Remove deprecated /proc/acpi/processor/performance write support

This updates /proc/acpi/wakeup to be more informative, primarily by showing
the sysfs node associated with each wakeup-enabled device. Example:
Device S-state Status Sysfs node
PCI0 S4 disabled no-bus:pci0000:00
PS2M S4 disabled pnp:00:05
PS2K S4 disabled pnp:00:06
UAR1 S4 disabled pnp:00:08
USB1 S3 disabled pci:0000:00:03.0
USB2 S3 disabled pci:0000:00:03.1
USB3 S3 disabled
USB4 S3 disabled pci:0000:00:03.3
S139 S4 disabled
LAN S4 disabled pci:0000:00:04.0
MDM S4 disabled
AUD S4 disabled pci:0000:00:02.7
SLPB S4 *enabled
Eventually this file should be removed, but until then it's almost the only
way we have to tell how the relevant ACPI tables are broken (and cope). In
that example, two devices don't actually exist (USB3, S139), one can't issue
wakeup events (PCI0), and two seem harmlessly (?) confused (MDM and AUD are
the same PCI device, but it's the _modem_ that does wake-on-ring).
In particular, we need to be sure driver model nodes are properly hooked
up before we can get rid of this ACPI-only interface for wakeup events.

It turned out that it is almost impossible to trust ACPI, BIOS & Co.
regarding the C states. This was the reason to switch the local apic

Use IPI for blacklisted CPUs, add parameter IPI vs LAPIC
Currently, Linux disables lapic timer for all machines with C2 and higher
C-state support.
According to Intel only specific Intel models (Banias/Dothan) are broken
in respect of not waking up from C2 with lapic.
However, I am not sure about the naming of the parameter and how it
could/should get integrated into the dyntick part
(CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS). There, a more fine grained check (TSC
still running?, ..) is needed? Does this make sense (always use
CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ON, but use OFF if forced by use_ipi=0:

Delay the read of the EC status register until
after the event that caused it occurs -- otherwise
it is possible to read and act on stale status that was
associated with the previous event.
Do this with a perpetually incrementing "event_count" to detect
when a new event occurs and it is safe to read status.
There is no workaround for polling mode -- it is inherently
exposed to reading and acting on stale status, since it
doesn't have an interrupt to tell it the event completed.

HP nx6125/nx6325/... machines have a _GPE handler with an infinite
loop sending Notify() events to different ACPI subsystems.
The notify handler in the ACPI thermal driver is a C-routine,
which may invoke the ACPI interpreter again to get access
to some ACPI variables such as temperature. (acpi_evaluate_xxx)
On these HP machines such an evaluation changes state of an ASL variable
and lets the loop above break.
In the current ACPI implementation, Notify requests are being deferred
to the same kacpid workqueue on which the above GPE handler with
infinite loop is executing. Thus we have a deadlock -- loop will
continue to spin, sending notify events, and at the same time
preventing these notify events from being run on a workqueue. All
notify events are deferred, thus we see explosion in memory consumption.
Also as GPE handling is blocked, machines overheat because ACPI-based
fan control is stalled. Eventually by external poll of the same
acpi_evaluate, kacpid is released and all the queued notify events are
free to run, thus 100% CPU utilization by kacpid for several seconds
or more.
To prevent this failure, Linux must not send notify events to the
kacpid workqueue -- either executing them immediately or putting them
on some other thread.
The first attempt to create a new thread was done by Peter Wainwright
He created a bunch of threads, which were stealing work from a kacpid
workqueue.
This patch appeared in 2.6.15-based kernel shipped with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
Second attempt was done by Alexey Starikovskiy, who created a new thread
for each Notify event. This worked OK on HP nx machines,
but broke Linus' Compaq n620c, by producing threads with a speed what
they stopped the machine completely.
Thus this patch was reverted from 2.6.18-rc2.
Alexey re-made the patch to create second workqueue just for notify events,
thus hopping it will not break Linus' machine. Patch was tested on the
same HP nx machines in #5534 and #7122, but this broke Linus' machine
also and was reverted from 2.6.19-rc with much fanfair.
The 4th patch inserted schedule_timeout(1) into deferred
execution of kacpid, if we had any notify requests pending, but Linus
decided that it was too complex (involved either changes to workqueue
to see if it's empty or atomic inc/dec). Then a 5th attempt did a
yield() to every GPE execution.
Finally, this 6th generation patch simply executes the notify handler
on the stack. Previous attempts to do this simple solution failed
because of issues in AML mutex re-entrancy which are now fixed
by the previous patch in this series.

ACPI AML supports "serialized" methods which are protected
by an implicit mutex. The mutex is re-entrant for that AML thread
to allow recursion.
However, Linux implements notify() by creating a new AML thread.
So for systems where notify() re-enters a serialized method,
deadlock results.
The fix is to use the Linux thread_id as the key to allowing
re-entrancy, not the AML thread pointer.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

It's a hard hang that not even an NMI could punch through! Frustratingly,
adding printks or function tracing to the ACPI code made the hangs go away
...
After some time an additional detail emerged: disabling the NMI watchdog
made these occasional hangs go away.
So i spent the better part of today trying to debug this and trying out
various theories when i finally found the likely reason for the hang: if
acpi_ns_initialize_devices() executes an _INI AML method and an NMI
happens to hit that AML execution in the wrong moment, the machine would
hang. (my theory is that this must be some sort of chipset setup method
doing stores to chipset mmio registers?)
Unfortunately given the characteristics of the hang it was sheer
impossible to figure out which of the numerous AML methods is impacted
by this problem.
As a workaround i wrote an interface to disable chipset-based NMIs while
executing _INI sections - and indeed this fixed the hang. I did a
boot-loop of 100 separate reboots and none hung - while without the patch
it would hang every 5-10 attempts. Out of caution i did not touch the
nmi_watchdog=2 case (it's not related to the chipset anyway and didnt
hang).
I implemented this for both x86_64 and i686, tested the i686 laptop both
with nmi_watchdog=1 [which triggered the hangs] and nmi_watchdog=2, and
tested an Athlon64 box with the 64-bit kernel as well. Everything builds
and works with the patch applied.
