SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ + +============================================ +The Linux Hardware Timestamping Engine (HTE) +============================================ + +:Author: Dipen Patel + +Introduction +------------ + +Certain devices have built in hardware timestamping engines which can +monitor sets of system signals, lines, buses etc... in realtime for state +change; upon detecting the change they can automatically store the timestamp at +the moment of occurrence. Such functionality may help achieve better accuracy +in obtaining timestamps than using software counterparts i.e. ktime and +friends. + +This document describes the API that can be used by hardware timestamping +engine provider and consumer drivers that want to use the hardware timestamping +engine (HTE) framework. Both consumers and providers must include +``#include ``. + +The HTE framework APIs for the providers +---------------------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/hte/hte.c + :functions: devm_hte_register_chip hte_push_ts_ns + +The HTE framework APIs for the consumers +---------------------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/hte/hte.c + :functions: hte_init_line_attr hte_ts_get hte_ts_put devm_hte_request_ts_ns hte_request_ts_ns hte_enable_ts hte_disable_ts of_hte_req_count hte_get_clk_src_info + +The HTE framework public structures +----------------------------------- +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/hte.h + +More on the HTE timestamp data +------------------------------ +The ``struct hte_ts_data`` is used to pass timestamp details between the +consumers and the providers. It expresses timestamp data in nanoseconds in +u64. An example of the typical timestamp data life cycle, for the GPIO line is +as follows:: + + - Monitors GPIO line change. + - Detects the state change on GPIO line. + - Converts timestamps in nanoseconds. + - Stores GPIO raw level in raw_level variable if the provider has that + hardware capability. + - Pushes this hte_ts_data object to HTE subsystem. + - HTE subsystem increments seq counter and invokes consumer provided callback. + Based on callback return value, the HTE core invokes secondary callback in + the thread context. + +HTE subsystem debugfs attributes +-------------------------------- +HTE subsystem creates debugfs attributes at ``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/``. +It also creates line/signal-related debugfs attributes at +``/sys/kernel/debug/hte//
