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) je špecifikácia, ktorá bola spoločne vyvinutý spoločnosťou Intel a Microsoft na začiatku tohto desaťročia .. The latest version is dated October 2004. Posledná verzia je z októbra 2004. It's stated purpose is to Je to uvádza cieľom je
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. spočiatku doplniť a nakoniec nahradia staršie 8254 Programovateľný Interval Timer a Real Time Clock periodickej prerušenia výroby funkcií, ktoré sú v súčasnosti používa ako 'de-facto' časovač hardvéru pre architektúru IA-PC.
The HPET HPET architecture defines a set of timers that can be used by the operating system. architektúra definuje sadu časovačov, ktoré možno použiť v operačnom systéme. A timer block is a combination of a single counter and up to 32 comparators and match registers. Časovač blok je kombináciou jedného pultu a až 32 komparátory a zápas registrov. The comparator compares the contents of the match register against the value of a free running monotonic up-counter. Komparátor porovnáva obsah registra stretnutie proti hodnote free running monotónna up-pult. When the output of the up-counter equals the value in the match register an interrupt is generated. Pri výstupe do counter-rovná hodnote v zápase registri prerušenie je generované. Each of the comparators can output an interrupt. Každá zo porovnávaných môže výstup prerušiť. A maximum of 8 timer blocks are supported for a total of 256 timers. Maximálne 8 hodín blokov sú podporované pre celkom 256 časovačov. Each timer block can have different clocking attributes. Každý časovač blok môže mať rôzne atribúty stopovanie. Specific implementations may include only a subset of these timers. Konkrétne implementácia môže obsahovať iba podmnožinu týchto časovačov. A minimum of three timers is required. Najmenej tri časovača je potrebné.
The specification contains the following block diagram of the HPET architecture. Špecifikácia obsahuje nasledujúce bloková schéma architektúry HPET.

Some of the timers may be enabled to generate a periodic interrupt. Niektoré z časovače môžu byť umožnené generovať periodické prerušenia. 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.. Je-li časovač je nastavený na pravidelné, je jeho doba pridaný do zápasu registrovať zakaždým, keď dôjde k zápasu, tak výpočtovej nabudúce pre tento časovač pre generovanie prerušenia .. 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. Counter-up je zvyčajne 64 bitov široké, ale 32-bitové implementácie sú pripúšťajú špecifikácií a 64-bit up-čítača môže byť riadené v 32-bitovom režime. Up-counters run at a minimum of 10 MHz. Up-pulty bežať na minimálne 10 MHz. which is much faster than the older čo je oveľa rýchlejšie ako staršie RTC RTC (Real Time Clock) and can thus produce periodic interrupts at a much higher resolution. (Real Time Clock), a tak môžu produkovať pravidelne prerušuje na oveľa vyššie rozlíšenie. The registers associated with these timers are mapped to memory space. Registre spojené s týmito časovača sa mapovali do pamäťového priestoru.
The BIOS uses BIOS používa ACPI ACPI ( Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) functionality to inform the operating system of the location of the HPET memory-mapped register space. (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) funkcie informovať operačný systém umiestnenie pamäte HPET-mapoval register priestoru. Here is an example of a disassembled ACPI HPET table from an Intel DX48BT2 (AKA BoneTrail) motherboard. Tu je príklad rozloženom ACPI tabuľky HPET od Intel DX48BT2 (AKA Bonetrail), základná doska.

See page 30 of the HPET v1.0a specification for a detailed breakdown of the individual bits in the Event Time Block (called Hardware Block by the AML disassember). Pozri stranu 30 špecifikácie 1.0a HPET pre podrobný rozpis jednotlivých bitov v prípade času Blok (tzv. Hardware bloku proti praniu špinavých peňazí disassember). Note that only one Event Timer Block need be described in the HPET table in order to bootstrap an operating system. Všimnite si, že len jedna udalosť Timer Blok musí byť opísané v tabuľke HPET, aby sa štartovacie operačného systému. This is the case here. To je prípad tu. 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. Pre ne-legacy platformy, udalosti Timer bloku je popísané v HPET je ten, ktorý poskytuje funkčnosť nahradiť 8254/RTC periodickej prerušenia Logic.
Other Event Time Blocks are described in the ACPI namespace. Ostatné udalosti Čas Bloky sú opísané v odbore názvov ACPI. Here is the relevant section from the disassembled ACPI DSDT table. Tu je relevantná časť z rozobratých ACPI DSDT tabuľku.

The first line is outputted when the ACPI HPET table is read. Prvý riadok je outputted po prečítaní ACPI HPET tabuľky. The second line is outputted when the ACPI HPET table is mapped into memory by …/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c . Druhý riadok je outputted keď je ACPI HPET tabuľky mapovaná do pamäti ... / 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. Ďalšia linka je outputted keď sa preruší HPET dedičstva začalo a HPET je registrovaný ako svetové hodiny. 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.. Nasledujúci riadok outputted keď jadro kontroly, aby zabezpečili, že aspoň jeden časovač je vyhradené pre užívateľský priestor (/ dev / HPET.) Ďalšie dva riadky výstupu pochádza z ovládača zariadenia HPET (... / drivers / char / hpet.c. ) Z toho vyplýva, že 2 časovača boli pridelené preruší a dvaja nie ..

The HPET driver ( /dev/hpet ) has a similar API to the Real Time Clock driver. HPET driver (/ dev / HPET) má podobné API pre Real Time Clock driver. It is a character device which can support any number of HPET devices. Jedná sa o znakové zariadenia, ktoré môžu podporiť ľubovoľnom počte zariadení HPET. The kernel API has three interfaces exported from the driver: Jadrá API rozhranie má tri vyvážené od vodiča:
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 . Rozhranie pre užívateľský priestor HPET je definovaný v hlavičke / usr / include / linux / hpet.h. The current set of supported operations is: Súčasný súbor podporovaných aktivít je:
#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. Nasledujúci príklad ukazuje, ako používať uverejnené rozhranie pre prístup k HPET a volať jednoduché periodické signálu hpet_alarm medzi 2 až 99 krát za sekundu.

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. No, já myslím, že som poskytol vám dostatok informácií, takže by teraz mala byť schopní odísť a experimentovať s rozhraním HPET sami.
By the way, not all VMware products support HPET. Mimochodom, nie všetci VMware podporujú 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. V súčasnej dobe ESX neposkytuje virtuálne HPET pre hostované operačné systémy v niektorých prípadoch môže byť potrebné vypnúť HPET dohromady, pretože časovač posunu vo virtuálnych počítačoch. See Vidieť VMware TimeKeeping VMware časomerač for more information. pre viac informácií.
