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.

It is safe to make them const. register_hotplug_dock_device() was altered to take const "ops" argument to respect acpi_dock_ops' const notion.

Currently we have below codes in processor_physically_present, cpuid = acpi_get_cpuid(...); if ((cpuid == -1) && (num_possible_cpus() > 1)) return false; return true; In UP kernel, acpi_get_cpuid(...) always return -1 and num_possible_cpus() always return 1, so processor_physically_present(...) always returns true for all passed in processor handles. This is wrong for UP processor or SMP processor running UP kernel. This patch removes the !SMP version of acpi_get_cpuid(), so both UP and SMP kernel use the same acpi_get_cpuid function. And for UP kernel, only processor 0 is valid. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16548 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16357 Tested-by: Anton Kochkov <anton.kochkov@gmail.com> Tested-by: Ambroz Bizjak <ambrop7@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> 2011-01-10T17:35:28Z Zhao Yakui yakui.zhao@intel.com 2011-01-10T08:35:45Z urn:sha1:5a344a505093dd65f82f338ffdb7208321b3630e After one CPU is offlined, it is unnecessary to switch T-state for it. So it will be better that the throttling is disabled after the cpu is offline. At the same time after one cpu is online, we should check whether the T-state is supported and then set the corresponding T-state flag.

Linux has been unconditionally checking BM_STS. If the chip-set is configured to enable BM_STS, it can retard or completely prevent entry into deep C-states -- as illustrated by turbostat: http://userweb.kernel.org/~lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools/turbostat/ ref: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI Interface Specification table 4 "_CST FFH GAS Field Encoding" Bit 1: Set to 1 if OSPM should use Bus Master avoidance for this C-state https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15886 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> 2010-05-21T23:40:02Z Len Brown len.brown@intel.com 2010-05-21T23:40:02Z urn:sha1:34a18d6fe5430184e4ca96eeb074ee671d89fe7b These were used before cpuidle by the native ACPI idle driver, which tracked promotion and demotion between states. The code was referenced by CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS for /proc/acpi/processor/*/power, but as we no longer do promotion/demotion, that reference has been a NOP since the transition.

Now let's re-create a processor_core.c for the bits needed statically by the rest of the kernel. The contents of processor_pdc.c are a good starting spot, so let's just rename that file and complete our three card monte.
