At the hardware level, the J-Core PIT is integrated with the interrupt controller, but it is represented as its own device and has an independent programming interface. It provides a 12-bit countdown timer, which is not presently used, and a periodic timer. The interval length for the latter is programmable via a 32-bit throttle register whose units are determined by a bus-period register. The periodic timer is used to implement both periodic and oneshot clock event modes; in oneshot mode the interrupt handler simply disables the timer as soon as it fires. Despite its device tree node representing an interrupt for the PIT, the actual irq generated is programmable, not hard-wired. The driver is responsible for programming the PIT to generate the hardware irq number that the DT assigns to it. On SMP configurations, J-Core provides cpu-local instances of the PIT; no broadcast timer is needed. This driver supports the creation of the necessary per-cpu clock_event_device instances. A nanosecond-resolution clocksource is provided using the J-Core "RTC" registers, which give a 64-bit seconds count and 32-bit nanoseconds that wrap every second. The driver converts these to a full-range 32-bit nanoseconds count.
