[PATCH V3 4/6] cpuidle/ppc: Add basic infrastructure to support thebroadcast framework on ppc

From: Preeti U Murthy
Date: Tue Sep 10 2013 - 22:54:50 EST


The broadcast framework in the kernel expects an external clock device which will
continue functioning in deep idle states also. This ability is specified by
the "non-existence" of the feature C3STOP . This is the device that it relies
upon to wakup cpus in deep idle states whose local timers/clock devices get
switched off in deep idle states.

On ppc we do not have such an external device. Therefore we introduce a
pseudo clock device, which has the features of this external clock device
called the broadcast_clockevent. Having such a device qualifies the cpus to
enter and exit deep idle states from the point of view of the broadcast
framework, because there is an external device to wake them up.
Specifically the broadcast framework uses this device's event
handler and next_event members in its functioning. On ppc we use this
device as the gateway into the broadcast framework and *not* as a
timer. An explicit timer infrastructure will be developed in the following
patches to keep track of when to wake up cpus in deep idle.

Since this device is a pseudo device, it can be safely assumed to work for
all cpus. Therefore its cpumask is set to cpu_possible_mask. Also due to the
same reason, the set_next_event() routine associated with this device is a
nop.

The broadcast framework relies on a broadcast functionality being made
available in the .broadcast member of the local clock devices on all cpus.
This function is called upon by the broadcast framework on one of the nominated
cpus, to send ipis to all the cpus in deep idle at their expired timer events.
This patch also initializes the .broadcast member of the decrementer whose
job is to send the broadcast ipis.

When cpus inform the broadcast framework that they are entering deep idle,
their local timers are put in shutdown mode. On ppc, this means setting the
decrementer_next_tb and programming the decrementer to DECREMENTER_MAX.
On being woken up by the broadcast ipi, these cpus call __timer_interrupt(),
which runs the local timers only if decrementer_next_tb has expired.
Therefore on being woken up from the broadcast ipi, set the decrementers_next_tb
to now before calling __timer_interrupt().
