Hello,

we port currently the FreeBSD timecounters to the RTEMS real-time=20
operating system.

https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/2271

On FreeBSD the uptime starts with one second. On RTEMS the uptime starts=20
with zero seconds. I would like to preserve the existing behaviour and=20
it would be easy to adjust kern_tc.c accordingly. The problem is that we=20
also use the FreeBSD network stack and it uses for example=20
(microuptime()). Has a uptime value of zero a special meaning inside the=20
kernel so that we must not start at zero?

--=20
