Loops-per-jiffies is a special number which represents a number of noop-loop cycles per CPU-scheduler quantum - jiffies. As you understand aside from CPU-specific implementation it depends on the CPU frequency. So when a platform has the CPU frequency fixed, we have no problem and the current udelay interface will work just fine. But as soon as CPU-freq driver is enabled and the cores frequency changes, we'll end up with distorted udelay's. In order to fix this we have to accordinly adjust the per-CPU udelay_val (the same as the global loops_per_jiffy) number. This can be done in the CPU-freq transition event handler. We subscribe to that event in the MIPS arch time-inititalization method.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
