Subject: [RFC 0/2] Speed large x86_64 system boot by calling calibrate_delay() in parallel.
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
List-ID: <linux-kernel.vger.kernel.org>
X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org


On a 4096 cpu machine, we spend a little more than five minutes of the boot
within calibrate_delay().  By doing this work in parallel, we reduce the
time to one minute.
