sparc64: Use NMI oprofile profiling on cheetah and derivative cpus.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We use clock cycle counter, adjusted to HZ.

This can be extended to sun4v based processors as well, as they
also have a proper overflow interrupt facility for the performance
counters.
