Linux kernel source tree
5a164ac4db
Some drivers have hardware capability to get the precise HW timestamp of certain events based on which the fences are triggered. The delta between the event HW timestamp & current HW reference timestamp can be used to calculate the timestamp in kernel's CLOCK_MONOTONIC time domain. This allows it to set accurate timestamp factoring out any software and IRQ latencies. Add a timestamp variant of fence signal function, dma_fence_signal_timestamp to allow drivers to update the precise timestamp for fences. Changes in v2: - Add a new fence signal variant instead of modifying fence struct Changes in v3: - Add timestamp domain information to commit-text and dma_fence_signal_timestamp documentation Signed-off-by: Veera Sundaram Sankaran <veeras@codeaurora.org> Reviewed-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Sumit Semwal <sumit.semwal@linaro.org> [sumits: minor parenthesis alignment] Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1610757107-11892-1-git-send-email-veeras@codeaurora.org |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
