This patch aims to fix idle routine while the CPU receive an interrupt, because __r4k_wait() only checks if TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set before going to sleep. The same behavior has been changed in LoongArch [1]. Code (cross) compiled successfully and I manage to test it on a VM emulating a malta board. I ran QEMU with: qemu-system-mips64el -M malta -m 2G -kernel vmlinux -serial stdio -drive \ file=rootfs.ext2,format=raw -append "rootwait root=/dev/sda" -cpu 5Kc rootfs generated using buildroot (malta default configuration). - [1] https://github.com/chenhuacai/linux/commit/a8aa673ea46c03b3f62992ffa4ffe810ac84f6e3 --- Changes in v3: - changed "daddiu k0, 1" with PTR_ADDIU k0, 5 - replaced CONFIG_CPU_MICROMIPS with 3 _ssnop followed by _ehb - integrated the commit message with explanation about CONFIG_CPU_MICROMIPS replacement Changes in v2: - Changes introduced by Huacai: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mips/20250214105047.150835-1-marco.crivellari@xxxxxxxx/T/#m75d9c587829e15e0d7baec13078be4e65c936408 Marco Crivellari (1): MIPS: Fix idle VS timer enqueue arch/mips/kernel/genex.S | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++++------------------ arch/mips/kernel/idle.c | 1 - 2 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) -- 2.48.1
