Making tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() independent from
CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST broke the build for
CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS=n because the function is not defined
there.

Provide a proper stub inline.

<id>urn:sha1:f32dd117051185da6e923b35491a44d7debeeea5</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the broadcast busy check, which prevents the idle code from
going into deep idle, works only in one shot mode.

If NOHZ and HIGHRES are off (config or command line) there is no
sanity check at all, so under certain conditions cpus are allowed to
go into deep idle, where the local timer stops, and are not woken up
again because there is no broadcast timer installed or a hrtimer based
broadcast device is not evaluated.

Move tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() into the common code and provide
proper subfunctions for the various config combinations.

The common check in tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() is for the C3STOP
misfeature flag of the local clock event device. If its not set, idle
can proceed. If set, further checks are necessary.

Provide checks for the trivial cases:

 - If broadcast is disabled in the config, then return busy

 - If oneshot mode (NOHZ/HIGHES) is disabled in the config, return
   busy if the broadcast device is hrtimer based.

 - If oneshot mode is enabled in the config call the original
   tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() function. That function needs
   extra checks which will be implemented in seperate patches.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The rework of backlight interface selection API from Hans de Goede
  stands out from the number of commits and the number of affected
  places perspective.  The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are
  quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because
  they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the
  majority of cases.

  From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream
  revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is
  the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be
  based on it going forward.  Also included is an update of the ACPI
  device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects
  the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support
  wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA
  device configuration object.

  The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation
  updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points.

  There is one fix for a regression introduced in the 4.1 cycle, but it
  adds quite a number of lines of code, it wasn't really ready before
  Thursday and you were on vacation, so I refrained from pushing it on
  the last minute for 4.1.

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150515 including basic support
     for ACPI 6 features: new ACPI tables introduced by ACPI 6 (STAO,
     XENV, WPBT, NFIT, IORT), changes related to the other tables (DTRM,
     FADT, LPIT, MADT), new predefined names (_BTH, _CR3, _DSD, _LPI,
     _MTL, _PRR, _RDI, _RST, _TFP, _TSN), fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore,
     Lv Zheng).

   - ACPI device power management core code update to follow ACPI 6
     which reflects the ACPI device power management implementation in
     Windows (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - rework of the backlight interface selection logic to reduce the
     number of kernel command line options and improve the handling of
     DMI quirks that may be involved in that and to make the code
     generally more straightforward (Hans de Goede).

   - fixes for the ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) driver related to the
     handling of EC transactions (Lv Zheng).

   - fix for a regression related to the ACPI resources management and
     resulting from a recent change of ACPI initialization code ordering
     (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - fix for a system initialization regression related to ACPI
     introduced during the 3.14 cycle and caused by running the code
     that switches the platform over to the ACPI mode too early in the
     initialization sequence (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object related to
     DMA cache coherence (Suravee Suthikulpanit).

   - ACPI/APEI fixes and cleanups (Jiri Kosina, Borislav Petkov).

   - ACPI battery driver cleanups (Luis Henriques, Mathias Krause).

   - ACPI processor driver cleanups (Hanjun Guo).

   - cleanups and documentation update related to the ACPI device
     properties interface based on _DSD (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - ACPI device power management fixes (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - assorted cleanups related to ACPI (Dominik Brodowski, Fabian
     Frederick, Lorenzo Pieralisi, Mathias Krause, Rafael J Wysocki).

   - fix for a long-standing issue causing General Protection Faults to
     be generated occasionally on return to user space after resume from
     ACPI-based suspend-to-RAM on 32-bit x86 (Ingo Molnar).

   - fix to make the suspend core code return -EBUSY consistently in all
     cases when system suspend is aborted due to wakeup detection (Ruchi
     Kandoi).

   - support for automated device wakeup IRQ handling allowing drivers
     to make their PM support more starightforward (Tony Lindgren).

   - new tracepoints for suspend-to-idle tracing and rework of the
     prepare/complete callbacks tracing in the PM core (Todd E Brandt,
     Rafael J Wysocki).

   - wakeup sources framework enhancements (Jin Qian).

   - new macro for noirq system PM callbacks (Grygorii Strashko).

   - assorted cleanups related to system suspend (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - cpuidle core cleanups to make the code more efficient (Rafael J
     Wysocki).

   - powernv/pseries cpuidle driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat).

   - cpufreq core fixes related to CPU online/offline that should reduce
     the overhead of these operations quite a bit, unless the CPU in
     question is physically going away (Viresh Kumar, Saravana Kannan).

   - serialization of cpufreq governor callbacks to avoid race
     conditions in some cases (Viresh Kumar).

   - intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups (Doug Smythies, Prarit
     Bhargava, Joe Konno).

   - cpufreq driver (arm_big_little, cpufreq-dt, qoriq) updates (Sudeep
     Holla, Felipe Balbi, Tang Yuantian).

   - assorted cleanups in cpufreq drivers and core (Shailendra Verma,
     Fabian Frederick, Wang Long).

   - new Device Tree bindings for representing Operating Performance
     Points (Viresh Kumar).

   - updates for the common clock operations support code in the PM core
     (Rajendra Nayak, Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - PM domains core code update (Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - Intel Knights Landing support for the RAPL (Running Average Power
     Limit) power capping driver (Dasaratharaman Chandramouli).

   - fixes related to the floor frequency setting on Atom SoCs in the
     RAPL power capping driver (Ajay Thomas).

   - runtime PM framework documentation update (Ben Dooks).

   - cpupower tool fix (Herton R Krzesinski)"

<content type='text'>
Since idle_should_freeze() is defined to always return 'false'
for CONFIG_SUSPEND unset, all of the code depending on it in
cpuidle_idle_call() is not necessary in that case.

Make that code depend on CONFIG_SUSPEND too to avoid building it
when it is not going to be used.

clockevents_notify() is a leftover from the early design of the
clockevents facility. It's really not a notification mechanism,
it's a multiplex call. We are way better off to have explicit
calls instead of this monstrosity.

Split out the cleanup function for a dead cpu and invoke it
directly from the cpu down code. Make it conditional on
CPU_HOTPLUG as well.

Temporary change, will be refined in the future.

Split out the broadcast oneshot control into a separate function

This will go away once all callers are converted.

This also gets rid of the nested locking of clockevents_lock and
broadcast_lock. The broadcast oneshot control functions do not
require clockevents_lock. Only the managing functions
(setup/shutdown/suspend/resume of the broadcast device require
clockevents_lock.

<title>clockevents: Fix cpu_down() race for hrtimer based broadcasting</title>

<id>urn:sha1:345527b1edce8df719e0884500c76832a18211c3</id>
<content type='text'>
It was found when doing a hotplug stress test on POWER, that the
machine either hit softlockups or rcu_sched stall warnings.  The
issue was traced to commit:

  7cba160ad789 ("powernv/cpuidle: Redesign idle states management")

which exposed the cpu_down() race with hrtimer based broadcast mode:

  5d1638acb9f6 ("tick: Introduce hrtimer based broadcast")

The race is the following:

Assume CPU1 is the CPU which holds the hrtimer broadcasting duty
before it is taken down.

	CPU0					CPU1

	cpu_down()				take_cpu_down()
						disable_interrupts()

	cpu_die()

	while (CPU1 != CPU_DEAD) {
		msleep(100);
		switch_to_idle();
		stop_cpu_timer();
		schedule_broadcast();
	}

	tick_cleanup_cpu_dead()
		take_over_broadcast()

So after CPU1 disabled interrupts it cannot handle the broadcast
hrtimer anymore, so CPU0 will be stuck forever.

Fix this by explicitly taking over broadcast duty before cpu_die().

This is a temporary workaround. What we really want is a callback
in the clockevent device which allows us to do that from the dying
CPU by pushing the hrtimer onto a different cpu. That might involve
an IPI and is definitely more complex than this immediate fix.

Changelog was picked up from:
