fec_ptp_read(9)

okay bestie, welcome to fec_ptp_read(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the read raw cycle counter situation, and yes it's as niche and iconic as it sounds. 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

fec_ptp_read — read raw cycle counter (to be used by time counter) 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

u64 fec_ptp_read (struct cyclecounter *cc );

that's the whole signature, no cap — copy it exactly if you're typing it out, bestie. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cc — the cyclecounter structure. that's the one you're handing over. 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea: this function reads the cyclecounter registers, and it is called by the cyclecounter structure used to construct a ns counter from the arbitrary fixed point registers. literally that's the vibe — registers in, counter construction energy out. 🌈
