Hi, Ankur,

With haltpoll_driver registered, arch_cpu_idle() on x86 can select
mwait_idle() in idle threads.

It use MONITOR sets up an effective address range that is monitored
for write-to-memory activities; MWAIT places the processor in
an optimized state (this may vary between different implementations)
until a write to the monitored address range occurs.

Should arch_cpu_idle() on arm64 also use the LDXR/WFE
to avoid wakeup IPI like x86 monitor/mwait?

Thanks.
Shuai
