40 This function registers the handler NotifyFunction so it is called every time
41 the timer interrupt fires. It also passes the amount of time since the last
42 handler call to the NotifyFunction. If NotifyFunction is NULL, then the
43 handler is unregistered. If the handler is registered, then EFI_SUCCESS is
44 returned. If the CPU does not support registering a timer interrupt handler,
45 then EFI_UNSUPPORTED is returned. If an attempt is made to register a handler
46 when a handler is already registered, then EFI_ALREADY_STARTED is returned.
47 If an attempt is made to unregister a handler when a handler is not registered,
48 then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned. If an error occurs attempting to

52 @param This The EFI_TIMER_ARCH_PROTOCOL instance.
53 @param NotifyFunction The function to call when a timer interrupt fires. This
54 function executes at TPL_HIGH_LEVEL. The DXE Core will
55 register a handler for the timer interrupt, so it can know
56 how much time has passed. This information is used to
57 signal timer based events. NULL will unregister the handler.
58 @retval EFI_SUCCESS The timer handler was registered.
59 @retval EFI_UNSUPPORTED The platform does not support timer interrupts.
60 @retval EFI_ALREADY_STARTED NotifyFunction is not NULL, and a handler is already
62 @retval EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER NotifyFunction is NULL, and a handler was not
63 previously registered.

102 This function adjusts the period of timer interrupts to the value specified
103 by TimerPeriod. If the timer period is updated, then the selected timer
104 period is stored in EFI_TIMER.TimerPeriod, and EFI_SUCCESS is returned. If
105 the timer hardware is not programmable, then EFI_UNSUPPORTED is returned.
106 If an error occurs while attempting to update the timer period, then the
107 timer hardware will be put back in its state prior to this call, and
108 EFI_DEVICE_ERROR is returned. If TimerPeriod is 0, then the timer interrupt
109 is disabled. This is not the same as disabling the CPU's interrupts.
110 Instead, it must either turn off the timer hardware, or it must adjust the
111 interrupt controller so that a CPU interrupt is not generated when the timer

116 the timer hardware is not programmable, then EFI_UNSUPPORTED is
117 returned. If the timer is programmable, then the timer period
118 will be rounded up to the nearest timer period that is supported
119 by the timer hardware. If TimerPeriod is set to 0, then the
120 timer interrupts will be disabled.
123 @retval EFI_SUCCESS The timer period was changed.
124 @retval EFI_UNSUPPORTED The platform cannot change the period of the timer interrupt.

207 This function generates a soft timer interrupt. If the platform does not support soft
208 timer interrupts, then EFI_UNSUPPORTED is returned. Otherwise, EFI_SUCCESS is returned.
209 If a handler has been registered through the EFI_TIMER_ARCH_PROTOCOL.RegisterHandler()
210 service, then a soft timer interrupt will be generated. If the timer interrupt is
211 enabled when this service is called, then the registered handler will be invoked. The
212 registered handler should not be able to distinguish a hardware-generated timer
213 interrupt from a software-generated timer interrupt.
215 @param This The EFI_TIMER_ARCH_PROTOCOL instance.
217 @retval EFI_SUCCESS The soft timer interrupt was generated.

231 Interface structure for the Timer Architectural Protocol.
233 @par Protocol Description:
234 This protocol provides the services to initialize a periodic timer
235 interrupt, and to register a handler that is called each time the timer
236 interrupt fires. It may also provide a service to adjust the rate of the
237 periodic timer interrupt. When a timer interrupt occurs, the handler is
238 passed the amount of time that has passed since the previous timer
241 @param RegisterHandler
242 Registers a handler that will be called each time the
243 timer interrupt fires. TimerPeriod defines the minimum
244 time between timer interrupts, so TimerPeriod will also
245 be the minimum time between calls to the registered
248 @param SetTimerPeriod
249 Sets the period of the timer interrupt in 100 nS units.
250 This function is optional, and may return EFI_UNSUPPORTED.
251 If this function is supported, then the timer period will
252 be rounded up to the nearest supported timer period.
255 @param GetTimerPeriod
256 Retrieves the period of the timer interrupt in 100 nS units.
258 @param GenerateSoftInterrupt
259 Generates a soft timer interrupt that simulates the firing of
260 the timer interrupt. This service can be used to invoke the registered handler if the timer interrupt has been masked for
