From 9649814432faa9016952895684120942da0d8481 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Hogan Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2013 15:03:05 +0100 Subject: metag: smp: don't spin waiting for CPU to start 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.
