[PATCH v2 0/2] Fix cpuidle on qcom's THUMB2 kernels

[PATCH v2 0/2] Fix cpuidle on qcom's THUMB2 kernels

[Stephen Boyd]

I split this patch into two now that we have the cpu_resume_arm()
wrapper. The first patch could go through rmk's tree and then be
provided at some stable branch so that the second patch could go
through arm-soc. Or the two patches could go through arm-soc and
be squashed into one patch or stay split out. Either way, we have a
cross maintainer dependency here that needs to be resolved.

Changes from v1:
 * Add cpu_resume_arm() wrapper
 * New patch to fix up spm code to use new wrapper

[PATCH v2 1/2] ARM: Add cpu_resume_arm() for firmwares that resume in ARM state

[Stephen Boyd]

Some platforms always enter the kernel in the ARM state even if
the kernel is compiled for THUMB2. Add a small wrapper on top of
cpu_resume() that switches into THUMB2 state.

This fixes a problem reported by Kevin Hilman on next-20150601
where the ifc6410 fails to boot a THUMB2 kernel because the
platform's firmware always enters the kernel in ARM mode from
deep idle states.

I think this bit of the commit message isn't quite correct: this will
only resolve the boot problem with a T2 kernel when the failing platform
is converted to use the cpu_resume_arm() entry point.

Apart from that, the patch looks good to me, thanks.

Sure, it could say "This provides the functionality to fix a problem

Stephen, are you planning to submit this through Russell's patch
tracker?  or...

Russell, should we take this through arm-soc along with PATCH 2/2 which
depends on this one?

I'm happy to see it be applied by arm-soc maintainers directly given
that Russell said "the patch looks good to me". The commit text needs a
slight reword here though, so I can resubmit the patches to arm-soc if
you like.

Go ahead and respin/resubmit, and I can get them ready, but I'll wait
for an official word or acked-by from Russell before taking them both
through arm-soc.

I've suggested to Kevin that, as I have another patch outstanding for
arm-soc, that I take this one into that same branch and send Kevin a
pull for both patches.  (Esp. as I don't like sending single-patch
pull requests.  Having two patches solves my dilema!)

Stephen, if you can arrange for the patch to end up in the patch system
please...

Thanks.

Don't get me wrong, the build testing which goes on is really great, but
there's now a problem with all this.

There needs to be coordination between the people doing the build tests
to ensure that we don't "tire out" those who read the emails with different
groups of people reporting the same problem days after it was first
discovered, and even worse, days after it's been fixed.

The worst thing to do is to report build regressions on Monday for a tree
which was created on Thursday - by the time Monday comes around, projects
such as the 0-day builder have had plenty of time to find them.

Remember, the linux-next tree which is published on Friday (Austrailian
time) is a result of git trees snapshotted around midnight on Thursday.

So, if you're going to build an old linux-next tree, before you report any
problems, please check whether other build systems have already reported
them.  If you've gone to the trouble of tracking down the commit which
caused it, and therefore the likely git tree, check whether a fix has
already been merged.  Or maybe wait until the post-weekend linux-next is
published...

(The problem you're referring to was fixed and pushed out on Friday -
which seems to be a regular thing that happens with problems you've
reported on Mondays...)

I consulted Google (asking for the commit id) and checked the
linux-arm-kernel list for reports which usually works well enough.

But I understand your complaint, last time I introduced a build
regression I got two automatic reports and three times the same fix into
my mailbox. So I will try to be more careful in the future.

Best regards
Uwe

[PATCH v2 2/2] soc: qcom: spm: Fix idle on THUMB2 kernels

[Stephen Boyd]

The ifc6410 firmware always enters the kernel in ARM state from
deep idle. Use the cpu_resume_arm() wrapper instead of
cpu_resume() to property switch into the THUMB2 state when we
wake up from idle.

This fixes a problem reported by Kevin Hilman on next-20150601
where the ifc6410 fails to boot a THUMB2 kernel because the
platform's firmware always enters the kernel in ARM mode from
deep idle states.

Boot tested on top of next-20150602 using multi_v7_defconfig +
CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y on a handful of qcom 8x[678]4 platforms[1] 

These platforms were all failing to boot this config with plain
next-20150602[2] and are all booting fine with this series.
