CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_RETENTION skips calling cpu_pm_enter() and cpu_pm_exit(). By not calling cpu_pm functions in idle entry/exit paths we can reduce the latency involved in entering and exiting the low power idle state. On ARM64 based Qualcomm server platform we measured below overhead for calling cpu_pm_enter and cpu_pm_exit for retention states. workload: stress --hdd #CPUs --hdd-bytes 32M -t 30 Average overhead of cpu_pm_enter - 1.2us Average overhead of cpu_pm_exit - 3.1us Acked-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Prashanth Prakash <pprakash@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
