Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

Real Time Clock Driver for Linux
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
All PCs (even Alpha machines) have a Real Time Clock built into them.
|
||||
Usually they are built into the chipset of the computer, but some may
|
||||
actually have a Motorola MC146818 (or clone) on the board. This is the
|
||||
clock that keeps the date and time while your computer is turned off.
|
||||
|
||||
However it can also be used to generate signals from a slow 2Hz to a
|
||||
relatively fast 8192Hz, in increments of powers of two. These signals
|
||||
are reported by interrupt number 8. (Oh! So *that* is what IRQ 8 is
|
||||
for...) It can also function as a 24hr alarm, raising IRQ 8 when the
|
||||
alarm goes off. The alarm can also be programmed to only check any
|
||||
subset of the three programmable values, meaning that it could be set to
|
||||
ring on the 30th second of the 30th minute of every hour, for example.
|
||||
The clock can also be set to generate an interrupt upon every clock
|
||||
update, thus generating a 1Hz signal.
|
||||
|
||||
The interrupts are reported via /dev/rtc (major 10, minor 135, read only
|
||||
character device) in the form of an unsigned long. The low byte contains
|
||||
the type of interrupt (update-done, alarm-rang, or periodic) that was
|
||||
raised, and the remaining bytes contain the number of interrupts since
|
||||
the last read. Status information is reported through the pseudo-file
|
||||
/proc/driver/rtc if the /proc filesystem was enabled. The driver has
|
||||
built in locking so that only one process is allowed to have the /dev/rtc
|
||||
interface open at a time.
|
||||
|
||||
A user process can monitor these interrupts by doing a read(2) or a
|
||||
select(2) on /dev/rtc -- either will block/stop the user process until
|
||||
the next interrupt is received. This is useful for things like
|
||||
reasonably high frequency data acquisition where one doesn't want to
|
||||
burn up 100% CPU by polling gettimeofday etc. etc.
|
||||
|
||||
At high frequencies, or under high loads, the user process should check
|
||||
the number of interrupts received since the last read to determine if
|
||||
there has been any interrupt "pileup" so to speak. Just for reference, a
|
||||
typical 486-33 running a tight read loop on /dev/rtc will start to suffer
|
||||
occasional interrupt pileup (i.e. > 1 IRQ event since last read) for
|
||||
frequencies above 1024Hz. So you really should check the high bytes
|
||||
of the value you read, especially at frequencies above that of the
|
||||
normal timer interrupt, which is 100Hz.
|
||||
|
||||
Programming and/or enabling interrupt frequencies greater than 64Hz is
|
||||
only allowed by root. This is perhaps a bit conservative, but we don't want
|
||||
an evil user generating lots of IRQs on a slow 386sx-16, where it might have
|
||||
a negative impact on performance. Note that the interrupt handler is only
|
||||
a few lines of code to minimize any possibility of this effect.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, if the kernel time is synchronized with an external source, the
|
||||
kernel will write the time back to the CMOS clock every 11 minutes. In
|
||||
the process of doing this, the kernel briefly turns off RTC periodic
|
||||
interrupts, so be aware of this if you are doing serious work. If you
|
||||
don't synchronize the kernel time with an external source (via ntp or
|
||||
whatever) then the kernel will keep its hands off the RTC, allowing you
|
||||
exclusive access to the device for your applications.
|
||||
|
||||
The alarm and/or interrupt frequency are programmed into the RTC via
|
||||
various ioctl(2) calls as listed in ./include/linux/rtc.h
|
||||
Rather than write 50 pages describing the ioctl() and so on, it is
|
||||
perhaps more useful to include a small test program that demonstrates
|
||||
how to use them, and demonstrates the features of the driver. This is
|
||||
probably a lot more useful to people interested in writing applications
|
||||
that will be using this driver.
