Hi all,We're running a 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userspace. We've got some code that is trying to get a 64-bit timestamp in userspace. The following code seems to work fine in the kernel but in userspace it appears to be swapping the two words in the result.
gethrtime(void)
{
unsigned long long result;
asm volatile ("rdhwr %0,$31" : "=r" (result));
return result;
}
Do I need to do something special because userspace is 32-bit? If so,
can someone point me to a reference?
Thanks, Chris Friesen |
