Hi Daniel,
Please see my comments inline.
Btw. Please fix your e-mail composer to properly wrap your messages
around 7xth column, as otherwise they're hard to read.

The following driver is for exynos4210. I did not yet finished the
other boards, so
I created a specific driver for 4210 which could be merged later.
The driver is based on Colin Cross's driver found at:
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/exynos/+/e686b1ec67423c40b4fdf811f9a4dfa3b393a010%5E%5E!/
This one was based on a 3.4 kernel and an old API.
It has been refreshed, simplified and based on the recent code cleanup
I sent
today.
The AFTR could be entered when all the cpus (except cpu0) are down. In
order to
reach this situation, the couple idle states are used.
There is a sync barrier at the entry and the exit of the low power
function. So
all cpus will enter and exit the function at the same time.
At this point, CPU0 knows the other cpu will power down itself. CPU0
waits for
the CPU1 to be powered down and then initiate the AFTR power down
sequence.
No interrupts are handled by CPU1, this is why we switch to the timer
broadcast
even if the local timer is not impacted by the idle state.
When CPU0 wakes up, it powers up CPU1 and waits for it to boot. Then
they both
exit the idle function.
This driver allows the exynos4210 to have the same power consumption
at idle
time than the one when we have to unplug CPU1 in order to let CPU0 to
reach
the AFTR state.
This patch is a RFC because, we have to find a way to remove the macros
definitions and cpu powerdown function without pulling the arch
dependent
headers.

Otherwise, I quite like the whole idea. I need to play a bit with CPU
hotplug and PMU to verify that things couldn't really be simplified a
bit, but in general this looks reasonably.
Hi Tomasz,
did you have time to look at this simplification ?
Unfortunately I got preempted with other things to do and now I'm on
vacation. I worked a bit with Bart (added on CC) on this and generally
the conclusion was that all the things are necessary. He was also
working to extend the driver to support Exynos4x12.
Bart, has anything interesting showed up since we talked about this last
time?
Since we last looked into this I have fixed the "standard" AFTR support
for Exynos3250 and started to work on adding Exynos3250 support to this
driver (as Exynos3250 support has bigger priority than Exynos4x12 one).
Unfortunately I also got preempted with other things so it is still
unfinished and doesn't work yet. Moreover I had no possibility to test
the new driver on Exynos4210 based Origen yet (I hope to do this next
week).
I have tested this patch on Origen board (Exynos4210 rev 1.1) and it
causes system lockup (it seems that the code gets stuck on waiting for
CPU1 to wake up).
The kernels I have tried:
* current -next + this patch + few fixes to bring it up to date
* commit cd245f5 + this patch + some fixes
* next-20140403 + your Exynos cpuidle patch series + this patch
I have also tried with S5P_VA_SYSRAM replaced by S5P_INFORM5 to
match Exynos 4210 rev 1.1 but it didn't help.
U-Boot version used is:
U-Boot 2012.07 (Sep 22 2012 - 05:12:41) for ORIGEN
Could you please tell me which hardware/bootloader/kernel exactly
have you used to test this patch?
When I used it, it was on top of 3.15-rc1:
https://git.linaro.org/people/daniel.lezcano/linux.git/shortlog/refs/heads/cpuidle/samsung-next
The hardware was a exynos-4210 origen board ver A.
Also could you please port/retest your patch over the current -next?
Will do that in my free time after unstacking my emails after 2 weeks of
vacations :)
