Thomas Schlichter reports the following issue on his Samsung NC20:

"The C-states C1 and C2 to the OS when connected to AC, and additionally
 provides the C3 C-state when disconnected from AC.  However, the number
 of C-states shown in sysfs is fixed to the number of C-states present
 at boot.
   If I boot with AC connected, I always only see the C-states up to C2
   even if I disconnect AC.

   The reason is commit 130a5f692425 (ACPI / cpuidle: remove dev-&gt;state_count
   setting).  It removes the update of dev-&gt;state_count, but sysfs uses
   exactly this variable to show the C-states.

   The fix is to use drv-&gt;state_count in sysfs.  As this is currently the
   last user of dev-&gt;state_count, this variable can be completely removed."

Remove dev-&gt;state_count as per the above.

From user space, there is no way to know the target residency for each idle
state. If we want to write tools to measure the accuracy of the idle state
selection from the governor, we need this info.

As the exit latency is exported through sysfs, exporting the target residency
in the same place makes sense.

<title>cpuidle: Make cpuidle's sysfs directory dynamically allocated</title>

<id>728ce22b696f9f1404a74d7b2279a65933553a1b</id>
<content type='text'>
The cpuidle sysfs code is designed to have a single instance of per
CPU cpuidle directory.  It is not possible to remove the sysfs entry
and create it again.  This is not a problem with the current code but
future changes will add CPU hotplug support to enable/disable the
device, so it will need to remove the sysfs entry like other
subsystems do.  That won't be possible without this change, because
the kobj is a static object which can't be reused for
kobj_init_and_add().

Add cpuidle_device_kobj to be allocated dynamically when
adding/removing a sysfs entry which is consistent with the other
cpuidle's sysfs entries.

An added benefit is that the sysfs code is now more self-contained
and the includes needed for sysfs can be moved from cpuidle.h
directly into sysfs.c so as to reduce the total number of headers
dragged along with cpuidle.h.

Commit bf4d1b5ddb78f86078ac6ae0415802d5f0c68f92 (cpuidle: support
multiple drivers) changed the number of initialized state kobjects
in cpuidle_add_state_sysfs() from device-&gt;state_count to
drv-&gt;state_count, but left device-&gt;state_count in
cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs().  The values of these two fields may be
different, in which case a NULL pointer dereference may happen in
cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs(), for example.  Fix this problem by making
cpuidle_add_state_sysfs() use device-&gt;state_count too (which restores
the original behavior of it).

<content type='text'>
With the tegra3 and the big.LITTLE [1] new architectures, several cpus
with different characteristics (latencies and states) can co-exists on the
system.

The cpuidle framework has the limitation of handling only identical cpus.

This patch removes this limitation by introducing the multiple driver support
for cpuidle.

This option is configurable at compile time and should be enabled for the
architectures mentioned above. So there is no impact for the other platforms
if the option is disabled. The option defaults to 'n'. Note the multiple drivers
support is also compatible with the existing drivers, even if just one driver is
needed, all the cpu will be tied to this driver using an extra small chunk of
processor memory.

The multiple driver support use a per-cpu driver pointer instead of a global
variable and the accessor to this variable are done from a cpu context.

In order to keep the compatibility with the existing drivers, the function
'cpuidle_register_driver' and 'cpuidle_unregister_driver' will register
the specified driver for all the cpus.

The semantic for the output of /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_driver
remains the same except the driver name will be related to the current cpu.

The /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]/cpuidle/driver/name files are added
allowing to read the per cpu driver name.

The "struct device" is only used in sysfs.c.

The other .c files including the private header "cpuidle.h"
do not need to pull the entire headers tree from there as they
don't manipulate the "struct device".

This patch fixes this by moving the header inclusion to sysfs.c
and adding a forward declaration for the struct device.
