[PATCH v7 09/10] arm64: support cpuidle-haltpoll

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add architectural support for cpuidle-haltpoll driver by defining
arch_haltpoll_*().

Also define ARCH_CPUIDLE_HALTPOLL to allow cpuidle-haltpoll to be
selected, and given that we have an optimized polling mechanism
in smp_cond_load*(), select ARCH_HAS_OPTIMIZED_POLL.

smp_cond_load*() are implemented via LDXR, WFE, with LDXR loading
a memory region in exclusive state and the WFE waiting for any
stores to it.

In the edge case -- no CPU stores to the waited region and there's no
interrupt -- the event-stream will provide the terminating condition
ensuring we don't wait forever, but because the event-stream runs at
a fixed frequency (configured at 10kHz) we might spend more time in
the polling stage than specified by cpuidle_poll_time().

This would only happen in the last iteration, since overshooting the
poll_limit means the governor moves out of the polling stage.
