Power management and ACPI material for v4.6-rc1, part 1 - Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU frequency evaluation instead of using per-CPU deferrable timers for that purpose (Rafael Wysocki). - Reorganization and cleanup of cpufreq governor code to make it more straightforward and fix some concurrency problems in it (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar). - Cleanup and improvements of locking in the cpufreq core (Viresh Kumar). - Assorted cleanups in the cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar, Eric Biggers). - intel_pstate driver updates including fixes, optimizations and a modification to make it enable enable hardware-coordinated P-state selection (HWP) by default if supported by the processor (Philippe Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada, Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar, Felipe Franciosi). - Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework updates to improve its handling of voltage regulators and device clocks and updates of the cpufreq-dt driver on top of that (Viresh Kumar, Jon Hunter). - Updates of the powernv cpufreq driver to fix initialization and cleanup problems in it and correct its worker thread handling with respect to CPU offline, new powernv_throttle tracepoint (Shilpasri Bhat). - ACPI cpufreq driver optimization and cleanup (Rafael Wysocki). - ACPICA updates including one fix for a regression introduced by previos changes in the ACPICA code (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David Box, Colin Ian King). - Support for installing ACPI tables from initrd (Lv Zheng). - Optimizations of the ACPI CPPC code (Prashanth Prakash, Ashwin Chaugule). - Support for _HID(ACPI0010) devices (ACPI processor containers) and ACPI processor driver cleanups (Sudeep Holla). - Support for ACPI-based enumeration of the AMBA bus (Graeme Gregory, Aleksey Makarov). - Modification of the ACPI PCI IRQ management code to make it treat 255 in the Interrupt Line register as "not connected" on x86 (as per the specification) and avoid attempts to use that value as a valid interrupt vector (Chen Fan). - ACPI APEI fixes related to resource leaks (Josh Hunt). - Removal of modularity from a few ACPI drivers (BGRT, GHES, intel_pmic_crc) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul Gortmaker). - PNP framework update to make it treat ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_SERIAL_BUS as a valid resource type (Harb Abdulhamid). - New device ID (future AMD I2C controller) in the ACPI driver for AMD SoCs (APD) and in the designware I2C driver (Xiangliang Yu). - Assorted ACPI cleanups (Colin Ian King, Kaiyen Chang, Oleg Drokin). - cpuidle menu governor optimization to avoid a square root computation in it (Rasmus Villemoes). - Fix for potential use-after-free in the generic device properties framework (Heikki Krogerus). - Updates of the generic power domains (genpd) framework including support for multiple power states of a domain, fixes and debugfs output improvements (Axel Haslam, Jon Hunter, Laurent Pinchart, Geert Uytterhoeven). - Intel RAPL power capping driver updates to reduce IPI overhead in it (Jacob Pan). - System suspend/hibernation code cleanups (Eric Biggers, Saurabh Sengar). - Year 2038 fix for the process freezer (Abhilash Jindal). - turbostat utility updates including new features (decoding of more registers and CPUID fields, sub-second intervals support, GFX MHz and RC6 printout, --out command line option), fixes (syscall jitter detection and workaround, reductioin of the number of syscalls made, fixes related to Xeon x200 processors, compiler warning fixes) and cleanups (Len Brown, Hubert Chrzaniuk, Chen Yu). /
