Counting clock cycles under Arm Linux

["Malte Wienecke" <Malte.Wienecke@xxxxxx>]

Hi!

on my SBC2440-II board with an arm920t core I want to count the clock  
cycles or to measure time in an other very precise way in order to get  
the exact execution time.

I use the function gettimeofday() but for my purpose micro seconds not  
precise enough.

Can I use any couters or systemcalls to get more precise information  
or is there a way to use something semilar to the RDTSC on an x86?

Thanks for the help.
