Subject: [v3] cpuidle: add riscv cpuidle driver

This patch adds a simple cpuidle driver for RISC-V systems using
the WFI state. Other states will be supported in the future.

Reported-by: kernel test robot <[email protected]>
Signed-off-by: liush <[email protected]>
---
Changes in v3:
- fix the issue reported by kernel test robot
"drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle-riscv.c:22:12: warning: no previous prototype
for 'riscv_low_level_suspend_enter' [-Wmissing-prototypes]"
Changes in v2:
- call "mb()" before run "WFI" in cpu_do_idle
- modify commit description
- place "select CPU_IDLE" in alphabetical order
- replace "__asm__ __volatile__ ("wfi")" with "wait_for_interrupt()"
- delete "cpuidle.c",move "cpu_do_idle()" to cpuidle.h
- modify "arch_cpu_idle", "cpu_do_idle" can be called by
"arch_cpu_idle"
- fix space/tab issues
- modify riscv_low_level_suspend_enter to __weak mode

This isn't needed in a patch adding a new driver.

Either the comment isn't precise enough, or this may not work as expected.

The memory barrier prevents memory accesses occurring earlier in the
code flow from being reordered (by the processor or by the compiler)
after the function call below, but is this really needed? That is,
can they be reordered anyway? If so, then why?

I'm not sure why this is needed at all.

Because there is only one idle state, idx in __CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER()
will always be 0, so it'll always call cpu_do_idle(), so can't it be
invoked directly from here?

And since the arch_cpu_idle() is also WFI, why is the full-blown
cpuidle driver needed at this point?

IIRC that was essentially the same feedback as I had on some earlier version of
this. The ISA defines WFI and a handful of pause mechanisms, and while I'd be
happy to take a driver that selects between those I don't really see a reason
to unless there's some hardware that benefits from it. I would definitely buy
the argument that those existing standard mechanisms are insufficient to build
a realistic chip, but without any concrete users it's very hard to reason about
any code -- that's true for standard extensions, but doubly so for anything
else. In this case requiring an in-tree user may be a bit pedantic, as there's
really only one way to go about this sort of thing, but it's the generally
accepted approach in Linux and without an in-tree user it's very hard to
maintain the code.

I know it can be a headache to keep stuff like this out of tree, and while
we've accepted some stuff with only out of tree users I don't want to make that
a general policy. Specifically I'm thinking of some helper functions for the
hypervisor extension that aren't properly used, but I consider that a bit of a
special case -- that's a standard RISC-V extension, and the ratification
process is just so glacially paced that it seems silly to make a bunch more
work for everyone when it comes to some simple refactoring.

In this case I don't really see such a concrete use case. I suppose a driver
could be constructed for the WFM/pause type stuff, but I don't really see those
(at least as currently defined) being interesting for the Linux use case.
While obviously it'd be best to have any other idle scheme as a standard RISC-V
extension, I understand that is a long process and my guess would be that
(assuming the RISC-V stuff ever get taken seriously) we have a bunch of
non-standard schemes that arrive before an official standard shows up. While I
don't really see any reason to do anything differently for an arbitrary idle
driver, it's impossible to reason about that sort of thing without some user of
the code.

So essentially: I'd be happy to take this if something used it, but without a
user I don't really see how I can.

Sorry!
