Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

Impact: Reduce memory usage, use new API.
This is part of an effort to reduce structure sizes for machines
configured with large NR_CPUS. cpumask_t gets replaced by
cpumask_var_t, which is either struct cpumask[1] (small NR_CPUS) or
struct cpumask * (large NR_CPUS).

This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".
To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.
We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.
We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.

Associating a Local SAPIC with a processor object is dependent upon the
processor object's definition type. CPUs declared as "Processor" should
use the Local SAPIC's 'processor_id', and CPUs declared as "Device"
should use the 'uid'. Note that for "Processor" declarations, even if a
'_UID' child object exists, it has no bearing with respect to mapping
Local SAPICs (see section 5.2.11.13 - Local SAPIC Structure; "Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface Specification", Revision 3.0b).
This patch changes the lsapic mapping logic to rely on the distinction of
how the processor object was declared - the mapping can't just try both
types of matches regardless of declaration type and rely on one failing
as is currently being done.

"idle=nomwait" disables the use of the MWAIT
instruction from both C1 (C1_FFH) and deeper (C2C3_FFH)
C-states.
When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally
negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1,
and use IO accesses for deeper C-states.
This option is useful for power and performance
comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs
where broken MWAIT support is advertised.

However, that physical topology information can be obtained
via ACPI.
Provide an interface that gives ACPI one last chance to provide
physical_id for these legacy platforms. This logic only comes
into play iff:
- ACPI actually provides slot information for the CPU
- we lack a valid socket_id
Otherwise, we don't do anything.

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

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
2: max_freq * 60% T0
3: max_freq * 40% T0
4: max_freq * 40% T1
5: max_freq * 40% T2
6: max_freq * 40% T3
7: max_freq * 40% T4

ACPI uses NR_CPUS in various loops and in some it accesses per cpu data of
processors that are not present(!) and that will never be present.
The pointers to per cpu data are typically not initialized for processors
that are not present. So we seem to be reading something here from offset
0 in memory.
Make ACPI use nr_cpu_ids instead. That stops at the end of the possible
processors.
Convert one loop to NR_CPUS to use the cpu_possible map instead. That way
ranges of processor that can never be brought online are skipped during the

CPUIDLE: handle BM detection inside the ACPI Processor driver
Update the ACPI processor driver to detect BM activity and
limit state entry depth internally, rather than exposing such
requirements to CPUIDLE. As a result, CPUIDLE can drop this
ACPI-specific interface and become more platform independent. BM
activity is now handled much more aggressively than it was in the
original implementation, so some testing coverage may be needed to
verify that this doesn't introduce any DMA buffer under-run issues.

CPUIDLE: menu governor updates
Tweak the menu governor to more effectively handle non-timer
break events. Non-timer break events are detected by comparing the
actual sleep time to the expected sleep time. In future revisions, it
may be more reliable to use the timer data structures directly.

cpuidle: re-write
Some portions have been rewritten to make the code cleaner and lighter
weight. The following is a list of changes:
1.) the state name is now included in the sysfs interface
2.) detection, hotplug, and available state modifications are handled by
CPUIDLE drivers directly
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 cleanups
Also, 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
handler selection mechanism would be cleaner.

cpuidle: 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"

Also modify the main idle loop to allow dynticks to handle

information to external code. Thomas Gleixner is responsible for much
of the code in this patch. However, I've made some additional changes,

x86-64 expects all idle handlers to enable interrupts before returning from

cpuidle 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

about supported drivers and governors and switch them at run time.
