52 This function registers the handler NotifyFunction so it is called every time \r
53 the timer interrupt fires. It also passes the amount of time since the last \r
54 handler call to the NotifyFunction. If NotifyFunction is NULL, then the \r
55 handler is unregistered. If the handler is registered, then EFI_SUCCESS is \r
56 returned. If the CPU does not support registering a timer interrupt handler, \r
57 then EFI_UNSUPPORTED is returned. If an attempt is made to register a handler \r
58 when a handler is already registered, then EFI_ALREADY_STARTED is returned. \r
59 If an attempt is made to unregister a handler when a handler is not registered, \r
60 then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned. If an error occurs attempting to \r
61 register the NotifyFunction with the timer interrupt, then EFI_DEVICE_ERROR \r
62 is returned.\r

88 This function adjusts the period of timer interrupts to the value specified \r
89 by TimerPeriod. If the timer period is updated, then the selected timer \r
90 period is stored in EFI_TIMER.TimerPeriod, and EFI_SUCCESS is returned. If \r
91 the timer hardware is not programmable, then EFI_UNSUPPORTED is returned. \r
92 If an error occurs while attempting to update the timer period, then the \r
93 timer hardware will be put back in its state prior to this call, and \r
94 EFI_DEVICE_ERROR is returned. If TimerPeriod is 0, then the timer interrupt \r
95 is disabled. This is not the same as disabling the CPU's interrupts. \r
96 Instead, it must either turn off the timer hardware, or it must adjust the \r
97 interrupt controller so that a CPU interrupt is not generated when the timer \r
98 interrupt fires. \r

104 will be rounded up to the nearest timer period that is supported\r
105 by the timer hardware. If TimerPeriod is set to 0, then the\r
106 timer interrupts will be disabled.\r
