<id>urn:sha1:45f1ff59e27ca59d33cc1a317e669d90022ccf7d</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new pointer argument to cpuidle_select() and to the -&gt;select
cpuidle governor callback to allow a boolean value indicating
whether or not the tick should be stopped before entering the
selected state to be returned from there.

Make the ladder governor ignore that pointer (to preserve its
current behavior) and make the menu governor return 'false" through
it if:
 (1) the idle exit latency is constrained at 0, or
 (2) the selected state is a polling one, or
 (3) the expected idle period duration is within the tick period
     range.

In addition to that, the correction factor computations in the menu
governor need to take the possibility that the tick may not be
stopped into account to avoid artificially small correction factor
values.  To that end, add a mechanism to record tick wakeups, as
suggested by Peter Zijlstra, and use it to modify the menu_update()
behavior when tick wakeup occurs.  Namely, if the CPU is woken up by
the tick and the return value of tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() is not
within the tick boundary, the predicted idle duration is likely too
short, so make menu_update() try to compensate for that by updating
the governor statistics as though the CPU was idle for a long time.

Since the value returned through the new argument pointer of
cpuidle_select() is not used by its caller yet, this change by
itself is not expected to alter the functionality of the code.

<id>urn:sha1:64bdff698092aa6be28c3b248f887022eec77902</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new attribute group called "s2idle" under the sysfs directory
of each cpuidle state that supports the -&gt;enter_s2idle callback
and put two new attributes, "usage" and "time", into that group to
represent the number of times the given state was requested for
suspend-to-idle and the total time spent in suspend-to-idle after
requesting that state, respectively.

That will allow diagnostic information related to suspend-to-idle
to be collected without enabling advanced debug features and
analyzing dmesg output.

Commit f85942207516 (x86: PM: Make APM idle driver initialize polling
state) made apm_init() call cpuidle_poll_state_init(), but that only
is defined for CONFIG_CPU_IDLE set, so make the empty stub of it
available for CONFIG_CPU_IDLE unset too to fix the resulting build
issue.

<title>cpuidle: Add new macro to enter a retention idle state</title>

<id>urn:sha1:db50a74d8193944dd1ee488fd2a813a364fbbaa7</id>
<content type='text'>
If a CPU is entering a low power idle state where it doesn't lose any
context, then there is no need to call cpu_pm_enter()/cpu_pm_exit().
Add a new macro(CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_RETENTION) to be used by cpuidle
drivers when they are entering retention state. By not calling
cpu_pm_enter and cpu_pm_exit we reduce the latency involved in
entering and exiting the retention idle states.

CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_RETENTION assumes that no state is lost and
hence CPU PM notifiers will not be called. We may need a broader
change if we need to support partial retention states effeciently.

On ARM64 based Qualcomm Server Platform we measured below overhead for
for calling cpu_pm_enter and cpu_pm_exit for retention states.

workload: stress --hdd #CPUs --hdd-bytes 32M  -t 30
        Average overhead of cpu_pm_enter - 1.2us
        Average overhead of cpu_pm_exit  - 3.1us

Make the drivers that want to include the polling state into their
states table initialize it explicitly and drop the initialization of
it (which in fact is conditional, but that is not obvious from the
code) from the core.

<title>cpuidle: Eliminate the CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dc2251bf98c66db3f4e055b751968f0871037ae4</id>
<content type='text'>
On some architectures the first (index 0) idle state is a polling
one and it doesn't really save energy, so there is the
CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol allowing some pieces of
cpuidle code to avoid using that state.

However, this makes the code rather hard to follow.  It is better
to explicitly avoid the polling state, so add a new cpuidle state
flag CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING to mark it and make the relevant code
check that flag for the first state instead of using the
CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol.

In the ACPI processor driver that cannot always rely on the state
flags (like before the states table has been set up) define
a new internal symbol ACPI_IDLE_STATE_START equivalent to the
CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START one and drop the latter.
