Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "These make hibernation on 32-bit x86 systems work in all of the cases in which it works on 64-bit x86 ones, update the menu cpuidle governor and the "polling" state to make them more efficient, add more hardware support to cpufreq drivers and fix issues with some of them, fix a bug in the conservative cpufreq governor, fix the operating performance points (OPP) framework and make it more stable, update the devfreq subsystem to take changes in the APIs used by into account and clean up some things all over. Specifics: - Backport hibernation bug fixes from x86-64 to x86-32 and consolidate hibernation handling on x86 to allow 32-bit systems to work in all of the cases in which 64-bit ones work (Zhimin Gu, Chen Yu). - Fix hibernation documentation (Vladimir D. Seleznev). - Update the menu cpuidle governor to fix a couple of issues with it, make it more efficient in some cases and clean it up (Rafael Wysocki). - Rework the cpuidle polling state implementation to make it more efficient (Rafael Wysocki). - Clean up the cpuidle core somewhat (Fieah Lim). - Fix the cpufreq conservative governor to take policy limits into account properly in some cases (Rafael Wysocki). - Add support for retrieving guaranteed performance information to the ACPI CPPC library and make the intel_pstate driver use it to expose the CPU base frequency via sysfs on systems with the hardware-managed P-states (HWP) feature enabled (Srinivas Pandruvada). - Fix clang warning in the CPPC cpufreq driver (Nathan Chancellor). - Get rid of device_node.name printing from cpufreq (Rob Herring). - Remove unnecessary unlikely() from the cpufreq core (Igor Stoppa). - Add support for the r8a7744 SoC to the cpufreq-dt driver (Biju Das). - Update the dt-platdev cpufreq driver to allow RK3399 to have separate tunables per cluster (Dmitry Torokhov). - Fix the dma_alloc_coherent() usage in the tegra186 cpufreq driver (Christoph Hellwig). - Make the imx6q cpufreq driver read OCOTP through nvmem for imx6ul/imx6ull (Anson Huang). - Fix several bugs in the operating performance points (OPP) framework and make it more stable (Viresh Kumar, Dave Gerlach). - Update the devfreq subsystem to take changes in the APIs used by into account, fix some issues with it and make it stop print device_node.name directly (Bjorn Andersson, Enric Balletbo i Serra, Matthias Kaehlcke, Rob Herring, Vincent Donnefort, zhong jiang). - Prepare the generic power domains (genpd) framework for dealing with domains containing CPUs (Ulf Hansson). - Prevent sysfs attributes representing low-power S0 residency counters from being exposed if low-power S0 support is not indicated in ACPI FADT (Rajneesh Bhardwaj). - Get rid of custom CPU features macros for Intel CPUs from the intel_idle and RAPL drivers (Andy Shevchenko). - Update the tasks freezer to list tasks that refused to freeze and caused a system transition to a sleep state to be aborted (Todd Brandt). - Update the pm-graph set of tools to v5.2 (Todd Brandt). - Fix some issues in the cpupower utility (Anders Roxell, Prarit Bhargava)" * tag 'pm-4.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (73 commits) PM / Domains: Document flags for genpd PM / Domains: Deal with multiple states but no governor in genpd PM / Domains: Don't treat zero found compatible idle states as an error cpuidle: menu: Avoid computations when result will be discarded cpuidle: menu: Drop redundant comparison cpufreq: tegra186: don't pass GFP_DMA32 to dma_alloc_coherent() cpufreq: conservative: Take limits changes into account properly Documentation: intel_pstate: Add base_frequency information cpufreq: intel_pstate: Add base_frequency attribute ACPI / CPPC: Add support for guaranteed performance cpuidle: menu: Simplify checks related to the polling state PM / tools: sleepgraph and bootgraph: upgrade to v5.2 PM / tools: sleepgraph: first batch of v5.2 changes cpupower: Fix coredump on VMWare cpupower: Fix AMD Family 0x17 msr_pstate size cpufreq: imx6q: read OCOTP through nvmem for imx6ul/imx6ull cpufreq: dt-platdev: allow RK3399 to have separate tunables per cluster cpuidle: poll_state: Revise loop termination condition cpuidle: menu: Move the latency_req == 0 special case check cpuidle: menu: Avoid computations for very close timers ...

policy for the time interval between the last two invocations of the
driver's utilization update callback by the CPU scheduler for that CPU.
+One more policy attribute is present if the `HWP feature is enabled in the

The meaning of these attributes in the `passive mode <Passive Mode_>`_ is the
same as for other scaling drivers.
