[PATCH] arm/twd: avoid waking deeply sleeping CPUs for rate change notifier

Tue Apr 17 03:46:27 PDT 2018


The current clock notifier sends an IPI to all CPUs, even if they are in
deep sleep state with the local timer disabled and switched to tick
broadcast. This needlessly cuts the CPU sleep times, as nothing is gained
from updating a disabled TWDs rate.

Keep track of the enabled TWDs and only send an IPI to those CPUs with an
active local timer. As disabled TWDs may now miss a CPU frequency update
we need to make sure to refresh the rate on re-enabling of the timer.
