[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 44/55] openrisc: start CPU timer early in boot

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

 



From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 516dd4aacd67a0f27da94f3fe63fe0f4dbab6e2b ]

In order to measure the boot process, the timer should be switched on as
early in boot as possible. As well, the commit defines the get_cycles
macro, like the previous patches in this series, so that generic code is
aware that it's implemented by the platform, as is done on other archs.
