[v2,2/2] alarmtimer: Modify alarmtimer suspend callback to check for imminent alarm using PM notifier
Commit Message
The alarmtimer driver currently fails suspend attempts when there is an
alarm pending within the next suspend_check_duration_ns nanoseconds, since
the system is expected to wake up soon anyway. The entire suspend process
is initiated even though the system will immediately awaken. This process
includes substantial work before the suspend fails and additional work
afterwards to undo the failed suspend that was attempted. Therefore on
battery-powered devices that initiate suspend attempts from userspace, it
may be advantageous to be able to fail the suspend earlier in the suspend
flow to avoid power consumption instead of unnecessarily doing extra work.
As one data point, an analysis of a subset of Android devices showed that
imminent alarms account for roughly 40% of all suspend failures on average
leading to unnecessary power wastage.
To facilitate this, register a PM notifier in the alarmtimer subsystem
that checks if an alarm is imminent during the prepare stage of kernel
suspend denoted by the event PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE. If an alarm is imminent,
it returns the errno code ETIME instead of EBUSY to userspace in order to
make it easily diagnosable.
