From 2d99af8e8fd6c2dea11ab539f7aba69c37b845b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Len Brown Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2015 11:45:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] x86/smpboot: Remove udelay(100) when polling cpu_callin_map MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit After the BSP sends INIT/SIPI/SIP to the AP and sees the AP in the cpu_initialized_map, it sets the AP loose via the cpu_callout_map, and waits for it via the cpu_callin_map. The BSP polls the cpu_callin_map with a udelay(100) and a schedule() in each iteration. The udelay(100) adds no value. For example, on my 4-CPU dekstop, the AP finishes cpu_callin() in under 70 usec and sets the cpu_callin_mask. The BSP, however, doesn't see that setting until over 30 usec later, because it was still running its udelay(100) when the AP finished. Deleting the udelay(100) in the cpu_callin_mask polling loop, saves from 0 to 100 usec per Application Processor.
