[PATCH 2/5] cpuidle: Introduce CPUIDLE_FLAG_MWAIT

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Fri Dec 06 2024 - 08:07:32 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Provide a way to tell the cpuidle core about states monitoring
TIF_NEED_RESCHED on the hardware level, monitor/mwait users being the
only examples in use.

This will allow cpuidle core to manage TIF_NR_POLLING on behalf of all
kinds of TIF_NEED_RESCHED watching states while keeping a necessary
distinction for the governors between software loops polling on
TIF_NEED_RESCHED and hardware monitored writes to thread flags.

[fweisbec: _ Initialize flag from acpi_processor_setup_cstates() instead
of acpi_processor_setup_lpi_states(), as the latter seem to
be about arm64...
_ Rename CPUIDLE_FLAG_NO_IPI to CPUIDLE_FLAG_MWAIT]
