It is interesting that you would mention TWD and UP implementations,
because "config HAVE_ARM_TWD" depends on SMP, as I mentioned in a
separate thread ("Dropping "depends on SMP" for HAVE_ARM_TWD").
Would it make sense to drop the dependency?
I have a single-core Cortex A9 MPcore system where I want to use
the local timers. If it's too much trouble changing the build
options, I suppose I can just run an SMP kernel?
Regards.
