186 * We want to do realistic conversions of time so we need to use the same
187 * values the update wall clock code uses as the jiffies size. This value
188 * is: TICK_NSEC (which is defined in timex.h). This
189 * is a constant and is in nanoseconds. We will use scaled math
190 * with a set of scales defined here as SEC_JIFFIE_SC, USEC_JIFFIE_SC and
191 * NSEC_JIFFIE_SC. Note that these defines contain nothing but
192 * constants and so are computed at compile time. SHIFT_HZ (computed in
193 * timex.h) adjusts the scaling for different HZ values.
195 * Scaled math??? What is that?
197 * Scaled math is a way to do integer math on values that would,
198 * otherwise, either overflow, underflow, or cause undesired div
199 * instructions to appear in the execution path. In short, we "scale"
200 * up the operands so they take more bits (more precision, less
201 * underflow), do the desired operation and then "scale" the result back
202 * by the same amount. If we do the scaling by shifting we avoid the
203 * costly mpy and the dastardly div instructions.
205 * Suppose, for example, we want to convert from seconds to jiffies
206 * where jiffies is defined in nanoseconds as NSEC_PER_JIFFIE. The
207 * simple math is: jiff = (sec * NSEC_PER_SEC) / NSEC_PER_JIFFIE; We
208 * observe that (NSEC_PER_SEC / NSEC_PER_JIFFIE) is a constant which we
209 * might calculate at compile time, however, the result will only have
210 * about 3-4 bits of precision (less for smaller values of HZ).
212 * So, we scale as follows:
213 * jiff = (sec) * (NSEC_PER_SEC / NSEC_PER_JIFFIE);
214 * jiff = ((sec) * ((NSEC_PER_SEC * SCALE)/ NSEC_PER_JIFFIE)) / SCALE;
215 * Then we make SCALE a power of two so:
216 * jiff = ((sec) * ((NSEC_PER_SEC << SCALE)/ NSEC_PER_JIFFIE)) >> SCALE;
217 * Now we define:
218 * #define SEC_CONV = ((NSEC_PER_SEC << SCALE)/ NSEC_PER_JIFFIE))
219 * jiff = (sec * SEC_CONV) >> SCALE;
221 * Often the math we use will expand beyond 32-bits so we tell C how to
222 * do this and pass the 64-bit result of the mpy through the ">> SCALE"
223 * which should take the result back to 32-bits. We want this expansion
224 * to capture as much precision as possible. At the same time we don't
225 * want to overflow so we pick the SCALE to avoid this. In this file,
226 * that means using a different scale for each range of HZ values (as
227 * defined in timex.h).
229 * For those who want to know, gcc will give a 64-bit result from a "*"
230 * operator if the result is a long long AND at least one of the
231 * operands is cast to long long (usually just prior to the "*" so as
232 * not to confuse it into thinking it really has a 64-bit operand,
233 * which, buy the way, it can do, but it takes more code and at least 2
234 * mpys).
236 * We also need to be aware that one second in nanoseconds is only a
237 * couple of bits away from overflowing a 32-bit word, so we MUST use
238 * 64-bits to get the full range time in nanoseconds.
243 * Here are the scales we will use. One for seconds, nanoseconds and
244 * microseconds.
246 * Within the limits of cpp we do a rough cut at the SEC_JIFFIE_SC and
247 * check if the sign bit is set. If not, we bump the shift count by 1.
248 * (Gets an extra bit of precision where we can use it.)
249 * We know it is set for HZ = 1024 and HZ = 100 not for 1000.
250 * Haven't tested others.
252 * Limits of cpp (for #if expressions) only long (no long long), but
253 * then we only need the most signicant bit.
