Linux has always ignored ACPI BIOS C2 with exit latency > 100 usec, and the ACPI spec is clear that is correct FADT-supplied C2. However, the ACPI spec explicitly states that _CST-supplied C-states have no latency limits. So move the 100usec C2 test out of the code shared by FADT and _CST code-paths, and into the FADT-specific path. This bug has not been visible until Nehalem, which advertises a CPU-C2 worst case exit latency on servers of 205usec. That (incorrect) figure is being used by BIOS writers on mobile Nehalem systems for the AC configuration. Thus, Linux ignores C2 leaving just C1, which is saves less power, and also impacts performance by preventing the use of turbo mode. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15064Tested-by: NAlex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Signed-off-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
