Dou Liyang ca7c6076ba x86/ioapic: Refactor the delay logic in timer_irq_works()
timer_irq_works() is used to detects the timer IRQs. It calls mdelay(10) to
delay ten ticks and check whether the timer IRQ work or not.

mdelay() depends on the loops_per_jiffy which is set up in
calibrate_delay(), but the delay calibration depends on a working timer
interrupt, which causes a chicken and egg problem.

The correct solution is to set up the interrupt mode and making sure that
the timer interrupt is delivered correctly before invoking calibrate_delay().
That means that mdelay() cannot be used in timer_irq_works(). 

Provide helper functions to make a rough delay estimate which is good enough
to prove that the timer interrupt is working. Either use TSC or a simple
delay loop and assume that 4GHz is the maximum CPU frequency to base the
delay calculation on.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
