This patch makes the cpuidle_states structure global (single copy)
instead of per-cpu. The statistics needed on per-cpu basis
by the governor are kept per-cpu. This simplifies the cpuidle
subsystem as state registration is done by single cpu only.
Having single copy of cpuidle_states saves memory. Rare case
of asymmetric C-states can be handled within the cpuidle driver
and architectures such as POWER do not have asymmetric C-states.Having single/global registration of all the idle states,
dynamic C-state transitions on x86 are handled by
the boot cpu. Here, the boot cpu would disable all the devices,
re-populate the states and later enable all the devices,
irrespective of the cpu that would receive the notification first.Reference:

After one CPU is offlined, it is unnecessary to switch T-state for it.
So it will be better that the throttling is disabled after the cpu
is offline.
At the same time after one cpu is online, we should check whether
the T-state is supported and then set the corresponding T-state
flag.Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui

Remove deprecated ACPI process procfs I/F for throttling control.
This is because the t-state control should only be done in kernel,
when system is in a overheating state.Now users can only change the processor t-state indirectly,
by poking the cooling device sysfs I/F of the processor.Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui

As a feature that would only be used when system is overheating,
the processor t-state control should not be exported to user space.
Make /proc/acpi/processor/*/throttle depends on CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS,
which is cleared by default.
And we will remove this I/F in 2.6.38.Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui

Patch is against latest Linus master branch and is expected to be
safe bug fix.You get:
ACPI: HARDWARE addr space,NOT supported yet
for each ACPI defined CPU which status is active, but exceeds
maxcpus= count.As these "not booted" CPUs do not run an idle routine
and echo X >/proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling did not work
I couldn't find a way to really access not onlined/booted
machines. Still this should get fixed and
/proc/acpi/processor/X dirs of cores exceeding maxcpus
should not show up.I wonder whether this could get cleaned up by truncating possible cpu mask
and nr_cpu_ids to setup_max_cpus early some day
(and not exporting setup_max_cpus anymore then).
But this needs touching of a lot other places...Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger

This EXPERIMENTAL driver supersedes acpi_idle on
Intel Atom Processors, Intel Core i3/i5/i7 Processors
and associated Intel Xeon processors.It does not support the Intel Core2 processor or earlier.
For kernels configured with ACPI, CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=y
allows intel_idle to probe before the ACPI processor driver.
Booting with "intel_idle.max_cstate=0" disables intel_idle
and the system will fall back on ACPI's "acpi_idle".Typical Linux distributions load ACPI processor module early,
making CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=m not easily useful on ACPI platforms.intel_idle probes all processors at module_init time.
Processors that are hot-added later will be limited
to using C1 in idle.Signed-off-by: Len Brown

The ACPI driver would fail probe when it found that
another driver had previously registered with cpuidle.But this is a natural situation, as a native hardware
cpuidle driver should be able to bind instead of ACPI,
and the ACPI processor driver should be able to handle
yielding control of C-states while still handling
P-states and T-states.Add a KERN_DEBUG line showing when acpi_idle
does successfully register.Signed-off-by: Len Brown

…it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Now that the early _PDC evaluation path knows how to correctly
evaluate _PDC on only physically present processors, there's no
need for the processor driver to evaluate it later when it loads.To cover the hotplug case, push _PDC evaluation down into the
hotplug paths.Cc: x86@kernel.org

The ACPI processor driver can be built as a module. But it has
pieces of code that should always be built statically into the
kernel.The plan is for processor_core.c to contain the static bits while
processor_driver.c contains the module-like bits.Since the bulk of the code in the current processor_core.c is
module-like, first step is to rename the file to processor_driver.cNext step will re-create processor_core.c and cherry-pick out
the static bits.Acked-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi
