Real Time Clock (RTC) Drivers for Linux
======================================= When Linux developers talk about a "Real Time Clock", they usually mean
something that tracks wall clock time and is battery backed so that it
works even with system power off. Such clocks will normally not track
the local time zone or daylight savings time -- unless they dual boot
with MS-Windows -- but will instead be set to Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC, formerly "Greenwich Mean Time"). The newest non-PC hardware tends to just count seconds, like the time(2)
system call reports, but RTCs also very commonly represent time using
the Gregorian calendar and 24 hour time, as reported by gmtime(3). Linux has two largely-compatible userspace RTC API families you may
need to know about: * /dev/rtc ... is the RTC provided by PC compatible systems,
so it's not very portable to non-x86 systems. * /dev/rtc0, /dev/rtc1 ... are part of a framework that's
supported by a wide variety of RTC chips on all systems. Programmers need to understand that the PC/AT functionality is not
always available, and some systems can do much more. That is, the
RTCs use the same API to make requests in both RTC frameworks (using
different filenames of course), but the hardware may not offer the
same functionality. For example, not every RTC is hooked up to an
IRQ, so they can't all issue alarms; and where standard PC RTCs can
only issue an alarm up to 24 hours in the future, other hardware may
be able to schedule one any time in the upcoming century. Old PC/AT-Compatible driver: /dev/rtc
-------------------------------------- All PCs (even Alpha machines) have a Real Time Clock built into them.
Usually they are built into the chipset of the computer, but some may
actually have a Motorola MC146818 (or clone) on the board. This is the
clock that keeps the date and time while your computer is turned off. ACPI has standardized that MC146818 functionality, and extended it in
a few ways (enabling longer alarm periods, and wake-from-hibernate).
That functionality is NOT exposed in the old driver. However it can also be used to generate signals from a slow 2Hz to a
relatively fast 8192Hz, in increments of powers of two. These signals
are reported by interrupt number 8. (Oh! So *that* is what IRQ 8 is
for...) It can also function as a 24hr alarm, raising IRQ 8 when the
alarm goes off. The alarm can also be programmed to only check any
subset of the three programmable values, meaning that it could be set to
ring on the 30th second of the 30th minute of every hour, for example.
The clock can also be set to generate an interrupt upon every clock
update, thus generating a 1Hz signal. The interrupts are reported via /dev/rtc (major 10, minor 135, read only
character device) in the form of an unsigned long. The low byte contains
the type of interrupt (update-done, alarm-rang, or periodic) that was
raised, and the remaining bytes contain the number of interrupts since
the last read. Status information is reported through the pseudo-file
/proc/driver/rtc if the /proc filesystem was enabled. The driver has
built in locking so that only one process is allowed to have the /dev/rtc
interface open at a time. A user process can monitor these interrupts by doing a read(2) or a
select(2) on /dev/rtc -- either will block/stop the user process until
the next interrupt is received. This is useful for things like
reasonably high frequency data acquisition where one doesn't want to
burn up 100% CPU by polling gettimeofday etc. etc. At high frequencies, or under high loads, the user process should check
the number of interrupts received since the last read to determine if
there has been any interrupt "pileup" so to speak. Just for reference, a
typical 486-33 running a tight read loop on /dev/rtc will start to suffer
occasional interrupt pileup (i.e. > 1 IRQ event since last read) for
frequencies above 1024Hz. So you really should check the high bytes
of the value you read, especially at frequencies above that of the
normal timer interrupt, which is 100Hz. Programming and/or enabling interrupt frequencies greater than 64Hz is
only allowed by root. This is perhaps a bit conservative, but we don't want
an evil user generating lots of IRQs on a slow 386sx-16, where it might have
a negative impact on performance. This 64Hz limit can be changed by writing
a different value to /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq. Note that the
interrupt handler is only a few lines of code to minimize any possibility
of this effect. Also, if the kernel time is synchronized with an external source, the
kernel will write the time back to the CMOS clock every 11 minutes. In
the process of doing this, the kernel briefly turns off RTC periodic
interrupts, so be aware of this if you are doing serious work. If you
don't synchronize the kernel time with an external source (via ntp or
whatever) then the kernel will keep its hands off the RTC, allowing you
exclusive access to the device for your applications. The alarm and/or interrupt frequency are programmed into the RTC via
various ioctl(2) calls as listed in ./include/linux/rtc.h
Rather than write 50 pages describing the ioctl() and so on, it is
perhaps more useful to include a small test program that demonstrates
how to use them, and demonstrates the features of the driver. This is
probably a lot more useful to people interested in writing applications
that will be using this driver. See the code at the end of this document. (The original /dev/rtc driver was written by Paul Gortmaker.) New portable "RTC Class" drivers: /dev/rtcN
-------------------------------------------- Because Linux supports many non-ACPI and non-PC platforms, some of which
have more than one RTC style clock, it needed a more portable solution
than expecting a single battery-backed MC146818 clone on every system.
Accordingly, a new "RTC Class" framework has been defined. It offers
three different userspace interfaces: * /dev/rtcN ... much the same as the older /dev/rtc interface * /sys/class/rtc/rtcN ... sysfs attributes support readonly
access to some RTC attributes. * /proc/driver/rtc ... the system clock RTC may expose itself
using a procfs interface. If there is no RTC for the system clock,
rtc0 is used by default. More information is (currently) shown
here than through sysfs. The RTC Class framework supports a wide variety of RTCs, ranging from those
integrated into embeddable system-on-chip (SOC) processors to discrete chips
using I2C, SPI, or some other bus to communicate with the host CPU. There's
even support for PC-style RTCs ... including the features exposed on newer PCs
through ACPI. The new framework also removes the "one RTC per system" restriction. For
example, maybe the low-power battery-backed RTC is a discrete I2C chip, but
a high functionality RTC is integrated into the SOC. That system might read
the system clock from the discrete RTC, but use the integrated one for all
other tasks, because of its greater functionality. SYSFS INTERFACE
--------------- The sysfs interface under /sys/class/rtc/rtcN provides access to various
rtc attributes without requiring the use of ioctls. All dates and times
are in the RTC's timezone, rather than in system time. date: RTC-provided date
hctosys: 1 if the RTC provided the system time at boot via the
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS kernel option, 0 otherwise
max_user_freq: The maximum interrupt rate an unprivileged user may request
from this RTC.
name: The name of the RTC corresponding to this sysfs directory
since_epoch: The number of seconds since the epoch according to the RTC
time: RTC-provided time
wakealarm: The time at which the clock will generate a system wakeup
event. This is a one shot wakeup event, so must be reset
after wake if a daily wakeup is required. Format is seconds since
the epoch by default, or if there's a leading +, seconds in the
future, or if there is a leading +=, seconds ahead of the current
alarm. IOCTL INTERFACE
--------------- The ioctl() calls supported by /dev/rtc are also supported by the RTC class
framework. However, because the chips and systems are not standardized,
some PC/AT functionality might not be provided. And in the same way, some
newer features -- including those enabled by ACPI -- are exposed by the
RTC class framework, but can't be supported by the older driver. * RTC_RD_TIME, RTC_SET_TIME ... every RTC supports at least reading
time, returning the result as a Gregorian calendar date and 24 hour
wall clock time. To be most useful, this time may also be updated. * RTC_AIE_ON, RTC_AIE_OFF, RTC_ALM_SET, RTC_ALM_READ ... when the RTC
is connected to an IRQ line, it can often issue an alarm IRQ up to
24 hours in the future. (Use RTC_WKALM_* by preference.) * RTC_WKALM_SET, RTC_WKALM_RD ... RTCs that can issue alarms beyond
the next 24 hours use a slightly more powerful API, which supports
setting the longer alarm time and enabling its IRQ using a single
request (using the same model as EFI firmware). * RTC_UIE_ON, RTC_UIE_OFF ... if the RTC offers IRQs, the RTC framework
will emulate this mechanism. * RTC_PIE_ON, RTC_PIE_OFF, RTC_IRQP_SET, RTC_IRQP_READ ... these icotls
are emulated via a kernel hrtimer. In many cases, the RTC alarm can be a system wake event, used to force
Linux out of a low power sleep state (or hibernation) back to a fully
operational state. For example, a system could enter a deep power saving
state until it's time to execute some scheduled tasks. Note that many of these ioctls are handled by the common rtc-dev interface.
Some common examples: * RTC_RD_TIME, RTC_SET_TIME: the read_time/set_time functions will be
called with appropriate values. * RTC_ALM_SET, RTC_ALM_READ, RTC_WKALM_SET, RTC_WKALM_RD: gets or sets
the alarm rtc_timer. May call the set_alarm driver function. * RTC_IRQP_SET, RTC_IRQP_READ: These are emulated by the generic code. * RTC_PIE_ON, RTC_PIE_OFF: These are also emulated by the generic code. If all else fails, check out the tools/testing/selftests/timers/rtctest.c test!
