linux timer using example

本文介绍了一个简单的Linux定时器模块实现案例,该模块通过初始化定时器并设置回调函数,在指定时间间隔触发自定义任务。文章展示了如何使用Linux内核API进行定时任务调度,并提供了完整的Makefile配置用于模块编译。

#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/hardirq.h>

MODULE_LICENSE("Dual BSD/GPL");



static struct timer_list timer_data;
static int counter = 0;
static void test_timer(unsigned long temp)
{
	int ret = 0;

	printk("test_timer()++\n");
	
	ret = in_interrupt();
	printk("in_interrupt ret = %d\n",ret);
	ret = in_atomic();
	printk("in_atomic ret = %d\n",ret);
	printk("counter = %d\n", counter++);
	mod_timer(&timer_data, jiffies + HZ);

	printk("test_timer()--\n");	
}
char *ptest_str = "Hello test_timer\n";
static int mmap_init(void)
{
	printk(KERN_ALERT"mmap_init()++\n");
	
	init_timer(&timer_data);
	timer_data.expires = jiffies + HZ;
	timer_data.data = (unsigned long) ptest_str;
	timer_data.function = test_timer;
	add_timer(&timer_data);
	
	printk(KERN_ALERT"mmap_init()--\n");
	
	return 0;
}

static void mmap_exit(void)
{
	printk(KERN_ALERT"mmap_exit()++\n");

	del_timer(&timer_data);
	
	printk(KERN_ALERT"mmap_exit()--\n");	
}

module_init(mmap_init);
module_exit(mmap_exit);

### Timer Channel Implementation and Usage In programming, timer channels are often used to manage time-based events efficiently. These can be implemented using various methods depending on the platform or framework being utilized. Below is a detailed explanation of how timers work within different contexts. #### Asynchronous I/O with Timers Asynchronous Input/Output (I/O) allows programs to perform other tasks while waiting for I/O operations to complete. In this context, timers may act as triggers that inform the program about specific intervals or delays before executing certain actions[^1]. For instance, in many modern systems such as Linux, you might use `select()`, `poll()` or even more advanced mechanisms like epoll along with file descriptors representing timers. Here’s an example demonstrating setting up a simple POSIX timer under Unix-like environments: ```c #include <signal.h> #include <time.h> void handle_alarm(int sig){ printf("Timer expired\n"); } int main(){ struct sigaction sa; struct itimerval timer; /* Set handler */ sa.sa_handler = &handle_alarm; sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask); sa.sa_flags = SA_RESETHAND; // Reset after first call. if(sigaction(SIGALRM,&sa,NULL)==-1){ perror("sigaction failed"); return 1; } /* Configure one-shot alarm every second */ timer.it_value.tv_sec=1; timer.it_value.tv_usec=0; timer.it_interval.tv_sec=0; timer.it_interval.tv_usec=0; setitimer(ITIMER_REAL,&timer,NULL); pause();/* Wait until signal received */ return 0; } ``` This code sets up a basic real-time interval timer which sends SIGALRM signals periodically based upon configuration provided through structures defined by `<sys/time.h>` header files[^3]. #### Low-Power Considerations When Implementing Timers When designing embedded software where power consumption matters significantly—such as those utilizing ARM IPs—it becomes crucial not only to implement functional but also energy-efficient solutions. One approach involves managing states effectively so unnecessary computations do not occur during idle periods unless absolutely necessary[^2]. This could involve turning off logic retention switches when transitioning into lower activity modes thus reducing overall current draw without losing critical state information required post-resume. For applications requiring precise timing yet minimal resource utilization consider leveraging hardware peripherals dedicated specifically towards generating periodic interrupts rather than relying solely upon purely software constructs since they tend consume fewer resources compared against their counterparts entirely coded at application layer level alone. ---
