Subject: [PATCH V2] [ARM] Add ARCH_PROVIDES_UDELAY config option
Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2010 12:12:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1272654736-28837-1-git-send-email-ccross@android.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <>

On SMP kernels, the loops_per_jiffy value is not scaled due to the
possibility of one CPU affecting the speed of another CPU while the
second CPU is in a udelay loop.  Since loops_per_jiffy is calculated
once on boot for SMP kernels, udelays are too long if the CPU
frequency is scaled down from the boot frequency, or too short if the
frequency is scaled up.  Some SOCs have a timer with a constant tick
rate that can be used to time udelays, similar to the TSC on x86.
Provide a config flag to allow these SOCs to override the default
ARM udelay implementation.
