I cannot judge now. All I can test now is a that the boards enters those idle states and system works stable. I cannot measure power consumption, because currently I have only remote access to the boards. Best regards

What I meant was in order to cpu cluster to enter into IDLE states, it's controlled by the EXYNOS5422_PWR_CTRL and EXYNOS5422_PWR_CTRL2 clk fields See below example from the Exynos5422 cpu idle driver. [0] https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/blob/odroidxu3-3.10.y/arch/arm/mach-exynos/cpuidle-exynos5422.c#L319-L379 Just link Exynos5250 clk driver we need to Initialize PWR_CTRL and PWR_CTRL2 for Exynos542x clocks [1] https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/clk/samsung/clk-exynos5250.c#L828-L846 which will help support cpu idle drivers. -Anand

I just wanted to notify you that this function 'exynos_cpu_powerup' is called twice when cpu is going up: 1. by the already running cpu i.e. CPU0 and the 'state' is 0 for i.e. CPU2 2. by the newly starting cpu i.e. CPU2 by running 'secondary_start_kernel' and the state is 3. In this scenario the 'exynos_cpu_power_up' will be called twice. I have checked in hotplug that this is not causing any issues, but thought maybe it's worth share it with you. Maybe you can double check in TRM that this is not causing anything. > + if (!state && secure_firmware) { > /* > * This assumes the cluster number of the big cores(Cortex A15) > * is 0 and the Little cores(Cortex A7) is 1. > @@ -258,6 +260,8 @@ static int __init exynos_mcpm_init(void) > return -ENOMEM; > } > > + secure_firmware = exynos_secure_firmware_available(); > + > /* > * To increase the stability of KFC reset we need to program > * the PMU SPARE3 register > Other than that, the patch set looks good to me.

I apologize if my message was harsh or sounded rude. That was not my intention. I understand that patches soometimes got missed. That's life. This patch here is quite simple, non-intrusive, got independent ack. Also in the past SoC-specific drivers were sometimes going through SoC tree (so in this case - mine for Samsung). Patch also blocks the dependant DT change (for entire cycle). Therefore I guessed that it won't be a problem and it is just simpler to apply it. If it is an issue, I can drop it and rebase my branch.

The ARM big.LITTLE cpuidle driver has been enabled and tested on Samsung Exynos 5420/5800 based Peach Pit/Pi Chromebooks and in fact it worked only on those boards. However, support for it was broken by the commit 833b5794e330 ("ARM: EXYNOS: reset Little cores when cpu is up") and then never enabled in the exynos_defconfig. This patchset provides the needed fix to the common code and restores support for it. Thanks to Lukasz Luba who motivated me to take a look into this issue.
