The RISC-V architecture makes a real time counter CSR (via RDTIME instruction) available for applications in U-mode but there is no architected mechanism for an application to discover the frequency the counter is running at. Some applications (e.g., DPDK) use the time counter for basic performance analysis as well as fine grained time-keeping. Add support to the hwprobe system call to export the time CSR frequency to code running in U-mode.
