Earlier, Ingo Molnar posted a patch to make it so that the kernel would avoid
reading _PPC on his broken T60. Unfortunately, it seems that with Thomas
Renninger's patch last July to eliminate _PPC evaluations when the processor
driver loads, the kernel never actually reads _PPC at all! This is problematic
if you happen to boot your non-T60 computer in a state where the BIOS _wants_
_PPC to be something other than zero.
So, put the _PPC evaluation back into acpi_processor_get_performance_info if
ignore_ppc isn't 1.

Add __percpu sparse annotations to places which didn't make it in one
of the previous patches. All converions are trivial.
These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be
in a different address space and warn if accessed without going
through percpu accessors. This patch doesn't affect normal builds.

This interface is mainly intended (and implemented) for ACPI _PPC BIOS
frequency limitations, but other cpufreq drivers can also use it for
similar use-cases.
Why is this needed:
Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited.
People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have
happened by:
- any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq
- thermal limitations
- hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations
Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to:
- Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits
frequency
- Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs.
While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear
more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like
allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want
to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations.
All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch:
- powernow-k8
- powernow-k7
- acpi-cpufreq
Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1)
via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit:
# echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
# cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
2600000
2600000
2200000
2200000
# #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations
# cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit
2600000
2600000
2800000
2800000
# #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation

According to the ACPI spec(section 8.4.4.3) OSPM should convey the _PPC
evaluations status to the platform if there exists the _OST object.
The _OST contains two arguments:
The first is the PERFORMANCE notificatin event.
The second is the status of _PPC object.
OSPM will convey the _PPC evaluation status to the platform.
Of course when the module parameter of "ignore_ppc" is added, OSPM won't
evaluate the _PPC object. But it will call the _OST object.
At the same time the _OST object will be evaluated only when the PERFORMANCE
notification event is received.

When BIOS SETUP is changed to disable EIST, some BIOS
hand the OS an un-initialized _PSS:
Name (_PSS, Package (0x06)
{
Package (0x06)
{
0x80000000, // frequency [MHz]
0x80000000, // power [mW]
0x80000000, // latency [us]
0x80000000, // BM latency [us]
0x80000000, // control
0x80000000 // status
},
...
These are outrageous values for frequency,
power and latency, raising the question where to draw
the line between legal and illegal. We tend to survive
garbage in the power and latency fields, but we can BUG_ON
when garbage is in the frequency field.
Cpufreq multiplies the frequency by 1000 and stores it in a u32 KHz.
So disregard a _PSS with a frequency so large
that it can't be represented by cpufreq.

When cpufreq driver call acpi_processor_preregister_performance() , function
will clean up pr->performance even if there is possibly already registered
other cpufreq driver. The patch fix this potential problem. It also remove
double checks in P domain basic validity code and move these checks to function
where _PSD data is captured.

As of version 2.0, ACPI can return 64-bit integers. The current

Change the argument to take a pointer to an acpi_integer so we support
64-bit integers on all platforms.

On Intel CPUs it is rather common and a good hint that BIOSes which do provide
_PPC func, but not the frequencies itself in _PSS function, are old and need
to be updated for CPU freq support.
