Hi, oldhands:)
I have a question about how loops_per_jiffy converted to BogoMips,
loops_per_jiffy * HZ <----------- that's number of instructions CPU executes in a second
BogoMips <-------------------------- Millions of instructions CPU executes in a second
so , do the math!
(loops_per_jiffy * HZ)/1000,000 will give a BogoMips value.
then why calibrate_delay do it like the following:
printk(KERN_CONT "%lu.%02lu BogoMIPS (lpj=%lu)\n",
loops_per_jiffy/(500000/HZ),
(loops_per_jiffy/(5000/HZ)) % 100, loops_per_jiffy);
Am I missing something ?
Great thanks for any tips!
