Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] cyclic: reduce get_timer_us() calls inside hlist_for_each_entry_safe()
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 18:06:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706-optimize_cyclic_run-v3-2-06ecbd74ef7c@foss.st.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706-optimize_cyclic_run-v3-0-06ecbd74ef7c@foss.st.com>
On STM32MP157C-DK2, when using the "ums" command, in sleep_thread(),
ctrlc() is called every ~640ms which doesn't allows high reactivity when
user press CTRL+C in U-Boot console.
In sleep_thread() loop, ctrlc() is called every 200000 iterations.
But schedule is called on each loop iteration.
Optimize cyclic_run() in order to not call get_timer_us() on each entry.
This allow to save computation time :
_ before : ctrlc() is called every ~640ms
_ after : ctrlc() is called every ~230ms
