  15/* The ptimer API implements a simple periodic countdown timer.
  16 * The countdown timer has a value (which can be read and written via
  17 * ptimer_get_count() and ptimer_set_count()). When it is enabled
  18 * using ptimer_run(), the value will count downwards at the frequency
  19 * which has been configured using ptimer_set_period() or ptimer_set_freq().
  20 * When it reaches zero it will trigger a QEMU bottom half handler, and
  21 * can be set to either reload itself from a specified limit value
  22 * and keep counting down, or to stop (as a one-shot timer).
  23 *
  24 * Forgetting to set the period/frequency (or setting it to zero) is a
  25 * bug in the QEMU device and will cause warning messages to be printed
  26 * to stderr when the guest attempts to enable the timer.

  29/* The default ptimer policy retains backward compatibility with the legacy
  30 * timers. Custom policies are adjusting the default one. Consider providing
  31 * a correct policy for your timer.
  32 *
  33 * The rough edges of the default policy:
  34 *  - Starting to run with a period = 0 emits error message and stops the
  35 *    timer without a trigger.
  36 *
  37 *  - Setting period to 0 of the running timer emits error message and
  38 *    stops the timer without a trigger.
  39 *
  40 *  - Starting to run with counter = 0 or setting it to "0" while timer
  41 *    is running causes a trigger and reloads counter with a limit value.
  42 *    If limit = 0, ptimer emits error message and stops the timer.
  43 *
  44 *  - Counter value of the running timer is one less than the actual value.
  45 *
  46 *  - Changing period/frequency of the running timer loses time elapsed
  47 *    since the last period, effectively restarting the timer with a
  48 *    counter = counter value at the moment of change (.i.e. one less).
