When writing drivers, you cannot in general use routines which are

from the C Library. Some of the functions have been found generally

may vary slightly from those defined by ANSI, and these deviations

<title>Clock Framework</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The clock framework defines programming interfaces to support
|
|
software management of the system clock tree.
|
|
This framework is widely used with System-On-Chip (SOC) platforms
|
|
to support power management and various devices which may need
|
|
custom clock rates.
|
|
Note that these "clocks" don't relate to timekeeping or real
|
|
time clocks (RTCs), each of which have separate frameworks.
|
|
These <structname>struct clk</structname> instances may be used
|
|
to manage for example a 96 MHz signal that is used to shift bits
|
|
into and out of peripherals or busses, or otherwise trigger
|
|
synchronous state machine transitions in system hardware.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Power management is supported by explicit software clock gating:
|
|
unused clocks are disabled, so the system doesn't waste power
|
|
changing the state of transistors that aren't in active use.
|
|
On some systems this may be backed by hardware clock gating,
|
|
where clocks are gated without being disabled in software.
|
|
Sections of chips that are powered but not clocked may be able
|
|
to retain their last state.
|
|
This low power state is often called a <emphasis>retention
|
|
mode</emphasis>.
|
|
This mode still incurs leakage currents, especially with finer
|
|
circuit geometries, but for CMOS circuits power is mostly used
|
|
by clocked state changes.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Power-aware drivers only enable their clocks when the device
|
|
they manage is in active use. Also, system sleep states often
|
|
differ according to which clock domains are active: while a
|
|
"standby" state may allow wakeup from several active domains, a
|
|
"mem" (suspend-to-RAM) state may require a more wholesale shutdown
|
|
of clocks derived from higher speed PLLs and oscillators, limiting
|
|
the number of possible wakeup event sources. A driver's suspend
|
|
method may need to be aware of system-specific clock constraints
|
|
on the target sleep state.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Some platforms support programmable clock generators. These
|
|
can be used by external chips of various kinds, such as other
|
|
CPUs, multimedia codecs, and devices with strict requirements
|
|
for interface clocking.
