[PATCH v1 1/2] Revert "x86/smp: Eliminate mwait_play_dead_cpuid_hint()"
Posted by Rafael J. Wysocki 8 months, 2 weeks ago
From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Revert commit 96040f7273e2 ("x86/smp: Eliminate mwait_play_dead_cpuid_hint()")
because it introduced a significant power regression on systems that start
with "nosmt" in the kernel command line.

Namely, on such systems, SMT siblings permanently go offline early,
when cpuidle has not been initialized yet, so after the above commit,
hlt_play_dead() is called for them.  Later on, when the processor
attempts to enter a deep package C-state, including PC10 which is
requisite for reaching minimum power in suspend-to-idle, it is not
able to do that because of the SMT siblings staying in C1 (which
they have been put into by HLT).
