i386/x86_64: move headers to include/asm-x86

i386: move PIT function declarations and constants to correct header file

2007-07-22T01:37:14+00:00

setup_pit_timer is declared in asm-i386/timer.h. Move it to the pit header file, so it can be used by x86_64 as well. Move also the PIT constants. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: john stultz Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

NTP: move the cmos update code into ntp.c

2007-07-22T00:49:15+00:00

i386 and sparc64 have the identical code to update the cmos clock. Move it into kernel/time/ntp.c as there are other architectures coming along with the same requirements.

Add a sched_clock paravirt_op

2007-07-18T15:47:42+00:00

The tsc-based get_scheduled_cycles interface is not a good match for Xen's runstate accounting, which reports everything in nanoseconds. This patch replaces this interface with a sched_clock interface, which matches both Xen and VMI's requirements. In order to do this, we: 1. replace get_scheduled_cycles with sched_clock 2. hoist cycles_2_ns into a common header 3. update vmi accordingly One thing to note: because sched_clock is implemented as a weak function in kernel/sched.c, we must define a real function in order to override this weak binding. This means the usual paravirt_ops technique of using an inline function won't work in this case. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Cc: Zachary Amsden Cc: Dan Hecht Cc: john stultz

[PATCH] i386: pit_latch_buggy has no effect

2007-05-02T17:27:05+00:00

Eliminated the arch/i386/kernel/timers in 2.6.18, use clocksoures instead. pit_latch_buggy was referred in timers/timer_tsc.c, and currently removed. Therefore nobody refer it. Until 2.6.17, MediaGX's TSC works correctly. after 2.6.18, warned "TSC appears to be running slowly. Marking it as unstable". So marked unstable TSC when CS55x0.

[PATCH] vmi: cpu cycles fix

2007-03-05T15:57:52+00:00

In order to share the common code in tsc.c which does CPU Khz calibration, we need to make an accurate value of CPU speed available to the tsc.c code. This value loses a lot of precision in a VM because of the timing differences with real hardware, but we need it to be as precise as possible so the guest can make accurate time calculations with the cycle counters.

[PATCH] vmi: sched clock paravirt op fix

2007-03-05T15:57:52+00:00

The custom_sched_clock hook is broken. The result from sched_clock needs to be in nanoseconds, not in CPU cycles. The TSC is insufficient for this purpose, because TSC is poorly defined in a virtual environment, and mostly represents real world time instead of scheduled process time (which can be interrupted without notice when a virtual machine is descheduled). To make the scheduler consistent, we must expose a different nature of time, that is scheduled time. So deprecate this custom_sched_clock hack and turn it into a paravirt-op, as it should have been all along. This allows the tsc.c code which converts cycles to nanoseconds to be shared by all paravirt-ops backends. It is unfortunate to add a new paravirt-op, but this is a very distinct abstraction which is clearly different for all virtual machine implementations, and it gets rid of an ugly indirect function which I ashamedly admit I hacked in to try to get this to work earlier, and then even got in the wrong units.

[PATCH] i386: vMI timer patches

2007-02-13T12:26:21+00:00

VMI timer code. It works by taking over the local APIC clock when APIC is configured, which requires a couple hooks into the APIC code. The backend timer code could be commonized into the timer infrastructure, but there are some pieces missing (stolen time, in particular), and the exact semantics of when to do accounting for NO_IDLE need to be shared between different hypervisors as well. So for now, VMI timer is a separate module.

[PATCH] Time: i386 Conversion - part 3: Enable Generic Timekeeping

2006-06-26T16:58:21+00:00

This converts the i386 arch to use the generic timeofday subsystem. It enabled the GENERIC_TIME option, disables the timer_opts code and other arch specific timekeeping code and reworks the delay code. While this patch enables the generic timekeeping, please note that this patch does not provide any i386 clocksource. Thus only the jiffies clocksource will be available. To get full replacements for the code being disabled here, the timeofday-clocks-i386 patch will needed. Signed-off-by: John Stultz Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
