<title>cpuidle: Use s64 as exit_latency_ns and target_residency_ns data type</title>

<id>2ab80d46fead0309d7f190d8023c8d64b2ffcbd5</id>
<content type='text'>
Subsequent changes will cause the exit_latency_ns and target_residency_ns
fields in struct cpuidle_state to be used in computations in which data
type conversions to u64 may turn a negative number close to zero into
a verly large positive number leading to incorrect results.

In preparation for that, change the data type of the fields mentioned
above to s64, but ensure that they will not be negative themselves.

No intentional functional impact.

<title>cpuidle: Remove pointless stub</title>

The cpuidle.h header is declaring a function with an empty stub
for the cpuidle disabled case, but that function is only called
by cpuidle governors which depend on cpuidle anyway.

In other words, the function is only called when cpuidle is enabled,
so there is no need for the stub.

Remove the pointless stub.

CPUs may fail to enter the chosen idle state if there was a
pending interrupt, causing the cpuidle driver to return an error
value.

Record that and export it via sysfs along with the other idle state
statistics.

This could prove useful in understanding behavior of the governor
and the system during usecases that involve multiple CPUs.

Some drivers have to do significant work, some of which relies on RCU
still being active. Instead of using RCU_NONIDLE in the drivers and
flipping RCU back on, allow drivers to take over RCU-idle duty.

Control Flow Integrity(CFI) is a security mechanism that disallows
changes to the original control flow graph of a compiled binary,
making it significantly harder to perform such attacks.

init_state_node() assign same function callback to different
function pointer declarations.

static int init_state_node(struct cpuidle_state *idle_state,
                           const struct of_device_id *matches,
                           struct device_node *state_node) { ...
        idle_state-&gt;enter = match_id-&gt;data; ...
        idle_state-&gt;enter_s2idle = match_id-&gt;data; }

Function declarations:

struct cpuidle_state { ...
        int (*enter) (struct cpuidle_device *dev,
                      struct cpuidle_driver *drv,
                      int index);

        void (*enter_s2idle) (struct cpuidle_device *dev,
                              struct cpuidle_driver *drv,
                              int index); };

In this case, either enter() or enter_s2idle() would cause CFI check
failed since they use same callee.

Align function prototype of enter() since it needs return value for
some use cases. The return value of enter_s2idle() is no
need currently.

In certain situations it may be useful to prevent some idle states
from being used by default while allowing user space to enable them
later on.

For this purpose, introduce a new state flag, CPUIDLE_FLAG_OFF, to
mark idle states that should be disabled by default, make the core
set CPUIDLE_STATE_DISABLED_BY_USER for those states at the
initialization time and add a new state attribute in sysfs,
"default_status", to inform user space of the initial status of
the given idle state ("disabled" if CPUIDLE_FLAG_OFF is set for it,
"enabled" otherwise).

After recent cpuidle updates the "disabled" field in struct
cpuidle_state is only used by two drivers (intel_idle and shmobile
cpuidle) for marking unusable idle states, but that may as well be
achieved with the help of a state flag, so define an "unusable" idle
state flag, CPUIDLE_FLAG_UNUSABLE, make the drivers in question use
it instead of the "disabled" field and make the core set
CPUIDLE_STATE_DISABLED_BY_DRIVER for the idle states with that flag
set.

After the above changes, the "disabled" field in struct cpuidle_state
is not used any more, so drop it.

No intentional functional impact.
