           <li>Added support in the kernel and libc for timecounting in
           userland, eliminating the need for a context switch everytime a
           process requests the current time, thereby improving speed and
           responsiveness in programs which make many <a
           href="https://man.openbsd.org/gettimeofday">gettimeofday(2)</a> calls,
           especially browsers and office software.<br>The userland timecounters
           are enabled on the amd64, arm64, macppc, octeon and sparc64
           architectures.<span style="color:red;">verify architectures</span>
   
         <li>Set <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ddb">ddb(4)</a> "/t" to show a trace via TID on all architectures.          <li>Set <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ddb">ddb(4)</a> "/t" to show a trace via TID on all architectures.
