Modern hardware all supports a TSC_DEADLINE mode for the APIC timer, where the same GHz-scale 64 bit TSC used for performance monitoring becomes the free-running counter used for cpu-local timer interrupts. Being a free running counter that does not need to be reset, it will not lose time in an interrupt. Being 64 bit, it needs no rollover or clamping logic in the driver when presented with a 32 bit tick count. Being a proper comparator, it will correctly trigger interrupts for times set "in the past" and thus needs no minimum/clamping logic. The counter is synchronized across the system architecturally (modulo one burp where firmware likes to change the adjustment value) so usage is SMP-safe by default. Access to the 64 bit counter and comparator value are single-instruction atomics even on 32 bit systems, so it beats even the RISC-V machine timer in complexity (which was our reigning champ for "simplest timer driver"). Really this is just ideal for Zephyr. So rather than try to add support for it to the existing APIC driver and increase complexity, make this a new standalone driver instead. All modern hardware has what it needs. The sole gotcha is that it's not easily emulatable (qemu supports it only under kvm where they can freeload on the host TSC) so it can be exercised only on hardware platforms right now.

Extremely simple timer driver based the local APIC TSC

deadline capability. The use of a free-running 64 bit

counter with comparator eliminates almost all edge cases

permits effectively unlimited precision where needed (the

limit becomes the CPU time taken to execute the timing

logic). SMP-safe and very fast, this should be the obvious
