<title>cpuidle: Skip governor when only one idle state is available</title>

<id>e5c9ffc6ae1bcdb1062527d611043681ac301aca</id>
<content type='text'>
On certain platforms (PowerNV systems without a power-mgt DT node),
cpuidle may register only a single idle state. In cases where that
single state is a polling state (state 0), the ladder governor may
incorrectly treat state 1 as the first usable state and pass an
out-of-bounds index. This can lead to a NULL enter callback being
invoked, ultimately resulting in a system crash.

[   13.342636] cpuidle-powernv : Only Snooze is available
[   13.351854] Faulting instruction address: 0x00000000
[   13.376489] NIP [0000000000000000] 0x0
[   13.378351] LR  [c000000001e01974] cpuidle_enter_state+0x2c4/0x668

Fix this by adding a bail-out in cpuidle_select() that returns state 0
directly when state_count &lt;= 1, bypassing the governor and keeping the
tick running.

A CPU system wakeup QoS limit may have been requested by user space. To
avoid breaking this constraint when entering a low power state during
s2idle, let's start to take into account the QoS limit.

Refuse to register a cpuidle device if the given CPU has a cpuidle
device already and print a message regarding it.

Without this, an attempt to register a new cpuidle device without
unregistering the existing one leads to the removal of the existing
cpuidle device without removing its sysfs interface.

<title>cpuidle: Do not return from cpuidle_play_dead() on callback failures</title>

If the :enter_dead() idle state callback fails for a certain state,
there may be still a shallower state for which it will work.

Because the only caller of cpuidle_play_dead(), native_play_dead(),
falls back to hlt_play_dead() if it returns an error, it should
better try all of the idle states for which :enter_dead() is present
before failing, so change it accordingly.

Also notice that the :enter_dead() state callback is not expected
to return on success (the CPU should be "dead" then), so make
cpuidle_play_dead() ignore its return value.

Checking for index &lt; 0 is useless because the find_deepest_state()
function never really returns a negative value.

Since this hasn't been reported in over 9 years it's dead code, so
remove it.

Direct access to the struct bus_type dev_root pointer is going away soon
so replace that with a call to bus_get_dev_root() instead, which is what
it is there for.

This allows us to clean up the cpuidle_add_interface() call a bit as it
was only called in one place, with the same argument so just put that
into the function itself.  Note that cpuidle_remove_interface() should
also probably be removed in the future as there are no callers of it for
some reason.

The instrumentation_begin()/end() annotations in poll_idle() were
complete nonsense. Specifically they caused tracing to happen in the
middle of noinstr code, resulting in RCU splats.

Now that local_clock() is noinstr, mark up the rest and let it rip.
