.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
subsystem maintains a schedule of events,
dispatches expired events,
and rearms the local interrupt clock for each CPU in the system.
.Pp
The
.Fn clockintr_init
function initializes the subsystem as follows:
.Bl -dash
.It
.Xr hardclock 9
is configured to run
.Xr hz 9
times per second on each CPU.
It is an error if
.Vt hz
is less than one or greater than one billion.
.It
.Fn statclock
is configured to run
.Vt stathz
times per second on each CPU.
It is an error if
.Vt stathz
is less than one or greater than one billion.
.It
When appropriate,
.Fn statclock
will be reconfigured to run
.Vt profhz
times per second on each CPU.
.Vt profhz
must be a non-zero integer multiple of
.Vt stathz .
It is an error if
.Vt profhz
is less than
.Vt stathz
or greater than one billion.
.It
If
.Vt schedhz
is non-zero,
.Fn schedclock
is configured to run
.Vt schedhz
times per second on each CPU.
It is an error if
.Vt schedhz
is less than zero or greater than one billion.
.El
.Pp
The event schedule has a resolution of one nanosecond and event periods are
computed using integer division.
If
.Vt hz ,
.Vt stathz ,
.Vt profhz ,
or
.Vt schedhz
do not divide evenly into one billion,
the corresponding event will not be dispatched at the specified frequency.
.Pp
The
.Fn clockintr_init
function accepts the bitwise OR of zero or more of the following
.Fa flags :
.Bl -tag -width CL_RNDSTAT
.It Dv CL_RNDSTAT
Randomize the
.Fn statclock .
Instead of using a fixed period,
the subsystem will select pseudorandom intervals in a range such that
the average
.Fn statclock
period is equal to the inverse of
.Vt stathz .
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn clockintr_init
function must be called exactly once and only by the primary CPU.
It should be called after all timecounters are installed with
.Xr tc_init 9 .
.Pp
The
.Fn clockintr_cpu_init
function prepares the calling CPU for
.Fn clockintr_dispatch .
The first time it is called on a given CPU,
if
.Fa ic
is not
.Dv NULL ,
the caller is configured to use the given
.Fa intrclock
during
.Fn clockintr_dispatch ;
otherwise the caller is responsible for rearming its own interrupt
clock after each
.Fn clockintr_dispatch .
Subsequent calls ignore
.Fa ic :
instead,
the caller's event schedule is advanced past any expired events
without dispatching those events.
It is an error to call this function before the subsystem is initialized with
.Fn clockintr_init .
All CPUs should call
.Fn clockintr_cpu_init
during each system resume after the system time is updated with
.Xr inittodr 9 ,
otherwise they will needlessly dispatch every event that expired while
the system was suspended.
.Pp
The
.Fn clockintr_dispatch
function executes all expired events on the caller's event schedule and,
if configured,
rearms the caller's interrupt clock to fire when the next event is scheduled
to expire.
The
.Fa frame
argument must point to the caller's
.Dv clockframe
struct.
The
.Fn clockintr_dispatch
function should only be called from a clock interrupt handler at
.Dv IPL_CLOCK
.Pq see Xr spl 9 .
It is an error to call this function on a given CPU before
.Fn clockintr_cpu_init .
.Pp
The
.Fn clockintr_setstatclockrate
function changes the effective dispatch frequency for
.Fn statclock
to
.Fa freq .
It should be called from the machine-dependent
.Fn setstatclockrate
function after performing any needed hardware reconfiguration.
It is an error if
.Fa freq
is not equal to
.Vt stathz
or
.Vt profhz .
It is an error to call this function before the subsystem is initialized with
.Fn clockintr_init .
.Pp
The
.Fn clockintr_trigger
function causes the
.Fn clockintr_dispatch
function to run in the appropriate context as soon as possible if
the caller was configured with an
.Fa intrclock
when
.Fn clockintr_cpu_init
was first called.
If the caller was not configured with an
.Fa intrclock ,
the function does nothing.
It is an error to call this function on a given CPU before
.Fn clockintr_cpu_init .
.Pp
The
.Fa ic
argument to
.Fn clockintr_cpu_init
points to an
.Fa intrclock
structure:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
struct intrclock {
	void *ic_cookie;
	void (*ic_rearm)(void *cookie, uint64_t nsecs);
	void (*ic_trigger)(void *cookie);
};
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Fa intrclock
structure provides the
.Nm
subsystem with a uniform interface for manipulating an interrupt clock.
It has the following members:
.Bl -tag -width XXXXXXXXXX
.It Fa ic_cookie
May point to any resources needed during
.Fa ic_rearm
or
.Fa ic_trigger
to arm the underlying interrupt clock
.Pq see below .
.It Fa ic_rearm
Should cause
.Fn clockintr_dispatch
to run on the calling CPU in the appropriate context after at least
.Fa nsecs
nanoseconds have elapsed.
The first argument,
.Fa cookie ,
is the
.Fa ic_cookie
member of the parent structure.
The second argument,
.Fa nsecs ,
is a non-zero count of nanoseconds.
.It Fa ic_trigger
Should cause
.Fn clockintr_dispatch
to run on the calling CPU in the appropriate context as soon as possible.
The first argument,
.Fa cookie ,
is the
.Fa ic_cookie
member of the parent structure.
.El
.Sh CONTEXT
The
.Fn clockintr_init ,
.Fn clockintr_cpu_init ,
and
.Fn clockintr_trigger
functions may be called during autoconf.
.Pp
The
.Fn clockintr_dispatch
function may be called from interrupt context at
.Dv IPL_CLOCK .
.Pp
The
.Fn clockintr_setstatclockrate
function may be called during autoconf,
from process context,
or from interrupt context.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn clockintr_dispatch
function returns non-zero if at least one event was dispatched,
otherwise it returns zero.
