All,
The following message thread
is present in the Linux-Mips archives regarding the use of gettimeofday on
Broadcom MIPS systems. http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2006-01/msg00144.html
The message thread specifically addresses the Dual-core Broadcom 1250 system,
and the kernel version mentioned in the message thread is 2.6.12. I looked at
the files mentioned in the message thread in the 2.6.17 kernel, and the changes
suggested for arch/mips/dec/time.c were present in 2.6.17. However, the
subsequent patches suggested in the message thread were not present in the
version of the 2.6.17 kernel I checked. We’d like to ask if the patches
suggested in the message thread have been observed to influence performance
numbers obtained by other Linux system developers for Quad-core Broadcom 1480
systems? If so, do the Linux-Mips developers suggest that we apply the patches
suggested in the message thread for our Broadcom 1480 MIPS specific Linux
2.6.17 system implementation?
Thanks,
Gary
