| |
The get_monotonic_cycles needs to produce a monotonic counter as output.
This patch adds a cycle_raw to produce an accumulative counter. Unfortunately there is already an cycle_accumulate variable, but that is used to avoid clock source overflow and can also be decremented (probably that name should be changed and we should use that for this patch).
