Subject: quick question on 64-bit values with 32-bit inline assembly
Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2008 12:09:37 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4794DFE1.5040805@nortel.com> (raw)
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
