From 6110a1f43c27b516e16d5ce8860fca50748c2a87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suresh Siddha Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2010 21:19:07 -0400 Subject: intel_idle: Voluntary leave_mm before entering deeper Avoid TLB flush IPIs for the cores in deeper c-states by voluntary leave_mm() before entering into that state. CPUs tend to flush TLB in those c-states anyways. acpi_idle does this with C3-type states, but it was not caried over when intel_idle was introduced. intel_idle can apply it to C-states in addition to those that ACPI might export as C3...
