Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These fix the (Intel-specific) Performance and Energy Bias Hint (EPB)
  handling and expose it to user space via sysfs, fix and clean up
  several cpufreq drivers, add support for two new chips to the qoriq
  cpufreq driver, fix, simplify and clean up the cpufreq core and the
  schedutil governor, add support for "CPU" domains to the generic power
  domains (genpd) framework and provide low-level PSCI firmware support
  for that feature, fix the exynos cpuidle driver and fix a couple of
  issues in the devfreq subsystem and clean it up.

  Specifics:

   - Fix the handling of Performance and Energy Bias Hint (EPB) on Intel
     processors and expose it to user space via sysfs to avoid having to
     access it through the generic MSR I/F (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Improve the handling of global turbo changes made by the platform
     firmware in the intel_pstate driver (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Convert some slow-path static_cpu_has() callers to boot_cpu_has()
     in cpufreq (Borislav Petkov).

   - Fix the frequency calculation loop in the armada-37xx cpufreq
     driver (Gregory CLEMENT).

   - Fix possible object reference leaks in multuple cpufreq drivers
     (Wen Yang).

   - Fix kerneldoc comment in the centrino cpufreq driver (dongjian).

   - Clean up the ACPI and maple cpufreq drivers (Viresh Kumar, Mohan
     Kumar).

   - Add support for lx2160a and ls1028a to the qoriq cpufreq driver
     (Vabhav Sharma, Yuantian Tang).

   - Fix kobject memory leak in the cpufreq core (Viresh Kumar).

   - Simplify the IOwait boosting in the schedutil cpufreq governor and
     rework the TSC cpufreq notifier on x86 (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Clean up the cpufreq core and statistics code (Yue Hu, Kyle Lin).

   - Improve the cpufreq documentation, add SPDX license tags to some PM
     documentation files and unify copyright notices in them (Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - Add support for "CPU" domains to the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework and provide low-level PSCI firmware support for that
     feature (Ulf Hansson).

   - Rearrange the PSCI firmware support code and add support for
     SYSTEM_RESET2 to it (Ulf Hansson, Sudeep Holla).

   - Improve genpd support for devices in multiple power domains (Ulf
     Hansson).

   - Unify target residency for the AFTR and coupled AFTR states in the
     exynos cpuidle driver (Marek Szyprowski).

   - Introduce new helper routine in the operating performance points
     (OPP) framework (Andrew-sh.Cheng).

   - Add support for passing on-die termination (ODT) and auto power
     down parameters from the kernel to Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) to the
     rk3399_dmc devfreq driver (Enric Balletbo i Serra).

   - Add tracing to devfreq (Lukasz Luba).

   - Make the exynos-bus devfreq driver suspend all devices on system
     shutdown (Marek Szyprowski).

   - Fix a few minor issues in the devfreq subsystem and clean it up
     somewhat (Enric Balletbo i Serra, MyungJoo Ham, Rob Herring,
     Saravana Kannan, Yangtao Li).

   - Improve system wakeup diagnostics (Stephen Boyd).

<title>nohz_full: Allow the boot CPU to be nohz_full</title>

<id>urn:sha1:08ae95f4fd3b38b257f5dc7e6507e071c27ba0d5</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow the boot CPU/CPU0 to be nohz_full. Have the boot CPU take the
do_timer duty during boot until a housekeeping CPU can take over.

This is supported when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_SMP is not configured, or when
it is configured and the arch allows suspend on non-zero CPUs.

nohz_full has been trialed at a large supercomputer site and found to
significantly reduce jitter. In order to deploy it in production, they
need CPU0 to be nohz_full because their job control system requires
the application CPUs to start from 0, and the housekeeping CPUs are
placed higher. An equivalent job scheduling that uses CPU0 for
housekeeping could be achieved by modifying their system, but it is
preferable if nohz_full can support their environment without
modification.

<title>cpuidle: Export the next timer expiration for CPUs</title>
<updated>2019-04-09T22:32:34Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=6f9b83ac877fb5558d76b9f78590f3afd1bdf421'/>
<id>urn:sha1:6f9b83ac877fb5558d76b9f78590f3afd1bdf421</id>
<content type='text'>
To be able to predict the sleep duration for a CPU entering idle, it
is essential to know the expiration time of the next timer.  Both the
teo and the menu cpuidle governors already use this information for
CPU idle state selection.

Moving forward, a similar prediction needs to be made for a group of
idle CPUs rather than for a single one and the following changes
implement a new genpd governor for that purpose.

In order to support that feature, add a new function called
tick_nohz_get_next_hrtimer() that will return the next hrtimer
expiration time of a given CPU to be invoked after deciding
whether or not to stop the scheduler tick on that CPU.

Make the cpuidle core call tick_nohz_get_next_hrtimer() right
before invoking the -&gt;enter() callback provided by the cpuidle
driver for the given state and store its return value in the
per-CPU struct cpuidle_device, so as to make it available to code
outside of cpuidle.

Note that at the point when cpuidle calls tick_nohz_get_next_hrtimer(),
the governor's -&gt;select() callback has already returned and indicated
whether or not the tick should be stopped, so in fact the value
returned by tick_nohz_get_next_hrtimer() always is the next hrtimer
expiration time for the given CPU, possibly including the tick (if
it hasn't been stopped).

The timekeeping code uses a random mix of "unsigned long" and "unsigned
int" for the seqcount snapshots (ratio 14:12). Since the seqlock.h API is
entirely based on unsigned int, use that throughout.

<content type='text'>
Update the time(r) core files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the
full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Philippe Ombredanne, Kate
Stewart and myself. The data has been created with two independent license
scanners and manual inspection.

The following files do not contain any direct license information and have
been omitted from the big initial SPDX changes:

  timeconst.bc: The .bc files were not touched
  time.c, timer.c, timekeeping.c: Licence was deduced from EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL

As those files do not contain direct license references they fall under the
project license, i.e. GPL V2 only.

local_timer_softirq_pending() checks whether the timer softirq is
pending with: local_softirq_pending() &amp; TIMER_SOFTIRQ.

This is wrong because TIMER_SOFTIRQ is the softirq number and not a
bitmask. So the test checks for the wrong bit.

Use BIT(TIMER_SOFTIRQ) instead.
