Subject: [PATCH] ARM: fix delays
Date: Wed, 05 Oct 2016 23:56:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1brv6h-0003j7-7J@rmk-PC.armlinux.org.uk> (raw)

Commit 215e362dafed ("ARM: 8306/1: loop_udelay: remove bogomips value
limitation") tried to increase the bogomips limitation, but in doing
so messed up udelay such that it always gives about a 5% error in the
delay, even if we use a timer.

The calculation is:

	loops = UDELAY_MULT * us_delay * ticks_per_jiffy >> UDELAY_SHIFT

Originally, UDELAY_MULT was ((UL(2199023) * HZ) >> 11) and UDELAY_SHIFT
30.  Assuming HZ=100, us_delay of 1000 and ticks_per_jiffy of 1660000
(eg, 166MHz timer, 1ms delay) this would calculate:

	((UL(2199023) * HZ) >> 11) * 1000 * 1660000 >> 30
		=> 165999

With the new values of 2047 * HZ + 483648 * HZ / 1000000 and 31, we get:

	(2047 * HZ + 483648 * HZ / 1000000) * 1000 * 1660000 >> 31
		=> 158269

which is incorrect.  This is due to a typo - correcting it gives:

	(2147 * HZ + 483648 * HZ / 1000000) * 1000 * 1660000 >> 31
		=> 165999

i.o.w, the original value.
