<title>ACPI: processor_idle: Skip dummy wait if kernel is in guest</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fa583f71a99c85e52781ed877c82c8757437b680</id>
<content type='text'>
In function acpi_idle_do_entry(), an ioport access is used for
dummy wait to guarantee hardware behavior. But it could trigger
unnecessary VMexit if kernel is running as guest in virtualization
environment.

If it's in virtualization environment, the deeper C state enter
operation (inb()) will trap to hypervisor. It's not needed to do
dummy wait after the inb() call. So we could just remove the
dummy io port access to avoid unnecessary VMexit.

And keep dummy io port access to maintain timing for native
environment.

<content type='text'>
The ACPI idle driver will fallback to using the legacy P_LVL* SystemIO
method of entering C-states if the _CST method is disabled and P_BLK is
defined. However, in this case the C2 and C3 states won't have a
description set, so the user will see "&lt;null&gt;" when reading the
description from sysfs.

Give each of these states a description.

Centaur CPU has a constant frequency TSC and that TSC does not stop in
C-States. But because the corresponding TSC feature flags are not set for
that CPU, the TSC is treated as not constant frequency and assumed to stop
in C-States, which makes it an unreliable and unusable clock source.

Setting those flags tells the kernel that the TSC is usable, so it will
select it over HPET.  The effect of this is that reading time stamps (from
kernel or user space) will be faster and more efficent.

<title>Revert "x86/mm: Stop calling leave_mm() in idle code"</title>

<id>urn:sha1:675357362aeba19688440eb1aaa7991067f73b12</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 43858b4f25cf0adc5c2ca9cf5ce5fdf2532941e5.

The reason I removed the leave_mm() calls in question is because the
heuristic wasn't needed after that patch.  With the original version
of my PCID series, we never flushed a "lazy cpu" (i.e. a CPU running
kernel thread) due a flush on the loaded mm.

Unfortunately, that caused architectural issues, so now I've
reinstated these flushes on non-PCID systems in:

    commit b956575bed91 ("x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode").

That, in turn, gives us a power management and occasionally
performance regression as compared to old kernels: a process that
goes into a deep idle state on a given CPU and gets its mm flushed
due to activity on a different CPU will wake the idle CPU.

Reinstate the old ugly heuristic: if a CPU goes into ACPI C3 or an
intel_idle state that is likely to cause a TLB flush gets its mm
switched to init_mm before going idle.

FWIW, this heuristic is lousy.  Whether we should change CR3 before
idle isn't a good hint except insofar as the performance hit is a bit
lower if the TLB is getting flushed by the idle code anyway.  What we
really want to know is whether we anticipate being idle long enough
that the mm is likely to be flushed before we wake up.  This is more a
matter of the expected latency than the idle state that gets chosen.
This heuristic also completely fails on systems that don't know
whether the TLB will be flushed (e.g. AMD systems?).  OTOH it may be a
bit obsolete anyway -- PCID systems don't presently benefit from this
heuristic at all.

We also shouldn't do this callback from innermost bit of the idle code
due to the RCU nastiness it causes.  All the information need is
available before rcu_idle_enter() needs to happen.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This time (again) cpufreq gets the majority of changes which mostly
  are driver updates (including a major consolidation of intel_pstate),
  some schedutil governor modifications and core cleanups.

  There also are some changes in the system suspend area, mostly related
  to diagnostics and debug messages plus some renames of things related
  to suspend-to-idle. One major change here is that suspend-to-idle is
  now going to be preferred over S3 on systems where the ACPI tables
  indicate to do so and provide requsite support (the Low Power Idle S0
  _DSM in particular). The system sleep documentation and the tools
  related to it are updated too.

  The rest is a few cpuidle changes (nothing major), devfreq updates,
  generic power domains (genpd) framework updates and a few assorted
  modifications elsewhere.

  Specifics:

   - Drop the P-state selection algorithm based on a PID controller from
     intel_pstate and make it use the same P-state selection method
     (based on the CPU load) for all types of systems in the active mode
     (Rafael Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Rework the cpufreq core and governors to make it possible to take
     cross-CPU utilization updates into account and modify the schedutil
     governor to actually do so (Viresh Kumar).

   - Clean up the handling of transition latency information in the
     cpufreq core and untangle it from the information on which drivers
     cannot do dynamic frequency switching (Viresh Kumar).

   - Add support for new SoCs (MT2701/MT7623 and MT7622) to the mediatek
     cpufreq driver and update its DT bindings (Sean Wang).

   - Modify the cpufreq dt-platdev driver to autimatically create
     cpufreq devices for the new (v2) Operating Performance Points (OPP)
     DT bindings and update its whitelist of supported systems (Viresh
     Kumar, Shubhrajyoti Datta, Marc Gonzalez, Khiem Nguyen, Finley
     Xiao).

   - Add support for Ux500 to the cpufreq-dt driver and drop the
     obsolete dbx500 cpufreq driver (Linus Walleij, Arnd Bergmann).

   - Add new SoC (R8A7795) support to the cpufreq rcar driver (Khiem
     Nguyen).

   - Fix and clean up assorted issues in the cpufreq drivers and core
     (Arvind Yadav, Christophe Jaillet, Colin Ian King, Gustavo Silva,
     Julia Lawall, Leonard Crestez, Rob Herring, Sudeep Holla).

   - Update the IO-wait boost handling in the schedutil governor to make
     it less aggressive (Joel Fernandes).

   - Rework system suspend diagnostics to make it print fewer messages
     to the kernel log by default, add a sysfs knob to allow more
     suspend-related messages to be printed and add Low Power S0 Idle
     constraints checks to the ACPI suspend-to-idle code (Rafael
     Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Prefer suspend-to-idle over S3 on ACPI-based systems with the
     ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag set and the Low Power Idle S0 _DSM
     interface present in the ACPI tables (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Update documentation related to system sleep and rename a number of
     items in the code to make it cleare that they are related to
     suspend-to-idle (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Export a variable allowing device drivers to check the target
     system sleep state from the core system suspend code (Florian
     Fainelli).

   - Clean up the cpuidle subsystem to handle the polling state on x86
     in a more straightforward way and to use %pOF instead of full_name
     (Rafael Wysocki, Rob Herring).

   - Update the devfreq framework to fix and clean up a few minor issues
     (Chanwoo Choi, Rob Herring).

   - Extend diagnostics in the generic power domains (genpd) framework
     and clean it up slightly (Thara Gopinath, Rob Herring).

   - Fix and clean up a couple of issues in the operating performance
     points (OPP) framework (Viresh Kumar, Waldemar Rymarkiewicz).

   - Add support for RV1108 to the rockchip-io Adaptive Voltage Scaling
     (AVS) driver (David Wu).

   - Fix the usage of notifiers in CPU power management on some
     platforms (Alex Shi).

   - Update the pm-graph system suspend/hibernation and boot profiling
     utility (Todd Brandt).

   - Make it possible to run the cpupower utility without CPU0 (Prarit
     Bhargava)"
