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.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

When we call _PDC, we get a handle to the processor, allocate the
object list buffer as needed, and free it immediately after calling
_PDC.There's no need to drag around this object list with us everywhere
else, so let's just get rid of it.Signed-off-by: Alex Chiang

When calling _PDC, we really only need the handle to the processor
to call the method; we don't look at any other parts of the
struct acpi_processor * given to us.In the early path, when we walk the namespace, we are given the
handle directly, so just pass it through to acpi_processor_set_pdc()
without stuffing it into a wasteful struct acpi_processor allocated
on the stack each timeThis saves 2834 bytes of stack.
Update the interface accordingly.

The only thing arch-specific about calling _PDC is what bits get
set in the input obj_list buffer.There's no need for several levels of indirection to twiddle those
bits. Additionally, since we're just messing around with a buffer,
we can simplify the interface; no need to pass around the entire
struct acpi_processor * just to get at the buffer.Cc: Tony Luck

We discovered that at least one machine (HP Envy), methods in the DSDT
attempt to call external methods defined in a dynamically loaded SSDT.Unfortunately, the DSDT methods we are trying to call are part of the
EC initialization, which happens very early, and the the dynamic SSDT
is only loaded when a processor _PDC method runs much later.This results in namespace lookup errors for the (as of yet) undefined
methods.Since Windows doesn't have any issues with this machine, we take it
as a hint that they must be evaluating _PDC much earlier than we are.Thus, the proper thing for Linux to do should be to match the Windows
implementation more closely.Provide a mechanism to call _PDC before we enable the EC. Doing so loads
the dynamic tables, and allows the EC to be enabled correctly.The ACPI processor driver will still evaluate _PDC in its .add() method
to cover the hotplug case.Resolves: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14824

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) limitiationsTherefore 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-cpufreqTested 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

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.Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui

If the BIOS reports an invalid throttling state (which seems to be
fairly common after system boot), a reset is done to state T0.
Because of a check in acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(), the reset
never actually gets executed, which results in the error reoccurring
on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling.Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure
the reset really takes effect.Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13389
This patch, together with the next one, fixes a regression introduced in
2.6.30, listed on the regression list. They have been available for 2.5
months now in bugzilla, but have not been picked up, despite various
reminders and without any reason given.Google shows that numerous people are hitting this issue. The issue is in
itself relatively minor, but the bug in the code is clear.The patches have been in all my kernels and today testing has shown that
throttling works correctly with the patches applied when the system
overheats (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13918#c14).Signed-off-by: Frans Pop

configured with large NR_CPUS. cpumask_t gets replaced by

Accordint to ACPI spec, the _TSD object provides T-state control cross
logical processor dependency information to OSPM.
After the _TSD data for all cpus are obtained, OSPM will set up
the T-state coordination between CPUs.Of course if the _TSD doesn't exist or _TSD data is incorrect , it is
assumed that there is no T-state coordination and T-state is changed
independently.Now there is no proper solution to update T-state coordination after
one cpu is hotplugged. So this patch won't support hotplugged cpu very well.Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui

Register ACPI processor as thermal cooling devices.
A combination of processor T-state and P-state are used for thermal throttling.
the processor will reduce the frequency first and then set the T-state.we use cpufreq_thermal_reduction_pctg to calculate the cpufreq limit,
and call cpufreq_verify_with_limit to set the cpufreq limit.
if cpufreq driver is loaded, then we have four cooling state for cpufreq control.
cooling state 0: cpufreq limit == max_freq
cooling state 1: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 80%
cooling state 2: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 60%
cooling state 3: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 40%after the cpufreq limit is set to 40 percentage of the max_freq,
we use T-state for cooling.eg. a processor has P-state support, and it has 8 T-state (T0-T7),
the max_state of the proceesor is 10:state cpufreq-limit T-state
0: max_freq T0
1: max_freq * 80% T0

3.) the CPUIDLE idle handler is only ever installed when at least one
cpuidle_device is enabled and ready
4.) the menu governor BM code no longer overflows
5.) the sysfs attributes are now printed as unsigned integers, avoiding
negative values
6.) a variety of other small cleanupsAlso, Idle drivers are no longer swappable during runtime through the
CPUIDLE sysfs inteface. On i386 and x86_64 most idle handlers (e.g.
poll, mwait, halt, etc.) don't benefit from an infrastructure that
supports multiple states, so I think using a more general case idle

commit d7d8fa7f96a7f7682be7c6cc0cc53fa7a18c3b58
Author: Adam Belay
Date: Sat Mar 24 03:47:07 2007 -0400cpuidle: add the 'menu' governor
Here is my first take at implementing an idle PM governor that takes
full advantage of NO_HZ. I call it the 'menu' governor because it
considers the full list of idle states before each entry.I've kept the implementation fairly simple. It attempts to guess the
next residency time and then chooses a state that would meet at least
the break-even point between power savings and entry cost. To this end,
it selects the deepest idle state that satisfies the following
constraints:
1. If the idle time elapsed since bus master activity was detected
is below a threshold (currently 20 ms), then limit the selection
to C2-type or above.
2. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds
the expected time remaining until the next timer interrupt.
3. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds
the elapsed time between the last pair of break events,
excluding timer interrupts.This governor has an advantage over "ladder" governor because it
proactively checks how much time remains until the next timer interrupt
using the tick infrastructure. Also, it handles device interrupt
activity more intelligently by not including timer interrupts in break
event calculations. Finally, it doesn't make policy decisions using the
number of state entries, which can have variable residency times (NO_HZ
makes these potentially very large), and instead only considers sleep
time deltas.The menu governor can be selected during runtime using the cpuidle sysfs
interface like so:
"echo "menu" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_governor"Signed-off-by: Adam Belay

Expose information about the time remaining until the next
timer interrupt expires by utilizing the dynticks infrastructure.
Also modify the main idle loop to allow dynticks to handle
non-interrupt break events (e.g. DMA). Finally, expose sleep ticks
information to external code. Thomas Gleixner is responsible for much
of the code in this patch. However, I've made some additional changes,

Date: Thu Feb 22 13:52:57 2007 -0800cpuidle take2: Core cpuidle infrastructure
Announcing 'cpuidle', a new CPU power management infrastructure to manage
idle CPUs in a clean and efficient manner.
cpuidle separates out the drivers that can provide support for multiple types
of idle states and policy governors that decide on what idle state to use
at run time.
A cpuidle driver can support multiple idle states based on parameters like
varying power consumption, wakeup latency, etc (ACPI C-states for example).
A cpuidle governor can be usage model specific (laptop, server,
laptop on battery etc).
Main advantage of the infrastructure being, it allows independent development
of drivers and governors and allows for better CPU power management.A huge thanks to Adam Belay and Shaohua Li who were part of this mini-project
since its beginning and are greatly responsible for this patchset.This patch:
Core cpuidle infrastructure.
Introduces a new abstraction layer for cpuidle:
* which manages drivers that can support multiple idles states. Drivers
can be generic or particular to specific hardware/platform
* allows pluging in multiple policy governors that can take idle state policy
decision
* The core also has a set of sysfs interfaces with which administrato can know
about supported drivers and governors and switch them at run time.Signed-off-by: Adam Belay

device_suspend() calls ACPI suspend functions, which seems to have undesired
side effects on lower idle C-states. It took me some time to realize that
especially the VAIO BIOSes (both Andrews jinxed UP and my elfstruck SMP one)
show this effect. I'm quite sure that other bug reports against suspend/resume
about turning the system into a brick have the same root cause.After fishing in the dark for quite some time, I realized that removing the ACPI
processor module before suspend (this removes the lower C-state functionality)
made the problem disappear. Interestingly enough the propability of having a
bricked box is influenced by various factors (interrupts, size of the ram image,
...). Even adding a bunch of printks in the wrong places made the problem go
away. The previous periodic tick implementation simply pampered over the
problem, which explains why the dyntick / clockevents changes made this more
prominent.We avoid complex functionality during the boot process and we have to do the
same during suspend/resume. It is a similar scenario and equaly fragile.Add suspend / resume functions to the ACPI processor code and disable the lower
idle C-states across suspend/resume. Fall back to the default idle
implementation (halt) instead.Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

This patch addresses some issues in x86/x86-64 acpi-cpufreq driver:
1. Current memory allocation for acpi_perf_data is actually open-coded
alloc_percpu(). The patch defines and handles acpi_perf_data as percpu
data. The code will be cleaner and easier to be maintained with this
change.2. Won't load driver in acpi_cpufreq_early_init() failure case.
3. Add __init for acpi_cpufreq_early_init().

- replace the big #ifdef ARCH_APICTIMER_STOPS_ON_C3 hackery by functions
- remove the double switch in the power verify function (in the worst case
we switched ipi to apic and 20usec later apic to ipi)- keep track of the the state which stops local APIC timer

Intel processors starting with the Core Duo support
support processor native C-state using the MWAIT instruction.
Refer: Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/manuals/253668.htmPlatform firmware exports the support for Native C-state to OS using
ACPI _PDC and _CST methods.
Refer: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI: Interface Specification
http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/302223.htmWith Processor Native C-state, we use 'MWAIT' instruction on the processor
to enter different C-states (C1, C2, C3). We won't use the special IO
ports to enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter C-state.
Overall this will mean better C-state support.One major advantage of using MWAIT for all C-states is, with this and
"treat interrupt as break event" feature of MWAIT, we can now get accurate
timing for the time spent in C1, C2, .. states.Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi

Track the actual time spent in C-States (C2 upwards, we can't determine this
for C1), not only the number of invocations. This is especially useful for
dynamic ticks / "tickless systems", but is also of interest on normal systems,
as any interrupt activity leads to C-States being exited, not only the timer
interrupt.The time is being measured in PM timer ticks, so an increase by one equals 279
nanoseconds.Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski
