[PATCH V3 0/6] cpuidle/ppc: Enable broadcast support for deep idle states

2013-09-10 Thread Preeti U Murthy
On PowerPC, when CPUs enter deep idle states, their local timers get switched off. An external clock device needs to programmed to wake them up at their next timer event. On PowerPC, we do not have an external device equivalent to HPET, which is currently used on architectures like x86
