Wysocki" <rjw@...ysocki.net>, Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@...aro.org> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-arm-kernel@...ts.infradead.org, linuxppc-dev@...ts.ozlabs.org, linux-sh@...r.kernel.org, linux-pm@...r.kernel.org, linaro-kernel@...ts.linaro.org Subject: [PATCH 6/9] PPC: remove redundant cpuidle_idle_call() The core idle loop now takes care of it. However a few things need checking: - Invocation of cpuidle_idle_call() in pseries_lpar_idle() happened through arch_cpu_idle() and was therefore always preceded by a call to ppc64_runlatch_off(). To preserve this property now that cpuidle_idle_call() is invoked directly from core code, a call to ppc64_runlatch_off() has been added to idle_loop_prolog() in platforms/pseries/processor_idle.c. - Similarly, cpuidle_idle_call() was followed by ppc64_runlatch_off() so a call to the later has been added to idle_loop_epilog(). - And since arch_cpu_idle() always made sure to re-enable IRQs if they were not enabled, this is now done in idle_loop_epilog() as well. The above was made in order to keep the execution flow close to the original. I don't know if that was strictly necessary. Someone well aquainted with the platform details might find some room for possible optimizations.
