Subject: [PATCH 3/5] metag: smp: don't spin waiting for CPU to start
Date: Mon, 1 Jul 2013 17:04:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1372694659-30176-4-git-send-email-james.hogan@imgtec.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1372694659-30176-1-git-send-email-james.hogan@imgtec.com>

Use a completion to block until a secondary CPU has started up, like ARM
do, instead of a loop of udelays.

On Meta, SMP is really SMT, with each "CPU" being a different hardware
thread on the same Meta processor core, so as well as being more
efficient and latency friendly, using a completion prevents the bogomips
of the secondary CPU from being drastically skewed every time by the
execution of the tight in-cache udelay loop on the other CPU.
