sched / idle: Call default_idle_call() from cpuidle_enter_state()

2015-05-14T19:37:47+00:00

The check of the cpuidle_enter() return value against -EBUSY
made in call_cpuidle() will not be necessary any more if
cpuidle_enter_state() calls default_idle_call() directly when it
is about to return -EBUSY, so make that happen and eliminate the
check.

sched / idle: Call idle_set_state() from cpuidle_enter_state()

2015-05-14T19:35:10+00:00

Introduce a wrapper function around idle_set_state() called
sched_idle_set_state() that will pass this_rq() to it as the
first argument and make cpuidle_enter_state() call the new
function before and after entering the target state.

At the same time, remove direct invocations of idle_set_state()
from call_cpuidle().

This will allow the invocation of default_idle_call() to be
moved from call_cpuidle() to cpuidle_enter_state() safely
and call_cpuidle() to be simplified a bit as a result.

sched / idle: Eliminate the "reflect" check from cpuidle_idle_call()

2015-05-04T20:53:35+00:00

Since cpuidle_reflect() should only be called if the idle state
to enter was selected by cpuidle_select(), there is the "reflect"
variable in cpuidle_idle_call() whose value is used to determine
whether or not that is the case.

However, if the entire code run between the conditional setting
"reflect" and the call to cpuidle_reflect() is moved to a separate
function, it will be possible to call that new function in both
branches of the conditional, in which case cpuidle_reflect() will
only need to be called from one of them too and the "reflect"
variable won't be necessary any more.

This eliminates one check made by cpuidle_idle_call() on the majority
of its invocations, so change the code as described.

sched / idle: Move the default idle call code to a separate function

2015-05-04T20:53:22+00:00

Move the code under the "use_default" label in cpuidle_idle_call()
into a separate (new) function.

This just allows the subsequent changes to be more stratightforward.

cpuidle: Run tick_broadcast_exit() with disabled interrupts

2015-04-29T13:19:21+00:00

Commit 335f49196fd6 (sched/idle: Use explicit broadcast oneshot
control function) replaced clockevents_notify() invocations in
cpuidle_idle_call() with direct calls to tick_broadcast_enter()
and tick_broadcast_exit(), but it overlooked the fact that
interrupts were already enabled before calling the latter which
led to functional breakage on systems using idle states with the
CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP flag set.

Fix that by moving the invocations of tick_broadcast_enter()
and tick_broadcast_exit() down into cpuidle_enter_state() where
interrupts are still disabled when tick_broadcast_exit() is
called.  Also ensure that interrupts will be disabled before
running tick_broadcast_exit() even if they have been enabled by
the idle state's ->enter callback.  Trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in
that case, as we generally don't want that to happen for states
with CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP set.

rcu: Handle outgoing CPUs on exit from idle loop

2015-03-12T22:19:38+00:00

This commit informs RCU of an outgoing CPU just before that CPU invokes
arch_cpu_idle_dead() during its last pass through the idle loop (via a
new CPU_DYING_IDLE notifier value).  This change means that RCU need not
deal with outgoing CPUs passing through the scheduler after informing
RCU that they are no longer online.  Note that removing the CPU from
the rcu_node ->qsmaskinit bit masks is done at CPU_DYING_IDLE time,
and orphaning callbacks is still done at CPU_DEAD time, the reason being
that at CPU_DEAD time we have another CPU that can adopt them.

cpu: Make CPU-offline idle-loop transition point more precise

2015-03-12T22:19:37+00:00

This commit uses a per-CPU variable to make the CPU-offline code path
through the idle loop more precise, so that the outgoing CPU is
guaranteed to make it into the idle loop before it is powered off.
This commit is in preparation for putting the RCU offline-handling
code on this code path, which will eliminate the magic one-jiffy
wait that RCU uses as the maximum time for an outgoing CPU to get
all the way through the scheduler.

The magic one-jiffy wait for incoming CPUs remains a separate issue.
