From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wyso...@intel.com>
Disabling interrupts at the end of cpuidle_enter_freeze() is not
useful, because its caller, cpuidle_idle_call(), re-enables them
right away after invoking it.
To avoid that unnecessary back and forth dance with interrupts,
make cpuidle_enter_freeze() enable interrupts after calling
enter_freeze_proper() and drop the local_irq_disable() at its
end, so that all of the code paths in it end up with interrupts
enabled. Then, cpuidle_idle_call() will not need to re-enable
interrupts after calling cpuidle_enter_freeze() any more, because
the latter will return with interrupts enabled, in analogy with
cpuidle_enter().
