[alsa-devel] [PATCH 2/2] ALSA: hda: support for wallclock timestamps

Pierre-Louis Bossart pierre-louis.bossart at linux.intel.com
Wed Jun 13 22:26:32 CEST 2012


reuse code from clocksource to handle wall clock counter,
translate cycles to timespec. The code wasn't reused as
is as the HDA wall clock is based on 24MHz ticks. To avoid
compounding rounding errors, the counters track cycles
and will convert elapsed cycles to ns, instead of delta cycles
as done in the cyclecounter code.
Since wrapparound occurs, the timestamps are reinitialized with
monotonic time on a trigger.

TODO:
- only re-init timecounter if there was no device active.
- Keep the same timestamp for all devices on same chip.
- make sure no overflow occurs in the 125/3 scaling implementation
