Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86: Add cmdline "cpu_init_udelay=N" to specify cpu_up() delay
Date: Fri, 8 May 2015 13:48:06 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3f51dfd7de5bf660b62d01216edce41b0904fddf.1431106775.git.len.brown@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1431107287-22022-1-git-send-email-lenb@kernel.org>
From: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
No change to default behavior.
Replace the hard-coded mdelay(10) in cpu_up() with a variable udelay,
that is set to a defined default -- rather than a magic number.
Add a boot-time override, "cpu_init_udelay=N"
Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
