Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 05/45] arm64: suspend: rely on daif helpers to handle PMR
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 17:34:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260727163453.7969-6-vladimir.murzin@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260727163453.7969-1-vladimir.murzin@arm.com>
From: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz@arm.com>
Commit 77345ef70445 ("arm64: suspend: Use cpuidle context helpers
in cpu_suspend()") added cpuidle helpers to handle PMR manipulation
and restoration to ensure that the CPU receives interrupts when suspended
and pseudo-NMIs are enabled.
However, those helpers are called in between a pair of `local_daif_save()`
and `local_daif_restore()`, which already configure the PMR as expected.
Effectively, `arm_cpuidle_save_irq_context()` is a no-op here,
even when using pseudo-NMIs, and `arm_cpuidle_restore_irq_context()`
would not restore proper interrupt masking configuration early enough
if there were unexpected changes during suspend or resume.
(This can be observed with Trusted Firmware A (TF-A) at EL3 handling
suspend through PSCI. Even though it should not be the case, TF-A can
reset `ICC_PMR_EL1` during CPU_SUSPEND, thus resuming the kernel
with an inconsistent priority mask value on hardware implementing
more than the minimum number of priority levels, such as Morello.)
Thus : remove the cpuidle context helpers as they do not do anything,
but keep the comment mentioning the need for interrupts to reach the CPU
if we are using pseudo-NMIs.
