From 14422c760bb5b2485867f3efb7842d296081ad86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 Message-Id: <14422c760bb5b2485867f3efb7842d296081ad86.1361880827.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org> From: Viresh Kumar Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 12:42:39 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ARM/timer-sp: Set dynamic irq affinity When a cpu goes to a deep idle state where its local timer is shutdown, it notifies the time frame work to use the broadcast timer instead. Unfortunately, the broadcast device could wake up any CPU, including an idle one which is not concerned by the wake up at all. This implies, in the worst case, an idle CPU will wake up to send an IPI to another idle cpu. This patch fixes this for ARM platforms using timer-sp, by setting CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ feature.
