[RFC] arm: psci: implement cpuidle_ops

[Jisheng Zhang]

Hi all,

we'd like to use cpuidle-arm.c for both arm and arm64 with psci as backend. For
arm64, it works. But for arm, we miss cpuidle_ops. I want to add cpuidle_ops for
arm psci, I dunno whether this is the correct direction, could you please give
suggestions?

Thanks,
Jisheng

You should look at the macro

arch/arm/include/asm/cpuidle.h:

#define CPUIDLE_METHOD_OF_DECLARE(name, _method, _ops)

And more precisely, you can look at the code using it.

Thanks for this URL. I'll cook similar patches for arm psci cpuidle_ops.

Thanks

Yep, this is what I want to use. I want to use this MACRO to implement cpuidle_ops
for arm, but I dunno whether this is the correct direction. And I'd like to
reuse cpu_psci_cpu_init_idle() function in arch/arm64/kernel/psci.c to parse
the DT, but I'm not sure where to put cpu_psci_cpu_init_idle() so that can
be shared between arm and arm64. Also I noticed that there's a psci unification
work from Mark Rutland, does it make sense to put it in drivers/firmware/psci.c?

Thanks a lot,
Jisheng

I think cpu_psci_cpu_init_idle() should live in drivers/firmware/psci.c.
I also think that Lorenzo had an idea as to what should be done
regarding unifying the arm and arm64 approaches, but he's currently away
and I'm not all that familiar with cpuidle.

Thanks,
Mark.

Yes, PSCI idle states initialization must be common between arm and arm64,
and also cpu_psci_cpu_suspend now that the cpu_suspend() API was made
common.

The drivers/firmware PSCI implementation for those hooks can be used to
inizialize the respective arm/arm64 structures then, as highlighted
in this thread. I will review the series.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
