* [PATCH 1/7] LinuxPPS core support. 2008-03-06 12:08 LinuxPPS (RESUBMIT 2): the PPS Linux implementation Rodolfo Giometti @ 2008-03-06 12:09 ` Rodolfo Giometti 2008-03-06 12:09 ` [PATCH 2/7] PPS: userland header file for PPS API Rodolfo Giometti ` (4 more replies) 2008-03-19 17:29 ` LinuxPPS (RESUBMIT 2): the PPS Linux implementation john stultz 1 sibling, 5 replies; 35+ messages in thread From: Rodolfo Giometti @ 2008-03-06 12:09 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-kernel Cc: Andrew Morton, David Woodhouse, Dave Jones, Sam Ravnborg, Greg KH, Randy Dunlap, Rodolfo Giometti This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named "LinuxPPS". PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can use it to adjust system clock time. Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC. To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing to these char devices.

See the +GNU General Public License for more details. + + + +Overview +-------- + +LinuxPPS provides a programming interface (API) to define into the +system several PPS sources. + +PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which +provides a high precision signal each second so that an application +can use it to adjust system clock time. + +A PPS source can be connected to a serial port (usually to the Data +Carrier Detect pin) or to a parallel port (ACK-pin) or to a special +CPU's GPIOs (this is the common case in embedded systems) but in each +case when a new pulse comes the system must apply to it a timestamp +and record it for the userland. + +Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a +GPS receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with +sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC. + + +RFC considerations +------------------ + +While implementing a PPS API as RFC 2783 defines and using an embedded +CPU GPIO-Pin as physical link to the signal, I encountered a deeper +problem: + + At startup it needs a file descriptor as argument for the function + time_pps_create(). + +This implies that the source has a /dev/... entry. This assumption is +ok for the serial and parallel port, where you can do something +useful besides(!) the gathering of timestamps as it is the central +task for a PPS-API. But this assumption does not work for a single +purpose GPIO line. In this case even basic file-related functionality +(like read() and write()) makes no sense at all and should not be a +precondition for the use of a PPS-API. + +The problem can be simply solved if you consider that a PPS source is +not always connected with a GPS data source. + +So your programs should check if the GPS data source (the serial port +for instance) is a PPS source too, otherwise they should provide the +possibility to open another device as PPS source. + +In LinuxPPS the PPS sources are simply char devices usually mapped +into files /dev/pps0, /dev/pps1, etc.. + + +Coding example +-------------- + +To register a PPS source into the kernel you should define a struct +pps_source_info_s as follow: + + static struct pps_source_info pps_ktimer_info = { + .name = "ktimer", + .path = "", + .mode = PPS_CAPTUREASSERT | PPS_OFFSETASSERT | \ + PPS_ECHOASSERT | \ + PPS_CANWAIT | PPS_TSFMT_TSPEC, + .echo = pps_ktimer_echo, + .owner = THIS_MODULE, + }; + +and then calling the function pps_register_source() in your +intialization routine as follow: + + source = pps_register_source(&pps_ktimer_info, + PPS_CAPTUREASSERT | PPS_OFFSETASSERT); + +The pps_register_source() prototype is: + + int pps_register_source(struct pps_source_info_s *info, int default_params) + +where "info" is a pointer to a structure that describes a particular +PPS source, "default_params" tells the system what the initial default +parameters for the device should be (is obvious that these parameters +must be a subset of ones defined into the struct +pps_source_info_s which describe the capabilities of the driver). + +Once you have registered a new PPS source into the system you can +signal an assert event (for example in the interrupt handler routine) +just using: + + pps_event(source, PPS_CAPTUREASSERT, ptr); + +The same function may also run the defined echo function +(pps_ktimer_echo(), passing to it the "ptr" pointer) if the user +asked for that... etc.. + +Please see the file drivers/pps/clients/ktimer.c for example code. + + +SYSFS support +------------- + +If the SYSFS filesystem is enabled in the kernel it provides a new class: + + $ ls /sys/class/pps/ + pps0/ pps1/ pps2/ + +Every directory is the ID of a PPS sources defined into the system and +inside you find several files: + + $ ls /sys/class/pps/pps0/ + assert clear echo mode name path subsystem@ uevent + +Inside each "assert" and "clear" file you can find the timestamp and a +sequence number: + + $ cat /sys/class/pps/pps0/assert + 1170026870.983207967#8 + +Where before the "#" is the timestamp in seconds and after it is the +sequence number.

They simply define the PPS sources' attributes and implement the time signal registartion 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.

I realise there's a teeny bit of documentation in pps.txt, but people don't think to look there and it tends to go out of date. It doesn't have to be fancy formal kerneldoc - it's better to add *good* comments which tell people what they need to know.

Is that handled somewhere? I don't understand the problem... this code as been added in order to avoid the case where a pps_event() is called while a process executes the pps_unregister_source(). If more processes try to execute this code the first which enters will execute idr_remove() which prevents another process to reach the wait_event()... is that wrong? =:-o > > > +void pps_event(int source, int event, void *data) > > Please document the API in the kernel source.

It could be acceptable? There should be no need to "wait" for anything. When the final reference to an object is released, that object is cleaned up. Just like we do for inodes, dentries, pages, files, and 100 other kernel objects. The need to wait for something else to go away is a big red flag with "busted refcounting" written on it. > > Also, we need to take care that all processes which were waiting in > > pps_unregister_source() get to finish their cleanup before we permit rmmod > > to proceed.

We should get the reference counting and object lifetimes sorted out first. There should be no "wait for <object> to be released" code. Once that is in place, things like rmmod will also sort themselves out: it just won't be possible to remove the module while there are live references to objects. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 35+ messages in thread

The problem is related to serial and parallel clients. The PPS source related to a serial port (or a parallel one) uses the serial (or parallel) IRQ to get PPS timestamps and it could be possible that a process tries to close the PPS source while another CPU is runnig the serial IRQ, so I cannot remove the PPS object until the IRQ handler is finished its job on the PPS object. For clients (currently none :) which define their own IRQ handler for PPS timestamps managing the problem doesn't arise at all.

This can all be handled with suitable locking and refcounting. The device which is delivering PPS interrupts has a reference on the PPS data structures. If userspace has PPS open then it also has a reference. The thread of control which releases the last reference to the PPS data structures also frees them all up. This may require a schedule_work() if we need to support release-from-interrupt (as it appears that we do), but that's OK - we just need to be able to make the PPS data structures ineligible for new lookups while the schedule_work() is pending. There should be no need for any thread of control to wait for any other thread of control to do anything. Get the refcounting right and everything can be done synchronously. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 35+ messages in thread

So, if I well understand your suggestion, I should manage the object clean-up into pps_cdev_release() when pps->usage reaches 0, so the pps_unregister_source() can do only the following two steps: pps_unregister_cdev(pps); kfree(pps); Is that right? Also, can you please suggest me an example (URL or filename) about schedule_work() usage in case of release-from-interrupt?

It would will let the core handle it for you. The device add uevent to userspace will happen before you added the attributes, which is usually not nice.
