Hi all,
This is regarding select() system call.
Linux select() man page mentions " Some code calls select with all
three sets empty, n zero, and a non-null timeout as a fairly portable
way to sleep with subsecond precision".
This patch improves the sys_select() execution when used for delay.
Kindly suggest.
