minix/kernel/clock.c

/* This file contains the clock task, which handles time related functions.
 * Important events that are handled by the CLOCK include setting and 
 * monitoring alarm timers and deciding when to (re)schedule processes. 
 * The CLOCK offers a direct interface to kernel processes. System services 
 * can access its services through system calls, such as sys_setalarm(). The
 * CLOCK task thus is hidden from the outside world.  
 *
 * Changes:
 *   Aug 18, 2006   removed direct hardware access etc, MinixPPC (Ingmar Alting)
 *   Oct 08, 2005   reordering and comment editing (A. S. Woodhull)
 *   Mar 18, 2004   clock interface moved to SYSTEM task (Jorrit N. Herder) 
 *   Sep 30, 2004   source code documentation updated  (Jorrit N. Herder)
 *   Sep 24, 2004   redesigned alarm timers  (Jorrit N. Herder)
 *
 * Clock task is notified by the clock's interrupt handler when a timer
 * has expired.
 *
 * In addition to the main clock_task() entry point, which starts the main 
 * loop, there are several other minor entry points:
 *   clock_stop:	called just before MINIX shutdown
 *   get_uptime:	get realtime since boot in clock ticks
 *   set_timer:		set a watchdog timer (+)
 *   reset_timer:	reset a watchdog timer (+)
 *   read_clock:	read the counter of channel 0 of the 8253A timer
 *
 * (+) The CLOCK task keeps tracks of watchdog timers for the entire kernel.
 * It is crucial that watchdog functions not block, or the CLOCK task may
 * be blocked. Do not send() a message when the receiver is not expecting it.
 * Instead, notify(), which always returns, should be used.
