[PATCH 33/36] cpuidle,omap3: Use WFI for omap3_pm_idle()
Posted by Peter Zijlstra 2 years, 5 months ago
arch_cpu_idle() is a very simple idle interface and exposes only a
single idle state and is expected to not require RCU and not do any
tracing/instrumentation.

As such, omap_sram_idle() is not a valid implementation. Replace it
with the simple (shallow) omap3_do_wfi() call. Leaving the more
complicated idle states for the cpuidle driver.

I see similar code in omap2:

omap2_pm_idle()
 -> omap2_enter_full_retention()
     -> omap2_sram_suspend()

Is that code path safe to use without RCU or does it need a similar change?

It needs a similar change, clearly I was running on fumes to not have
found that when grepping around the omap code :/

Agreed it makes sense to limit deeper idle states to cpuidle. Hopefully
there is some informative splat for attempting to use arch_cpu_ide()
for deeper idle states :)

Seems like a similar change should be done for omap2. Then anybody who
cares to implement a minimal cpuidle support can do so.

Regards,

Tony

The arch_cpu_idle() interface doesn't allow one to express a desire for
deeper states. I'm not sure how anyone could even attempt this.

But given what OMAP needs to go deeper, this would involve things that
require RCU, combine that with the follow up patches that rip out all
the trace_.*_rcuidle() hackery from the power and clock domain code,
PROVE_RCU should scream if anybody were to attempt it.
