ARM: OMAP2+: fix lack of timer interrupts on CPU1 after hotplug
If we have a kernel configured for periodic timer interrupts, and we have cpuidle enabled, then we end up with CPU1 losing timer interupts after a hotplug. This can manifest itself in RCU stall warnings, or userspace becoming unresponsive. The problem is that the kernel initially wants to use the TWD timer for interrupts, but the TWD loses context when we enter the C3 cpuidle state. Nothing reprograms the TWD after idle. We have solved this in the past by switching to broadcast timer ticks, and cpuidle44xx switches to that mode at boot time. However, there is nothing to switch from periodic mode local timers after a hotplug operation. We call tick_broadcast_enter() in omap_enter_idle_coupled(), which one would expect would take care of the issue, but internally this only deals with one-shot local timers - tick_broadcast_enable() on the other hand only deals with periodic local timers. So, we need to call both. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk> [tony@atomide.com: just standardized the subject line] Signed-off-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>
