ACPI processor hotplug: Delay acpi_processor_start() call for hotplugged cores

2012-01-20T02:26:32Z

Delay the setting up of features (cpuidle, throttling by calling acpi_processor_start()) to the time when the hotplugged core got onlined the first time and got fully initialized. Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger Signed-off-by: Len Brown

intel_idle: Split up and provide per CPU initialization func

2012-01-18T04:59:12Z

Function split up, should have no functional change. Provides entry point for physically hotplugged CPUs to initialize and activate cpuidle. Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger CC: Deepthi Dharwar CC: Shaohua Li CC: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Len Brown

intel idle: Make idle driver more robust

2012-01-17T19:19:59Z

kvm -cpu host passes the original cpuid info to the guest. Latest kvm version seem to return true for mwait_leaf cpuid function on recent Intel CPUs. But it does not return mwait C-states (mwait_substates), instead zero is returned. While real CPUs seem to always return non-zero values, the intel idle driver should not get active in kvm (mwait_substates == 0) case and bail out. Otherwise a Null pointer exception will happen later when the cpuidle subsystem tries to get active: [0.984807] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) [0.984807] IP: [<(null)>] (null) ...

intel_idle: Fix a cast to pointer from integer of different size warning in intel_idle

intel_idle: remove redundant local_irq_disable() call

2012-01-17T19:19:58Z

irq disabling happens earlier in process_32.c:cpu_idle. Basically, cpuidle_state->enter is called, cpu irq is disabled. cpuidle_state->enter would turn on irq when exiting. intel_idle doesn't follow this assumption. Although it doesn't cause real issue, it misleads developers. Remove the call to local_irq_disable() at entry.

intel_idle: fix API misuse

2012-01-17T10:15:36Z

smp_call_function() only lets all other CPUs execute a specific function, while we expect all CPUs do in intel_idle. Without the fix, we could have one cpu which has auto_demotion enabled or has no broadcast timer setup. Usually we don't see impact because auto demotion just harms power and the intel_idle init is called in CPU 0, where boradcast timer delivers interrupt, but this still could be a problem.

cpuidle: Single/Global registration of idle states

2011-11-07T02:13:58Z

This patch makes the cpuidle_states structure global (single copy) instead of per-cpu. The statistics needed on per-cpu basis by the governor are kept per-cpu. This simplifies the cpuidle subsystem as state registration is done by single cpu only. Having single copy of cpuidle_states saves memory. Rare case of asymmetric C-states can be handled within the cpuidle driver and architectures such as POWER do not have asymmetric C-states. Having single/global registration of all the idle states, dynamic C-state transitions on x86 are handled by the boot cpu. Here, the boot cpu would disable all the devices, re-populate the states and later enable all the devices, irrespective of the cpu that would receive the notification first.

cpuidle: Split cpuidle_state structure and move per-cpu statistics fields

2011-11-07T02:13:49Z

This is the first step towards global registration of cpuidle states. The statistics used primarily by the governor are per-cpu and have to be split from rest of the fields inside cpuidle_state, which would be made global i.e. single copy. The driver_data field is also per-cpu and moved.
