      ACPI, intel_idle: Cleanup idle= internal variables · d1896049
      Thomas Renninger 提交于
      Having four variables for the same thing:
        idle_halt, idle_nomwait, force_mwait and boot_option_idle_overrides
      is rather confusing and unnecessary complex.
      
      if idle= boot param is passed, only set up one variable:
      boot_option_idle_overrides
      
      Introduces following functional changes/fixes:
        - intel_idle driver does not register if any idle=xy
          boot param is passed.
        - processor_idle.c will also not register a cpuidle driver
          and get active if idle=halt is passed.
          Before a cpuidle driver with one (C1, halt) state got registered
          Now the default_idle function will be used which finally uses
          the same idle call to enter sleep state (safe_halt()), but
          without registering a whole cpuidle driver.
      
      That means idle= param will always avoid cpuidle drivers to register
      with one exception (same behavior as before):
      idle=nomwait
      may still register acpi_idle cpuidle driver, but C1 will not use
      mwait, but hlt. This can be a workaround for IO based deeper sleep
      states where C1 mwait causes problems.

      x86 cpufreq, perf: Make trace_power_frequency cpufreq driver independent · 4c21adf2
      Thomas Renninger 提交于
      and fix the broken case if a core's frequency depends on others.
      
      trace_power_frequency was only implemented in a rather ungeneric
      way in acpi-cpufreq driver's target() function only.
      
      -> Move the call to trace_power_frequency to
         cpufreq.c:cpufreq_notify_transition() where CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE
         notifier is triggered.
         This will support power frequency tracing by all cpufreq
         drivers.
      
      trace_power_frequency did not trace frequency changes correctly
      when the userspace governor was used or when CPU cores'
      frequency depend on each other.
      
      -> Moving this into the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and pass the cpu
         which gets switched automatically fixes this.
      
      Robert Schoene provided some important fixes on top of my
      initial quick shot version which are integrated in this patch:
      - Forgot some changes in power_end trace (TP_printk/variable names)
      - Variable dummy in power_end must now be cpu_id
      - Use static 64 bit variable instead of unsigned int for cpu_id

      intel_idle: native hardware cpuidle driver for latest Intel processors · 26717172
      Len Brown 提交于
      This EXPERIMENTAL driver supersedes acpi_idle on
      Intel Atom Processors, Intel Core i3/i5/i7 Processors
      and associated Intel Xeon processors.
      
      It does not support the Intel Core2 processor or earlier.
      
      For kernels configured with ACPI, CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=y
      allows intel_idle to probe before the ACPI processor driver.
      Booting with "intel_idle.max_cstate=0" disables intel_idle
      and the system will fall back on ACPI's "acpi_idle".
      
      Typical Linux distributions load ACPI processor module early,
      making CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=m not easily useful on ACPI platforms.
      
      intel_idle probes all processors at module_init time.
      Processors that are hot-added later will be limited
      to using C1 in idle.
