x86, clockevents: add C1E aware idle function
C1E on AMD machines is like C3 but without control from the OS. Up to now we disabled the local apic timer for those machines as it stops when the CPU goes into C1E. This excludes those machines from high resolution timers / dynamic ticks, which hurts especially X2 based laptops. The current boot time C1E detection has another, more serious flaw as well: some BIOSes do not enable C1E until the ACPI processor module is loaded. This causes systems to stop working after that point. To work nicely with C1E enabled machines we use a separate idle function, which checks on idle entry whether C1E was enabled in the Interrupt Pending Message MSR. This allows us to do timer broadcasting for C1E and covers the late enablement of C1E as well. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
