/* 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) * * The function do_clocktick() is triggered by the clock's interrupt * handler when a watchdog timer has expired or a process must be scheduled. * * 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. * The watchdog functions of expired timers are executed in do_clocktick(). * 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. */ #include "kernel.h" #include "proc.h" #include #include #include /* Function prototype for PRIVATE functions. */ FORWARD _PROTOTYPE( void init_clock, (void) ); FORWARD _PROTOTYPE( int clock_handler, (irq_hook_t *hook) ); FORWARD _PROTOTYPE( void do_clocktick, (message *m_ptr) ); FORWARD _PROTOTYPE( void load_update, (void)); /* The CLOCK's timers queue.
