[PATCH 8/9] arm64: support cpuidle-haltpoll

From: Ankur Arora
Date: Tue Apr 30 2024 - 14:39:13 EST


Add architectural support for the cpuidle-haltpoll driver by defining
arch_haltpoll_*(). Also select ARCH_HAS_OPTIMIZED_POLL since we have
an optimized polling mechanism via smp_cond_load*().

Add the configuration option, ARCH_CPUIDLE_HALTPOLL to allow
cpuidle-haltpoll to be selected.

Note that we limit cpuidle-haltpoll support to when the event-stream is
available. This is necessary because polling via smp_cond_load_relaxed()
uses WFE to wait for a store which might not happen for an prolonged
period of time. So, ensure the event-stream is around to provide a
terminating condition.
