That's actually platform-specific. If there's only one possible clocksource, that'd be the normal answer. Otherwise, there can be multiple clocksources just like any other architecture. Maybe there's an always-present 32 KHz counter, and a bank of timers that can run at higher frequences ... but those may not be available for timekeeping on all boards, maybe because they're used for something else (motor control, etc) or because the system has prioritized battery life over timestamp precision. So don't assume any platform doesn't use clocksource initcalls. - Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
