On SAM9 hardware two cascaded 16 bit timers are used to form a 32 bit high resolution timer that is used as scheduler clock when the kernel has been configured that way (CONFIG_ATMEL_CLOCKSOURCE_TCB). The driver initially triggers a reset-to-zero of the two timers but this reset is only performed on the next rising clock. For the first timer this is ok - it will be in the next 60ns (16MHz clock). For the chained second timer this will only happen after the first timer overflows, i.e. after 2^16 clocks (~4ms with a 16MHz clock). So with other words the scheduler clock resets to 0 after the first 2^16 clock cycles. It looks like that the scheduler does not like this and behaves wrongly over its lifetime, e.g. some tasks are scheduled with a long delay. Why that is and if there are additional requirements for this behaviour has not been further analysed. There is a simple fix for resetting the second timer as well when the first timer is reset and this is to set the ATMEL_TC_ASWTRG_SET bit in the Channel Mode register (CMR) of the first timer. This will also rise the TIOA line (clock input of the second timer) when a software trigger respective SYNC is issued.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
