[patch 36/38] sparc: Select ARCH_HAS_RANDOM_ENTROPY for SPARC64
From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Fri Apr 10 2026 - 08:45:54 EST
The only remaining usage of get_cycles() is to provide random_get_entropy().
Switch sparc over to the new scheme of selecting ARCH_HAS_RANDOM_ENTROPY
and providing random_get_entropy() in asm/random.h.
Remove asm/timex*.h as it has no functionality anymore.
