x86/timer: Make delay() work during early bootup
When a panic happens during bootup, "Rebooting in X seconds.." is shown, but reboot happens immediatelly. It is because panic() uses mdelay() and mdelay() calls __const_udelay() immediately, which does not work while booting. The per_cpu cpu_info.loops_per_jiffy value is not initialized yet, so __const_udelay() actually multiplies the number of loops by zero. This results in __const_udelay() to delay the execution only by a nanosecond or so. So check whether cpu_info.loops_per_jiffy is zero and use loops_per_jiffy in that case. mdelay() will not be so precise without proper calibration, but it works relatively well. Before: [ 0.170039] delaying 100ms [ 0.170828] done After [ 0.214042] delaying 100ms [ 0.313974] done I do not think the added check matters given we are about to spin the processor in the next few hundred cycles.
