内核中的高精度定时器

标准的定时器不够精确，不适合对时间精度要求比较高的场景，比如说实时应用。要使用高精度定时器，需要开器配置选项CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMES，定时的精度为微秒，与标准定时器的区别是标准定时器取决于HZ（依赖jiffies），而HRT实现是基于ktime。

基本数据结构

/**
 * struct hrtimer - the basic hrtimer structure
 * @node:	timerqueue node, which also manages node.expires,
 *		the absolute expiry time in the hrtimers internal
 *		representation. The time is related to the clock on
 *		which the timer is based. Is setup by adding
 *		slack to the _softexpires value. For non range timers
 *		identical to _softexpires.
 * @_softexpires: the absolute earliest expiry time of the hrtimer.
 *		The time which was given as expiry time when the timer
 *		was armed.
 * @function:	timer expiry callback function
 * @base:	pointer to the timer base (per cpu and per clock)
 * @state:	state information (See bit values above)
 * @is_rel:	Set if the timer was armed relative
 * @is_soft:	Set if hrtimer will be expired in soft interrupt context.
 *
 * The hrtimer structure must be initialized by hrtimer_init()
 */
struct hrtimer {
   
   
	struct timerqueue_node		node;
	ktime_t				_softexpires;
	enum hrtimer_restart		(*function)(struct hrtimer *);
	struct hrtimer_clock_base	*base;
	u8				state;
	u8				is_rel;
	u8				is_soft;
};

使用步骤
1）初始化hrtimer之前，需要设置ktime，它代表持续时间。

/**
 * hrtimer_init - initialize a timer to the given clock
 * @timer:	the timer to be initialized
 * @clock_id:	the clock to be used
 * @mode:       The modes which are relevant for intitialization:
 *              HRTIMER_MODE_ABS, HRTIMER_MODE_REL, HRTIMER_MODE_ABS_SOFT,
 *              HRTIMER_MODE_REL_SOFT
 *
 *              The PINNED variants of the above can be handed in,
 *              but the PINNED bit is ignored as pinning happens
 *              when the hrtimer is started
 */
void hrtimer_init(struct hrtimer *timer, clockid_t clock_id,
		  enum hrtimer_mode mode)
{
   
   
	debug_init(timer, clock_id, mode);
	__hrtimer_init(timer, clock_id, mode);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(hrtimer_init);

2）启动hrtimer

/**
 * hrtimer_start - (re)start an hrtimer
 * @timer:	the timer to be added
 * @tim:	expiry time
 * @mode:	timer mode: absolute (HRTIMER_MODE_ABS) or
 *		relative (HRTIMER_MODE_REL), and pinned (HRTIMER_MODE_PINNED);
 *		softirq based mode is considered for debug purpose only!
 */
static inline void hrtimer_start(struct hrtimer *timer, ktime_t tim,
				 const enum hrtimer_mode mode)
{
   
   
	hrtimer_start_range_ns(timer, tim, 0, mode);
}

• mode
  代表的是到期模式，对于绝对时间值，它是HRTIMER_MODE_ABS，相对时间HRTIMER_MODE_REL

/*
 * Mode arguments of xxx_hrtimer functions:
 *
 * HRTIMER_MODE_ABS		- Time value is absolute
 * HRTIMER_MODE_REL		- Time value is relative to now
 * HRTIMER_MODE_PINNED		- Timer is bound to CPU (is only considered
 *				  when starting the timer)
 * HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT		- Timer callback function will be executed in
 *				  soft irq context
 */
enum hrtimer_mode {
   
   
	HRTIMER_MODE_ABS	= 0x00,
	HRTIMER_MODE_REL	= 0x01,
	HRTIMER_MODE_PINNED	= 0x02,
	HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT	= 0x04,

	HRTIMER_MODE_ABS_PINNED = HRTIMER_MODE_ABS | HRTIMER_MODE_PINNED,
	HRTIMER_MODE_REL_PINNED = HRTIMER_MODE_REL | HRTIMER_MODE_PINNED,

	HRTIMER_MODE_ABS_SOFT	= HRTIMER_MODE_ABS | HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT,
	HRTIMER_MODE_REL_SOFT	= HRTIMER_MODE_REL | HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT,

	HRTIMER_MODE_ABS_PINNED_SOFT = HRTIMER_MODE_ABS_PINNED | HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT,
	HRTIMER_MODE_REL_PINNED_SOFT = HRTIMER_MODE_REL_PINNED | HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT,

};

3）取消hrtimer，取消定时器或者查看是否可以取消。

/**
 * hrtimer_try_to_cancel - try to deactivate a timer
 * @timer:	hrtimer to stop
 *
 * Returns:
 *  0 when the timer was not active
 *  1 when the timer was active
 * -1 when the timer is currently executing the callback function and
 *    cannot be stopped
