Thanks a lot for this patch. We've tested it and so far it's working fine.

Ok, I have to build all BSPs before I can check it in.

However we have a couple of questions:

1) Is there a reason why you're using the ARMV7M_Timecounter struct instead of
simply having a global boolean like we did in our patch? That pointer casting
trick seems a bit unsafe.

Its probably more efficient and this is the standard way to do object orient stuff in C.


2) I saw you're using rtems_interrupt_disable/enable instead of
Timecounter_Acquire/Release. Is there any particular reason for this?

I don't want to expose the _Timecounter_Acquire() to the BSP level. This rtems_interrupt_disable/enable is fine on uni-processor systems. On SMP systems, the simple timecounter doesn't work.
