Subject: [PATCH v3 8/8] arm64: Convert __delay_cycles() to arch_timer_read_vcounter()
Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2026 17:53:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260802165327.385217-9-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260802165327.385217-1-maz@kernel.org>
Relax the need for disabling preemption in __delay_cycles() by
using arch_timer_read_vcounter(), which will disable preemption
only when this is actually required.
Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
