Rafael J. Wysocki 51fac8388a ACPI: Remove useless type argument of driver .remove() operation
The second argument of ACPI driver .remove() operation is only used
by the ACPI processor driver and the value passed to that driver
through it is always available from the given struct acpi_device
object's removal_type field.  For this reason, the second ACPI driver
.remove() argument is in fact useless, so drop it.

Len Brown fa7584e13a ACPI: acpi_pad: tune round_robin_time
In an effort to be fair to bound processes,
acpi_pad periodically moves its forced-idle threads.

The default interval for moving the threads is 10 seconds.
Measurements show that reducing this to 1 second has no
power or performance impact, so reduce default to 1 second.

Stuart Hayes 5f16012610 acpi_pad: fix power_saving thread deadlock
The acpi_pad driver can get stuck in destroy_power_saving_task()
waiting for kthread_stop() to stop a power_saving thread.  The problem
is that the isolated_cpus_lock mutex is owned when
destroy_power_saving_task() calls kthread_stop(), which waits for a
power_saving thread to end, and the power_saving thread tries to
acquire the isolated_cpus_lock when it calls round_robin_cpu().  This
patch fixes the issue by making round_robin_cpu() use its own mutex.

Venkatesh Pallipadi 0dc698b93f ACPI: Don't let acpi_pad needlessly mark TSC unstable
acpi pad driver kind of aggressively marks TSC as unstable at init
time, on mwait capable and non X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC systems. This is
irrespective of whether pad driver is ever going to be used on the
system or deep C-states are supported/used. This will affect every user
who just happens to compile in (or get a kernel version which
compiles in) acpi pad driver.

Move mark_tsc_unstable() out of init to the actual idle invocation path
of the pad driver.

There is also another bug/missing_feature in the code that it does not
support 'always running apic timer' and switches to broadcast mode
unconditionally. Shaohua, can you take a look at that please.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit 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 allmodconfig

8. 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.

Shaohua Li 8e0af5141a ACPI: create Processor Aggregator Device driver
ACPI 4.0 created the logical "processor aggregator device" as
a mechinism for platforms to ask the OS to force otherwise busy
processors to enter (power saving) idle.

The intent is to lower power consumption to ride-out
transient electrical and thermal emergencies,
rather than powering off the server.

On platforms that can save more power/performance via P-states,
the platform will first exhaust P-states before forcing idle.
However, the relative benefit of P-states vs. idle states
is platform dependent, and thus this driver need not know
or care about it.

This driver does not use the kernel's CPU hot-plug mechanism
because after the transient emergency is over, the system must
be returned to its normal state, and hotplug would permanently
break both cpusets and binding.

So to force idle, the driver creates a power saving thread.
The scheduler will migrate the thread to the preferred CPU.
The thread has max priority and has SCHED_RR policy,
so it can occupy one CPU.  To save power, the thread will
invoke the deep C-state entry instructions.

To avoid starvation, the thread will sleep 5% of the time
time for every second (current RT scheduler has threshold
to avoid starvation, but if other CPUs are idle,
the CPU can borrow CPU timer from other,
which makes the mechanism not work here)

Vaidyanathan Srinivasan has proposed scheduler enhancements
to allow injecting idle time into the system.  This driver doesn't
depend on those enhancements, but could cut over to them
when they are available.

Peter Z. does not favor upstreaming this driver until
the those scheduler enhancements are in place.  However,
we favor upstreaming this driver now because it is useful
now, and can be enhanced over time.
