We want to be able to report the input event as soon as the debounce delay elapsed. However, the current code does not really ensure that, as it uses the jiffies-based schedule_delayed_work() API. With a small enough HZ value (HZ <= 100), this results in some input events being lost, when a key is quickly pressed then released (on a human's time scale). Switching to hrtimers fixes this issue, and will work even on extremely low HZ values (tested at HZ=24). This is however only possible if reading the GPIO is possible without sleeping. If this condition is not met, the previous approach of using a jiffies-based timer is taken.

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.
