The system wakeup framework is not very consistent with respect to
the way it handles suspend-to-idle and generally wakeup events
occurring during transitions to system low-power states.
First off, system transitions in progress are aborted by the event
reporting helpers like pm_wakeup_event() only if the wakeup_count
sysfs attribute is in use (as documented), but there are cases in
which system-wide transitions should be aborted even if that is
not the case. For example, a wakeup signal from a designated
wakeup device during system-wide PM transition, it should cause
the transition to be aborted right away.
Moreover, there is a freeze_wake() call in wakeup_source_activate(),
but that really is only effective after suspend_freeze_state has
been set to FREEZE_STATE_ENTER by freeze_enter(). However, it
is very unlikely that wakeup_source_activate() will ever be called
at that time, as it could only be triggered by a IRQF_NO_SUSPEND
interrupt handler, so wakeups from suspend-to-idle don't really
occur in wakeup_source_activate().
At the same time there is a way to abort a system suspend in
progress (or wake up the system from suspend-to-idle), which is by
calling pm_system_wakeup(), but in turn that doesn't cause any
wakeup source objects to be activated, so it will not be covered
by wakeup source statistics and will not prevent the system from
suspending again immediately (in case autosleep is used, for
example). Consequently, if anyone wants to abort system transitions
in progress and allow the wakeup_count mechanism to work, they need
to use both pm_system_wakeup() and pm_wakeup_event(), say, at the
same time which is awkward.
For the above reasons, make it possible to trigger
pm_system_wakeup() from within wakeup_source_activate() and
provide a new pm_wakeup_hard_event() helper to do so within the
wakeup framework.
