2017-08-01ptp: introduce ptp auxiliary workerGrygorii Strashko
Many PTP drivers required to perform some asynchronous or periodic work, like periodically handling PHC counter overflow or handle delayed timestamp for RX/TX network packets. In most of the cases, such work is implemented using workqueues. Unfortunately, Kernel workqueues might introduce significant delay in work scheduling under high system load and on -RT, which could cause misbehavior of PTP drivers due to internal counter overflow, for example, and there is no way to tune its execution policy and priority manuallly. Hence, The kthread_worker can be used insted of workqueues, as it create separte named kthread for each worker and its its execution policy and priority can be configured using chrt tool. This prblem was reported for two drivers TI CPSW CPTS and dp83640, so instead of modifying each of these driver it was proposed to add PTP auxiliary worker to the PHC subsystem. The patch adds PTP auxiliary worker in PHC subsystem using kthread_worker and kthread_delayed_work and introduces two new PHC subsystem APIs: - long (*do_aux_work)(struct ptp_clock_info *ptp) callback in ptp_clock_info structure, which driver should assign if it require to perform asynchronous or periodic work. Driver should return the delay of the PTP next auxiliary work scheduling time (>=0) or negative value in case further scheduling is not required. - int ptp_schedule_worker(struct ptp_clock *ptp, unsigned long delay) which allows schedule PTP auxiliary work. The name of kthread_worker thread corresponds PTP PHC device name "ptp%d". Signed-off-by: Grygorii Strashko <grygorii.strashko@ti.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2017-02-17ptp: create "pins" together with the rest of attributesDmitry Torokhov
Let's switch to using device_create_with_groups(), which will allow us to create "pins" attribute group together with the rest of ptp device attributes, and before userspace gets notified about ptp device creation.

2014-03-21ptp: expose the programmable pins via sysfsRichard Cochran
This patch adds the sysfs hooks needed in order to get and set the programmable pin settings. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-03-21ptp: introduce programmable pins.Richard Cochran
This patch adds a pair of new ioctls to the PTP Hardware Clock device interface. Using the ioctls, user space programs can query each pin to find out its current function and also reprogram a different function if desired.

2013-07-26PTP: convert class code to use dev_groupsGreg Kroah-Hartman
The dev_attrs field of struct class is going away soon, dev_groups should be used instead. This converts the ptp class code to use the correct field. Acked-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2012-09-22ptp: remember the adjusted frequencyRichard Cochran
This patch adds a field to the representation of a PTP hardware clock in order to remember the frequency adjustment value dialed by the user. Adding this field will let us answer queries in the manner of adjtimex in a follow on patch. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-05-23ptp: Added a brand new class driver for ptp clocks.Richard Cochran
This patch adds an infrastructure for hardware clocks that implement IEEE 1588, the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). A class driver offers a registration method to particular hardware clock drivers. Each clock is presented as a standard POSIX clock. The ancillary clock features are exposed in two different ways, via the sysfs and by a character device.
