Data Fields
cycle_t(*	read )(const struct cyclecounter *cc)
cycle_t	mask
u32	mult
u32	shift

Detailed Description

struct cyclecounter - hardware abstraction for a free running counter Provides completely state-free accessors to the underlying hardware. Depending on which hardware it reads, the cycle counter may wrap around quickly. Locking rules (if necessary) have to be defined by the implementor and user of specific instances of this API.

: returns the current cycle value : bitmask for two's complement subtraction of non 64 bit counters, see CLOCKSOURCE_MASK() helper macro : cycle to nanosecond multiplier : cycle to nanosecond divisor (power of two)
