[PATCH] ARM: SMP: use a timing out completion for cpu hotplug

Russell King - ARM Linux linux at arm.linux.org.uk
Fri Jan 20 05:03:24 EST 2012


Rather than open-coding the jiffy-based wait, and polling for the
secondary CPU to come online, use a completion instead.  This
removes the need to poll, instead we will be notified when the
secondary CPU has initialized.
