That is because all the other interrupts go through GPC, which means the cores will wake up on any other type (again, other than IPI). > IIUC, Marc, Lorenzo, and Rafael [1,2,3] all thought that that this was > not worthwhile. What's changed? The fact that this is done in the imx-gpcv2 driver and it's not spread around like the old RFC. Yes, I agree that fixing something like this from the core subsystems (like cpuidle) or irq-gic-v3 driver is a bad idea, but this is not the case anymore with this new RFC. > > Thanks, > Mark. > > [1] https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flkml.org%2Flkml%2F2019%2F3%2F28%2F197&data=02%7C01%7Cabel.vesa%40nxp.com%7C05d512f83dfa4d4f52d908d6eda64321%7C686ea1d3bc2b4c6fa92cd99c5c301635%7C0%7C1%7C636957695741584637&sdata=cA5UKbFuZHHnk1599lJi2QXCMTKxCJmPPzoBaRhbdCE%3D&reserved=0 > [2] https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flkml.org%2Flkml%2F2019%2F3%2F28%2F203&data=02%7C01%7Cabel.vesa%40nxp.com%7C05d512f83dfa4d4f52d908d6eda64321%7C686ea1d3bc2b4c6fa92cd99c5c301635%7C0%7C1%7C636957695741584637&sdata=TrWSY3eozWSd0KwZgIprmPazdDno979NqGnVjpdzi50%3D&reserved=0 > [3] https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flkml.org%2Flkml%2F2019%2F3%2F28%2F198&data=02%7C01%7Cabel.vesa%40nxp.com%7C05d512f83dfa4d4f52d908d6eda64321%7C686ea1d3bc2b4c6fa92cd99c5c301635%7C0%7C1%7C636957695741584637&sdata=ge%2FOXE40T6GSb0x1SmYFXtwLIdyVy1W0Yl0EItKyXNU%3D&reserved=0 > > > > > I also have the patches ready for TF-A but I'll hold on to them until I see if > > this has a chance of getting in. > > > > Abel Vesa (2): > > irqchip: irq-imx-gpcv2: Add workaround for i.MX8MQ ERR11171 > > arm64: dts: imx8mq: Add idle states and gpcv2 wake_request broken > > property > > > > arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mq.dtsi | 20 +++++++++++++++ > > drivers/irqchip/irq-imx-gpcv2.c | 42 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > > 2 files changed, 62 insertions(+) > > > > -- > > 2.7.4 > >
