30e1e6d1af cpumask: fix CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y cpu hotunplug crash
Impact: Fix cpu offline when CONFIG_MAXSMP=y

Changeset bc9b83dd1f "cpumask: convert
c1e_mask in arch/x86/kernel/process.c to cpumask_var_t" contained a
bug: c1e_mask is manipulated even if C1E isn't detected (and hence
not allocated).

This is simply fixed by checking for NULL (which gcc optimizes out
anyway of CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n, since it knows ce1_mask can never
be NULL).

In addition, fix a leak where select_idle_routine re-allocates
(and re-clears) c1e_mask on every cpu init.

e736ad548d x86: add clflush before monitor for Intel 7400 series
For Intel 7400 series CPUs, the recommendation is to use a clflush on the
monitored address just before monitor and mwait pair [1].

This clflush makes sure that there are no false wakeups from mwait when the
monitored address was recently written to.

3e5095d152 x86: replace CONFIG_X86_SMP with CONFIG_SMP
The x86/Voyager subarch used to have this distinction between
 'x86 SMP support' and 'Voyager SMP support':

 config X86_SMP
	bool
	depends on SMP && ((X86_32 && !X86_VOYAGER) || X86_64)

This is a pointless distinction - Voyager can (and already does) use
smp_ops to implement various SMP quirks it has - and it can be extended
more to cover all the specialities of Voyager.

So remove this complication in the Kconfig space.

40fb17152c x86: support always running TSC on Intel CPUs
Impact: reward non-stop TSCs with good TSC-based clocksources, etc.

Add support for CPUID_0x80000007_Bit8 on Intel CPUs as well. This bit means
that the TSC is invariant with C/P/T states and always runs at constant
frequency.

With Intel CPUs, we have 3 classes
* CPUs where TSC runs at constant rate and does not stop n C-states
* CPUs where TSC runs at constant rate, but will stop in deep C-states
* CPUs where TSC rate will vary based on P/T-states and TSC will stop in deep
  C-states.

To cover these 3, one feature bit (CONSTANT_TSC) is not enough. So, add a
second bit (NONSTOP_TSC). CONSTANT_TSC indicates that the TSC runs at
constant frequency irrespective of P/T-states, and NONSTOP_TSC indicates
that TSC does not stop in deep C-states.

CPUID_0x8000000_Bit8 indicates both these feature bit can be set.
We still have CONSTANT_TSC _set_ and NONSTOP_TSC _not_set_ on some older Intel
CPUs, based on model checks. We can use TSC on such CPUs for time, as long as
those CPUs do not support/enter deep C-states.

f3f47a6768 tracing: add "power-tracer": C/P state tracer to help power optimization
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
 echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled

d3ec5cae09 x86: call machine_shutdown and stop all CPUs in native_machine_halt
Impact: really halt all CPUs on halt

Function machine_halt (resp. native_machine_halt) is empty for x86
architectures. When command 'halt -f' is invoked, the message "System
halted." is displayed but this is not really true because all CPUs are
still running.

There are also similar inconsistencies for other arches (some uses
power-off for halt or forever-loop with IRQs enabled/disabled).

IMO there should be used the same approach for all architectures OR
what does the message "System halted" really mean?

This patch fixes it for x86.

Impact: Functional TSC is marked unstable on AMD family 0x10 and 0x11 CPUs.

This would be wrong because for those CPUs "invariant TSC" means:

   "The TSC counts at the same rate in all P-states, all C states, S0,
   or S1"

(See "Processor BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guides" for those CPUs.)

4faac97d44 x86: prevent stale state of c1e_mask across CPU offline/online
Impact: hang which happens across CPU offline/online on AMD C1E systems.

When a CPU goes offline then the corresponding bit in the broadcast
mask is cleared. For AMD C1E enabled CPUs we do not reenable the
broadcast when the CPU comes online again as we do not clear the
corresponding bit in the c1e_mask, which keeps track which CPUs
have been switched to broadcast already. So on those !$@#& machines
we never switch back to broadcasting after a CPU offline/online cycle.

Clear the bit when the CPU plays dead.

2c7e9fd4c6 x86: make poll_idle behave more like the other idle methods
Make poll_idle() behave more like the other idle methods.

Currently, poll_idle() returns immediately.  The other
idle methods all wait indefinately for some condition
to come true before returning.  poll_idle should emulate
these other methods and also wait for a return condition,
in this case, for need_resched() to become 'true'.

Without this delay the idle loop spends all of its time
in the outer loop that calls poll_idle.  This outer loop,
these days, does real work, some of it under rcu locks.
That work should only be done when idle is entered and
when idle exits, not continuously while idle is spinning.

9781f39fd2 x86: consolidate the definition of the force_mwait variable
The force_mwait variable iss defined either in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c or in arch/x86/kernel/setup_64.c, but it is
only initialized and used in arch/x86/kernel/process.c. This patch
moves the declaration to arch/x86/kernel/process.c.

da5e09a1b3 ACPI : Create "idle=nomwait" bootparam
"idle=nomwait" disables the use of the MWAIT
instruction from both C1 (C1_FFH) and deeper (C2C3_FFH)
C-states.

When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally
negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1,
and use IO accesses for deeper C-states.

This option is useful for power and performance
comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs
where broken MWAIT support is advertised.

c1e3b377ad ACPI: Create "idle=halt" bootparam
"idle=halt" limits the idle loop to using
the halt instruction.  No MWAIT, no IO accesses,
no C-states deeper than C1.

If something is broken in the idle code,
"idle=halt" is a less severe workaround
than "idle=poll" which disables all power savings.

The BROADCAST_FORCE notification uses smp_function_call and therefor
must be run with interrupts enabled.

While at it, add a comment for the BROADCAST_EXIT notifier as well.

aa276e1caf x86, clockevents: add C1E aware idle function
C1E on AMD machines is like C3 but without control from the OS. Up to
now we disabled the local apic timer for those machines as it stops
when the CPU goes into C1E. This excludes those machines from high
resolution timers / dynamic ticks, which hurts especially X2 based
laptops.

The current boot time C1E detection has another, more serious flaw
as well: some BIOSes do not enable C1E until the ACPI processor module
is loaded. This causes systems to stop working after that point.

To work nicely with C1E enabled machines we use a separate idle
function, which checks on idle entry whether C1E was enabled in the
Interrupt Pending Message MSR. This allows us to do timer broadcasting
for C1E and covers the late enablement of C1E as well.

09fd4b4ef5 x86: use cpuid to check MWAIT support for C1
cpuid(0x05) provides extended information about MWAIT in EDX when bit
0 of ECX is set. Bit 4-7 of EDX determine whether MWAIT is supported
for C1. C1E enabled CPUs have these bits set to 0.

Based on an earlier patch from Andi Kleen.
