Milan,
I've also done a clockevent driver for ixp4xx and it looks pretty much
like yours. I've been waiting to submit as Thomas has recently reworked
the clockevent layer a bit in his -hrt-dyntick patchset.
Here are a couple comments on your patchset
- since you've registered the clockevent with CAP_TICK, both the
arch interrupt handler and the clockevent handler are handling the tick
and calling do_timer(). While I don't think this will negatively affect
timekeeping, it's unncessary overhead.
- why the addition of clockevent_hz2mult()? since shift is 32, you
could use existing div_sc32()
The attached patch is a combination of my patch and yours and addresses
my comments above. I simply removed the CLOCK_CAP_TICK and removed your
clockevent_hz2mult() and used div_sc32().
Also, below are a few runs of the nanosleep_jitter test that comes with
the sourceforge HRT test suite. Something strange is that with the
nanosleep_jitter test, I only see max sleeps of ~300-400 usec but with
your test I see max sleeps up to 1.3 msec.
