From 37a7059bc4228613867645be50120aff17a162a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jayachandran C Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:12:00 +0000 Subject: MIPS: Netlogic: use preset loops per jiffy Doing calibrate delay on a hardware thread will be inaccurate since it depends on the load on other threads in the core. It will also slow down the boot process when done for 128 hardware threads. Switch to a pre-computed loops per jiffy based on the core frequency. The value is computed based on the core frequency and roughly matches the value calculated by calibrate_delay().
