Background

Required Support
----------------
For the features provided by the clock manager to be utilized, periodic timer
interrupts are required. Therefore, a real-time clock or hardware timer is
necessary to create the timer interrupts. The clock tick directive
is normally called by the timer ISR to announce to RTEMS that a system clock
tick has occurred. Elapsed time is measured in ticks. A tick is defined to be
an integral number of microseconds which is specified by the user in the
Configuration Table.
.. _Time and Date Data Structures:
Time and Date Data Structures
-----------------------------
The clock facilities of the clock manager operate upon calendar time. These
directives utilize the following date and time structure for the native time
and date format:
.. index:: rtems_time_of_day
.. code-block:: c
struct rtems_tod_control {
uint32_t year; /* greater than 1987 */
uint32_t month; /* 1 - 12 */
uint32_t day; /* 1 - 31 */
uint32_t hour; /* 0 - 23 */
uint32_t minute; /* 0 - 59 */
uint32_t second; /* 0 - 59 */
uint32_t ticks; /* elapsed between seconds */
};
typedef struct rtems_tod_control rtems_time_of_day;
The native date and time format is the only format supported when setting the
system date and time using the ``rtems_clock_set`` directive. Some
applications expect to operate on a *UNIX-style* date and time data structure.
The ``rtems_clock_get_tod_timeval`` always returns the date and time in
``struct timeval`` format.
The ``struct timeval`` data structure has two fields: ``tv_sec`` and
``tv_usec`` which are seconds and microseconds, respectively. The ``tv_sec``
field in this data structure is the number of seconds since the POSIX epoch of
*January 1, 1970* but will never be prior to the RTEMS epoch of *January 1,
1988*.
.. index:: timeslicing
Clock Tick and Timeslicing
--------------------------
Timeslicing is a task scheduling discipline in which tasks of equal priority
are executed for a specific period of time before control of the CPU is passed
to another task. It is also sometimes referred to as the automatic round-robin
scheduling algorithm. The length of time allocated to each task is known as
the quantum or timeslice.
The system's timeslice is defined as an integral number of ticks, and is
specified in the Configuration Table. The timeslice is defined for the entire
system of tasks, but timeslicing is enabled and disabled on a per task basis.
The clock tick directives implement timeslicing by decrementing the
running task's time-remaining counter when both timeslicing and preemption are
enabled. If the task's timeslice has expired, then that task will be preempted
if there exists a ready task of equal priority.
.. index:: delays
Delays
------
A sleep timer allows a task to delay for a given interval or up until a given
time, and then wake and continue execution. This type of timer is created
automatically by the ``rtems_task_wake_after`` and ``rtems_task_wake_when``
directives and, as a result, does not have an RTEMS ID. Once activated, a
sleep timer cannot be explicitly deleted. Each task may activate one and only
one sleep timer at a time.
.. index:: timeouts
Timeouts
--------
Timeouts are a special type of timer automatically created when the timeout
option is used on the ``rtems_message_queue_receive``, ``rtems_event_receive``,
``rtems_semaphore_obtain`` and ``rtems_region_get_segment`` directives. Each
task may have one and only one timeout active at a time. When a timeout
expires, it unblocks the task with a timeout status code.

and other time related capabilities. The directives provided by
the clock manager are:
- rtems_clock_set_ - Set date and time
- rtems_clock_get_tod_ - Get date and time in TOD format
- rtems_clock_get_tod_timeval_ - Get date and time in timeval format
- rtems_clock_get_seconds_since_epoch_ - Get seconds since epoch
- rtems_clock_get_ticks_per_second_ - Get ticks per second
- rtems_clock_get_ticks_since_boot_ - Get current ticks counter value
- rtems_clock_tick_later_ - Get tick value in the future
- rtems_clock_tick_later_usec_ - Get tick value in the future in microseconds
- rtems_clock_tick_before_ - Is tick value is before a point in time
- rtems_clock_get_uptime_ - Get time since boot
- rtems_clock_get_uptime_timeval_ - Get time since boot in timeval format
- rtems_clock_get_uptime_seconds_ - Get seconds since boot
- rtems_clock_get_uptime_nanoseconds_ - Get nanoseconds since boot

Operations
==========
Announcing a Tick
-----------------
RTEMS provides the several clock tick directives which are called from the
user's real-time clock ISR to inform RTEMS that a tick has elapsed. Depending
on the timer hardware capabilities the clock driver must choose the most
appropriate clock tick directive. The tick frequency value, defined in
microseconds, is a configuration parameter found in the Configuration Table.
RTEMS divides one million microseconds (one second) by the number of
microseconds per tick to determine the number of calls to the clock tick
directive per second. The frequency of clock tick calls determines the
resolution (granularity) for all time dependent RTEMS actions. For example,
calling the clock tick directive ten times per second yields a higher
resolution than calling the clock tick two times per second. The clock tick
directives are responsible for maintaining both calendar time and the dynamic
set of timers.
Setting the Time
----------------
The ``rtems_clock_set`` directive allows a task or an ISR to set the date and
time maintained by RTEMS. If setting the date and time causes any outstanding
timers to pass their deadline, then the expired timers will be fired during the
invocation of the ``rtems_clock_set`` directive.
Obtaining the Time
------------------
RTEMS provides multiple directives which can be used by an application to obtain the current date and time or date and time related information. These directives allow a task or an ISR to obtain the current date and time or date and time related information. The current date and time can be returned in either native or *UNIX-style* format. Additionally, the application can obtain date and time related information such as the number of seconds since the RTEMS epoch, the number of ticks since the executive was initialized, and the number of ticks per second. The following directives are available:
``rtems_clock_get_tod``
obtain native style date and time
``rtems_clock_get_time_value``
obtain *UNIX-style* date and time
``rtems_clock_get_ticks_since_boot``
obtain number of ticks since RTEMS was initialized
``rtems_clock_get_seconds_since_epoch``
obtain number of seconds since RTEMS epoch
``rtems_clock_get_ticks_per_second``
obtain number of clock ticks per second
Calendar time operations will return an error code if invoked before the date
and time have been set.
.. _ClockManagerAdviceClockGet:
Transition Advice for the Removed rtems_clock_get()
---------------------------------------------------
The directive :ref:`rtems_clock_get` took an untyped pointer with an options
argument to indicate the time information desired. This has been replaced with
a set of typed directives:
* :ref:`rtems_clock_get_seconds_since_epoch`
* :ref:`rtems_clock_get_ticks_per_second`
* :ref:`rtems_clock_get_ticks_since_boot`
* :ref:`rtems_clock_get_tod`
* :ref:`rtems_clock_get_tod_timeval`
These directives directly correspond to what were previously referred to as
*clock options*. These strongly typed directives were available for multiple
releases in parallel with :c:func:`rtems_clock_get` until that directive was
removed.
