<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 bf4d1b5 (cpuidle: support multiple drivers) introduced support
for using multiple cpuidle drivers at the same time.  It added a
couple of new APIs to register the driver per CPU, but that led to
some unnecessary code complexity related to the kernel config options
deciding whether or not the multiple driver support is enabled.  The
code has to work as it did before when the multiple driver support is
not enabled and the multiple driver support has to be compatible with
the previously existing API.

Remove the new API, not used by any driver in the tree yet (but
needed for the HMP cpuidle drivers that will be submitted soon), and
add a new cpumask pointer to the cpuidle driver structure that will
point to the mask of CPUs handled by the given driver.  That will
allow the cpuidle_[un]register_driver() API to be used for the
multiple driver support along with the cpuidle_[un]register()
functions added recently.

The usual scheme to initialize a cpuidle driver on a SMP is:

	cpuidle_register_driver(drv);
	for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
		device = &amp;per_cpu(cpuidle_dev, cpu);
		cpuidle_register_device(device);
	}

This code is duplicated in each cpuidle driver.

On UP systems, it is done this way:

	cpuidle_register_driver(drv);
	device = &amp;per_cpu(cpuidle_dev, cpu);
	cpuidle_register_device(device);

On UP, the macro 'for_each_cpu' does one iteration:

#define for_each_cpu(cpu, mask)                 \
        for ((cpu) = 0; (cpu) &lt; 1; (cpu)++, (void)mask)

Hence, the initialization loop is the same for UP than SMP.

Beside, we saw different bugs / mis-initialization / return code unchecked in
the different drivers, the code is duplicated including bugs. After fixing all
these ones, it appears the initialization pattern is the same for everyone.

Please note, some drivers are doing dev-&gt;state_count = drv-&gt;state_count. This is
not necessary because it is done by the cpuidle_enable_device function in the
cpuidle framework. This is true, until you have the same states for all your
devices. Otherwise, the 'low level' API should be used instead with the specific
initialization for the driver.

Let's add a wrapper function doing this initialization with a cpumask parameter
for the coupled idle states and use it for all the drivers.

That will save a lot of LOC, consolidate the code, and the modifications in the
future could be done in a single place. Another benefit is the consolidation of
the cpuidle_device variable which is now in the cpuidle framework and no longer
spread accross the different arch specific drivers.

The commit 89878baa73f0f1c679355006bd8632e5d78f96c2 introduced
the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP flag where we specify a specific idle
state stops the local timer.

Now use this flag to check at init time if one state will need
the broadcast timer and, in this case, setup the broadcast timer
framework. That prevents multiple code duplication in the drivers.

When a cpu enters a deep idle state, the local timers are stopped and
the time framework falls back to the timer device used as a broadcast
timer.

The different cpuidle drivers are calling clockevents_notify ENTER/EXIT
when the idle state stops the local timer.

Add a new flag CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP which can be set by the cpuidle
drivers. If the flag is set, the cpuidle core code takes care of the
notification on behalf of the driver to avoid pointless code duplication.
