+Subject: [PATCH] RISC-V: use RDTIME instead of RDCYCLE
+
+Starting with Linux 6.6 [1], RDCYCLE is a privileged instruction on
+RISC-V and can't be used directly from userland. There is a sysctl
+option to change that as a transition period, but it will eventually
+disappear.
+
+Use RDTIME instead, which while less accurate has the advantage of being
+synchronized between CPU (and thus monotonic) and of constant frequency.
