Device drivers use get_device_system_crosststamp() to produce precise
system/device cross-timestamps. The PHC clock and ALSA interfaces, for
example, make the cross-timestamps available to user applications. On
Intel platforms, get_device_system_crosststamp() requires a TSC value
derived from ART (Always Running Timer) to compute the monotonic raw and
realtime system timestamps.
Starting with Intel Goldmont platforms, the PCIe root complex supports the
PTM time sync protocol. PTM requires all timestamps to be in units of
nanoseconds. The Intel root complex hardware propagates system time derived
from ART in units of nanoseconds performing the conversion as follows:
ART_NS = ART * 1e9 / <crystal frequency>
When user software requests a cross-timestamp, the system timestamps
(generally read from device registers) must be converted to TSC by the
driver software as follows:
TSC = ART_NS * TSC_KHZ / 1e6
This is valid when CPU feature flag X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ is set
indicating that tsc_khz is derived from CPUID[15H]. Drivers should check
whether this flag is set before conversion to TSC is attempted.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
