Subject: [patch 2.6.26] /dev/hpet - fixes and cleanup

From: David Brownell <dbrownell@...rs.sourceforge.net>

Minor /dev/hpet updates and bugfixes:

  * Remove dead code, mostly remnants of an incomplete/unusable
    kernel interface ... noted when addressing "sparse" warnings:
      + hpet_unregister() and a routine it calls
      + hpet_task and all references, including hpet_task_lock
      + hpet_data.hd_flags (and HPET_DATA_PLATFORM)

  * Correct and improve boot message:
      + displays *counter* (shared between comparators) bitwidth,
        not *timer* bitwidths (which are often mixed)
      + relabel "timers" as "comparators"; this is less confusing,
        they are not independent like normal timers are (sigh)
      + display MHz not Hz; it's never less than 10 MHz.

  * Tighten and correct the userspace interface code
      + don't accidentally program comparators in 64-bit mode using
        32-bit values ... always force comparators into 32-bit mode
      + only open comparators that have an interrupt, and can thus
        perform "real work"
      + provide the correct bit definition flagging comparators with
        periodic capability ... the ABI is unchanged

  * Update Documentation/hpet.txt
      + be more correct and current
      + expand description a bit
      + don't mention that now-gone kernel interface

Plus, add a FIXME comment for something that could cause big trouble
on systems with more capable HPETs than at least Intel seems to ship. 

I get the feeling few folk use this userspace interface, else those
nonfunctional IRQs would be causing more trouble.

I CC'd everyone who MAINTAINERS says maintains HPET.  Odd to have
four entries!!

And re that kernel interface:  IMO, worth having a relatively
generic interface for hardware timers instead of inventing a new
interface for each new bit of hardware.  Embedded systems tend to
have at least half a dozen SOC timers available...

 		High Precision Event Timer Driver for Linux
 
-The High Precision Event Timer (HPET) hardware is the future replacement
-for the 8254 and Real Time Clock (RTC) periodic timer functionality.
-Each HPET can have up to 32 timers.  It is possible to configure the
-first two timers as legacy replacements for 8254 and RTC periodic timers.
-A specification done by Intel and Microsoft can be found at
-<http://www.intel.com/technology/architecture/hpetspec.htm>.
+The High Precision Event Timer (HPET) hardware follows a specification
+by Intel and Microsoft which can be found at
+
+	http://www.intel.com/technology/architecture/hpetspec.htm
+
+Each HPET has one fixed-rate counter (at 10+ MHz, hence "High Precision")
+and up to 32 comparators.  Normally three or more comparators are provided,
+each of which can generate oneshot interupts and at least one of which has
+additional hardware to support periodic interrupts.  The comparators are
+also called "timers", which can be misleading since usually timers are
+independent of each other ... these share a counter, complicating resets.
+
+HPET devices can support two interrupt routing modes.  In one mode, the
+comparators are additional interrupt sources with no particular system
+role.  Many x86 BIOS writers don't route HPET interrupts at all, which
+prevents use of that mode.  They support the other "legacy replacement"
+mode where the first two comparators block interrupts from 8254 timers
+and from the RTC.
 
 The driver supports detection of HPET driver allocation and initialization
 of the HPET before the driver module_init routine is called.  This enables
 platform code which uses timer 0 or 1 as the main timer to intercept HPET
 initialization.  An example of this initialization can be found in
-arch/i386/kernel/time_hpet.c.
+arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c.
 
-The driver provides two APIs which are very similar to the API found in
-the rtc.c driver.  There is a user space API and a kernel space API.
-An example user space program is provided below.
+The driver provides a userspace API which resembles the API found in the
+RTC driver framework.  An example user space program is provided below.

-The kernel API has three interfaces exported from the driver:
-
-	hpet_register(struct hpet_task *tp, int periodic)
-	hpet_unregister(struct hpet_task *tp)
-	hpet_control(struct hpet_task *tp, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
-
-The kernel module using this interface fills in the ht_func and ht_data
-members of the hpet_task structure before calling hpet_register.
-hpet_control simply vectors to the hpet_ioctl routine and has the same
-commands and respective arguments as the user API.  hpet_unregister
-is used to terminate usage of the HPET timer reserved by hpet_register.
