Suspend to idle was found to not work on Goldmont CPU recently.
The issue happens due to:
1. On Goldmont the CPU in idle can only be woken up via IPIs,
not POLLING mode, due to commit 08e237fa56a1 ("x86/cpu: Add
workaround for MONITOR instruction erratum on Goldmont based
CPUs")
2. When the CPU is entering suspend to idle process, the
_TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG remains on, because cpuidle_enter_s2idle()
doesn't match call_cpuidle() exactly.
3. Commit b2a02fc43a1f ("smp: Optimize send_call_function_single_ipi()")
makes use of _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG to avoid sending IPIs to idle
CPUs.
4. As a result, some IPIs related functions might not work
well during suspend to idle on Goldmont. For example, one
suspected victim:
tick_unfreeze() -> timekeeping_resume() -> hrtimers_resume()
-> clock_was_set() -> on_each_cpu() might wait forever,
because the IPIs will not be sent to the CPUs which are
sleeping with _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG set, and Goldmont CPU
could not be woken up by only setting _TIF_NEED_RESCHED
on the monitor address.
To avoid that, clear the _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG flag before invoking
enter_s2idle_proper() in cpuidle_enter_s2idle() in analogy with the
call_cpuidle() code flow.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
