If both ACPI and DT platform descriptions are available, and the
kernel was configured at build time to support both flavours, the
default policy is to prefer DT over ACPI, and preferring ACPI over
DT while still allowing DT as a fallback is not possible.

Since some enterprise features (such as RAS) depend on ACPI, it may
be desirable for, e.g., distro installers to prefer ACPI boot but
fall back to DT rather than failing completely if no ACPI tables are
available.

So introduce the 'acpi=on' kernel command line parameter for arm64,
which signifies that ACPI should be used if available, and DT should
only be used as a fallback.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Quite a new features are included this time.

  First off, the Collaborative Processor Performance Control interface
  (version 2) defined by ACPI will now be supported on ARM64 along with
  a cpufreq frontend for CPU performance scaling.

  Second, ACPI gets a new infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ
  chips and clock sources (along the lines of the existing similar
  mechanism for DT).

  Next, the ACPI core and the generic device properties API will now
  support a recently introduced hierarchical properties extension of the
  _DSD (Device Specific Data) ACPI device configuration object.  If the
  ACPI platform firmware uses that extension to organize device
  properties in a hierarchical way, the kernel will automatically handle
  it and make those properties available to device drivers via the
  generic device properties API.

  It also will be possible to build the ACPICA's AML interpreter
  debugger into the kernel now and use that to diagnose AML-related
  problems more efficiently.  In the future, this should make it
  possible to single-step AML execution and do similar things.
  Interesting stuff, although somewhat experimental at this point.

  Finally, the PM core gets a new mechanism that can be used by device
  drivers to distinguish between suspend-to-RAM (based on platform
  firmware support) and suspend-to-idle (or other variants of system
  suspend the platform firmware is not involved in) and possibly
  optimize their device suspend/resume handling accordingly.

  In addition to that, some existing features are re-organized quite
  substantially.

  First, the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 is
  unified and the common code goes into the ACPI core (so as to reduce
  code duplication and eliminate non-essential differences between the
  two architectures in that area).

  Second, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is
  reorganized to make the code easier to find and follow.

  Next, the cpufreq core's sysfs interface is reorganized to get rid of
  the "primary CPU" concept for configurations in which the same
  performance scaling settings are shared between multiple CPUs.

  Finally, some interfaces that aren't necessary any more are dropped
  from the generic power domains framework.

  On top of the above we have some minor extensions, cleanups and bug
  fixes in multiple places, as usual.

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).

     The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be
     built into the kernel.  On top of that there is an update related
     to the NFIT table (the ACPI persistent memory interface) and a few
     fixes and cleanups.

   - ACPI CPPC2 (Collaborative Processor Performance Control v2) support
     along with a cpufreq frontend (Ashwin Chaugule).

     This can only be enabled on ARM64 at this point.

   - New ACPI infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and
     clock sources (Marc Zyngier).

   - Support for a new hierarchical properties extension of the ACPI
     _DSD (Device Specific Data) device configuration object allowing
     the kernel to handle hierarchical properties (provided by the
     platform firmware this way) automatically and make them available
     to device drivers via the generic device properties interface
     (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Generic device properties API extension to obtain an index of
     certain string value in an array of strings, along the lines of
     of_property_match_string(), but working for all of the supported
     firmware node types, and support for the "dma-names" device
     property based on it (Mika Westerberg).

   - ACPI core fix to parse the MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table)
     entries in the order expected by platform firmware (and mandated by
     the specification) to avoid confusion on systems with more than 255
     logical CPUs (Lukasz Anaczkowski).

   - Consolidation of the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86
     and ia64 (Jiang Liu).

   - ACPI core fixes to ensure that the correct IRQ number is used to
     represent the SCI (System Control Interrupt) in the cases when it
     has been re-mapped (Chen Yu).

   - New ACPI backlight quirk for Lenovo IdeaPad S405 (Hans de Goede).

   - ACPI EC driver fixes (Lv Zheng).

   - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Insu Yun, Jiri
     Kosina, Rami Rosen, Rasmus Villemoes).

   - New mechanism in the PM core allowing drivers to check if the
     platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system
     suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is
     resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki).

     This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume handling
     in some cases and the changes include a couple of users of it (the
     i8042 input driver, PCI PM).

   - PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled
     from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't
     configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki).

   - New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up the
     system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates).

   - Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains
     framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that code
     (Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano).

   - cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that
     share performance scaling settings (represented by a common cpufreq
     policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar).

     This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among
     other things.

   - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar).

   - intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR)
     mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states range
     to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas
     Pandruvada).

   - intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava).

   - Assorted cpufreq driver (imx, tegra20, powernv, integrator) fixes
     and cleanups (Bai Ping, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Shilpasri G
     Bhat, Luis de Bethencourt).

   - cpuidle mvebu driver cleanups (Russell King).

   - OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework code reorganization to
     make it more maintainable (Viresh Kumar).

   - Intel Broxton support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limits)
     power capping driver (Amy Wiles).

   - Assorted power management code fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter,
     Geert Uytterhoeven, Geliang Tang, Luis de Bethencourt, Rasmus
     Villemoes)"

Now that we have a basic infrastructure to register irqchips and
call them on discovery of a matching entry in MADT, convert the
GIC driver to this new probing method.

It ends up being a code deletion party, which is a rather good thing.

<title>arm64: psci: remove ACPI coupling</title>

The 32-bit ARM port doesn't have ACPI headers, and conditionally
including them is going to look horrendous. In preparation for sharing
the PSCI invocation code with 32-bit, move the acpi_psci_* function
declarations and definitions such that the PSCI client code need not
include ACPI headers.

While it would seem like we could simply hide the ACPI includes in
psci.h, the ACPI headers have hilarious circular dependencies which make
this infeasible without reorganising most of ACPICA. So rather than
doing that, move the acpi_psci_* prototypes into psci.h.

The psci_acpi_init function is made dependent on CONFIG_ACPI (with a
stub implementation in asm/psci.h) such that it need not be built for
32-bit ARM or kernels without ACPI support. The currently missing __init
annotations are added to the prototypes in the header.

<title>ARM64: kernel: unify ACPI and DT cpus initialization</title>

The code that initializes cpus on arm64 is currently split in two
different code paths that carry out DT and ACPI cpus initialization.

Most of the code executing SMP initialization is common and should
be merged to reduce discrepancies between ACPI and DT initialization
and to have code initializing cpus in a single common place in the
kernel.

This patch refactors arm64 SMP cpus initialization code to merge
ACPI and DT boot paths in a common file and to create sanity
checks that can be reused by both boot methods.

Current code assumes PSCI is the only available boot method
when arm64 boots with ACPI; this can be easily extended if/when
the ACPI parking protocol is merged into the kernel.

<title>ARM64: kernel: make cpu_ops hooks DT agnostic</title>

<id>819a88263d5dbe398edd59cc1cf725ed1fdcfd79</id>
<content type='text'>
ARM64 CPU operations such as cpu_init and cpu_init_idle take
a struct device_node pointer as a parameter, which corresponds to
the device tree node of the logical cpu on which the operation
has to be applied.

With the advent of ACPI on arm64, where MADT static table entries
are used to initialize cpus, the device tree node parameter
in cpu_ops hooks become useless when booting with ACPI, since
in that case cpu device tree nodes are not present and can not be
used for cpu initialization.

The current cpu_init hook requires a struct device_node pointer
parameter because it is called while parsing the device tree to
initialize CPUs, when the cpu_logical_map (that is used to match
a cpu node reg property to a device tree node) for a given logical
cpu id is not set up yet. This means that the cpu_init hook cannot
rely on the of_get_cpu_node function to retrieve the device tree
node corresponding to the logical cpu id passed in as parameter,
so the cpu device tree node must be passed in as a parameter to fix
this catch-22 dependency cycle.

This patch reshuffles the cpu_logical_map initialization code so
that the cpu_init cpu_ops hook can safely use the of_get_cpu_node
function to retrieve the cpu device tree node, removing the need for
the device tree node pointer parameter.

In the process, the patch removes device tree node parameters
from all cpu_ops hooks, in preparation for SMP DT/ACPI cpus
initialization consolidation.

Since the only caller of acpi_parse_gic_cpu_interface() doesn't
need the return value, make it have a void return type to avoid
introducing subtle bugs, and update the comments of the function
accordingly.
