commit f3ca4164529b875374c410193bbbac0ee960895f upstream.

acpi_processor_set_throttling() uses set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to make
sure that the (struct acpi_processor)-&gt;acpi_processor_set_throttling()
callback will run on the right CPU.  However, the function may be
called from a worker thread already bound to a different CPU in which
case that won't work.

Make acpi_processor_set_throttling() use work_on_cpu() as appropriate
instead of abusing set_cpus_allowed_ptr().

<title>ACPI throttling: fix endian bug in acpi_read_throttling_status()</title>

Using a u64 here creates an endian bug.  We store a u32 number in the
top byte which is a larger number than intended on big endian systems.
There is no reason to use a 64 bit data type here, I guess it was just
an oversight.

I removed the initialization to zero as well.  It's needed with a u64
but with a u32, the variable gets initialized properly inside the call
to acpi_os_read_port().

Merge reason: Pick up the following two fix commits.

  2be19102b7: x86, NUMA: Fix empty memblk detection in numa_cleanup_meminfo()
  765af22da8: x86-32, NUMA: Fix ACPI NUMA init broken by recent x86-64 change

Scheduled NUMA init 32/64bit unification changes depend on these.

With the this_cpu_xx we no longer need to pass an acpi

performance.

NOTE: This code is x86 specific (see #ifdef CONFIG_X86) but not under

<title>ACPI: Reevaluate whether the T-state is supported or not after cpu is online/offline</title>

After one CPU is offlined, it is unnecessary to switch T-state for it.
So it will be better that the throttling is disabled after the cpu
is offline.
At the same time after one cpu is online, we should check whether
the T-state is supported and then set the corresponding T-state
flag.

Now before it executes the T-state operation on one CPU, it will try to
migrate to the target CPU. Especially this is required on the system that
uses the MSR_IA32_THERMAL_CONTROL register to switch T-state.
But unfortunately it doesn't check whether the migration is successful or not.
In such case we will get/set the incorrect T-state on the offline CPU as
it fails in the migration to the offline CPU.

Remove deprecated ACPI process procfs I/F for throttling control.

This is because the t-state control should only be done in kernel,
when system is in a overheating state.

Now users can only change the processor t-state indirectly,
by poking the cooling device sysfs I/F of the processor.
