[PATCH v2 0/2] Fix S0i3 wakeup with alarmtimer

[Mario Limonciello]

It was reported that suspend-then-hibernate stopped working with modern
systemd versions on AMD Cezanne systems. The reason for this breakage
was because systemd switched to using alarmtimer instead of the wakealarm
sysfs file.

But really it uncovered deeper problems with how these timers work.  Adjust
the code accordingly.

[PATCH v2 1/2] rtc: Add rtc_read_next_alarm() to read next expiring timer

[Mario Limonciello]

Add a new function rtc_read_next_alarm() that reads the next expiring
alarm from the RTC timerqueue. This is different from rtc_read_alarm(),
which only reads the aie_timer.

The wakealarm sysfs file programs the rtc->aie_timer, whereas the
alarmtimer suspend routine programs its own timer into the RTC timerqueue.
Both timers end up in the RTC's timerqueue, and the first expiring timer
is what gets armed in the hardware.

This new function allows code to query which alarm will actually fire
next, regardless of which subsystem programmed it. This is needed by
platform code that needs to program secondary timers based on the
actual next wakeup time.

[PATCH v2 2/2] platform/x86: amd-pmc: Fix S0i3 wakeup with alarmtimer

[Mario Limonciello]

It was reported that suspend-then-hibernate stopped working with modern
systemd versions on AMD Cezanne systems. The reason for this breakage
was because systemd switched to using alarmtimer instead of the wakealarm
sysfs file.

On AMD Cezanne systems, amd_pmc_verify_czn_rtc() programs a secondary
timer with the alarm time. This was introduced by
commit 59348401ebed ("platform/x86: amd-pmc: Add special handling for
timer based S0i3 wakeup"). However, this function uses rtc_read_alarm(),
which only reads the aie_timer, not the next expiring timer from the
timerqueue.

When both alarmtimer and wakealarm are active, the first expiring timer
might be the alarmtimer, but amd_pmc_verify_czn_rtc() would only see
the aie_timer, potentially missing the earlier alarm.

Switch to rtc_read_next_alarm() to read whichever timer will fire next.
Also handle -ENOENT (no alarm pending) explicitly as a non-error case.

Thanks!

Ilpo, Shyam,

How do you want to handle patch 2/2?  Immutable branch and come through 
pdx86?  Or would you rather it go through Alexandre's tree?

Thanks,

It would be easier if it too goes through Alexandre's tree and I don't 
expect conflicts on that area. I've replied with my Ack to 2/2.
