But the interrupts are enabled in C from arch_cpu_idle(), which
only then calls the ASM __arch_cpu_idle(). So if the interrupt happens
somewhere in between the call, the rollback (or fast-forward now)
doesn't apply.
I do not know much details about scheduler and timer, if the interrupt happens between the call, will flag _TIF_NEED_RESCHED be set? If it is set, the rollback will still apply.



I guess interrupts need to be re-enabled from ASM in the beginning
of __arch_cpu_idle() so that it's part of the fast-forward region.

Right; something like so I suppose, but at this point I'm really just
guessing... Loongarch person will have to do.

It is more reasonable with this patch, this will jump out of idle function directly after interrupt returns. If so, can we remove checking _TIF_NEED_RESCHED in idle ASM function?
