STRUCT TTC_TIMER(9)
π struct ttc_timer(9) π
okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, bestie β it's all about struct ttc_timer, and ngl it's a short one but it's lowkey iconic. let's get into it β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct ttc_timer β this definition defines the local timer structure. that's it, that's the vibe. it's the struct itself, she's the main character π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
struct ttc_timer {
void __iomem *base_addr;
unsigned long freq;
struct clk *clk;
struct notifier_block clk_rate_change_nb;
};
literally the whole thing, no cap. copy it exactly, don't be out here renaming fields π
β¨ Members β¨
base_addrβ base address of the timer. like, where she lives πfreqβ the timer input clock frequency. her whole tempo, fr fr.clkβ the associated clock source. every timer needs her clock bestie π«Άclk_rate_change_nbβ notifier block for clock rate changes. so when the clock rate shifts, this one gets the heads-up. the way that this keeps her in the loop ππ

lowkey a reminder bestie: the members list is the whole documentation here β don't go assuming extra behaviour that isn't written down. the manpage said what it said, periodt π
and that's a wrap, gorgeous π§ββοΈ this page came from ./drivers/clocksource and it's dated October 2026 β so yeah, future-coded and flawless. mwah πβπΈ
