get_cycles() is used in some places as one part of the seed for the kernel PRNG. This backports the following commit from mainline linux kernel: 9c9b415c50bc298ac61412dff856eae2f54889ee Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de> SVN-Revision: 38834

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.
