Subject: [PATCH] nomadik: prevent sched_clock() wraparound v4
Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2010 09:04:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1290067462-26924-1-git-send-email-linus.walleij@stericsson.com> (raw)

The current implementation of sched_clock() for the Nomadik
family is based on the clock source that will wrap around without
any compensation. Currently on the Ux500 after 1030 seconds.

Utilize cnt32_to_63 to expand the sched_clock() counter to 63
bits and introduce a keepwarm() timer to assure that sched clock
and this cnt32_to_63 is called atleast once every half period.

When I print out the actual wrap-around time, and using
a year (3600*24*365 seconds) as minumum wrap limit I get an
actual wrap-around of:
sched_clock: using 55 bits @ 8333125 Hz wrap in 416 days

Version 4, fixed error found by Rabin:

- Make sure sched_mult is even, multiplying out the invalid
  bit 63 like Orion does, and loose the &= removing bit 63
- Calculate and print the number of days until the counter wraps
  around properly, we now get 416 days which is in the expected
  range when we request a minumum of 365 days.
