ACPI deep C-state entry had a long standing bug/missing feature, wherein we were sending
resched IPIs when an idle CPU is in mwait based deep C-state. Only mwait based C1 was using
the write to the monitored address to wake up mwait'ing CPU.
This patch changes the code to retain TS_POLLING bit if we are entering an mwait based
deep C-state.
The patch has been verified to reduce the number of resched IPIs in general and also
improves the performance/power on workloads with low system utilization (i.e., when mwait based
deep C-states are being used).
Fixes "netperf ~50% regression with 2.6.33-rc1, bisect to 1b9508f"

Earlier, Ingo Molnar posted a patch to make it so that the kernel would avoid
reading _PPC on his broken T60. Unfortunately, it seems that with Thomas
Renninger's patch last July to eliminate _PPC evaluations when the processor
driver loads, the kernel never actually reads _PPC at all! This is problematic
if you happen to boot your non-T60 computer in a state where the BIOS _wants_
_PPC to be something other than zero.
So, put the _PPC evaluation back into acpi_processor_get_performance_info if
ignore_ppc isn't 1.

We broke "acpi=ht" in 2.6.32 by disabling MADT parsing
for acpi=disabled. e5b8fc6ac1
This also broke systems which invoked acpi=ht via DMI blacklist.
acpi=ht is a really ugly hack,
but restore it for those that still use it.

Since the rewrite of the CPU idle governor in 2.6.32, two laptops have
surfaced where the BIOS advertises a C2 power state, but for some reason
this state is not functioning (as verified in both cases by powertop
before the patch in .32).
The old governor had the accidental behavior that if a non-working state
was chosen too many times, it would end up falling back to C1. The new
governor works differently and this accidental behavior is no longer
there; the result is a high temperature on these two machines.
This patch adds these 2 machines to the DMI table for C state anomalies;
by just not using C2 both these machines are better off (the TSC can be
used instead of the pm timer, giving a performance boost for example).

Commit fe06fba2 (ACPI: dock: add struct dock_station * directly
to platform device data) changed dock_add() to use the
platform_device_register_data() API.
We passed that interface a stack variable, which is kmemdup'ed
and assigned to the device's platform_data pointer.
Unfortunately, whatever random garbage is in the stack variable
gets coped during the kmemdup, and that leads to broken behavior.
Explicitly zero out the structure before passing it to the API.

Do for C3 what the previous patch did for C2.
The C2 patch was in response to a highly visible
and multiply reported C-state/turbo failure,
while this change has no bug report in-hand.
This will enable C3 in Linux on systems where BIOS
overstates C3 latency in _CST. It will also enable
future systems which may actually have C3 > 1000usec.
Linux has always ignored ACPI BIOS C3 with exit latency > 1000 usec,
and the ACPI spec is clear that is correct FADT-supplied C3.
However, the ACPI spec explicitly states that _CST-supplied C-states
have no latency limits.
So move the 1000usec C3 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.

Commit 78f1699 (ACPI: processor: call _PDC early) blindly walks
the namespace and calls _PDC on every processor object it finds.
This change may cause issues on platforms that declare dummy
values for SSDTs on non-present processors (disabled in MADT).
When we call _PDC and dynamically attempt to execute the AML
Load() op on these dummy SSDTs, there's no telling what might
happen.
Rather than finding every platform that has bogus SSDTs, restrict
early _PDC calls to platforms that are known to need early
evaluation of _PDC.
This is a minimal, temporary fix (given the context of the
current release cycle). A real solution of checking the MADT for
non-present processors will be written for the next merge window.

Alex Chiang introduced acpi_early_processor_set_pdc() in commit:
ACPI: processor: call _PDC early
78f1699659
But this results in a section mismatch:
WARNING: drivers/acpi/acpi.o(.text+0xa9c1): Section mismatch in reference from the
function acpi_early_processor_set_pdc() to the variable .cpuinit.data:processor_idle_dmi_table
The function acpi_early_processor_set_pdc() references
the variable __cpuinitdata processor_idle_dmi_table.
This is often because acpi_early_processor_set_pdc lacks a __cpuinitdata
annotation or the annotation of processor_idle_dmi_table is wrong.
The only caller of acpi_early_processor_set_pdc() is acpi_bus_init() which
is an "__init" function. So the correct fix here is to mark
acpi_early_processor_set_pdc() "__init" too.
