In a multi-cluster MIPS system, there are multiple GICs - one in each cluster - each of which has its independent counter. The counters in each GIC are not synchronized in any way, so they can drift relative to one another through the lifetime of the system. This is problematic for a clock source which ought to be global. Avoid problems by always accessing cluster 0's counter, using cross-cluster register access. This adds overhead so it is applied only on multi-cluster systems.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
