[PATCH v4 3/7] ARM: architected timers: Add A15 specific sched_clock implementation

Marc Zyngier marc.zyngier at arm.com
Fri Apr 27 08:55:55 EDT 2012


Provide an A15 sched_clock implementation using the virtual counter,
which is thought to be more useful than the physical one in a
virtualised environment, as it can offset the time spent in another
VM or the hypervisor.
