/**
|
|
* cnt32_to_63 - Expand a 32-bit counter to a 63-bit counter
|
|
* @cnt_lo: The low part of the counter
|
|
*
|
|
* Many hardware clock counters are only 32 bits wide and therefore have
|
|
* a relatively short period making wrap-arounds rather frequent. This
|
|
* is a problem when implementing sched_clock() for example, where a 64-bit
|
|
* non-wrapping monotonic value is expected to be returned.
|
|
*
|
|
* To overcome that limitation, let's extend a 32-bit counter to 63 bits
|
|
* in a completely lock free fashion. Bits 0 to 31 of the clock are provided
|
|
* by the hardware while bits 32 to 62 are stored in memory. The top bit in
|
|
* memory is used to synchronize with the hardware clock half-period. When
|
|
* the top bit of both counters (hardware and in memory) differ then the
|
|
* memory is updated with a new value, incrementing it when the hardware
|
|
* counter wraps around.
|
|
*
|
|
* Because a word store in memory is atomic then the incremented value will
|
|
* always be in synch with the top bit indicating to any potential concurrent
|
|
* reader if the value in memory is up to date or not with regards to the
|
|
* needed increment. And any race in updating the value in memory is harmless
|
|
* as the same value would simply be stored more than once.
|
|
*
|
|
* The only restriction for the algorithm to work properly is that this
|
|
* code must be executed at least once per each half period of the 32-bit
|
|
* counter to properly update the state bit in memory. This is usually not a
|
|
* problem in practice, but if it is then a kernel timer could be scheduled
|
|
* to manage for this code to be executed often enough.
|
|
*
|
|
* Note that the top bit (bit 63) in the returned value should be considered
|
|
* as garbage. It is not cleared here because callers are likely to use a
|
|
* multiplier on the returned value which can get rid of the top bit
|
|
* implicitly by making the multiplier even, therefore saving on a runtime
|
|
* clear-bit instruction. Otherwise caller must remember to clear the top
|
|
* bit explicitly.
