Joseph, I applied all 3 of your patches/series on top of next-20130701,
which does include dependency "tick: Fix tick_broadcast_pending_mask
not cleared":
* ARM: tegra: cpuidle: use CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP flag
* This series
* ARM: tegra114: add support for system suspend
I find that at least on on Tegra114/Dalmore, CPU hotplug doesn't work
correctly.
If I unplug CPU0, I get an immediate system hang:
root at localhost:~# ./cpuonline.py
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
[ 73.555696] IRQ73 no longer affine to CPU0
[ 73.561965] CPU0: shutdown
If I adjust my script not to hotplug CPU0, I get a hang when plugging a
CPU back in:
root at localhost:~# ./cpuonline.py
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
[ 87.141128] CPU2: shutdown
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
[ 89.227597] CPU1: shutdown
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online
[ 91.253870] CPU3: shutdown
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
or simpler:
root at localhost:~# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
[ 80.767825] CPU1: shutdown
root at localhost:~# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
Finally, if I boot afresh and enter system suspend, I see the system
suspend OK, but pressing the power button on either the board itself or
the attached PM342 debug board will not wake the system from sleep.
