e39ad415ac cpumask: use work_on_cpu in acpi-cpufreq.c for read_measured_perf_ctrs
Impact: use new cpumask API to reduce stack usage

Replace the saving of current->cpus_allowed and set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with
a work_on_cpu function for read_measured_perf_ctrs().

Basically splits off the work function from get_measured_perf which is
run on the designated cpu.  Moves definition of struct perf_cur out of
function local namespace, and is used as the work function argument.
References in get_measured_perf use values in the perf_cur struct.

Impact: use new cpumask API to reduce stack usage

Replace the saving of current->cpus_allowed and set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with

Basically converts do_drv_{read,write} into "work_on_cpu" functions that
are now called by drv_read and drv_write.

c2d1cec1c7 x86: cleanup remaining cpumask_t ops in smpboot code
Impact: use new cpumask API to reduce memory and stack usage

Allocate the following local cpumasks based on the number of cpus that
are present.  References will use new cpumask API.  (Currently only
modified for x86_64, x86_32 continues to use the *_map variants.)

    cpu_callin_mask
    cpu_callout_mask
    cpu_initialized_mask
    cpu_sibling_setup_mask

Provide the following accessor functions:

    struct cpumask *cpu_sibling_mask(int cpu)
    struct cpumask *cpu_core_mask(int cpu)

Other changes are when setting or clearing the cpu online, possible
or present maps, use the accessor functions.

0ca59dd948 tracing/ftrace: don't trace on early stage of a secondary cpu boot, v3
Impact: fix a crash/hard-reboot on certain configs while enabling cpu runtime

On some archs, the boot of a secondary cpu can have an early fragile state.
On x86-64, the pda is not initialized on the first stage of a cpu boot but
it is needed to get the cpu number and the current task pointer. This data
is needed during tracing. As they were dereferenced at this stage, we got a
crash while tracing a cpu being enabled at runtime.

Some other archs like ia64 can have such kind of issue too.

Changes on v2:

We dropped the previous solution of a per-arch called function to guess the
current state of a cpu. That could slow down the tracing.

This patch removes the -pg flag on arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c where
the low level cpu boot functions exist, on start_secondary() and a helper
function used at this stage.

In the presence of extended topology eumeration leaf 0xb provided

updated by detect_extended_topology(). At this instance, we should also
reinit the apicid (which could also potentially be extended to 32bit).

With out this there will potentially be duplicate apicid's populated in the
per cpu's cpuinfo_x86 struct, resulting in wrong cache sharing topology etc
detected by init_intel_cacheinfo().

We should not try to save and restore cpus_allowed on current.

We can't use work_on_cpu() here, since it's in the hotplug cpu path
(if anyone else tries to get the hotplug lock from a workqueue we
could deadlock against them).

Fortunately, we can just use smp_call_function_single() since the
function can run from an interrupt.

cf9b303e55 x86: re-enable MCE on secondary CPUS after suspend/resume
Impact: fix disabled MCE after resume

Don't prevent multiple initialization of MCEs.

Back from early prehistory mcheck_init() has a reentry check. Presumably
that was needed in very old kernels to prevent it entering twice.

But as Andreas points out this prevents CPU hotplug (and therefore resume)
to correctly reinitialize MCEs when a AP boots again after being
offlined.

Just drop the check.

40fb17152c x86: support always running TSC on Intel CPUs
Impact: reward non-stop TSCs with good TSC-based clocksources, etc.

Add support for CPUID_0x80000007_Bit8 on Intel CPUs as well. This bit means
that the TSC is invariant with C/P/T states and always runs at constant
frequency.

With Intel CPUs, we have 3 classes
* CPUs where TSC runs at constant rate and does not stop n C-states
* CPUs where TSC runs at constant rate, but will stop in deep C-states
* CPUs where TSC rate will vary based on P/T-states and TSC will stop in deep
  C-states.

To cover these 3, one feature bit (CONSTANT_TSC) is not enough. So, add a
second bit (NONSTOP_TSC). CONSTANT_TSC indicates that the TSC runs at
constant frequency irrespective of P/T-states, and NONSTOP_TSC indicates
that TSC does not stop in deep C-states.

CPUID_0x8000000_Bit8 indicates both these feature bit can be set.
We still have CONSTANT_TSC _set_ and NONSTOP_TSC _not_set_ on some older Intel
CPUs, based on model checks. We can use TSC on such CPUs for time, as long as
those CPUs do not support/enter deep C-states.

c60e19eb21 [CPUFREQ] add to speedstep-lib additional fsb values for core processors
Add additional fsb values to pentium_core_get_frequency, from latest edition
(September 2008) of Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Develper's Manual,
Volume 3B: System Programming Guide, Part 2. Values added are to detect 800,
1067 and 1333 FSB types.

e088e4c9cd [CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod.
p4-clockmod has a long history of abuse.   It pretends to be a CPU
frequency scaling driver, even though it doesn't actually change
the CPU frequency, but instead just modulates the frequency with
wait-states.
The biggest misconception is that when running at the lower 'frequency'
p4-clockmod is saving power.  This isn't the case, as workloads running
slower take longer to complete, preventing the CPU from entering deep C states.

However p4-clockmod does have a purpose.  It can prevent overheating.
Having it hooked up to the cpufreq interfaces is the wrong way to achieve
cooling however. It should instead be hooked up to ACPI.

This diff introduces a means for a cpufreq driver to register with the
cpufreq core, but not present a sysfs interface.

10db2e5cbd [CPUFREQ] p4-clockmod: reduce noise
On those CPUs which are SpeedStep (EST) capable, we do not care at all if
p4-clockmod does not work, since a technically superior CPU frequency
management technology is to be used.

9963d1aad4 [CPUFREQ] clean up speedstep-centrino and reduce cpumask_t usage
Impact: cleanup

1) The #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU seems unnecessary these days.
2) The loop can simply skip over offline cpus, rather than creating a tmp mask.
3) set_mask is set to either a single cpu or all online cpus in a policy.
   Since it's just used for set_cpus_allowed(), any offline cpus in a policy
   don't matter, so we can just use cpumask_of_cpu() or the policy->cpus.

f3f47a6768 tracing: add "power-tracer": C/P state tracer to help power optimization
Impact: new "power-tracer" ftrace plugin

This patch adds a C/P-state ftrace plugin that will generate
detailed statistics about the C/P-states that are being used,
so that we can look at detailed decisions that the C/P-state
code is making, rather than the too high level "average"
that we have today.

An example way of using this is:

 mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
 echo cstate > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
 echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
 sleep 1
 echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
 cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | perl scripts/trace/cstate.pl > out.svg
