Thanks. RPi4 and Juno use EmbeddedPkg/MetronomeDxe (https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/EmbeddedPkg/MetronomeDxe/Metronome.c#L54) which uses the PCD PcdMetronomeTickPeriod.

JunoPkg overrides that to 1000, while RPi4 uses the default of 100. Given that the clocks run at 50MHz and 54MHz, I think the tick period should be 1 (1 100-ns unit, giving a clock frequency of 10MHz)?

Rebecca,

gBS->Stall() is built on top [1] of the Metronome Architectural Protocol [2]. You should look at how the platform implements the Metronome Architectural Protocol.

It looks like most platform implement a generic Metronome Driver[3] that just sits on top of the platforms TimerLib [4] implementation.

You can find the TimerLib implementations via:

So I’d guess your platform is using the ArmArchTimerLi [5]. If that is the case I’d look at the value of PcdArmArchTimerFreqInHz if it is zero then I think you are running on the default ARM timer value.

If you are using the stock stuff and all your TimerLib instances are the same in all your drivers then the TimerLib is also abstraction the performance measure.

This is probably not helpful but the UEFI Spec defines that Stall() delays for at least the requested amount of time, with no upper bound on how long it can take.

I've been doing some work on USB and ended up realizing that gBS->Stall(1) is taking much longer than it should: on my Juno R2 it's stalling for 100 us, while on my Raspberry Pi 4 it's 10 us.

This appears to be causing a USB bulk transfer request that asks for a 1ms timeout taking 100ms on the Juno.

I'm measuring the delay with the following code:


UINT64 First = GetPerformanceCounter ();

gBS->Stall (XHC_1_MICROSECOND);

UINT64 Second = GetPerformanceCounter ();

UINT64 FirstNs = GetTimeInNanoSecond (First);
UINT64 SecondNs = GetTimeInNanoSecond (Second);

DEBUG ((DEBUG_INFO, "Stalled for %llu ns (%llu ms)\n", (SecondNs - FirstNs), (SecondNs - FirstNs) / 1024 / 1024));



I see output such as:

Stalled for 10500 ns (0 ms)
