IA-PC HPET IA-PC HPET (High Precision Event Timer) is a specification which was jointly developed by Intel and Microsoft in the early part of this decade.. (High Precision Event Timer) ir specifikācijas, kas tika kopīgi izstrādāts ar Intel un Microsoft, kas ir agrīnā daļa no šīs desmitgades .. The latest version is dated October 2004. Jaunākā versija ir datēta oktobris 2004. It's stated purpose is to Tā norādīja, mērķis ir
initially supplement and eventually replace the legacy 8254 Programmable Interval Timer and the Real Time Clock Periodic Interrupt generation functions that are currently used as the 'de-facto' timer hardware for IA-PCs. Sākotnēji papildināt un aizvietos līdzšinējo 8254 Programmējams intervāls Taimeris un Real Time Clock Periodiski Interrupt ražošanas funkcijas, ko pašlaik izmanto kā "de-facto" taimeris datortehnikas IA-datoriem.
The HPET HPET architecture defines a set of timers that can be used by the operating system. arhitektūra nosaka kopumu, taimeri, ko var izmantot operētājsistēmu. A timer block is a combination of a single counter and up to 32 comparators and match registers. Taimeris bloks ir viena counter kombinācija, un līdz 32 salīdzināmie un spēles reģistriem. The comparator compares the contents of the match register against the value of a free running monotonic up-counter. Salīdzinājuma salīdzina saturu spēles reģistru pret vērtību bez gaitas monotonai up-counter. When the output of the up-counter equals the value in the match register an interrupt is generated. Ja līdz ārpusbiržas skaits sakrīt ar vērtību spēles reģistrā pārtraukt tiek ģenerēts. Each of the comparators can output an interrupt. Katra salīdzinājuma var izvadīt pārtraukt. A maximum of 8 timer blocks are supported for a total of 256 timers. Gada 8 Taimeris bloki maksimāli tiek atbalstīti par kopējo summu 256 taimeri. Each timer block can have different clocking attributes. Katrs taimeris bloks var būt dažādas clocking atribūtus. Specific implementations may include only a subset of these timers. Īpašos implementācijas var ietvert tikai apakškopu šo taimeri. A minimum of three timers is required. Trīs taimerus minimums ir nepieciešams.
The specification contains the following block diagram of the HPET architecture. Specifikācijas ir šādas blokshēma no HPET arhitektūru.
Some of the timers may be enabled to generate a periodic interrupt. Daži taimeri, var ļāva radīt periodiski pārtraukt. If a timer is set to be periodic, its period is added to the match register each time a match occurs, thus computing the next time for this timer to generate an interrupt.. Ja taimeris ir iestatīts uz periodiskus, tā periods ir pievienots spēles reģistrēt katru reizi, kad spēles notiek, tādējādi skaitļošanas nākamajā reizē šo taimeri, lai radītu pārtraukt .. An up-counter is usually 64 bits wide but 32-bit implementations are permitted by the specification and 64-bit up-counters can also be driven in 32-bit mode. Up-counter parasti ir 64 biti mērogā, bet 32-bitu ieviešanām atļautas specifikācija un 64-bitu augšu skaitītāju var darbināt 32 bitu režīmā. Up-counters run at a minimum of 10 MHz. Up-letes darbināts vismaz 10 MHz. which is much faster than the older kas ir daudz ātrāk nekā vecāki RTC RTC (Real Time Clock) and can thus produce periodic interrupts at a much higher resolution. (Real Time Clock), un tādējādi var radīt periodiskas pārtrauc pie daudz augstāka izšķirtspēja. The registers associated with these timers are mapped to memory space. Reģistri, kas saistīti ar šiem taimeri tiek plānots atmiņas vietas.
The BIOS uses BIOS izmanto ACPI ACPI ( Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) functionality to inform the operating system of the location of the HPET memory-mapped register space. (Uzlabotā konfigurācijas un barošanas saskarne) funkcionalitāti, lai informētu operētājsistēmas atrašanās HPET atmiņas kartē reģistrs telpā. Here is an example of a disassembled ACPI HPET table from an Intel DX48BT2 (AKA BoneTrail) motherboard. Šeit ir piemērs izjauktas ACPI HPET galds no Intel DX48BT2 (AKA BoneTrail) mātesplati.

Skatīt 30 HPET v1.0a specifikācijā detalizētu atsevišķu bitu Event Time Block (turpmāk Aparatūra Block ar AML disassember). Note that only one Event Timer Block need be described in the HPET table in order to bootstrap an operating system. Ņemiet vērā, ka tikai viens Event Timer bloks ir nepieciešams aprakstīt HPET tabulā, lai sāknēšanas operētājsistēmu. This is the case here. Tas ir šajā gadījumā. For non-legacy platforms, the Event Timer Block described in the HPET is the one that provides functionality to replace the 8254/RTC Periodic Interrupt Logic. Kas nav mantojums platformas, Event Timer Block aprakstīts HPET ir viens, kas nodrošina funkcionalitāti, lai aizstātu 8254/RTC Periodiski Pārtraukums Logic.
Other Event Time Blocks are described in the ACPI namespace. Citi Pasākuma laiks bloki ir aprakstīti ACPI namespace. Here is the relevant section from the disassembled ACPI DSDT table. Šeit ir attiecīgajā sadaļā no izjauktā ACPI DSDT tabulā.

The first line is outputted when the ACPI HPET table is read. Pirmā līnija ir outputted kad ACPI HPET tabula ir jālasa. The second line is outputted when the ACPI HPET table is mapped into memory by …/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c . Otrajā līnijā tiek outputted kad ACPI HPET tabula ir samērot atmiņā līdz ... / arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c. The next line is outputted when the HPET legacy interrupts are started and HPET is registered as the global clock. Nākamais līnija ir outputted kad HPET mantojums pārtrauc tiek uzsākta un HPET ir reģistrēts kā pasaules pulksteni. The following line is outputted when the kernel checks to ensure that at least one timer is reserved for userspace ( /dev/hpet .) The next two lines of output comes from the HPET device driver ( …/drivers/char/hpet.c .) It shows that 2 timers have allocated interrupts and two do not.. Šādu rindu outputted kad kodola pārbaudes, lai nodrošinātu, ka vismaz viens taimeris tiek rezervēta userspace (/ dev / hpet.) Nākamo divu līnijas produkcijas nāk no HPET ierīces draiveris (... / vadītāju / char / hpet.c. ) Tas parāda, ka 2 taimerus ir piešķirti pārtrauc, un divi ne ..

The HPET driver ( /dev/hpet ) has a similar API to the Real Time Clock driver. HPET vadītājs (/ dev / hpet) ir līdzīgs API Real Time Pulkstenis vadītāja. It is a character device which can support any number of HPET devices. Tas ir raksturs ierīce, kas var atbalstīt neierobežotu skaitu HPET ierīcēm. The kernel API has three interfaces exported from the driver: Kodols API ir trīs saskarnes eksportēti no vadītāja:
hpet_register( struct hpet_task *tp, int periodic ) hpet_unregister( struct hpet_task *tp ) hpet_control( struct hpet_task *tp, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg )
The userspace interface to HPET is defined in the header /usr/include/linux/hpet.h . Userspace interfeisu HPET ir definēta galvene / usr / ietvert / linux / hpet.h. The current set of supported operations is: Esošajiem Atbalstīto darbību, ir:
#define HPET_IE_ON _IO('h', 0x01) /* interrupt on */
#define HPET_IE_OFF _IO('h', 0x02) /* interrupt off */
#define HPET_INFO _IOR('h', 0x03, struct hpet_info) /* get information */
#define HPET_EPI _IO('h', 0x04) /* enable periodic */
#define HPET_DPI _IO('h', 0x05) /* disable periodic */
#define HPET_IRQFREQ _IOW('h', 0x6, unsigned long) /* set frequency */
The following example shows how to use the published interface to access a HPET and call a simple periodic signal handler hpet_alarm between 2 and 99 times a second. Nākamajā piemērā parādīts, kā izmantot publicēto interfeisu, lai piekļūtu HPET un zvanu vienkārši periodiska signāla noteicēju hpet_alarm no 2 līdz 99 reizes sekundē.

Well, I think that I have provided you with enough information so that you should now be able to go away and experiment with the HPET interface yourself. Nu, es domāju, ka es esam jums pietiekami daudz informācijas, lai jūs tagad var iet prom un ar HPET interfeisu pats eksperiments.
By the way, not all VMware products support HPET. Starp citu, ne visi VMware produktu atbalstu HPET. Currently ESX does not provide a virtual HPET to guest operating systems and in some cases it may be necessary to disable HPET altogether because of timer drift in virtual machines. Pašlaik ESX nesniedz virtuālo HPET uz viesu operētājsistēmām un dažos gadījumos var būt nepieciešams, lai izslēgtu HPET kopā, jo taimeris drift ar virtuālās mašīnas.
