RPi3 clock functions

[Expand]

procedure RPi3ClockInterrupt(Parameter:Pointer);

Description: Interrupt handler function for the clock interrupt

Note	This schedules another clock interrupt to occur CLOCK_CYCLES_PER_TICK in the future, then updates ClockTicks and ClockSeconds and checks for timers to trigger.

[Expand]

procedure RPi3ClockUpdate(Cycles:LongWord; var Last:LongWord);

Description: Setup a clock interrupt to trigger after the specified number of clock cycles

Cycles	Number of cycles after which the timer interrupt is to be triggered
Note	This refers to native clock cycles as specified by CLOCK_FREQUENCY

RPi3 scheduler functions

[Expand]

function RPi3SchedulerInterrupt(CPUID:LongWord; Thread:TThreadHandle; Parameter:Pointer):TThreadHandle;

Description: Interrupt handler function for the scheduler interrupt

Note	This schedules another scheduler interrupt to occur SCHEDULER_CLOCKS_PER_INTERRUPT in the future, then checks for threads to wakeup or timeout and the next thread to schedule.

[Expand]

procedure RPi3SchedulerUpdate(Cycles:LongWord; var Last:LongWord);

Description: Setup a scheduler interrupt to trigger after the specified number of clock cycles

Cycles	Number of cycles after which the scheduler interrupt is to be triggered
Note	This refers to native clock cycles as specified by RPI3_GENERIC_TIMER_FREQUENCY

[Expand]

procedure RPi3SchedulerSystemCall(Request:PSystemCallRequest);

Description: System Call handler for the scheduler

Note	This is registered to receive requests for the SYSTEM_CALL_CONTEXT_SWITCH and will perform a context switch from within an SWI
