[PATCH] rust: hrtimer: introduce hrtimer support

From: Andreas Hindborg
Date: Thu Apr 25 2024 - 05:46:59 EST


From: Andreas Hindborg <a.hindborg@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds support for intrusive use of the hrtimer system. For now, only
one timer can be embedded in a Rust struct.

The hrtimer Rust API is based on the intrusive style pattern introduced by the
Rust workqueue API.

Signed-off-by: Andreas Hindborg <a.hindborg@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch is a dependency for the Rust null block driver [1].

+//! Intrusive high resolution timers.
+//!
+//! Allows scheduling timer callbacks without doing allocations at the time of
+//! scheduling. For now, only one timer per type is allowed.

+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use kernel::{
+//! sync::Arc, hrtimer::{RawTimer, Timer, TimerCallback},
+//! impl_has_timer, prelude::*, stack_pin_init
+//! };
+//! use core::sync::atomic::AtomicBool;
+//! use core::sync::atomic::Ordering;
+//!
+//! #[pin_data]
+//! struct IntrusiveTimer {
+//! #[pin]
+//! timer: Timer<Self>,
+//! flag: AtomicBool,
+//! }
+//!
+//! impl IntrusiveTimer {
+//! fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> {
+//! pin_init!(Self {
+//! timer <- Timer::new(),
+//! flag: AtomicBool::new(false),
+//! })
+//! }
+//! }
+//!
+//! impl TimerCallback for IntrusiveTimer {
+//! type Receiver = Arc<IntrusiveTimer>;
+//!
+//! fn run(this: Self::Receiver) {
+//! pr_info!("Timer called\n");
+//! this.flag.store(true, Ordering::Relaxed);
+//! }
+//! }
+//!
+//! impl_has_timer! {
+//! impl HasTimer<Self> for IntrusiveTimer { self.timer }
+//! }
+//!
+//! let has_timer = Arc::pin_init(IntrusiveTimer::new())?;
+//! has_timer.clone().schedule(200_000_000);
+//! while !has_timer.flag.load(Ordering::Relaxed) { core::hint::spin_loop() }
+//!
+//! pr_info!("Flag raised\n");
