Commit Message

Ola Liljedahl Jan. 8, 2015, 9:35 p.m. UTC
The timer API is updated according to
https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/document/d/1bfY_J8ecLJPsFTmYftb0NVmGnB9qkEc_NpcJ87yfaD8
A major change is that timers are allocated and freed separately from
timeouts being set and cancelled. The life-length of a timer normally
corresponds to the life-length of the associated stateful flow while
the life-length of a timeout corresponds to individual packets being
transmitted and received.
The reference timer implementation is lock-less for platforms with
support for 128-bit (16-byte) atomic exchange and CAS operations.
Otherwise a lock-based implementation (using as many locks as desired)
is used but some operations (e.g. reset reusing existing timeout buffer)
may still be lock-less.
Updated the example example/timer/odp_timer_test.c according to the
updated API.
