Hello! I'm not sending a patch, just asking a question. There is no clock event support on SPARC32, but it's possible to implement it. The plan is to use local timers as periodic and one-shot clock events, while global timer is a continuous clock source. It ticks and increases internal counter of tick number every 2 seconds (it's possible to use more, but I use a round number). The number "counter * size_of_tick + master_l10_counter" gives us the continuous clocksource. The only problem is a fact that LEON doesn't have a master_l10_counter, but it's possible to use HZ-lenght clocksource for this case. If we get clocksource support, we'll get HIGH_RES_TIMERS. So, the question is "will this feature be useful for SPARC?". I did the same on 2.6.33 for my work, I can do this for version 3.*.
