Detailed Description

Arch specific Timing Measurement APIs .

Implements the necessary bits to support timing measurement using architecture specific timing measurement mechanism.

Function Documentation

arch_timing_counter_get()

timing_t arch_timing_counter_get

(

void

)

#include <zephyr/arch/arch_interface.h>

Return timing counter.

Note

Any call to arch_timing_counter_get() must be done between calls to arch_timing_start() and arch_timing_stop(), and on the same CPU core.

Note

Not all architectures have a timing counter with 64 bit precision. It is possible to see this value "go backwards" due to internal rollover. Timing code must be prepared to address the rollover (with platform-dependent code, e.g. by casting to a uint32_t before subtraction) or by using arch_timing_cycles_get() which is required to understand the distinction.

Returns

Timing counter.

timing_counter_get()

arch_timing_cycles_get()

uint64_t arch_timing_cycles_get	(	volatile timing_t *const	start,
		volatile timing_t *const	end )

#include <zephyr/arch/arch_interface.h>

Get number of cycles between start and end.

Note

For some architectures, the raw numbers from counter need to be scaled to obtain actual number of cycles, or may roll over internally. This function computes a positive-definite interval between two returned cycle values.

Parameters

start	Pointer to counter at start of a measured execution.
end	Pointer to counter at stop of a measured execution.

Returns

Number of cycles between start and end.

Parameters

uint64_t arch_timing_cycles_to_ns_avg	(	uint64_t	cycles,
		uint32_t	count )

#include <zephyr/arch/arch_interface.h>

Convert number of cycles into nanoseconds with averaging.

Parameters

count	Times of accumulated cycles to average over

Returns

timing_init()

arch_timing_start()

void arch_timing_start

(

void

)

#include <zephyr/arch/arch_interface.h>

Signal the start of the timing information gathering.

Signal to the timing subsystem that timing information will be gathered from this point forward.

Note

Any call to arch_timing_counter_get() must be done between calls to arch_timing_start() and arch_timing_stop(), and on the same CPU core.

void arch_timing_stop

(

void

)

#include <zephyr/arch/arch_interface.h>

Signal the end of the timing information gathering.

Signal to the timing subsystem that timing information is no longer being gathered from this point forward.

Note

Any call to arch_timing_counter_get() must be done between calls to arch_timing_start() and arch_timing_stop(), and on the same CPU core.
