From: Mandeep Singh Baines <msb@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Saves one register read. Note that the upper count only changes every ~178 seconds with a 24MHz source clock, so it's likely it hasn't changed from call to call. Before: 1323852 us for 1000000 gettimeofday in userspace After: 1173084 us for 1000000 gettimeofday in userspace Note that even with this change the CPU is in exynos_frc_read() more than 2% of the time in real world profiles of ChromeOS. That indicates that it's important to optimize.
