Linux下timer延时的使用

因笔者工作在嵌入式平台上（非x386），下面给出的结论仅在arm平台上测试过。

1. 在原子上下文，延迟应该少于100微秒。

使用udelay

2. 在非原子上下文延迟的使用

0-100us： 使用udelay

100us以上： 使用usleep_range

20ms以上且不要求精确： 使用msleep

msleep不精确，完全可以用usleep_range代替。

可以参考的文档：Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt

下面是在Freescale i.mx6Q (arm Cortex A9, 1.0Ghz, Qual-core)平台上的测试结果，

使用的内核版本是： 3.7.0-rc1+
