      cpuidle: mvebu: Update cpuidle thresholds for Armada XP SOCs · ce6031c8
      Sebastien Rannou authored
      Originally, the thresholds used in the cpuidle driver for Armada SOCs
      were temporarily chosen, leaving room for improvements.
      
      This commit updates the thresholds for the Armada XP SOCs with values
      that positively impact performances:
      
                                      without patch  with patch   vendor kernel
       - iperf localhost (gbit/sec)   ~3.7           ~6.4         ~5.4
       - ioping tmpfs (iops)          ~163k          ~206k        ~179k
       - ioping tmpfs (mib/s)         ~636           ~805         ~699
      
      The idle power consumption is negatively impacted (proportionally less
      than the performance gain), and we are still performing better than
      the vendor kernel here:
      
                                      without patch   with patch  vendor kernel
       - power consumption idle (W)   ~2.4            ~3.2        ~4.4
       - power consumption busy (W)   ~8.6            ~8.3        ~8.6
      
      There is still room for improvement regarding the value of these
      thresholds, they were chosen to mimic the vendor kernel.
      
      This patch only impacts Armada XP SOCs and was tested on Online Labs
      C1 boards. A similar approach can be taken to improve the performances
      of the Armada 370 and Armada 38x SOCs.
      
      Thanks a lot to Thomas Petazzoni, Gregory Clement and Willy Tarreau
      for the discussions and tips around this topic.

      cpuidle: mvebu: Fix the CPU PM notifier usage · 43b68879
      Gregory CLEMENT authored
      As stated in kernel/cpu_pm.c, "Platform is responsible for ensuring
      that cpu_pm_enter is not called twice on the same CPU before
      cpu_pm_exit is called.". In the current code in case of failure when
      calling mvebu_v7_cpu_suspend, the function cpu_pm_exit() is never
      called whereas cpu_pm_enter() was called just before.
      
      This patch moves the cpu_pm_exit() in order to balance the
      cpu_pm_enter() calls.

      POLL_OUT isn't what callers of ->poll() are expecting to see; it's
