A control system for an engine includes a knock control module and a valve control module. The knock control module adjusts a period that one or more of an intake valve and an exhaust valve of a cylinder are open based on engine knock corresponding to the cylinder. The valve control module, based on the adjusted period, controls the one or more of the intake valve and the exhaust valve using one or more hydraulic actuators.

1. A control system for an engine, comprising: a knock control module that adjusts a period that one or more of an intake valve and an exhaust valve of a cylinder are open based on engine knock corresponding to the cylinder; anda valve control module that, based on the adjusted period, controls the one or more of the intake valve and the exhaust valve using one or more electro-hydraulic actuators,wherein the valve control module controls the one or more of the intake valve and the exhaust valve without a camshaft,wherein each of the one or more electro-hydraulic actuators includes: a hydraulic actuator;a valve;a return spring connected between the hydraulic actuator and the valve;an internal feedback system in fluid communication with the hydraulic actuator;a three-way solenoid in fluid communication with the internal feedback system, a first pressure rail, the valve, and a second pressure rail;a first two-way solenoid in fluid communication with the internal feedback system, the hydraulic actuator and a third pressure rail; anda second two-way solenoid in fluid communication with the valve and the third pressure rail, andwherein the second pressure rail supplies a higher pressure than the first pressure rail and wherein the third pressure rail supplies a lower pressure than the first pressure rail. 2. The control system of claim 1, wherein the knock control module decreases a period that the intake valve is open. 3. The control system of claim 1, wherein the knock control module increases a period that both the intake valve and exhaust valves are open. 4. The control system of claim 1, wherein the knock control module decreases a period that the exhaust valve is open. 5. The control system of claim 4, wherein the knock control module advances the period that the exhaust valve is open such that the exhaust valve closes earlier. 6. The control system of claim 1, wherein the knock control module adjusts the period that the one or more of the intake valve and the exhaust valve of the cylinder are open when the engine knock corresponding to the cylinder is greater than a predetermined knock threshold. 7. The control system of claim 1, wherein maximum brake torque (MBT) spark timing is commanded. 8. The control system of claim 1, wherein the engine is one of a spark ignition (SI) engine and a homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine. 9. A method for controlling an engine, comprising: adjusting a period that one or more of an intake valve and an exhaust valve of a cylinder are open based on engine knock corresponding to the cylinder; andbased on the adjusted period, controlling the one or more of the intake valve and the exhaust valve using one or more electro-hydraulic actuators, wherein the one or more of the intake valve and the exhaust valve are controlled without a camshaft,wherein the one or more electro-hydraulic actuators include: a hydraulic actuator;a valve;a return spring connected between the hydraulic actuator and the valve;an internal feedback system in fluid communication with the hydraulic actuator;a three-way solenoid in fluid communication with the internal feedback system, a first pressure rail, the valve, and a second pressure rail;a first two-way solenoid in fluid communication with the internal feedback system, the hydraulic actuator and a third pressure rail; anda second two-way solenoid in fluid communication with the valve and the third pressure rail, andwherein the second pressure rail supplies a higher pressure than the first pressure rail and wherein the third pressure rail supplies a lower pressure than the first pressure rail. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein adjusting the period that one or more of the intake valve and the exhaust valve of the cylinder are open includes decreasing a period that the intake valve is open. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein adjusting the period that one or more of the intake valve and the exhaust valve of the cylinder are open includes increasing a period that both the intake valve and exhaust valves are open. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein adjusting the period that one or more of the intake valve and the exhaust valve of the cylinder are open includes decreasing a period that the exhaust valve is open. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein decreasing the period that the exhaust valve is open includes advancing the period that the exhaust valve is open such that the exhaust valve closes earlier. 14. The method of claim 9, further comprising adjusting the period that the one or more of the intake valve and the exhaust valve of the cylinder are open when the engine knock corresponding to the cylinder is greater than a predetermined knock threshold. 15. The method of claim 9, further comprising commanding maximum brake torque (MBT) spark timing. 16. The method of claim 9, wherein the engine is one of a spark ignition (SI) engine and a homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine.
