On ARM64 this patch provides no functional change.On ARM64, it causes build breakage though: drivers/built-in.o: In function `psci_suspend_finisher': arm_pmu.c:(.text+0xc6494): undefined reference to `cpu_resume' arm_pmu.c:(.text+0xc6498): undefined reference to `cpu_resume' drivers/built-in.o: In function `psci_cpu_suspend_enter': arm_pmu.c:(.text+0xc66c0): undefined reference to `cpu_suspend' The code which has been moved looks similar. However, when it lived in arch/arm64/kernel/psci.c, it was protected by #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. In its new location, there are no ifdefs around it, and so if it gets built without CONFIG_ARM_CPU_SUSPEND on ARM, or CONFIG_CPU_PM for ARM64, it will error out like the above. As this is causing a regression, and I've now closed my tree, I will be doing what I said yesterday: I'll be dropping this patch for this merge window in order to stabilise my tree. Sorry.My bad, I apologise, I will likely have to add a config option to make sure cpu_{suspend/resume} code is compiled in (on both ARM/ARM64), thanks for spotting it.On ARM, that option is CONFIG_ARM_CPU_SUSPEND - that option solely controls whether cpu_suspend/resume are present. ARM64 just needs to adopt this, and use that to control the code which is built in drivers/firmware/psci.c. However, I don't think it's as simple as just adding that to ARM64, as you need to be careful of the Kconfig dependencies. For ARM, this is: Generic code: - SUSPEND defaults to y, depends on ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE (which is set for any cpu_suspend enabled CPU.) - PM_SLEEP if SUSPEND || HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS ARM sets: - CPU_PM if SUSPEND || CPU_IDLE. - ARM_CPU_SUSPEND if PM_SLEEP || BL_SWITCHER || (ARCH_PXA && PM) What this means is that CPU_PM is entirely independent of ARM_CPU_SUSPEND. One does not imply the other, so I think you need to consider carefully what ifdef you need in drivers/firmware/psci.c. This is why I think fixing this is not simple as it first looks.
Not saying it is nice, but unless I find a cleaner way I was keener on adding a silent config entry in drivers/firmware, say: config ARM_PSCI_CPU_IDLE def_bool ARM_PSCI_FW && CPU_IDLE select ARM_CPU_SUSPEND if ARM and use that to either guard the code or stub it out and compile it if that config option is enabled. I will post a v4 at -rc1. Thanks, Lorenzo
