So if the problem is FIQs, you don't disabled them on entry which means you enter the "frozen" state with FIQs enabled and tick frozen, unless I am missing something. The question here is: are we allowed to enable FIQs before returning from an enter_freeze() call (and to enter it with FIQs enabled) ? If we are not your code here certainly does not solve the issue, since it does _not_ disable FIQs upon enter_freeze call anyway.

I think doing that would go against the wording of the comment I quoted above, so I see two ways of fixing this: * Change the wording to refer to normal IRQs and leave the task of enabling and disabling FIQs to the enter_freeze implementation (ugly and I don't see any good reason for this) * Have FIQs already disabled when enter_freeze gets called, probably by having arch_cpu_idle_enter do it on ARM (and the inverse in arch_cpu_idle_exit)?

I don't know what FIQs are. :-) ->enter_freeze is entered with interrupts disabled on the local CPU. It is not supposed to re-enable them. That is, while in the ->enter_freeze callback routine, the CPU must not be interrupted aby anything other than NMI.

They are not identical to NMI on x86, since their behaviour (handling) may be overriden by platforms and they can be masked. > ->enter_freeze is entered with interrupts disabled on the local CPU.

It boils down to what FIQs handlers are allowed to do with tick frozen and what they are (may be) currently used for. Russell has more insights on this than I do, in particular what FIQs are currently used for on ARM and if we can leave them enabled safely with tick frozen. Lorenzo

Ok, the point here is: either it is safe, and you leave them enabled, or it is not and we must disable them *before* enter_freeze() is entered. Disabling them in the platform enter_freeze() hook does not make sense, because this means we run with FIQs enabled with tick frozen, either it is safe or it is not, it can't be both. I would ask Russell opinion on this, before making any decision. Lorenzo

Hi Russell, do you think FIQs should be disabled when the tick is frozen when going to suspend to idle? Thanks, Tomeu

I have been looking and asking around, and seems like we should actually leave FIQs enabled when the tick is frozen and only disable them within enter_freeze. My understanding is that FIQ handlers are extremely limited in what they can do, with the main use being NMI-like functionality. There are a handful of other FIQ handlers in mainline, but they don't call into any other kernel code and limit themselves to doing some basic I/O. The only reason why they should be disabled in enter_freeze is that the context of the CPU that is going to a lower power state could become corrupted if a FIQ gets fired during a save or restore operation.

Right, that makes total sense. (And yes, FIQ handlers are very limited in what they're allowed to do, since they can't take any locks without the potential for deadlock.)

This callback is expected to do the same as enter() only that all non-wakeup IRQs are expected to be disabled. It will be called when the system goes to suspend-to-idle and will reduce power usage because CPUs won't be awaken for unnecessary IRQs.
