Subject: [PATCH] x86, UV: Remove UV delay in starting slave cpus
Date: Fri, 5 Aug 2011 09:09:00 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110805140900.GA6774@sgi.com> (raw)
Delete the 10 msec delay between the INIT and SIPI when starting slave
cpus. I can find no requirement for this delay. BIOS also has similar code
sequences without the delay.
Removing the delay reduces boot time by 40 sec. Every bit helps.
