[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v10 2/3] eal: deduplicate timer functions

Thomas Monjalon thomas.monjalon at 6wind.com
Mon Jul 27 02:56:33 CEST 2015


From: Ravi Kerur <rkerur at gmail.com>

Move common functions from BSD/Linux to eal_common_timer.c.
BSD uses sysctl and Linux uses CLOCK_MONOTIC_RAW to calibrate TSC.
HPET is specific to Linux and not integrated in the common init.
