<p dir="auto" style="color: #3a383f; margin: 0px 0px 1rem;" align="initial">A write to the interrupt status register of the AXI interrupt controller raises
an interrupt in software, but only while the hardware interrupt enable of the
master enable register is clear. That enable is write once on some
implementations, so a probe decides which mechanism the BSP uses.</p>

<code style="font-size: 90%; color: #18171d; word-wrap: break-word; background-color: #ececef; border-radius: .25rem; font-weight: inherit; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: break-spaces; font-family: "GitLab Mono", "JetBrains Mono", "Menlo", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Liberation Mono", "Consolas", "Ubuntu Mono", "Courier New", "andale mono", "lucida console", monospace; font-variant-ligatures: none; word-break: keep-all; padding: 0.125rem 0.25rem;">rtems_counter_delay_nanoseconds()</code> therefore delays by a count of calls and
<code style="font-size: 90%; color: #18171d; word-wrap: break-word; background-color: #ececef; border-radius: .25rem; font-weight: inherit; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: break-spaces; font-family: "GitLab Mono", "JetBrains Mono", "Menlo", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Liberation Mono", "Consolas", "Ubuntu Mono", "Courier New", "andale mono", "lucida console", monospace; font-variant-ligatures: none; word-break: keep-all; padding: 0.125rem 0.25rem;">getentropy()</code> takes no entropy from the time. The AXI timer has two counters
and the clock driver uses the first, so the second can be a free running up
counter of the full width.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #3a383f; margin: 0px 0px 1rem;" align="initial"><code style="font-size: 90%; color: #18171d; word-wrap: break-word; background-color: #ececef; border-radius: .25rem; margin-top: 0px; font-weight: inherit; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: break-spaces; font-family: "GitLab Mono", "JetBrains Mono", "Menlo", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Liberation Mono", "Consolas", "Ubuntu Mono", "Courier New", "andale mono", "lucida console", monospace; font-variant-ligatures: none; word-break: keep-all; padding: 0.125rem 0.25rem;">spcpucounter01</code> passed on this BSP only because the delay it measures and the
counter it measures with were the same fiction. With a real counter it fails on
Qemu. The counter is a register of the AXI timer, and Qemu takes the tick
interrupt later out of a loop which reads that register than out of the poll
loop the test synchronizes with. The test busy waits exactly one clock tick
period and asserts that a tick elapsed, so it has no margin for the difference.
Two defects of the Qemu AXI timer model were found and fixed while measuring
this, and neither is part of this issue.</p>
