pps: claim parallel port exclusively

2011-01-26T00:50:00Z

Both pps_parport and pps_gen_parport are written in a way that they can't share a port with any other driver. This can result in locking up the process that loads modules or even the whole kernel if the modules are compiled in. Use PARPORT_FLAG_EXCL to indicate this.

pps: add parallel port PPS client

2011-01-13T16:03:21Z

Add parallel port PPS client. It uses a standard method for capturing timestamps for assert edge transitions: getting a timestamp soon after an interrupt has happened. This is not a very precise source of time information due to interrupt handling delays. However, timestamps for clear edge transitions are much more precise because the interrupt handler continuously polls hardware port until the transition is done. Hardware port operations require only about 1us so the maximum error should not exceed this value. This was my primary goal when developing this client. Clear edge capture could be disabled using clear_wait parameter. Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev Acked-by: Rodolfo Giometti Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pps: timestamp is always passed to dcd_change()

2011-01-13T16:03:20Z

Remove the code that gatheres timestamp in pps_tty_dcd_change() in case passed ts parameter is NULL because it never happens in the current code. Fix comments as well. Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev Acked-by: Rodolfo Giometti Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pps: convert printk/pr_* to dev_*

2011-01-13T16:03:19Z

Since we now have direct pointers to struct pps_device everywhere it's easy to use dev_* functions to print messages instead of plain printks. Where dev_* cannot be used printks are converted to pr_*. Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev Acked-by: Rodolfo Giometti Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pps: access pps device by direct pointer

2011-01-13T16:03:19Z

Using device index as a pointer needs some unnecessary work to be done every time the pointer is needed (in irq handler for example). Using a direct pointer is much more easy (and safe as well).

pps: unify timestamp gathering

2011-01-13T16:03:19Z

Add a helper function to gather timestamps. This way clients don't have to duplicate it. Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev Acked-by: Rodolfo Giometti Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pps: serial clients support

2010-03-12T23:52:43Z

Adds support, by using the PPS line discipline, for the PPS sources connected with the CD (Carrier Detect) pin of a serial port.

pps: LinuxPPS clients support

2010-03-12T23:52:43Z

Each PPS source can be registered/deregistered into the system by using special modules called "clients". They simply define the PPS sources' attributes and implement the time signal registration mechanism. This patch adds a special directory for such clients and adds a dummy client that can be useful to test system integrity on real systems.
