Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the total number of ACPI commits is slightly greater than
the number of cpufreq commits, but Viresh Kumar (who works on cpufreq)
remains the most active patch submitter.
To me, the most significant change is the addition of offline/online
device operations to the driver core (with the Greg's blessing) and
the related modifications of the ACPI core hotplug code. Next are the
freezer updates from Colin Cross that should make the freezing of
tasks a bit less heavy weight.
We also have a couple of regression fixes, a number of fixes for
issues that have not been identified as regressions, two new drivers
and a bunch of cleanups all over.
Highlights:
- Hotplug changes to support graceful hot-removal failures.
It sometimes is necessary to fail device hot-removal operations
gracefully if they cannot be carried out completely. For example,
if memory from a memory module being hot-removed has been allocated
for the kernel's own use and cannot be moved elsewhere, it's
desirable to fail the hot-removal operation in a graceful way
rather than to crash the kernel, but currenty a success or a kernel
crash are the only possible outcomes of an attempted memory
hot-removal. Needless to say, that is not a very attractive
alternative and it had to be addressed.
However, in order to make it work for memory, I first had to make
it work for CPUs and for this purpose I needed to modify the ACPI
processor driver. It's been split into two parts, a resident one
handling the low-level initialization/cleanup and a modular one
playing the actual driver's role (but it binds to the CPU system
device objects rather than to the ACPI device objects representing
processors). That's been sort of like a live brain surgery on a
patient who's riding a bike.
So this is a little scary, but since we found and fixed a couple of
regressions it caused to happen during the early linux-next testing
(a month ago), nobody has complained.
As a bonus we remove some duplicated ACPI hotplug code, because the
ACPI-based CPU hotplug is now going to use the common ACPI hotplug
code.
- Lighter weight freezing of tasks.
These changes from Colin Cross and Mandeep Singh Baines are
targeted at making the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight
operation. They reduce the number of tasks woken up every time
during the freezing, by using the observation that the freezer
simply doesn't need to wake up some of them and wait for them all
to call refrigerator(). The time needed for the freezer to decide
to report a failure is reduced too.
Also reintroduced is the check causing a lockdep warining to
trigger when try_to_freeze() is called with locks held (which is
generally unsafe and shouldn't happen).
- cpufreq updates
First off, a commit from Srivatsa S Bhat fixes a resume regression
introduced during the 3.10 cycle causing some cpufreq sysfs
attributes to return wrong values to user space after resume. The
fix is kind of fresh, but also it's pretty obvious once Srivatsa
has identified the root cause.
Second, we have a new freqdomain_cpus sysfs attribute for the
acpi-cpufreq driver to provide information previously available via
related_cpus. From Lan Tianyu.
Finally, we fix a number of issues, mostly related to the
CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and cpufreq Kconfig options and clean
up some code. The majority of changes from Viresh Kumar with bits
from Jacob Shin, Heiko Stübner, Xiaoguang Chen, Ezequiel Garcia,
Arnd Bergmann, and Tang Yuantian.
- ACPICA update
A usual bunch of updates from the ACPICA upstream.
During the 3.4 cycle we introduced support for ACPI 5 extended
sleep registers, but they are only supposed to be used if the
HW-reduced mode bit is set in the FADT flags and the code attempted
to use them without checking that bit. That caused suspend/resume
regressions to happen on some systems. Fix from Lv Zheng causes
those registers to be used only if the HW-reduced mode bit is set.
Apart from this some other ACPICA bugs are fixed and code cleanups
are made by Bob Moore, Tomasz Nowicki, Lv Zheng, Chao Guan, and
Zhang Rui.
- cpuidle updates
New driver for Xilinx Zynq processors is added by Michal Simek.
Multidriver support simplification, addition of some missing
kerneldoc comments and Kconfig-related fixes come from Daniel
Lezcano.
- ACPI power management updates
Changes to make suspend/resume work correctly in Xen guests from
Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, sparse warning fix from Fengguang Wu and
cleanups and fixes of the ACPI device power state selection
routine.
- ACPI documentation updates
Some previously missing pieces of ACPI documentation are added by
Lv Zheng and Aaron Lu (hopefully, that will help people to
uderstand how the ACPI subsystem works) and one outdated doc is
updated by Hanjun Guo.
- Assorted ACPI updates
We finally nailed down the IA-64 issue that was the reason for
reverting commit 9f29ab11dd ("ACPI / scan: do not match drivers
against objects having scan handlers"), so we can fix it and move
the ACPI scan handler check added to the ACPI video driver back to
the core.
A mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers is
introduced by Lan Tianyu to allow some EC-related breakage to be
fixed on some systems.
A spec-compliant implementation of acpi_os_get_timer() is added by
Mika Westerberg.
The evaluation of _STA is added to do_acpi_find_child() to avoid
situations in which a pointer to a disabled device object is
returned instead of an enabled one with the same _ADR value. From
Jeff Wu.
Intel BayTrail PCH (Platform Controller Hub) support is added to
the ACPI driver for Intel Low-Power Subsystems (LPSS) and that
driver is modified to work around a couple of known BIOS issues.
Changes from Mika Westerberg and Heikki Krogerus.
The EC driver is fixed by Vasiliy Kulikov to use get_user() and
put_user() instead of dereferencing user space pointers blindly.
Code cleanups are made by Bjorn Helgaas, Nicholas Mazzuca and Toshi
Kani.
- Assorted power management updates
The "runtime idle" helper routine is changed to take the return
values of the callbacks executed by it into account and to call
rpm_suspend() if they return 0, which allows us to reduce the
overall code bloat a bit (by dropping some code that's not
necessary any more after that modification).
The runtime PM documentation is updated by Alan Stern (to reflect
the "runtime idle" behavior change).
New trace points for PM QoS are added by Sahara
(<keun-o.park@windriver.com>).
PM QoS documentation is updated by Lan Tianyu.
Code cleanups are made and minor issues are addressed by Bernie
Thompson, Bjorn Helgaas, Julius Werner, and Shuah Khan.
- devfreq updates
New driver for the Exynos5-bus device from Abhilash Kesavan.
Minor cleanups, fixes and MAINTAINERS update from MyungJoo Ham,
Abhilash Kesavan, Paul Bolle, Rajagopal Venkat, and Wei Yongjun.
- OMAP power management updates

Pull ARM SoC specific changes from Arnd Bergmann:
"These changes are all to SoC-specific code, a total of 33 branches on
17 platforms were pulled into this. Like last time, Renesas sh-mobile
is now the platform with the most changes, followed by OMAP and
EXYNOS.
Two new platforms, TI Keystone and Rockchips RK3xxx are added in this
branch, both containing almost no platform specific code at all, since
they are using generic subsystem interfaces for clocks, pinctrl,
interrupts etc. The device drivers are getting merged through the
respective subsystem maintainer trees.
One more SoC (u300) is now multiplatform capable and several others
(shmobile, exynos, msm, integrator, kirkwood, clps711x) are moving
towards that goal with this series but need more work.
Also noteworthy is the work on PCI here, which is traditionally part
of the SoC specific code. With the changes done by Thomas Petazzoni,
we can now more easily have PCI host controller drivers as loadable
modules and keep them separate from the platform code in
drivers/pci/host. This has already led to the discovery that three
platforms (exynos, spear and imx) are actually using an identical PCIe
host controller and will be able to share a driver once support for
spear and imx is added."

Commit bf4d1b5 (cpuidle: support multiple drivers) introduced support
for using multiple cpuidle drivers at the same time. It added a
couple of new APIs to register the driver per CPU, but that led to
some unnecessary code complexity related to the kernel config options
deciding whether or not the multiple driver support is enabled. The
code has to work as it did before when the multiple driver support is
not enabled and the multiple driver support has to be compatible with
the previously existing API.
Remove the new API, not used by any driver in the tree yet (but
needed for the HMP cpuidle drivers that will be submitted soon), and
add a new cpumask pointer to the cpuidle driver structure that will
point to the mask of CPUs handled by the given driver. That will
allow the cpuidle_[un]register_driver() API to be used for the
multiple driver support along with the cpuidle_[un]register()
functions added recently.

Each governor is suitable for different kernel configurations: the menu
governor suits better for a tickless system, while the ladder governor fits
better for a periodic timer tick system.
The Kconfig does not allow to [un]select a governor, thus both are compiled in
the kernel but the init order makes the menu governor to be the last one to be
registered, so becoming the default. The only way to switch back to the ladder
governor is to enable the sysfs governor switch in the kernel command line.
Because it seems nobody complained about this, the menu governor is used by
default most of the time on the system, having both governors is not really
necessary on a tickless system but there isn't a config option to disable one
or another governor.
Create a submenu for cpuidle and add a label for each governor, so we can see
the option in the menu config and enable/disable it.
The governors will be enabled depending on the CONFIG_NO_HZ option:
- If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, then the menu governor is selected and the ladder
governor is optional, defaulting to 'yes'
- If CONFIG_NO_HZ is not set, then the ladder governor is selected and the
menu governor is optional, defaulting to 'yes'

Currently cpuidle drivers are spread across different archs.
As a result, there are several different paths for cpuidle patch
submissions: cpuidle core changes go through linux-pm, ARM driver
changes go to the arm-soc or SoC-specific trees, sh changes go
through the sh arch tree, pseries changes go through the PowerPC tree
and finally intel changes go through the Len's tree while ACPI idle
changes go through linux-pm.
That makes it difficult to consolidate code and to propagate
modifications from the cpuidle core to the different drivers.
Hopefully, a movement has started to put the majority of cpuidle
drivers under drivers/cpuidle like cpuidle-calxeda.c and
cpuidle-kirkwood.c.
Add a maintainer entry for cpuidle to MAINTAINERS to clarify the
situation and to indicate to new cpuidle driver authors that those
drivers should not go into arch-specific directories.
The upstreaming process is unchanged: Rafael takes patches for
merging into his tree, but with an Acked-by: tag from the driver's
maintainer, so indicate in the drivers' headers who maintains them.
The arrangement will be the same as for cpufreq.

The usual scheme to initialize a cpuidle driver on a SMP is:
cpuidle_register_driver(drv);
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
device = &per_cpu(cpuidle_dev, cpu);
cpuidle_register_device(device);
}
This code is duplicated in each cpuidle driver.
On UP systems, it is done this way:
cpuidle_register_driver(drv);
device = &per_cpu(cpuidle_dev, cpu);
cpuidle_register_device(device);
On UP, the macro 'for_each_cpu' does one iteration:
#define for_each_cpu(cpu, mask) \
for ((cpu) = 0; (cpu) < 1; (cpu)++, (void)mask)
Hence, the initialization loop is the same for UP than SMP.
Beside, we saw different bugs / mis-initialization / return code unchecked in
the different drivers, the code is duplicated including bugs. After fixing all
these ones, it appears the initialization pattern is the same for everyone.
Please note, some drivers are doing dev->state_count = drv->state_count. This is
not necessary because it is done by the cpuidle_enable_device function in the
cpuidle framework. This is true, until you have the same states for all your
devices. Otherwise, the 'low level' API should be used instead with the specific
initialization for the driver.
Let's add a wrapper function doing this initialization with a cpumask parameter
for the coupled idle states and use it for all the drivers.
That will save a lot of LOC, consolidate the code, and the modifications in the
future could be done in a single place. Another benefit is the consolidation of
the cpuidle_device variable which is now in the cpuidle framework and no longer
spread accross the different arch specific drivers.

As can be seen from context, most already have a trace entry via

Also, the cpufreq/cpufreq.c PSTATE one is actually unpaired, as

We realized that the power usage field is never filled and when it

of these values to be reset when the driver is initialized with
set_power_state().
However, the power_specified flag can be simply removed under the
assumption that the states are always backward sorted, which is the
case with the current code.
This change allows the menu governor select function and the
cpuidle_play_dead() to be simplified. Moreover, the
set_power_states() function can removed as it does not make sense
any more.
Drop the power_specified flag from struct cpuidle_driver and make
the related changes as described above.
As a consequence, this also fixes the bug where on the dynamic
C-states system, the power fields are not initialized.

Commit bf4d1b5 (cpuidle: support multiple drivers) introduced
locking in cpuidle_get_cpu_driver(), which is used in the
idle_call() function.
This leads to a contention problem with a large number of CPUs,
because they all try to run the idle routine at the same time.
The lock can be safely removed because of how is used the cpuidle
API. Namely, cpuidle_register_driver() is called first, but the
cpuidle idle function is not entered before cpuidle_register_device()
is called, because the cpuidle device is not enabled then. Moreover,
cpuidle_unregister_driver(), which would reset the driver value to
NULL, is not called before cpuidle_unregister_device().
All of the cpuidle drivers use the API in the same way.
In general, a cleanup around the lock is necessary and a proper
refcounting mechanism should be used to ensure the consistency in the
API (for example, cpuidle_unregister_driver() should fail if the
driver's refcount is not 0). However, these modifications will require
some code reorganization and rewrite which will be too intrusive for
a fix.
For this reason, fix the contention problem introduced by commit
bf4d1b5 by simply removing the locking from cpuidle_get_cpu_driver(),
which restores the original behavior of that routine.
