  13/*
  14 * The ptimer API implements a simple periodic countdown timer.
  15 * The countdown timer has a value (which can be read and written via
  16 * ptimer_get_count() and ptimer_set_count()). When it is enabled
  17 * using ptimer_run(), the value will count downwards at the frequency
  18 * which has been configured using ptimer_set_period() or ptimer_set_freq().
  19 * When it reaches zero it will trigger a callback function, and
  20 * can be set to either reload itself from a specified limit value
  21 * and keep counting down, or to stop (as a one-shot timer).
  22 *
  23 * A transaction-based API is used for modifying ptimer state: all calls
  24 * to functions which modify ptimer state must be between matched calls to
  25 * ptimer_transaction_begin() and ptimer_transaction_commit().
  26 * When ptimer_transaction_commit() is called it will evaluate the state
  27 * of the timer after all the changes in the transaction, and call the
  28 * callback if necessary. (See the ptimer_init() documentation for the full
  29 * list of state-modifying functions and detailed semantics of the callback.)
  30 *
  31 * Forgetting to set the period/frequency (or setting it to zero) is a
  32 * bug in the QEMU device and will cause warning messages to be printed
  33 * to stderr when the guest attempts to enable the timer.

  36/*
  37 * The 'legacy' ptimer policy retains backward compatibility with the
  38 * traditional ptimer behaviour from before policy flags were introduced.
  39 * It has several weird behaviours which don't match typical hardware
  40 * timer behaviour. For a new device using ptimers, you should not
  41 * use PTIMER_POLICY_LEGACY, but instead check the actual behaviour
  42 * that you need and specify the right set of policy flags to get that.
  43 *
  44 * If you are overhauling an existing device that uses PTIMER_POLICY_LEGACY
  45 * and are in a position to check or test the real hardware behaviour,
  46 * consider updating it to specify the right policy flags.
  47 *
  48 * The rough edges of the default policy:
  49 *  - Starting to run with a period = 0 emits error message and stops the
  50 *    timer without a trigger.
  51 *
  52 *  - Setting period to 0 of the running timer emits error message and
  53 *    stops the timer without a trigger.
  54 *
  55 *  - Starting to run with counter = 0 or setting it to "0" while timer
  56 *    is running causes a trigger and reloads counter with a limit value.
  57 *    If limit = 0, ptimer emits error message and stops the timer.
  58 *
  59 *  - Counter value of the running timer is one less than the actual value.
  60 *
  61 *  - Changing period/frequency of the running timer loses time elapsed
  62 *    since the last period, effectively restarting the timer with a
  63 *    counter = counter value at the moment of change (.i.e. one less).
