cpuidle: Add new macro to enter a retention idle state
If a CPU is entering a low power idle state where it doesn't lose any context, then there is no need to call cpu_pm_enter()/cpu_pm_exit(). Add a new macro(CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_RETENTION) to be used by cpuidle drivers when they are entering retention state. By not calling cpu_pm_enter and cpu_pm_exit we reduce the latency involved in entering and exiting the retention idle states. CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_RETENTION assumes that no state is lost and hence CPU PM notifiers will not be called. We may need a broader change if we need to support partial retention states effeciently. On ARM64 based Qualcomm Server Platform we measured below overhead for for calling cpu_pm_enter and cpu_pm_exit for retention states. workload: stress --hdd #CPUs --hdd-bytes 32M -t 30 Average overhead of cpu_pm_enter - 1.2us Average overhead of cpu_pm_exit - 3.1us Acked-by: Rafael J.
