most recent cycle counter value seen by
51 * @nsec: continuously increasing count
52 * @mask: bit mask for maintaining the 'frac' field
53 * @frac: accumulated fractional nanoseconds

65 * @cc: Pointer to cycle counter.
