Agree. MTIME isn't even a thing defined in RISC-V ISA -- it's part of the ACLINT timer spec, but before ACLINT gets widely accepted, it's just some SiFive thing that got copied by many other vendors (and vendors such as T-Head even provides CLINT w/o MTIME register (well because these T-Head cores have reference source code available, this is because of their CPU design uses an external counter fed as TIME register)). > > Jess > > > _______________________________________________ > linux-riscv mailing list > linux-riscv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-riscv
