Subject: [PATCH 3/3] arm64: Convert __delay_cycles() to arch_timer_read_vcounter()
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 08:22:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226082234.26707-4-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260226082234.26707-1-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.
