2021-06-24time: Improve performance of time64_to_tm()Cassio Neri1-58/+70
The current implementation of time64_to_tm() contains unnecessary loops, branches and look-up tables. The new one uses an arithmetic-based algorithm appeared in [1] and is approximately 3x faster (YMMV). The drawback is that the new code isn't intuitive and contains many 'magic numbers' (not unusual for this type of algorithm). However, [1] justifies all those numbers and, given this function's history, the code is unlikely to need much maintenance, if any at all. Add a KUnit test for it which checks every day in a 160,000 years interval centered at 1970-01-01 against the expected result.

2020-11-15time: Add missing colons for parameter documentation of time64_to_tm()Alex Shi1-3/+3
Address these kernel-doc warnings: kernel/time/timeconv.c:79: warning: Function parameter or member 'totalsecs' not described in 'time64_to_tm' kernel/time/timeconv.c:79: warning: Function parameter or member 'offset' not described in 'time64_to_tm' kernel/time/timeconv.c:79: warning: Function parameter or member 'result' not described in 'time64_to_tm' The parameters are described but lack colons after the parameter name.

2018-11-23time: Add SPDX license identifiersThomas Gleixner1-0/+1
Update the time(r) core files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Philippe Ombredanne, Kate Stewart and myself. The data has been created with two independent license scanners and manual inspection. The following files do not contain any direct license information and have been omitted from the big initial SPDX changes: timeconst.bc: The .bc files were not touched time.c, timer.c, timekeeping.c: Licence was deduced from EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL As those files do not contain direct license references they fall under the project license, i.e. GPL V2 only.

2016-06-20time: Add time64_to_tm()Deepa Dinamani1-5/+6
time_to_tm() takes time_t as an argument. time_t is not y2038 safe. Add time64_to_tm() that takes time64_t as an argument which is y2038 safe. The plan is to eventually replace all calls to time_to_tm() by time64_to_tm().

2009-09-24time: add function to convert between calendar time and broken-down time for ↵Zhaolei1-0/+127
universal use There are many similar code in kernel for one object: convert time between calendar time and broken-down time. Here is some source I found: fs/ncpfs/dir.c fs/smbfs/proc.c fs/fat/misc.c fs/udf/udftime.c fs/cifs/netmisc.c net/netfilter/xt_time.c drivers/scsi/ips.c drivers/input/misc/hp_sdc_rtc.c drivers/rtc/rtc-lib.c arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/fw-emu.c arch/m68k/mac/misc.c arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c arch/parisc/include/asm/rtc.h ... We can make a common function for this type of conversion, At least we can get following benefit: 1: Make kernel simple and unify 2: Easy to fix bug in converting code 3: Reduce clone of code in future For example, I'm trying to make ftrace display walltime, this patch will make me easy. This code is based on code from glibc-2.6 Signed-off-by: Zhao Lei <zhaolei@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
