Subject: [v7 PATCH 1/7]: cpuidle: cleanup drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle.c
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 20:56:05 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091006152605.GB7278@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091006152421.GA7278@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-10-06 20:54:21]:

This patch cleans up drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle.c
Earlier cpuidle assumed pm_idle as the default idle loop. Break that
assumption and make it more generic. cpuidle_idle_call() which is the
main idle loop of cpuidle is to be called by architectures which have
registered to cpuidle.

Remove routines cpuidle_install/uninstall_idle_handler() and
cpuidle_kick_cpus() which are not needed anymore.

Subject: [v7 PATCH 1/7]: cpuidle: cleanup drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle.c
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 20:56:05 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091006152605.GB7278@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091006152421.GA7278@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-10-06 20:54:21]:

This patch cleans up drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle.c
Earlier cpuidle assumed pm_idle as the default idle loop. Break that
assumption and make it more generic. cpuidle_idle_call() which is the
main idle loop of cpuidle is to be called by architectures which have
registered to cpuidle.

Remove routines cpuidle_install/uninstall_idle_handler() and
cpuidle_kick_cpus() which are not needed anymore.
