Yes, my smart phone use Qualcomm's 8x25 and 8064 platform, which can
scale the CPU frequencies independently. I test the delay loop, the
phone can't get accurate delayed time intervals. I think there are
four reasons: the task scheduling, IRQ handling, memory accessing, and
udelay may be called between CPU frequency changing and
loops_per_jiffy changing. The system's performance decreased greatly
after adding preempt_{enable, disable}.
I used the current timer to delay a time period at last, the timer's
frequency is constant.
