[PATCH v4 0/2] make arm_cpuidle_suspend() a bit more efficient

[PATCH v4 0/2] make arm_cpuidle_suspend() a bit more efficient

[Jisheng Zhang]

There's one corner case need to be fixed: !cpuidle_ops[cpu].init.
patch1 tries to address this corner case.

patch2 tries to improve arm_cpuidle_suspend() a bit by moving .suspend
check into arm_cpuidle_read_ops().

Since v3:
 - rebased on 4.7-rc1

Since v2:
 - add back patch1.

Since v1:
 - drop patch1, I.E "ARM: cpuidle: fix !cpuidle_ops[cpu].init case
   during init", because there may be platforms which doesn't need the
   init member at all.
 - adopt Daniel's suggestion to move the cpuidle_ops.suspend check to
   arm_cpuidle_read_ops().

[PATCH v4 1/2] ARM: cpuidle: fix !cpuidle_ops[cpu].init case during init

[Jisheng Zhang]

Let's assume cpuidle_ops exists but it doesn't implement the according
init callback, current arm_cpuidle_init() will return success to its
caller, but in fact it should return -EOPNOTSUPP.

[PATCH v4 2/2] ARM: cpuidle: make arm_cpuidle_suspend() a bit more efficient

[Jisheng Zhang]

Currently, we check cpuidle_ops.suspend every time when entering a
low-power idle state. But this check could be avoided in this hot path
by moving it into arm_cpuidle_read_ops() to reduce arm_cpuidle_suspend
overhead a bit.

I'm not sure the upstream merging path this patch should follow, Per my
understanding, I need to put it into Russell's PATCH system.

Thanks in advance,

Got it. thanks.

Dear Arnd, Olof,

I have no pull request permission. what's your preference? Could you please
advise?

... and because arm-soc people haven't responded, they've now ended up
in the patch system... So I've applied them to my tree in a separate
branch.

Thanks!
