πŸ’œ struct ttc_timer(9) πŸ’œ

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 ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

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 πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

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 πŸ™ˆ


✨ Members ✨

  • base_addr β€” base address of the timer. like, where she lives πŸ’…
  • freq β€” the timer input clock frequency. her whole tempo, fr fr.
  • clk β€” the associated clock source. every timer needs her clock bestie 🫢
  • clk_rate_change_nb β€” 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 πŸ˜­πŸ’–
