14 /* The ptimer API implements a simple periodic countdown timer.
15  * The countdown timer has a value (which can be read and written via
16  * ptimer_get_count() and ptimer_set_count()). When it is enabled
17  * using ptimer_run(), the value will count downwards at the frequency
18  * which has been configured using ptimer_set_period() or ptimer_set_freq().
19  * When it reaches zero it will trigger a QEMU bottom half handler, and
20  * can be set to either reload itself from a specified limit value
21  * and keep counting down, or to stop (as a one-shot timer).
22  *
23  * Forgetting to set the period/frequency (or setting it to zero) is a
24  * bug in the QEMU device and will cause warning messages to be printed
25  * to stderr when the guest attempts to enable the timer.

28 /* The default ptimer policy retains backward compatibility with the legacy
29  * timers. Custom policies are adjusting the default one. Consider providing
30  * a correct policy for your timer.
31  *
32  * The rough edges of the default policy:
33  *  - Starting to run with a period = 0 emits error message and stops the
34  *    timer without a trigger.
35  *
36  *  - Setting period to 0 of the running timer emits error message and
37  *    stops the timer without a trigger.
38  *
39  *  - Starting to run with counter = 0 or setting it to "0" while timer
40  *    is running causes a trigger and reloads counter with a limit value.
41  *    If limit = 0, ptimer emits error message and stops the timer.
42  *
43  *  - Counter value of the running timer is one less than the actual value.
44  *
45  *  - Changing period/frequency of the running timer loses time elapsed
46  *    since the last period, effectively restarting the timer with a
47  *    counter = counter value at the moment of change (.i.e. one less).
