This comment block was taken originally from the MIPS architecture code, where indeed there are particular assumptions one can make regarding SMP and !SMP and cycle counters. On LoongArch, however, the rdtime family of functions is always available. As Xuerui wrote: The rdtime family of instructions is in fact guaranteed to be available on LoongArch; LoongArch's subsets all contain them, even the 32-bit "Primary" subset intended for university teaching -- they provide the rdtimeh.w and rdtimel.w pair of instructions that access the same 64-bit counter. So this commit simply removes the incorrect comment block.

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 Restructured Text 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.
