[PATCH 1/2] m68k: Add infrastructure for machine-specific get_cycles()

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Mon Sep 09 2013 - 15:26:23 EST


Currently get_cycles() always returns zero. As get_cycles() is called to
add entropy to the random number generator pool, security can be increased
by adding a hook where platforms can provide their own implementation.
