Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The majority of this material spent some time in linux-next, some of
  it even several weeks.  There are a few relatively fresh commits in
  it, but they are mostly fixes and simple cleanups.

  ACPI took the lead this time, both in terms of the number of commits
  and the number of modified lines of code, cpufreq follows and there
  are a few changes in the PM core and in cpuidle too.

  A new feature that already got some LWN.net's attention is the device
  PM QoS extension allowing latency tolerance requirements to be
  propagated from leaf devices to their ancestors with hardware
  interfaces for specifying latency tolerance.  That should help systems
  with hardware-driven power management to avoid going too far with it
  in cases when there are latency tolerance constraints.

  There also are some significant changes in the ACPI core related to
  the way in which hotplug notifications are handled.  They affect PCI
  hotplug (ACPIPHP) and the ACPI dock station code too.  The bottom line
  is that all those notification now go through the root notify handler
  and are propagated to the interested subsystems by means of callbacks
  instead of having to install a notify handler for each device object
  that we can potentially get hotplug notifications for.

  In addition to that ACPICA will now advertise "Windows 2013"
  compatibility for _OSI, because some systems out there don't work
  correctly if that is not done (some of them don't even boot).

  On the system suspend side of things, all of the device suspend and
  resume callbacks, except for -&gt;prepare() and -&gt;complete(), are now
  going to be executed asynchronously as that turns out to speed up
  system suspend and resume on some platforms quite significantly and we
  have a few more optimizations in that area.

  Apart from that, there are some new device IDs and fixes and cleanups
  all over.  In particular, the system suspend and resume handling by
  cpufreq should be improved and the cpuidle menu governor should be a
  bit more robust now.

  Specifics:

   - Device PM QoS support for latency tolerance constraints on systems
     with hardware interfaces allowing such constraints to be specified.
     That is necessary to prevent hardware-driven power management from
     becoming overly aggressive on some systems and to prevent power
     management features leading to excessive latencies from being used
     in some cases.

   - Consolidation of the handling of ACPI hotplug notifications for
     device objects.  This causes all device hotplug notifications to go
     through the root notify handler (that was executed for all of them
     anyway before) that propagates them to individual subsystems, if
     necessary, by executing callbacks provided by those subsystems
     (those callbacks are associated with struct acpi_device objects
     during device enumeration).  As a result, the code in question
     becomes both smaller in size and more straightforward and all of
     those changes should not affect users.

   - ACPICA update, including fixes related to the handling of _PRT in
     cases when it is broken and the addition of "Windows 2013" to the
     list of supported "features" for _OSI (which is necessary to
     support systems that work incorrectly or don't even boot without
     it).  Changes from Bob Moore and Lv Zheng.

   - Consolidation of ACPI _OST handling from Jiang Liu.

   - ACPI battery and AC fixes allowing unusual system configurations to
     be handled by that code from Alexander Mezin.

   - New device IDs for the ACPI LPSS driver from Chiau Ee Chew.

   - ACPI fan and thermal optimizations related to system suspend and
     resume from Aaron Lu.

   - Cleanups related to ACPI video from Jean Delvare.

   - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Al Stone, Hanjun Guo, Lan
     Tianyu, Paul Bolle, Tomasz Nowicki.

   - Intel RAPL (Running Average Power Limits) driver cleanups from
     Jacob Pan.

   - intel_pstate fixes and cleanups from Dirk Brandewie.

   - cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume handling from Viresh
     Kumar.

   - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups from Viresh Kumar, Stratos
     Karafotis, Saravana Kannan, Rashika Kheria, Joe Perches.

   - cpufreq drivers updates from Viresh Kumar, Zhuoyu Zhang, Rob
     Herring.

   - cpuidle fixes related to the menu governor from Tuukka Tikkanen.

   - cpuidle fix related to coupled CPUs handling from Paul Burton.

   - Asynchronous execution of all device suspend and resume callbacks,
     except for -&gt;prepare and -&gt;complete, during system suspend and
     resume from Chuansheng Liu.

   - Delayed resuming of runtime-suspended devices during system suspend
     for the PCI bus type and ACPI PM domain.

   - New set of PM helper routines to allow device runtime PM callbacks
     to be used during system suspend and resume more easily from Ulf
     Hansson.

Modify the SATA subsystem to add hotplug contexts to ACPI companions
of SATA devices and ports instead of registering special ACPI dock
operations using register_hotplug_dock_device().

That change will allow the entire code handling those special ACPI
dock operations to be dropped in the next commit.

Modify acpi_preset_companion() to take a struct acpi_device pointer
instead of an ACPI handle as its second argument and redefine it as
a static inline wrapper around ACPI_COMPANION_SET() passing the
return value of acpi_find_child_device() directly as the second

This allows some unnecessary acpi_bus_get_device() calls to be

Replace direct inclusions of &lt;acpi/acpi.h&gt;, &lt;acpi/acpi_bus.h&gt; and

necessary.

First of all, &lt;acpi/acpi.h&gt;, &lt;acpi/acpi_bus.h&gt; and &lt;acpi/acpi_drivers.h&gt;
should not be included directly from any files that are built for
CONFIG_ACPI unset, because that generally leads to build warnings about
undefined symbols in !CONFIG_ACPI builds.  For CONFIG_ACPI set,
&lt;linux/acpi.h&gt; includes those files and for CONFIG_ACPI unset it
provides stub ACPI symbols to be used in that case.

Second, there are ordering dependencies between those files that always
have to be met.  Namely, it is required that &lt;acpi/acpi_bus.h&gt; be included
prior to &lt;acpi/acpi_drivers.h&gt; so that the acpi_pci_root declarations the
latter depends on are always there.  And &lt;acpi/acpi.h&gt; which provides
basic ACPICA type declarations should always be included prior to any other
ACPI headers in CONFIG_ACPI builds.  That also is taken care of including

<title>ACPI / driver core: Store an ACPI device pointer in struct acpi_dev_node</title>
<updated>2013-11-14T22:14:43+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Rafael J. Wysocki</name>
<email>rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com</email>
</author>
<published>2013-11-11T21:41:56+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=7b1998116bbb2f3e5dd6cb9a8ee6db479b0b50a9'/>
<id>7b1998116bbb2f3e5dd6cb9a8ee6db479b0b50a9</id>
<content type='text'>
Modify struct acpi_dev_node to contain a pointer to struct acpi_device
associated with the given device object (that is, its ACPI companion
device) instead of an ACPI handle corresponding to it.  Introduce two
new macros for manipulating that pointer in a CONFIG_ACPI-safe way,
ACPI_COMPANION() and ACPI_COMPANION_SET(), and rework the
ACPI_HANDLE() macro to take the above changes into account.
Drop the ACPI_HANDLE_SET() macro entirely and rework its users to
use ACPI_COMPANION_SET() instead.  For some of them who used to
pass the result of acpi_get_child() directly to ACPI_HANDLE_SET()
introduce a helper routine acpi_preset_companion() doing an
equivalent thing.

The main motivation for doing this is that there are things
represented by struct acpi_device objects that don't have valid
ACPI handles (so called fixed ACPI hardware features, such as
power and sleep buttons) and we would like to create platform
device objects for them and "glue" them to their ACPI companions
in the usual way (which currently is impossible due to the
lack of valid ACPI handles).  However, there are more reasons
why it may be useful.

First, struct acpi_device pointers allow of much better type checking
than void pointers which are ACPI handles, so it should be more
difficult to write buggy code using modified struct acpi_dev_node
and the new macros.  Second, the change should help to reduce (over
time) the number of places in which the result of ACPI_HANDLE() is
passed to acpi_bus_get_device() in order to obtain a pointer to the
struct acpi_device associated with the given "physical" device,
because now that pointer is returned by ACPI_COMPANION() directly.
Finally, the change should make it easier to write generic code that
will build both for CONFIG_ACPI set and unset without adding explicit
compiler directives to it.

Modify struct acpi_dev_node to contain a pointer to struct acpi_device
associated with the given device object (that is, its ACPI companion
device) instead of an ACPI handle corresponding to it.  Introduce two
new macros for manipulating that pointer in a CONFIG_ACPI-safe way,
ACPI_COMPANION() and ACPI_COMPANION_SET(), and rework the
ACPI_HANDLE() macro to take the above changes into account.
Drop the ACPI_HANDLE_SET() macro entirely and rework its users to
use ACPI_COMPANION_SET() instead.  For some of them who used to
pass the result of acpi_get_child() directly to ACPI_HANDLE_SET()
introduce a helper routine acpi_preset_companion() doing an
equivalent thing.

The main motivation for doing this is that there are things
represented by struct acpi_device objects that don't have valid
ACPI handles (so called fixed ACPI hardware features, such as
power and sleep buttons) and we would like to create platform
device objects for them and "glue" them to their ACPI companions
in the usual way (which currently is impossible due to the
lack of valid ACPI handles).  However, there are more reasons
why it may be useful.

First, struct acpi_device pointers allow of much better type checking
than void pointers which are ACPI handles, so it should be more
difficult to write buggy code using modified struct acpi_dev_node
and the new macros.  Second, the change should help to reduce (over
time) the number of places in which the result of ACPI_HANDLE() is
passed to acpi_bus_get_device() in order to obtain a pointer to the
struct acpi_device associated with the given "physical" device,
because now that pointer is returned by ACPI_COMPANION() directly.
Finally, the change should make it easier to write generic code that
will build both for CONFIG_ACPI set and unset without adding explicit
compiler directives to it.

<title>ATA / ACPI: remove power dependent device handling</title>

Previously, we wanted SCSI devices corrsponding to ATA devices to
be runtime resumed when the power resource for those ATA device was
turned on by some other device, so we added the SCSI device to the
dependent device list of the ATA device's ACPI node.  However, this
code has no effect after commit 41863fc (ACPI / power: Drop automaitc
resume of power resource dependent devices) and the mechanism it was
supposed to implement is regarded as a bad idea now, so drop it.

Pull libata changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Two interesting changes.

   - libata acpi handling has been restructured so that the association
     between ata devices and ACPI handles are less convoluted.  This
     change shouldn't change visible behavior.

   - Queued TRIM support, which enables sending TRIM to the device
     without draining in-flight RW commands, is added.  Currently only
     enabled for ahci (and likely to stay that way for the foreseeable
     future).

  Other changes are driver-specific updates / fixes"

Binding ACPI handle to SCSI device has several drawbacks, namely:
1 During ATA device initialization time, ACPI handle will be needed
  while SCSI devices are not created yet. So each time ACPI handle is
  needed, instead of retrieving the handle by ACPI_HANDLE macro,
  a namespace scan is performed to find the handle for the corresponding
  ATA device. This is inefficient, and also expose a restriction on
  calling path not holding any lock.
2 The binding to SCSI device tree makes code complex, while at the same
  time doesn't bring us any benefit. All ACPI handlings are still done
  in ATA module, not in SCSI.

Rework the ATA ACPI binding code to bind ACPI handle to ATA transport
devices(ATA port and ATA device). The binding needs to be done only once,
since the ATA transport devices do not go away with hotplug. And due to
this, the flush_work call in hotplug handler for ATA bay is no longer
needed.

Tested on an Intel test platform for binding and runtime power off for
ODD(ZPODD) and hard disk; on an ASUS S400C for binding and normal boot
and S3, where its SATA port node has _SDD and _GTF control methods when
configured as an AHCI controller and its PATA device node has _GTF
control method when configured as an IDE controller. SATA PMP binding
and ATA hotplug is not tested.

<title>ACPI / PM: Use ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD instead of ACPI_STATE_D3 everywhere</title>

There are several places in the tree where ACPI_STATE_D3 is used
instead of ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD which should be used instead for
clarity.  Modify them all to use ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD as appropriate.

[The definition of ACPI_STATE_D3 itself cannot go away at this point
 as it is part of ACPICA.]
