<id>02c68a02018669d1817c43c42de800975cbec467</id>
<content type='text'>
The workaround for AMD erratum 400 uses the term "c1e" falsely suggesting:
1. Intel C1E is somehow involved
2. All AMD processors with C1E are involved

Use the string "amd_c1e" instead of simply "c1e" to clarify that
this workaround is specific to AMD's version of C1E.
Use the string "e400" to clarify that the workaround is specific
to AMD processors with Erratum 400.

This patch is text-substitution only, with no functional change.

<title>ACPI, intel_idle: Cleanup idle= internal variables</title>

Having four variables for the same thing:
  idle_halt, idle_nomwait, force_mwait and boot_option_idle_overrides
is rather confusing and unnecessary complex.

if idle= boot param is passed, only set up one variable:
boot_option_idle_overrides

Introduces following functional changes/fixes:
  - intel_idle driver does not register if any idle=xy
    boot param is passed.
  - processor_idle.c will also not register a cpuidle driver
    and get active if idle=halt is passed.
    Before a cpuidle driver with one (C1, halt) state got registered
    Now the default_idle function will be used which finally uses
    the same idle call to enter sleep state (safe_halt()), but
    without registering a whole cpuidle driver.

That means idle= param will always avoid cpuidle drivers to register
with one exception (same behavior as before):
idle=nomwait
may still register acpi_idle cpuidle driver, but C1 will not use
mwait, but hlt. This can be a workaround for IO based deeper sleep
states where C1 mwait causes problems.

<title>drivers: Replace __get_cpu_var with __this_cpu_read if not used for an address.</title>

<content type='text'>
__get_cpu_var() can be replaced with this_cpu_read and will then use a single
read instruction with implied address calculation to access the correct per cpu
instance.

However, the address of a per cpu variable passed to __this_cpu_read() cannot be
determed (since its an implied address conversion through segment prefixes).
Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var where the addres of the
variable is not used.

V3-&gt;V4:
	- Move one instance of this_cpu_inc_return to a later patch
	  so that this one can go in without percpu infrastructrure
	  changes.

The mW data in this field comes from AML _CST,
which was typed in by a BIOS writer, and is thus
considered unreliable.

Linux does not use it for making any decisions.
We do display it in sysfs where somebody might
read it and assume it is meaningful, so delete it.
