cpuidle: Fix panic in CPU off-lining with no idle driver

2012-04-06T19:01:25+00:00

Fix a NULL pointer dereference panic in cpuidle_play_dead() during
CPU off-lining when no cpuidle driver is registered.  A cpuidle
driver may be registered at boot-time based on CPU type.  This patch
allows an off-lined CPU to enter HLT-based idle in this condition.

Merge branch 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux

2012-03-30T23:45:39+00:00

Pull ACPI & Power Management changes from Len Brown:
 - ACPI 5.0 after-ripples, ACPICA/Linux divergence cleanup
 - cpuidle evolving, more ARM use
 - thermal sub-system evolving, ditto
 - assorted other PM bits

Fix up conflicts in various cpuidle implementations due to ARM cpuidle
cleanups (ARM at91 self-refresh and cpu idle code rewritten into
"standby" in asm conflicting with the consolidation of cpuidle time
keeping), trivial SH include file context conflict and RCU tracing fixes
in generic code.

idle, x86: Allow off-lined CPU to enter deeper C states

2012-03-30T07:23:01+00:00

Currently when a CPU is off-lined it enters either MWAIT-based idle or,
if MWAIT is not desired or supported, HLT-based idle (which places the
processor in C1 state). This patch allows processors without MWAIT
support to stay in states deeper than C1.

cpuidle: use the driver's state_count as default

2012-03-30T05:55:04+00:00

If the state_count is not initialized for the device use
the driver's state count as the default. That will prevent
to add it manually in the cpuidle driver initialization
routine and will save us from duplicate line of code.

cpuidle: add a sysfs entry to disable specific C state for debug purpose.

2012-03-30T05:52:58+00:00

Some C states of new CPU might be not good.  One reason is BIOS might
configure them incorrectly.  To help developers root cause it quickly, the
patch adds a new sysfs entry, so developers could disable specific C state
manually.

In addition, C state might have much impact on performance tuning, as it
takes much time to enter/exit C states, which might delay interrupt
processing.  With the new debug option, developers could check if a deep C
state could impact performance and how much impact it could cause.

Also add this option in Documentation/cpuidle/sysfs.txt.

cpuidle: Add common time keeping and irq enabling

2012-03-21T05:59:40+00:00

Make necessary changes to implement time keeping and irq enabling
in the core cpuidle code.  This will allow the removal of these
functionalities from various platform cpuidle implementations whose
timekeeping and irq enabling follows the form in this common code.

cpuidle/tracing: Denote the tracepoints as being in rcu_idle_exit() section

2012-02-13T14:14:46+00:00

As the tracepoints in the cpuidle code are called when rcu_idle_exit() is in
effect, the _rcuidle() version must be used, otherwise the rcu_read_lock()s
that protect the tracepoint will not be honored.

cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem

2011-12-21T22:29:42+00:00

This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.
