This 12-year-old bug prevents some modern processors from achieving maximum power savings during suspend. For example, Lunar Lake systems gets 0% package C-states during suspend to idle and this causes energy star compliance tests to fail.
According to Intel SDM, for the local APIC timer, 1. "The initial-count register is a read-write register. A write of 0 to the initial-count register effectively stops the local APIC timer, in both one-shot and periodic mode." 2. "In TSC deadline mode, writes to the initial-count register are ignored; and current-count register always reads 0. Instead, timer behavior is controlled using the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR." "In TSC-deadline mode, writing 0 to the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR disarms the local-APIC timer."
Stop the TSC Deadline timer in lapic_timer_shutdown() by writing 0 to MSR_IA32_TSC_DEADLINE.
