2 * sched_clock for unstable cpu clocks
4 * Copyright (C) 2008 Red Hat, Inc., Peter Zijlstra <pzijlstr@redhat.com>
6 * Updates and enhancements:
7 * Copyright (C) 2008 Red Hat, Inc. Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
9 * Based on code by:
10 * Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
11 * Guillaume Chazarain <guichaz@gmail.com>
14 * What:
16 * cpu_clock(i) provides a fast (execution time) high resolution
17 * clock with bounded drift between CPUs. The value of cpu_clock(i)
18 * is monotonic for constant i. The timestamp returned is in nanoseconds.
20 * ######################### BIG FAT WARNING ##########################
21 * # when comparing cpu_clock(i) to cpu_clock(j) for i != j, time can #
22 * # go backwards !! #
23 * ####################################################################
25 * There is no strict promise about the base, although it tends to start
26 * at 0 on boot (but people really shouldn't rely on that).
28 * cpu_clock(i) -- can be used from any context, including NMI.
29 * sched_clock_cpu(i) -- must be used with local IRQs disabled (implied by NMI)
30 * local_clock() -- is cpu_clock() on the current cpu.
32 * How:
34 * The implementation either uses sched_clock() when
35 * !CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK, which means in that case the
36 * sched_clock() is assumed to provide these properties (mostly it means
37 * the architecture provides a globally synchronized highres time source).
39 * Otherwise it tries to create a semi stable clock from a mixture of other
40 * clocks, including:
42 * - GTOD (clock monotomic)
43 * - sched_clock()
44 * - explicit idle events
46 * We use GTOD as base and use sched_clock() deltas to improve resolution. The
47 * deltas are filtered to provide monotonicity and keeping it within an
48 * expected window.
50 * Furthermore, explicit sleep and wakeup hooks allow us to account for time
51 * that is otherwise invisible (TSC gets stopped).
54 * Notes:
56 * The !IRQ-safetly of sched_clock() and sched_clock_cpu() comes from things
57 * like cpufreq interrupts that can change the base clock (TSC) multiplier
58 * and cause funny jumps in time -- although the filtering provided by
59 * sched_clock_cpu() should mitigate serious artifacts we cannot rely on it
60 * in general since for !CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK we fully rely on
61 * sched_clock().
