Re: [PATCH 1/2] m68k: Add infrastructure for machine-specific get_cycles()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Geert Uytterhoeven dixit:

Currently get_cycles() always returns zero.  As get_cycles() is called to
add entropy to the random number generator pool, security can be increased

You rock for having something before MIPS ;-) (Note that other
architectures like CRIS are also affected… just, MIPS probably
has the broadest impact… even I have a FreeWRT WLAN AP.)

Sorry I can’t provide any feedback because I’m out of my depth on
both the hardware and the requirements aspect.

Sometimes they [people] care too much: pretty printers [and syntax highligh-

detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions
in English text in bold font.	-- Rob Pike in "Notes on Programming in C"
