From b519508298e0292e1771eecf14aaf67755adc39d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:23:30 -0800 Subject: clocksource: Load the ACPI PM clocksource asynchronously The ACPI clocksource takes quite some time to initialize, and this increases the boot time of the kernel for a double digit percentage. This while almost all modern systems will be using the HPET already anyway. This patch turns the clocksource loading into an asynchronous operation; which means it won't hold up the boot while still becoming available normally. To make this work well, an udelay() had to be turned into an usleep_range() so that on UP systems, we yield the CPU to regular boot tasks instead of spinning.
