14 * The ptimer API implements a simple periodic countdown timer.
15 * The countdown timer has a value (which can be read and written via
16 * ptimer_get_count() and ptimer_set_count()). When it is enabled
17 * using ptimer_run(), the value will count downwards at the frequency
18 * which has been configured using ptimer_set_period() or ptimer_set_freq().
19 * When it reaches zero it will trigger a callback function, and
20 * can be set to either reload itself from a specified limit value
21 * and keep counting down, or to stop (as a one-shot timer).
23 * A transaction-based API is used for modifying ptimer state: all calls
24 * to functions which modify ptimer state must be between matched calls to
25 * ptimer_transaction_begin() and ptimer_transaction_commit().
26 * When ptimer_transaction_commit() is called it will evaluate the state
27 * of the timer after all the changes in the transaction, and call the
28 * callback if necessary. (See the ptimer_init() documentation for the full
29 * list of state-modifying functions and detailed semantics of the callback.)
31 * Forgetting to set the period/frequency (or setting it to zero) is a
32 * bug in the QEMU device and will cause warning messages to be printed
33 * to stderr when the guest attempts to enable the timer.
37 * The 'legacy' ptimer policy retains backward compatibility with the
38 * traditional ptimer behaviour from before policy flags were introduced.
39 * It has several weird behaviours which don't match typical hardware
40 * timer behaviour. For a new device using ptimers, you should not
41 * use PTIMER_POLICY_LEGACY, but instead check the actual behaviour
42 * that you need and specify the right set of policy flags to get that.
44 * If you are overhauling an existing device that uses PTIMER_POLICY_LEGACY
45 * and are in a position to check or test the real hardware behaviour,
46 * consider updating it to specify the right policy flags.
48 * The rough edges of the default policy:
49 * - Starting to run with a period = 0 emits error message and stops the
50 * timer without a trigger.
52 * - Setting period to 0 of the running timer emits error message and
53 * stops the timer without a trigger.
55 * - Starting to run with counter = 0 or setting it to "0" while timer
56 * is running causes a trigger and reloads counter with a limit value.
57 * If limit = 0, ptimer emits error message and stops the timer.
59 * - Counter value of the running timer is one less than the actual value.
61 * - Changing period/frequency of the running timer loses time elapsed
62 * since the last period, effectively restarting the timer with a
63 * counter = counter value at the moment of change (.i.e. one less).

106 * The ptimer returned must be freed using ptimer_free().

119 * is called it will evaluate the state of the timer after all the
120 * changes in the transaction, and call the callback if necessary.

143 * This function must be called before making any calls to functions
144 * which modify the ptimer's state (see the ptimer_init() documentation
145 * for a list of these), and must always have a matched call to

153 * ptimer_transaction_commit() - Commit a ptimer modification transaction
155 * This function must be called after calls to functions which modify

157 * ptimer state now means that we should trigger the timer expiry
158 * callback, it will be called directly.

168 * particular frequency rather than a period then ptimer_set_freq()

182 * If the ptimer is being driven from a Clock, this is the preferred

184 * possible rounding errors that might happen if the internal
185 * representation of the Clock period was converted to either a period
186 * in ns or a frequency in Hz.
188 * If the ptimer should run at the same frequency as the clock,
189 * pass 1 as the @divisor; if the ptimer should run at half the

203 * This does the same thing as ptimer_set_period(), so you only
204 * need to call one of them. If the counter behaviour is specified
205 * as setting the frequency then this function is more appropriate,
206 * because it allows specifying an effective period which is

219 * of the down-counter; that is, the value which it will be
220 * reset to when it hits zero.
222 * Generally timer devices using ptimers should be able to keep

273 * Start a ptimer counting down; when it reaches zero the callback function
274 * passed to ptimer_init() will be invoked.

276 * the counter value will then be reloaded from the limit and it will
277 * start counting down again. If @oneshot is non-zero, then the counter
