ladder governor only honored latency requirement when promoting C-states.
Instead. it should check for latency requirement on each idle call,
and demote to appropriate C-state when there is a latency requirement change.

There is a bug in menu governor where we have
if (data->elapsed_us < data->elapsed_us + measured_us)
with measured_us already having elapsed_us added in tickless case here
unsigned int measured_us =
cpuidle_get_last_residency(dev) + data->elapsed_us;
Also, it should be last_residency, not measured_us, that need to be used to
do comparing and distinguish between expected & non-expected events.
Refactor menu_reflect() to fix these two problems.

poll_idle was added to CPUIDLE, just as a low latency idle handler, to be
used in cases when user desires CPUs not to enter any idle state at all. It
was supposed to be a run time idle=poll option to the user. But, it was indeed
getting used during normal menu and ladder governor default case, with no
special user setting (Reported by Linus Torvalds).
Change below ensures that poll_idle will not be used unless user explicitly
asks pm_qos infrastructure for zero latency requirement.

These attributes are really sysdev class attributes. The incorrect
definition leads to an oops because of recent changes which make sysdev
attributes use a different prototype.

pm_idle_save resp. pm_idle_old can be NULL when the restore code in
acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() resp. cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler()
is called. This can set pm_idle unconditinally to NULL, which causes the
kernel to panic when calling pm_idle in the x86 idle code. This was
covered by an extra check for !pm_idle in the x86 idle code, which was
removed during the x86 idle code refactoring.
Instead of restoring the pm_idle check in the x86 code prevent the
acpi/cpuidle code to set pm_idle to NULL.

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.
I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.
I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

cpuidle and acpi driver interaction bug with the way cpuidle_register_driver()
is called. Due to this bug, there will be oops on
AC<->DC on some systems, where they support C-states in one DC and not in AC.
The current code does
ON BOOT:
Look at CST and other C-state info to see whether more than C1 is
supported. If it is, then acpi processor_idle does a
cpuidle_register_driver() call, which internally enables the device.
ON CST change notification (AC<->DC) and on suspend-resume:
acpi driver temporarily disables device, updates the device with
any new C-states, and reenables the device.
The problem is is on boot, there are no C2, C3 states supported and we skip
the register. Later on AC<->DC, we may get a CST notification and we try
to reevaluate CST and enabled the device, without actually registering it.
This causes breakage as we try to create /sys fs sub directory, without the
parent directory which is created at register time.
Thanks to Sanjeev for reporting the problem here.

commit 9b12e18cdc1553de62d931e73443c806347cd974
'ACPI: cpuidle: Support C1 idle time accounting'
was implicated in a 100% C0 idle regression.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10076
It pointed out a potential problem where the menu governor
may get confused by the C-state residency time from poll
idle or C1 idle, where this timing info is not accurate.
This inaccuracy is due to interrupts being handled
before we account for C-state exit.
Do not mark TIME_VALID for CO poll state.
Mark C1 time as valid only with the MWAIT (CSTATE_FFH) entry method.
This makes governors use the timing information only when it is correct and
eliminates any wrong policy decisions that may result from invalid timing
information.

Add a new sysfs entry under cpuidle states. desc - can be used by driver to
communicate to userspace any specific information about the state.
This helps in identifying the exact hardware C-states behind the ACPI C-state
definition.
Idea is to export this through powertop, which will help to map the C-state
reported by powertop to actual hardware C-state.

The last posted version of this patch gave compile error
on IA64. So, here goes yet another rewrite of the patch.
Convert cpu_idle_wait() to cpuidle_kick_cpus() which is
SMP-only, and gives error on non supported CPU.
Changes from last patch sent by Kevin:
Moved the definition of kick_cpus back to cpuidle.c from cpuidle.h:
* Having it in .h gives #error on archs which includes the header file without
actually having CPU_IDLE configured. To make it work in .h, we need one more
#ifdef around that code which makes it messy.
* Also, the function is only called from one file. So, it can be in declared
statically in .c rather than making it available to everyone who includes
the .h file.

The following patch is a generalization of the latency.c implementation done
by Arjan last year. It provides infrastructure for more than one parameter,
and exposes a user mode interface for processes to register pm_qos
expectations of processes.
This interface provides a kernel and user mode interface for registering
performance expectations by drivers, subsystems and user space applications on
one of the parameters.
Currently we have {cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput} as
the initial set of pm_qos parameters.
The infrastructure exposes multiple misc device nodes one per implemented
parameter. The set of parameters implement is defined by pm_qos_power_init()
and pm_qos_params.h. This is done because having the available parameters
being runtime configurable or changeable from a driver was seen as too easy to
abuse.
For each parameter a list of performance requirements is maintained along with
an aggregated target value. The aggregated target value is updated with
changes to the requirement list or elements of the list. Typically the
aggregated target value is simply the max or min of the requirement values
held in the parameter list elements.
>From kernel mode the use of this interface is simple:
pm_qos_add_requirement(param_id, name, target_value):
Will insert a named element in the list for that identified PM_QOS
parameter with the target value. Upon change to this list the new target is
recomputed and any registered notifiers are called only if the target value
is now different.
pm_qos_update_requirement(param_id, name, new_target_value):
Will search the list identified by the param_id for the named list element
and then update its target value, calling the notification tree if the
aggregated target is changed. with that name is already registered.
pm_qos_remove_requirement(param_id, name):
Will search the identified list for the named element and remove it, after
removal it will update the aggregate target and call the notification tree
if the target was changed as a result of removing the named requirement.
>From user mode:
Only processes can register a pm_qos requirement. To provide for
automatic cleanup for process the interface requires the process to register
its parameter requirements in the following way:
To register the default pm_qos target for the specific parameter, the
process must open one of /dev/[cpu_dma_latency, network_latency,
network_throughput]
As long as the device node is held open that process has a registered
requirement on the parameter. The name of the requirement is
"process_<PID>" derived from the current->pid from within the open system
call.
To change the requested target value the process needs to write a s32
value to the open device node. This translates to a
pm_qos_update_requirement call.
To remove the user mode request for a target value simply close the device
node.

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: 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: menu governor: change the early break condition
Change the C-state early break out algorithm in menu governor.
We only look at early breakouts that result in wakeups shorter than idle
state's target_residency. If such a breakout is frequent enough, eliminate
the particular idle state upto a timeout period.

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"

cpuidle: export time until next timer interrupt using NO_HZ
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,
so I'm probably responsible if there are any bugs or oversights :)

cpuidle: governor API changes
This patch prepares cpuidle for the menu governor. It adds an optional
stage after idle state entry to give the governor an opportunity to
check why the state was exited. Also it makes sure the idle loop
returns after each state entry, allowing the appropriate dynticks code
to run.

cpuidle: hang fix
Prevent hang on x86-64, when ACPI processor driver is added as a module on
a system that does not support C-states.
x86-64 expects all idle handlers to enable interrupts before returning from
idle handler. This is due to enter_idle(), exit_idle() races. Make
cpuidle_idle_call() confirm to this when there is no pm_idle_old.
Also, cpuidle look at the return values of attch_driver() and set
current_driver to NULL if attach fails on all CPUs.

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
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.
