31 | * cnt32_to_63 - Expand a 32-bit counter to a 63-bit counter |
32 | * @cnt_lo: The low part of the counter |
33 | * |
34 | * Many hardware clock counters are only 32 bits wide and therefore have |
35 | * a relatively short period making wrap-arounds rather frequent. This |
36 | * is a problem when implementing sched_clock() for example, where a 64-bit |
37 | * non-wrapping monotonic value is expected to be returned. |
38 | * |
39 | * To overcome that limitation, let's extend a 32-bit counter to 63 bits |
40 | * in a completely lock free fashion. Bits 0 to 31 of the clock are provided |
41 | * by the hardware while bits 32 to 62 are stored in memory. The top bit in |
42 | * memory is used to synchronize with the hardware clock half-period. When |
43 | * the top bit of both counters (hardware and in memory) differ then the |
44 | * memory is updated with a new value, incrementing it when the hardware |
45 | * counter wraps around. |
46 | * |
47 | * Because a word store in memory is atomic then the incremented value will |
48 | * always be in synch with the top bit indicating to any potential concurrent |
49 | * reader if the value in memory is up to date or not with regards to the |
50 | * needed increment. And any race in updating the value in memory is harmless |
51 | * as the same value would simply be stored more than once. |
52 | * |
53 | * The restrictions for the algorithm to work properly are: |
54 | * |
55 | * 1) this code must be called at least once per each half period of the |
56 | * 32-bit counter; |
57 | * |
58 | * 2) this code must not be preempted for a duration longer than the |
59 | * 32-bit counter half period minus the longest period between two |
60 | * calls to this code; |
61 | * |
62 | * Those requirements ensure proper update to the state bit in memory. |
63 | * This is usually not a problem in practice, but if it is then a kernel |
64 | * timer should be scheduled to manage for this code to be executed often |
65 | * enough. |
66 | * |
67 | * And finally: |
68 | * |
69 | * 3) the cnt_lo argument must be seen as a globally incrementing value, |
70 | * meaning that it should be a direct reference to the counter data which |
71 | * can be evaluated according to a specific ordering within the macro, |
72 | * and not the result of a previous evaluation stored in a variable. |
73 | * |
74 | * For example, this is wrong: |
75 | * |
76 | * u32 partial = get_hw_count(); |
77 | * u64 full = cnt32_to_63(partial); |
78 | * return full; |
79 | * |
80 | * This is fine: |
81 | * |
82 | * u64 full = cnt32_to_63(get_hw_count()); |
83 | * return full; |
84 | * |
85 | * Note that the top bit (bit 63) in the returned value should be considered |
86 | * as garbage. It is not cleared here because callers are likely to use a |
87 | * multiplier on the returned value which can get rid of the top bit |
88 | * implicitly by making the multiplier even, therefore saving on a runtime |
89 | * clear-bit instruction. Otherwise caller must remember to clear the top |
90 | * bit explicitly. |
