But the patch needs an Ack from ACPI/x86 folks. This patch (mentioned in the URL above) fixes the issue. Could it be applied to the x86 tree for 3.2 or get an Ack, please? >From 4f10ec7a7b9ff24657696aa98f25bcecde247373 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:02:02 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] xen/pm_idle: Make pm_idle be default_idle under Xen. This patch: commit d91ee5863b71e8c90eaf6035bff3078a85e2e7b5 Author: Len Brown Date: Fri Apr 1 18:28:35 2011 -0400 cpuidle: replace xen access to x86 pm_idle and default_idle ..scribble on pm_idle and access default_idle, have it simply disable_cpuidle() so acpi_idle will not load and architecture default HLT will be used. idea was to have one call - disable_cpuidle() which would make pm_idle not be molested by other code. It disallows cpuidle_idle_call and acpi_idle_call to not set pm_idle (which is excellent). But the amd_e400_idle and mwait_idle can still setup pm_idle which we really do not want. In case of mwait_idle we can hit some instances where: Brought up 2 CPUs invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU 1 Modules linked in: Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.3.fc16.x86_64 #1 RIP: e030:[] [] mwait_idle+0x6f/0xb4 RSP: e02b:ffff8801d28ddf10 EFLAGS: 00010082 RAX: ffff8801d28dc010 RBX: ffff8801d28ddfd8 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000001 RDI: 0000000000000001 RBP: ffff8801d28ddf10 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: ffff8801d28ddfd8 R12: ffffffff81b590d0 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff8801dff81000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: e033 DS: 002b ES: 002b CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000001a05000 CR4: 0000000000002660 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000000 Process swapper (pid: 0, threadinfo ffff8801d28dc000, task ffff8801d28cae60) Stack: ffff8801d28ddf40 ffffffff8100e2ed ffff8801dff8e390 c136dfe72feab515 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffff8801d28ddf50 ffffffff8149ee78 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 Call Trace: [] cpu_idle+0xae/0xe8 [] cpu_bringup_and_idle+0xe/0x10 RIP [] mwait_idle+0x6f/0xb4 RSP RH BZ #739499 and Ubuntu #881076 In case of amd_e400_idle we don't get so spectacular crashes, but we do end up making an MSR which is trapped in the hypervisor, and then follow it up with a yield hypercall. Meaning we end up going to hypervisor twice instead of just once. Lets make pm_idle be default_idle to take care of that.
