From 9c9b415c50bc298ac61412dff856eae2f54889ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ralf Baechle Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 13:47:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Reimplement get_cycles(). This essentially reverts commit efb9ca08b5a2374b29938cdcab417ce4feb14b54 (kernel.org) / 58020a106879a8b372068741c81f0015c9b0b96dbv [[MIPS] Change get_cycles to always return 0.] Most users of get_cycles() invoke it as a timing interface. That's why in modern kernels it was never very much missed for. /dev/random however uses get_cycles() in the how the jitter in the interrupt timing contains some useful entropy.
