From fc804f65d46236c211f530174904c1ed70db5888 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rajvi Jingar Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2018 09:28:36 -0800 Subject: x86/tsc: Convert ART in nanoseconds to TSC Device drivers use get_device_system_crosststamp() to produce precise system/device cross-timestamps. The PHC clock and ALSA interfaces, for example, make the cross-timestamps available to user applications. On Intel platforms, get_device_system_crosststamp() requires a TSC value derived from ART (Always Running Timer) to compute the monotonic raw and realtime system timestamps. Starting with Intel Goldmont platforms, the PCIe root complex supports the PTM time sync protocol. PTM requires all timestamps to be in units of nanoseconds. The Intel root complex hardware propagates system time derived from ART in units of nanoseconds performing the conversion as follows: ART_NS = ART * 1e9 / When user software requests a cross-timestamp, the system timestamps (generally read from device registers) must be converted to TSC by the driver software as follows: TSC = ART_NS * TSC_KHZ / 1e6 This is valid when CPU feature flag X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ is set indicating that tsc_khz is derived from CPUID[15H]. Drivers should check whether this flag is set before conversion to TSC is attempted. Suggested-by: Christopher S.
