Subject: [PATCH] x86/acpi/cstate: Delete some unuseful operations for centaur
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 17:57:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1516701471-25374-1-git-send-email-davidwang@zhaoxin.com> (raw)

For Centaur CPU, the ucode will make sure that each cpu core can keep cache
coherency with each other when the CPU core entering to any C State. So the cache
flush operations when enter C3 is not necessary and will cause large C3 enter/exit
latency.
And the bus master disable operation when CPU core entering C3 state is not needed
too. Because the chipset will automatically do this operation.
