[PATCH][Fix] cpuidle: Run tick_broadcast_exit() with disabled interrupts

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Wed Apr 29 2015 - 09:42:27 EST


From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

Commit 335f49196fd6 (sched/idle: Use explicit broadcast oneshot
control function) replaced clockevents_notify() invocations in
cpuidle_idle_call() with direct calls to tick_broadcast_enter()
and tick_broadcast_exit(), but it overlooked the fact that
interrupts were already enabled before calling the latter which
led to functional breakage on systems using idle states with the
CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP flag set.

Fix that by moving the invocations of tick_broadcast_enter()
and tick_broadcast_exit() down into cpuidle_enter_state() where
interrupts are still disabled when tick_broadcast_exit() is
called. Also ensure that interrupts will be disabled before
running tick_broadcast_exit() even if they have been enabled by
the idle state's ->enter callback. Trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in
that case, as we generally don't want that to happen for states
with CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP set.

Thanks for the testing and ACKs, here it goes again with all tags and
a changelog.

If anything is missing/incorrect, please let me know ASAP as I'm going to
push this to Linus in a couple of days.
