Time to send bring this to a larger audience. I'm working on getting dyntick and highres timer support working for MIPS. This unavoidably implies dumping most of the MIPS-private time infrastructure we've piled up over the past decade. Which really is a major crapectomy. A first cut of the patches which are tested to run well on uniprocessor and VSMP Malta kernels is at: ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/ralf/dyntick-quilt It will also likely work on various other simple systems. A more recent version of these patches which I haven't yet gotten around to test on silicon is available at: ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/ralf/linux-time.patches The patchset is both large and intrusive. One of the things that are still missing is support for additional clocksources and clockevent_devices. Particularly Alchemy (and any other system supporting clock scaling) will need some work there since the cp0 count/compare timer are not useful on such systems. Help with those would be greatly appreciated. Ralf
