The cpb sysfs attribute is only exposed by the ACPI cpufreq driver
after a runtime check.  For this purpose, the driver keeps a NULL
placeholder in its table of sysfs attributes and replaces the NULL
with a pointer to an attribute structure if it decides to expose
cpb.

That is confusing, so make the driver set the pointer to the cpb
attribute structure upfront and replace it with NULL if the
attribute should not be exposed instead.

As policy->cpu may not be same in acpi_cpufreq_cpu_init() and

to un/register ACPI performance. So acpi_processor_unregister_performance()
may not be able to do the cleanup work. That causes a memory leak. And
if there will be another acpi_processor_register_performance() call,
it may also fail thanks to the internal check of pr->performace.

Drivers can store their internal per-policy information in

we have benefits after this replacing.
1) memory saving.
2) policy is shared by several cpus, per_cpu seems not correct. using
*driver_data* is more reasonable.
3) fix a memory leak in acpi_cpufreq_cpu_exit. as policy->cpu might
change during cpu hotplug. So sometimes we cant't free *data*, use
*driver_data* to fix it.
4) fix a zero return value of get_cur_freq_on_cpu. Only per_cpu of

get zero instead of correct values. Use *driver_data* to fix it.

Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:

	cpu_notifier_register_begin();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
	__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	cpu_notifier_register_done();

Fix the acpi-cpufreq code by using this latter form of callback registration.

Most of the drivers do following in their ->target_index() routines:

	struct cpufreq_freqs freqs;
	freqs.old = old freq...
	freqs.new = new freq...

	cpufreq_notify_transition(policy, &freqs, CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE);

	/* Change rate here */

	cpufreq_notify_transition(policy, &freqs, CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE);

This is replicated over all cpufreq drivers today and there doesn't exists a
good enough reason why this shouldn't be moved to cpufreq core instead.

There are few special cases though, like exynos5440, which doesn't do everything
on the call to ->target_index() routine and call some kind of bottom halves for
doing this work, work/tasklet/etc..

They may continue doing notification from their own code as flag:
CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION is already set for them.

Currently, the prototype of cpufreq_drivers target routines is:

int target(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int target_freq,
		unsigned int relation);

And most of the drivers call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() to get a valid
index of their frequency table which is closest to the target_freq. And they
don't use target_freq and relation after that.

So, it makes sense to just do this work in cpufreq core before calling
cpufreq_frequency_table_target() and simply pass index instead. But this can be
done only with drivers which expose their frequency table with cpufreq core. For
others we need to stick with the old prototype of target() until those drivers
are converted to expose frequency tables.

This patch implements the new light weight prototype for target_index() routine.
It looks like this:

int target_index(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int index);

CPUFreq core will call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() before calling this
routine and pass index to it. Because CPUFreq core now requires to call routines
present in freq_table.c CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE must be enabled all the time.

This also marks target() interface as deprecated. So, that new drivers avoid
using it. And Documentation is updated accordingly.

It also converts existing .target() to newly defined light weight
.target_index() routine for many driver.

The preferred form for passing a size of a struct is the following:

Commit 4b31e774 (Always set P-state on initialization) fixed bug

Commit 5a1c0228 (cpufreq: Avoid calling cpufreq driver's target()

this behavior.

This fixes the regression by setting policy->cur based on the CPU's
target frequency rather than the CPU's current reported frequency
(which may be different).  This means that the P-State will be set
initially if the CPU's target frequency is different from the
governor's target frequency.

The acpi core will call request_module("acpi-cpufreq") on subsystem init,
but this will fail if the module isn't available at that stage of boot.
Add some module aliases to ensure that udev can load the module on Intel
and AMD systems with the appropriate feature bits - I /think/ that this
will also work on VIA systems, but haven't verified that.

The powernow-k8 driver supported a sysfs knob called "cpb", which was
instantiated per CPU, but actually acted globally for the whole
system. To keep some compatibility with this feature, we re-introduce
this behavior here, but:
a) only enable it on AMD CPUs and
b) protect it with a Kconfig switch

I'd like to consider this feature obsolete. Lets keep it around for
some kernel versions and then phase it out.

One feature present in powernow-k8 that isn't present in acpi-cpufreq
is support for enabling or disabling AMD's core performance boost
technology. This patch adds support to acpi-cpufreq, but also
includes support for Intel's dynamic acceleration.

The original boost disabling sysfs file was per CPU, but acted
globally. Also the naming (cpb) was at least not intuitive.
So lets introduce a single file simply called "boost", which sits
once in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq.
This should be the only way of using this feature, so add
documentation about the rationale and the usage.

A following patch will re-introduce the cpb knob for compatibility
reasons on AMD CPUs.

Per-CPU boost switching is possible, but not trivial and is thus
postponed to a later patch series.
