     regression: disable timer peek-ahead for 2.6.28

     It's showing up as regressions; disabling it very likely just papers
     over an underlying issue, but time is running out for 2.6.28, lets get
     back to this for 2.6.29

 Many years has passed since 2008, so it seems ok to remove whole `#if 0' block.

cpuidle: add checks to avoid NULL pointer dereference

The existing check for dev == NULL in __cpuidle_register_device() is
rendered useless because dev is dereferenced before the check itself.
Moreover, correctly speaking, it is the job of the callers of this
function, i.e., cpuidle_register_device() & cpuidle_enable_device() (which
also happen to be exported functions) to ensure that
__cpuidle_register_device() is called with a non-NULL dev.

So add the necessary dev == NULL checks in the two callers and remove the
(useless) check from __cpuidle_register_device().

cpuidle: refactor out cpuidle_enter_state

Split the code to enter a state and update the stats into a helper
function, cpuidle_enter_state, and export it.  This function will
be called by the coupled state code to handle entering the safe
state and the final coupled state.

cpuidle: add support for states that affect multiple cpus

On some ARM SMP SoCs (OMAP4460, Tegra 2, and probably more), the
cpus cannot be independently powered down, either due to
sequencing restrictions (on Tegra 2, cpu 0 must be the last to
power down), or due to HW bugs (on OMAP4460, a cpu powering up
will corrupt the gic state unless the other cpu runs a work
around).  Each cpu has a power state that it can enter without
coordinating with the other cpu (usually Wait For Interrupt, or
WFI), and one or more "coupled" power states that affect blocks
shared between the cpus (L2 cache, interrupt controller, and
sometimes the whole SoC).  Entering a coupled power state must
be tightly controlled on both cpus.

The easiest solution to implementing coupled cpu power states is
to hotplug all but one cpu whenever possible, usually using a
cpufreq governor that looks at cpu load to determine when to
enable the secondary cpus.  This causes problems, as hotplug is an
expensive operation, so the number of hotplug transitions must be
minimized, leading to very slow response to loads, often on the
order of seconds.

This file implements an alternative solution, where each cpu will
wait in the WFI state until all cpus are ready to enter a coupled
state, at which point the coupled state function will be called
on all cpus at approximately the same time.

Once all cpus are ready to enter idle, they are woken by an smp
cross call.  At this point, there is a chance that one of the
cpus will find work to do, and choose not to enter idle.  A
final pass is needed to guarantee that all cpus will call the
power state enter function at the same time.  During this pass,
each cpu will increment the ready counter, and continue once the
ready counter matches the number of online coupled cpus.  If any
cpu exits idle, the other cpus will decrement their counter and
retry.

To use coupled cpuidle states, a cpuidle driver must:

   Set struct cpuidle_device.coupled_cpus to the mask of all
   coupled cpus, usually the same as cpu_possible_mask if all cpus
   are part of the same cluster.  The coupled_cpus mask must be
   set in the struct cpuidle_device for each cpu.

   Set struct cpuidle_device.safe_state to a state that is not a
   coupled state.  This is usually WFI.

   Set CPUIDLE_FLAG_COUPLED in struct cpuidle_state.flags for each
   state that affects multiple cpus.

   Provide a struct cpuidle_state.enter function for each state
   that affects multiple cpus.  This function is guaranteed to be
   called on all cpus at approximately the same time.  The driver
   should ensure that the cpus all abort together if any cpu tries
   to abort once the function is called.

update1:

cpuidle: coupled: fix count of online cpus

online_count was never incremented on boot, and was also counting
cpus that were not part of the coupled set.  Fix both issues by
introducting a new function that counts online coupled cpus, and
call it from register as well as the hotplug notifier.

update2:

cpuidle: coupled: fix decrementing ready count

cpuidle_coupled_set_not_ready sometimes refuses to decrement the
ready count in order to prevent a race condition.  This makes it
unsuitable for use when finished with idle.  Add a new function
cpuidle_coupled_set_done that decrements both the ready count and
waiting count, and call it after idle is complete.

cpuidle: move field disable from per-driver to per-cpu

Andrew J.Schorr raises a question.  When he changes the disable setting on
a single CPU, it affects all the other CPUs.  Basically, currently, the
disable field is per-driver instead of per-cpu.  All the C states of the
same driver are shared by all CPU in the same machine.

The patch changes the `disable' field to per-cpu, so we could set this
separately for each cpu.

PM / Domains: Add preliminary support for cpuidle, v2

On some systems there are CPU cores located in the same power
domains as I/O devices.  Then, power can only be removed from the
domain if all I/O devices in it are not in use and the CPU core
is idle.  Add preliminary support for that to the generic PM domains
framework.

First, the platform is expected to provide a cpuidle driver with one
extra state designated for use with the generic PM domains code.
This state should be initially disabled and its exit_latency value
should be set to whatever time is needed to bring up the CPU core
itself after restoring power to it, not including the domain's
power on latency.  Its .enter() callback should point to a procedure
that will remove power from the domain containing the CPU core at
the end of the CPU power transition.

The remaining characteristics of the extra cpuidle state, referred to
as the "domain" cpuidle state below, (e.g. power usage, target
residency) should be populated in accordance with the properties of
the hardware.

Next, the platform should execute genpd_attach_cpuidle() on the PM
domain containing the CPU core.  That will cause the generic PM
domains framework to treat that domain in a special way such that:

 * When all devices in the domain have been suspended and it is about
   to be turned off, the states of the devices will be saved, but
   power will not be removed from the domain.  Instead, the "domain"
   cpuidle state will be enabled so that power can be removed from
   the domain when the CPU core is idle and the state has been chosen
   as the target by the cpuidle governor.

 * When the first I/O device in the domain is resumed and
   __pm_genpd_poweron(() is called for the first time after
   power has been removed from the domain, the "domain" cpuidle
   state will be disabled to avoid subsequent surprise power removals
   via cpuidle.

The effective exit_latency value of the "domain" cpuidle state
depends on the time needed to bring up the CPU core itself after
restoring power to it as well as on the power on latency of the
domain containing the CPU core.  Thus the "domain" cpuidle state's
exit_latency has to be recomputed every time the domain's power on
latency is updated, which may happen every time power is restored
to the domain, if the measured power on latency is greater than
the latency stored in the corresponding generic_pm_domain structure.

PM / cpuidle: System resume hang fix with cpuidle

On certain bios, resume hangs if cpus are allowed to enter idle states
during suspend [1].

This was fixed in apci idle driver [2].But intel_idle driver does not
have this fix. Thus instead of replicating the fix in both the idle
drivers, or in more platform specific idle drivers if needed, the
more general cpuidle infrastructure could handle this.

A suspend callback in cpuidle_driver could handle this fix. But
a cpuidle_driver provides only basic functionalities like platform idle
state detection capability and mechanisms to support entry and exit
into CPU idle states. All other cpuidle functions are found in the
cpuidle generic infrastructure for good reason that all cpuidle
drivers, irrepective of their platforms will support these functions.

One option therefore would be to register a suspend callback in cpuidle
which handles this fix. This could be called through a PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE
notifier. But this is too generic a notfier for a driver to handle.

Also, ideally the job of cpuidle is not to handle side effects of suspend.
It should expose the interfaces which "handle cpuidle 'during' suspend"
or any other operation, which the subsystems call during that respective
operation.

The fix demands that during suspend, no cpus should be allowed to enter
deep C-states. The interface cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler() in cpuidle
ensures that. Not just that it also kicks all the cpus which are already
in idle out of their idle states which was being done during cpu hotplug
through a CPU_DYING_FROZEN callbacks.

Now the question arises about when during suspend should
cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler() be called. Since we are dealing with
drivers it seems best to call this function during dpm_suspend().
Delaying the call till dpm_suspend_noirq() does no harm, as long as it is
before cpu_hotplug_begin() to avoid race conditions with cpu hotpulg
operations. In dpm_suspend_noirq(), it would be wise to place this call
before suspend_device_irqs() to avoid ugly interactions with the same.

Ananlogously, during resume.

Analysis:
Commit 3d339dc (cpuidle / ACPI : move cpuidle_device field out of the
acpi_processor_power structure()) made the allocation of the dev structure
(struct cpuidle) of a CPU dynamic, whereas previously it was statically
allocated. And this dynamic allocation occurs in acpi_processor_power_init()
if pr->flags.power evaluates to non-zero.

On KVM guests, pr->flags.power evaluates to zero, hence dev is never
allocated. This causes the NULL pointer (dev) dereference in
cpuidle_disable_device() during a subsequent CPU online operation. Fix this
by ensuring that dev is non-NULL before dereferencing.

In this situation, it will use the residency of previous really entered target

PM / tracing: remove deprecated power trace API

The text in Documentation said it would be removed in 2.6.41;
the text in the Kconfig said removal in the 3.1 release.  Either
way you look at it, we are well past both, so push it off a cliff.

Note that the POWER_CSTATE and the POWER_PSTATE are part of the
legacy tracing API.  Remove all tracepoints which use these flags.
As can be seen from context, most already have a trace entry via
trace_cpu_idle anyways.

Also, the cpufreq/cpufreq.c PSTATE one is actually unpaired, as
compared to the CSTATE ones which all have a clear start/stop.
As part of this, the trace_power_frequency also becomes orphaned,
so it too is deleted.

cpuidle : handle clockevent notify from the cpuidle framework

When a cpu enters a deep idle state, the local timers are stopped and
the time framework falls back to the timer device used as a broadcast
timer.

The different cpuidle drivers are calling clockevents_notify ENTER/EXIT
when the idle state stops the local timer.

Add a new flag CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP which can be set by the cpuidle
drivers. If the flag is set, the cpuidle core code takes care of the
notification on behalf of the driver to avoid pointless code duplication.

Honor state disabling in the cpuidle ladder governor

There are two cpuidle governors ladder and menu. While the ladder
governor is always available, if CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is selected, the
menu governor additionally requires CONFIG_NO_HZ.

A particular C state can be disabled by writing to the sysfs file
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/cpuidle/stateN/disable, but this mechanism
is only implemented in the menu governor. Thus, in a system where
CONFIG_NO_HZ is not selected, the ladder governor becomes default and
always will walk through all sleep states - irrespective of whether the
C state was disabled via sysfs or not. The only way to select a specific
C state was to write the related latency to /dev/cpu_dma_latency and
keep the file open as long as this setting was required - not very
practical and not suitable for setting a single core in an SMP system.

With this patch, the ladder governor only will promote to the next
C state, if it has not been disabled, and it will demote, if the
current C state was disabled.

Note that the patch does not make the setting of the sysfs variable
"disable" coherent, i.e. if one is disabling a light state, then all
deeper states are disabled as well, but the "disable" variable does not
reflect it. Likewise, if one enables a deep state but a lighter state
still is disabled, then this has no effect. A related section has been
added to the documentation.

PM / cpuidle: Make ladder governor use the "disabled" state flag

For the mechanism introduced by commit cbc9ef0 (PM / Domains: Add
preliminary support for cpuidle, v2) to work with the ladder
governor, that governor should respect the "disabled" state flag
added by that commit.  Change the ladder governor accordingly.

cpuidle: remove some empty lines

This mindless patch is just about removing some trailing
carriage returns.
