The patch is based on v3.17, merged with Rafael's pm+acpi-3.18-rc1 tag from
linux-pm.git tree.

The patch is based on the patch PeterZ initially wrote.
---
Freeze is a general power saving state that processes are frozen, devices
are suspended and CPUs are in idle state. However, when the system enters
freeze state, there are a few timers keep ticking and hence consumes more
power unnecessarily. The observed timer events in freeze state are:
- tick_sched_timer
- watchdog lockup detector
- realtime scheduler period timer

The system power consumption in freeze state will be reduced significantly
if we quiesce these timers.

On Baytrail-T(ASUS_T100) platform, when the system is freezed to low power
idle state(S0ix), quiescing these timers saves 29.8% power(94.48mw -> 66.32mw).

The patch is also tested on:
- Sandybrdige-EP system, both RTC alarm and power button are able to wake
  the system up from freeze state.
- HP laptop EliteBook 8460p, both RTC alarm and power button are able to
  wake the system up from freeze state.

So the obvious question is why dont we quiesce these timers by telling
the subsystems which manage these timers to shut them down?

I really want a proper answer for this in the first place, but let me
look at the proposed "solution" as well.

Why do you need that if you already suspended the clock event device?
The above comment does not explain that at all.

So if there is a proper reason to do so, we rather do the following in
tick_suspend():

	td->evtdev.real_handler = td->evtdev.event_handler;
	td->evtdev.event_handler = clockevents_handle_noop;

and restore that on resume instead of sprinkling if (tk_suspended)
checks all over the place. x86/apic is probably not the only one which
wants that treatment.

But before we do that we want a proper explanation why the interrupt
fires at all. The lack of explanation cleary documents that this is a
'hacked it into submission' approach.

So you export the world and some more from timekeeping and the tick
code and fiddle with it randomly just to do:

1) Suspend clock event devices
2) Suspend timekeeping
3) Resume timekeeping
4) Resume clock event devices

And for that you kick the frozen cpus out of idle into the
stomp_machine task and let them enter deep idle from there.

stomp_machine() is in 99% of all use cases a clear indicator for a
complete design failure.

It's not that hard to solve that problem, w/o stomp_machine and w/o
all the tick_do_timer_cpu mess.

1) Run the freeze code until freeze_enter()

2) Prevent CPU hotplug and switch state.

   That tells the cpu idle code to enter the deepest idle state and
   also tells the clock events code about the desire to freeze
   everything.

   clock_events_set_freeze_state(true);

   And let that be:

   clock_events_set_freeze_state(bool on)
   {
	raw_spin_lock_irq(&clockevents_lock);
	if (on)
		tobefrozen_cpus = num_online_cpus();
	idle_freeze = on;
	raw_spin_unlock_irq(&clockevents_lock);
   }

   So the generic idle task needs a check like this:

   if (idle_should_freeze())
      	frozen_idle();

   with the implementation:

   bool idle_should_freeze()
   {
	return clock_events_get_freeze_state();
   }

   which resolves to:

   bool clock_events_get_freeze_state()
   {
        /*
	 * Lockfree access because it does not matter.
	 *
	 * See below at CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_FREEZE
	 */
	return idle_freeze;
   }

4) Kick all cpus out of idle, so they enter the deep idle state via
   frozen_idle()

   frozen_idle()
   {
   	if (clock_events_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_FREEZE))
	      return;

	while (idle_should_freeze())
	      magic_frozen_idle();

	clock_events_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_UNFREEZE);
   }

   Let clock_events_notify() have these new cases:

   CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_FREEZE:
	ret = tick_freeze();
	break;

   CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_UNFREEZE:
	tick_unfreeze();
	break;

   and

   tick_freeze()
   {
	/*
	 * This is serialized against a concurrent wakeup
	 * via clockevents_lock!
	 */
	if (!idle_freeze)
	   return -EBUSY;

	if (--tobefrozen_cpus) {
	   tick_suspend();
	} else
	   /*
	    * Needs to be a seperate interface due to
	    * clockevents_lock being held in clock_events_notify()
	    */
	   timekeeping_freeze();
        }
   }

   and

   tick_unfreeze()
   {
	if (!timekeeping_frozen)
	   tick_resume();
	else
	   timekeeping_unfreeze();
   }

   and the wakeup notification wants to have a proper interface as
   well:

   wakeup_the_whole_thing()
   {
	do_whatever_unfreeze_needs();

	clock_events_set_freeze_state(false);
   }

5) Reenable cpu hotplug when the freezer task returns.

No stomp_machine, no tick_do_timer_cpu() abuse. All nicely serialized
via clockevents_lock.

All abortable at any given point in time and not dependend on running
through another state machine nested into the stomp_machine() state
machine.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

	tglx

Two arguments here:

 1) the current suspend modes don't care, so if this suspend mode starts
 to care, its likely to 'break' in the future simply because people
 never cared about timers.

 2) there could be userland timers, userland is frozen but they'll still
 have their timers set and those can and will fire.

But sure, we can add suspend notifiers to stuff to shut down timers; I
should have a patch for at least one of the offenders somewhere. But I
really think that we should not be looking at the individual timers for
this, none of the other suspend modes care about active timers.

From what I remember its the waking interrupt that ends up in the
timekeeping code, Li should have a backtrace somwhere.

Sure, we can add some exports and clean that up, but..

So that is adding extra code to fairly common/hot paths just for this
one extra special case. I tried to avoid doing that.

But I suppose we can try and merge that with the offline case and guard
both special cases with a single variable or so.

There are two race conditions:

The first one occurs after the interrupt is disabled and before we
suspend lapic. In this time slot, if apic timer interrupt occurs, the
interrupt is pending there because the interrupt is disabled. Then we
suspend timekeeping, and then we enter idle and exit idle with interrupt
re-enabled, the timer interrupt is handled with timekeeping is
suspended.

The other occurs after timekeeping_suspended = 1 and before we suspend
lapic. In this time slot, if apic timer interrupt occurs, we invoke the
timer interrupt while timekeeping is suspended as above.

idle enter is not that much of a hot path, really.

And that race exists for every implementation and is not at all apic
timer specific. So we fix it at the core and not at some random place
in the architecture code.

If you are okay with the current method to suspend timekeeping entirely,
then we can go further to fix the rest concerns.

You're right, will refine this in the next patch version.

I'm fine with that when it's done proper :)
