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 callback function, 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  * A transaction-based API is used for modifying ptimer state: all calls
24  * to functions which modify ptimer state must be between matched calls to
25  * ptimer_transaction_begin() and ptimer_transaction_commit().
26  * When ptimer_transaction_commit() is called it will evaluate the state
27  * of the timer after all the changes in the transaction, and call the
28  * callback if necessary. (See the ptimer_init() documentation for the full
29  * list of state-modifying functions and detailed semantics of the callback.)
30  *
31  * Forgetting to set the period/frequency (or setting it to zero) is a
32  * bug in the QEMU device and will cause warning messages to be printed
33  * to stderr when the guest attempts to enable the timer.

36 /* The default ptimer policy retains backward compatibility with the legacy
37  * timers. Custom policies are adjusting the default one. Consider providing
38  * a correct policy for your timer.
39  *
40  * The rough edges of the default policy:
41  *  - Starting to run with a period = 0 emits error message and stops the
42  *    timer without a trigger.
43  *
44  *  - Setting period to 0 of the running timer emits error message and
45  *    stops the timer without a trigger.
46  *
47  *  - Starting to run with counter = 0 or setting it to "0" while timer
48  *    is running causes a trigger and reloads counter with a limit value.
49  *    If limit = 0, ptimer emits error message and stops the timer.
50  *
51  *  - Counter value of the running timer is one less than the actual value.
52  *
53  *  - Changing period/frequency of the running timer loses time elapsed
54  *    since the last period, effectively restarting the timer with a
55  *    counter = counter value at the moment of change (.i.e. one less).
