From b565201cf75210614903ef2ae5917b4379681647 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jack Steiner Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:33:56 -0800 Subject: x86: Reduce clock calibration time during slave cpu startup Reduce the startup time for slave cpus. Adds hooks for an arch-specific function for clock calibration. These hooks are used on x86. If a newly started cpu has the same phys_proc_id as a core already active, uses the TSC for the delay loop and has a CONSTANT_TSC, use the already-calculated value of loops_per_jiffy. This patch reduces the time required to start slave cpus on a 4096 cpu system from: 465 sec OLD 62 sec NEW This reduces boot time on a 4096p system by almost 7 minutes. Nice...
