• ff3ead96d   timers: Introduce in-kernel alarm-timer interface ... Browse Code »

  This provides the in kernel interface and infrastructure for
  alarm-timers.

  Alarm-timers are a hybrid style timer, similar to hrtimers,
  but when the system is suspended, the RTC device is set to
  fire and wake the system for when the soonest alarm-timer
  expires.

  The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
  driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.

  See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36

  This in-kernel interface should be fairly compatible with the
  Android alarm driver in-kernel interface, but has the advantage
  of utilizing the new RTC timerqueue code instead of doing direct
  RTC manipulation.
