we have the same problem decribed in 7d6b1daedd ("linux-user, ppc: mftbl can be used by user application") for ppc in the case of sparc.
When we use an application trying to resolve a name, it hangs in 0x00000000ff5dd40c: rd %tick, %o5 0x00000000ff5dd410: srlx %o5, 0x20, %o4 0x00000000ff5dd414: btst %o5, %g4 0x00000000ff5dd418: be %icc, 0xff5dd40c because %tick is staying at 0. As QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL is not available in linux-user mode, simply use cpu_get_host_ticks() instead.
