Subject: [PATCH 1/7] x86: Fix CPUIDLE_FLAG_IRQ_ENABLE leaking timer reprogram

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

intel_idle_irq() re-enables IRQs very early. As a result, an interrupt
may fire before mwait() is eventually called. If such an interrupt queues
a timer, it may go unnoticed until mwait returns and the idle loop
handles the tick re-evaluation. And monitoring TIF_NEED_RESCHED doesn't
help because a local timer enqueue doesn't set that flag.

The issue is mitigated by the fact that this idle handler is only invoked
for shallow C-states when, presumably, the next tick is supposed to be
close enough. There may still be rare cases though when the next tick
is far away and the selected C-state is shallow, resulting in a timer
getting ignored for a while.

Fix this with using sti_mwait() whose IRQ-reenablement only triggers
upon calling mwait(), dealing with the race while keeping the interrupt
latency within acceptable bounds.

Fixes: c227233ad64c (intel_idle: enable interrupts before C1 on Xeons)
