Subject: [patch V5 29/39] x86/microcode: Sanitize __wait_for_cpus()
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2023 23:24:03 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231017211723.577159633@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20231017200758.877560658@linutronix.de
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
The code is too complicated for no reason:
- The return value is pointless as this is a strict boolean.
- It's way simpler to count down from num_online_cpus() and check for
zero.
- The timeout argument is pointless as this is always one second.
- Touching the NMI watchdog every 100ns does not make any sense, neither
does checking every 100ns. This is really not a hotpath operation.
Preload the atomic counter with the number of online CPUs and simplify the
whole timeout logic. Delay for one microsecond and touch the NMI watchdog
once per millisecond.
