From 3a608ca01d76e8cb90dcc8dc1a22cde98cdca3ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Glass Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:51:19 +0000 Subject: bootstage: Implement core microsecond boot time measurement This defines the basics of a new boot time measurement feature. This allows logging of very accurate time measurements as the boot proceeds, by using an available microsecond counter. To enable the feature, define CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE in your board config file. Also available is CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT which will cause a report to be printed just before handing off to the OS. Most IDs are not named at this stage. For that I would first like to renumber them all.
