* tmk_core/common: Fixing TIMER_DIFF macro to calculate difference correctly after the timer wraps.
Let's go through an example, using the following macro:
If the first timer read is 0xe4 and the second one is 0x32, the timer wrapped.
If the timer would have had more bits, it's new value would have been 0x132,
and the correct difference in time is 0x132 - 0xe4 = 0x4e
old code TIMER_DIFF_8(0x32, 0xe4) = 0xff - 0xe4 + 0x32 = 0x4d, which is wrong.
new code TIMER_DIFF_8(0x32, 0xe4) = 0xff + 1 - 0xe4 + 0x32 = 0x4e, which is correct.
This also gives a chance for a smart compiler to optimize the code using normal
integer overflow.
For example on AVR, the following C code:
uint8_t __attribute__ ((noinline)) test(uint8_t current_timer, uint8_t start_timer)
{
return TIMER_DIFF_8(current_timer, start_timer);
}
With the original code, it gets translated to the following list of instructions:
00004c6e <test>:
4c6e: 98 2f mov r25, r24
4c70: 86 1b sub r24, r22
4c72: 96 17 cp r25, r22
4c74: 08 f4 brcc .+2 ; 0x4c78 <test+0xa>
4c76: 81 50 subi r24, 0x01 ; 1
4c78: 08 95 ret
But with this commit, it gets translated to a single instruction:
00004c40 <test>:
4c40: 86 1b sub r24, r22
4c42: 08 95 ret
This unfortunately doesn't always work so nicely, for example the following C code:
int __attribute__ ((noinline)) test(uint8_t current_timer, uint8_t start_timer)
{
return TIMER_DIFF_8(current_timer, start_timer);
}
(Note: return type changed to int)
With the original code it gets translated to:
00004c6e <test>:
4c6e: 28 2f mov r18, r24
4c70: 30 e0 ldi r19, 0x00 ; 0
4c72: 46 2f mov r20, r22
4c74: 50 e0 ldi r21, 0x00 ; 0
4c76: 86 17 cp r24, r22
4c78: 20 f0 brcs .+8 ; 0x4c82 <test+0x14>
4c7a: c9 01 movw r24, r18
4c7c: 84 1b sub r24, r20
4c7e: 95 0b sbc r25, r21
4c80: 08 95 ret
4c82: c9 01 movw r24, r18
4c84: 84 1b sub r24, r20
4c86: 95 0b sbc r25, r21
4c88: 81 50 subi r24, 0x01 ; 1
4c8a: 9f 4f sbci r25, 0xFF ; 255
4c8c: 08 95 ret
Wth this commit it gets translated to:
00004c40 <test>:
4c40: 28 2f mov r18, r24
4c42: 30 e0 ldi r19, 0x00 ; 0
4c44: 46 2f mov r20, r22
4c46: 50 e0 ldi r21, 0x00 ; 0
4c48: 86 17 cp r24, r22
4c4a: 20 f0 brcs .+8 ; 0x4c54 <test+0x14>
4c4c: c9 01 movw r24, r18
4c4e: 84 1b sub r24, r20
4c50: 95 0b sbc r25, r21
4c52: 08 95 ret
4c54: c9 01 movw r24, r18
4c56: 84 1b sub r24, r20
4c58: 95 0b sbc r25, r21
4c5a: 93 95 inc r25
4c5c: 08 95 ret
There is not much performance improvement in this case, however at least with this
commit it functions correctly.
Note: The following commit will improve compiler output for the latter example.
* tmk_core/common: Improve code generation for TIMER_DIFF* macros
Because of integer promotion the compiler is having a hard time generating
efficient code to calculate TIMER_DIFF* macros in some situations.
In the below example, the return value is "int", and this is causing the
trouble.
Example C code:
int __attribute__ ((noinline)) test(uint8_t current_timer, uint8_t start_timer)
{
return TIMER_DIFF_8(current_timer, start_timer);
}
BEFORE: (with -Os)
00004c40 <test>:
4c40: 28 2f mov r18, r24
4c42: 30 e0 ldi r19, 0x00 ; 0
4c44: 46 2f mov r20, r22
4c46: 50 e0 ldi r21, 0x00 ; 0
4c48: 86 17 cp r24, r22
4c4a: 20 f0 brcs .+8 ; 0x4c54 <test+0x14>
4c4c: c9 01 movw r24, r18
4c4e: 84 1b sub r24, r20
4c50: 95 0b sbc r25, r21
4c52: 08 95 ret
4c54: c9 01 movw r24, r18
4c56: 84 1b sub r24, r20
4c58: 95 0b sbc r25, r21
4c5a: 93 95 inc r25
4c5c: 08 95 ret
AFTER: (with -Os)
00004c40 <test>:
4c40: 86 1b sub r24, r22
4c42: 90 e0 ldi r25, 0x00 ; 0
4c44: 08 95 ret
Note: the example is showing -Os but improvements can be seen at all optimization levels,
including -O0. We never use -O0, but I tested it to make sure that no extra code is
generated in that case.OA
* quantum/debounce: Fix custom wrapping timers in eager_pr and eager_pk debounce algorithms
Please see the below simulated sequence of events:
Column A is the 16-bit value returned by read_timer();
Column B is the value returned by custom_wrap_timer_read();
Column C is the original code: (timer_read() % MAX_DEBOUNCE)

read_timer() wraps about every 1.09 seconds, and so debouncing might
fail at these times without this commit.

Debounce algorithms belong in this folder. Here are a few ideas
- Global vs Per-Key vs Per-Row
- Global - one timer for all keys. Any key change state affects global timer
- Per key - one timer per key
- Per row - one timer per row
- Eager vs symmetric vs asymmetric
- Eager - any key change is reported immediately. All further inputs for DEBOUNCE ms are ignored.
- Symmetric - wait for no changes for DEBOUNCE ms before reporting change
- Asymmetric - wait for different times depending on key-down/key-up. E.g. Eager key-down, DEBOUNCE ms key up.
- Timestamp vs cycles
- old old old code waits n cycles, decreasing count by one each matrix_scan
- newer code stores the millisecond the change occurred, and does subraction to figure out time elapsed.
- Timestamps are superior, i don't think cycles will ever be used again once upgraded.
The default algorithm is symmetric and global. Here are a few that could be implemented:
sym_g.c sym_pk.c sym_pr.c sym_pr_cycles.c eager_g.c eager_pk.c eager_pr.c //could be used in ergo-dox!
