[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 04/12] eal/arm: cpu cycle operations for ARM

Jan Viktorin viktorin at rehivetech.com
Sat Oct 3 10:58:10 CEST 2015


From: Vlastimil Kosar <kosar at rehivetech.com>

ARM architecture doesn't have a suitable source of CPU cycles. This
patch uses clock_gettime instead. The implementation should be improved
in the future.
