Are you pointing at the scaling of loops_per_jiffy done in that function?
As I wrote earlier:
If I'm reading arch/arm/kernel/smp.c correctly, loops_per_jiffy is scaled
when the frequency changes.
But arch/arm/lib/delay-loop.S starts by loading the current value of
loops_per_jiffy, computes the number of times to loop, and then loops.
If the frequency increases when the core is in __loop_delay, the
delay will be much shorter than requested.
