Linux下的hrtimer高精度定时器【转】

转自：http://blog.csdn.net/waverider2012/article/details/38305785

hrtimer高精度定时器的interval由ktime_set(const long secs, const unsigned long nsecs)决定，可做到ns级。此处的例子为5ms interval：

#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/hrtimer.h>
#include <linux/ktime.h>

MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

static struct hrtimer hr_timer;
static struct work_struct wq_hrtimer;
static ktime_t ktime;
static unsigned int interval=5000; /* unit: us */
struct timespec uptimeLast;

static unsigned int count=0;
#define COUNT_INTERVAL 4000
unsigned long long diff_tv(struct timespec start, struct timespec end) {
    return (end.tv_sec-start.tv_sec)*1000000000+(end.tv_nsec-start.tv_nsec);
}

enum hrtimer_restart my_hrtimer_callback( struct hrtimer *timer )
{
    schedule_work(&wq_hrtimer);
    return HRTIMER_NORESTART;
}

static void wq_func_hrtimer(struct work_struct *work)
{
    struct timespec uptime;

    hr_timer.function = my_hrtimer_callback;
    ktime = ktime_set( interval/1000000, (interval%1000000)*1000 );
    hrtimer_start(&hr_timer, ktime, HRTIMER_MODE_REL );

    /* print time every COUNT_INTERVAL*interval second*/
    if(count%COUNT_INTERVAL==0)
    {
        do_posix_clock_monotonic_gettime(&uptime);
        printk(KERN_INFO"hrtimer:%9lu sec, %9lu ns, interval_delay=%lu ns\n",
            (unsigned long) uptime.tv_sec, uptime.tv_nsec,
            (unsigned long)(diff_tv(uptimeLast, uptime)-interval*1000*COUNT_INTERVAL) \
                /COUNT_INTERVAL);
        uptimeLast=uptime;
    }
    count++;
}

static int __init module_hrtimer_init( void )
{
    struct timespec uptime;

    printk(KERN_INFO"HR Timer module installing\n");

    hrtimer_init( &hr_timer, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, HRTIMER_MODE_REL );

    ktime = ktime_set( interval/1000000, (interval%1000000)*1000 );
    hr_timer.function = my_hrtimer_callback;

    hrtimer_start( &hr_timer, ktime, HRTIMER_MODE_REL );

    do_posix_clock_monotonic_gettime(&uptime);
    uptimeLast = uptime;
    printk(KERN_INFO"hrtimer:%9lu sec, %9lu ns\n", (unsigned long) uptime.tv_sec,
                                        uptime.tv_nsec );

    INIT_WORK(&wq_hrtimer, wq_func_hrtimer);
    return 0;
}

static void __exit module_hrtimer_exit( void )
{
    int ret;

    ret = hrtimer_cancel( &hr_timer );
    if (ret)
        printk("The timer was still in use...\n");

    printk("HR Timer module uninstalling\n");
    return;
}

module_init(module_hrtimer_init);
module_exit(module_hrtimer_exit);

 

如果在my_hrtimer_callback()里面直接返回HRTIMER_RESTART会导致立即重新进入my_hrtimer_callback()。这时shell对输入没有任何响应。

所以为了解决这个问题，创建了一个work queue，由my_hrtimer_callback() enqueue这个工作队列。在work queue的处理函数里面重启hrtimer。

但是这样带来的负面影响是进入hrtimer_callback和wq_func被调用之间有Linux系统调度引入的延迟，导致interval出现误差。经过实测，在ZC706缺省配置下，这个延迟大约是17.5us (hrtimer interval为5ms，每20秒计算一次interval误差)。
