PM / sleep: Re-implement suspend-to-idle handling
In preparation for adding support for quiescing timers in the final stage of suspend-to-idle transitions, rework the freeze_enter() function making the system wait on a wakeup event, the freeze_wake() function terminating the suspend-to-idle loop and the mechanism by which deep idle states are entered during suspend-to-idle. First of all, introduce a simple state machine for suspend-to-idle and make the code in question use it. Second, prevent freeze_enter() from losing wakeup events due to race conditions and ensure that the number of online CPUs won't change while it is being executed. In addition to that, make it force all of the CPUs re-enter the idle loop in case they are in idle states already (so they can enter deeper idle states if possible). Next, drop cpuidle_use_deepest_state() and replace use_deepest_state checks in cpuidle_select() and cpuidle_reflect() with a single suspend-to-idle state check in cpuidle_idle_call(). Finally, introduce cpuidle_enter_freeze() that will simply find the deepest idle state available to the given CPU and enter it using cpuidle_enter(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
