Impact: use new work_on_cpu function to reduce stack usage

Replace the saving of current->cpus_allowed and set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with
a work_on_cpu function for drv_read() and drv_write().

Basically converts do_drv_{read,write} into "work_on_cpu" functions that
are now called by drv_read and drv_write.

Note: This patch basically reverts 50c668d6 which reverted 7503bfba, now
that the work_on_cpu() function is more stable.

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c is still broken: there's no
allocation of the variable mask, so we pass in an uninitialized cmd.mask
field to drv_read(), which then passes it to the scheduler which then
crashes ...

Switch it over to the much simpler constant-cpumask-pointers approach.

This reverts commit 7503bfba.

Dieter Ries reported bootup soft-hangs and bisected it back to
this commit, and reverting this commit gave him a working system.

The commit introduces work_on_cpu() use into the cpufreq code,
but that is subtly problematic from a lock hierarchy POV: the
hotplug-cpu lock is an highlevel lock that is taken before
lowlevel locks, and in this codepath we are called with the
policy lock taken.

Dieter did not have lockdep enabled so we dont have a nice stack
trace proof for this, but using work_on_cpu() in such a lowlevel
place certainly looks wrong, so we revert the patch.

work_on_cpu() needs to be reworked to be more generally usable.

p4-clockmod has a long history of abuse.   It pretends to be a CPU
frequency scaling driver, even though it doesn't actually change
the CPU frequency, but instead just modulates the frequency with
wait-states.
The biggest misconception is that when running at the lower 'frequency'
p4-clockmod is saving power.  This isn't the case, as workloads running
slower take longer to complete, preventing the CPU from entering deep C states.

However p4-clockmod does have a purpose.  It can prevent overheating.
Having it hooked up to the cpufreq interfaces is the wrong way to achieve
cooling however. It should instead be hooked up to ACPI.

This diff introduces a means for a cpufreq driver to register with the
cpufreq core, but not present a sysfs interface.

Impact: cleanup

1) The #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU seems unnecessary these days.
2) The loop can simply skip over offline cpus, rather than creating a tmp mask.
3) set_mask is set to either a single cpu or all online cpus in a policy.
   Since it's just used for set_cpus_allowed(), any offline cpus in a policy
   don't matter, so we can just use cpumask_of_cpu() or the policy->cpus.

Impact: new "power-tracer" ftrace plugin

This patch adds a C/P-state ftrace plugin that will generate
detailed statistics about the C/P-states that are being used,
so that we can look at detailed decisions that the C/P-state
code is making, rather than the too high level "average"
that we have today.

An example way of using this is:

 mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
 echo cstate > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
 echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
 sleep 1

A workaround for AMD CPU family 11h erratum 311 might cause that the
P-state Status Register shows a "current P-state" which is larger than
the "current P-state limit" in P-state Current Limit Register. For the
wrong P-state value there is no ACPI _PSS object defined and
powernow-k8/cpufreq can't determine the proper CPU frequency for that
state.

As a consequence this can cause a panic during boot (potentially with
all recent kernel versions -- at least I have reproduced it with
various 2.6.27 kernels and with the current .28 series), as an
example:

In short, aftereffect of the wrong P-state is that
cpufreq_stats_update() uses "-1" as index for some array in

cpufreq_stats_update (unsigned int cpu)
{
...
     if (stat->time_in_state)
                stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index] =
                        cputime64_add(stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index],
                                      cputime_sub(cur_time, stat->last_time));
...
}

Fortunately, the wrong P-state value is returned only if the core is
in P-state 0. This fix solves the problem by detecting the
out-of-range P-state, ignoring it, and using "0" instead.

  * This patch replaces the dangerous lvalue version of cpumask_of_cpu
    with new cpumask_of_cpu_ptr macros.  These are patterned after the
    node_to_cpumask_ptr macros.

    In general terms, if there is a cpumask_of_cpu_map[] then a pointer to
    the cpumask_of_cpu_map[cpu] entry is used.  The cpumask_of_cpu_map
    is provided when there is a large NR_CPUS count, reducing
    greatly the amount of code generated and stack space used for
    cpumask_of_cpu().  The pointer to the cpumask_t value is needed for
    calling set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to reduce the amount of stack space
    needed to pass the cpumask_t value.

    If there isn't a cpumask_of_cpu_map[], then a temporary variable is
    declared and filled in with value from cpumask_of_cpu(cpu) as well as
    a pointer variable pointing to this temporary variable.  Afterwards,
    the pointer is used to reference the cpumask value.  The compiler
    will optimize out the extra dereference through the pointer as well
    as the stack space used for the pointer, resulting in identical code.

    A good example of the orthogonal usages is in net/sunrpc/svc.c:

	case SVC_POOL_PERCPU:
	{
		unsigned int cpu = m->pool_to[pidx];
		cpumask_of_cpu_ptr(cpumask, cpu);

		*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
		set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, cpumask);
		return 1;
	}
	case SVC_POOL_PERNODE:
	{
		unsigned int node = m->pool_to[pidx];
		node_to_cpumask_ptr(nodecpumask, node);

		*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
		set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, nodecpumask);
		return 1;
	}

The longrun cpufreq module reports a false minimum frequency 3MHz on
300-600MHz Crusoe processor.  This may be due to a calculation bug
in the module.

The most common error with powernow-k8 is an ACPI _PSS error
caused either by failure to load the ACPI processor module
or a bad parse of the _PSS object.  Make the error message
returned to the user in these situations more straightforward
and easier to understand.
