* | ACPI: Don't let acpi_pad needlessly mark TSC unstableVenkatesh Pallipadi2010-05-28
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | acpi pad driver kind of aggressively marks TSC as unstable at init time, on mwait capable and non X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC systems. This is irrespective of whether pad driver is ever going to be used on the system or deep C-states are supported/used. This will affect every user who just happens to compile in (or get a kernel version which compiles in) acpi pad driver. Move mark_tsc_unstable() out of init to the actual idle invocation path of the pad driver. There is also another bug/missing_feature in the code that it does not support 'always running apic timer' and switches to broadcast mode unconditionally. Shaohua, can you take a look at that please.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* ACPI: create Processor Aggregator Device driverShaohua Li2009-07-31
ACPI 4.0 created the logical "processor aggregator device" as a mechinism for platforms to ask the OS to force otherwise busy processors to enter (power saving) idle. The intent is to lower power consumption to ride-out transient electrical and thermal emergencies, rather than powering off the server. On platforms that can save more power/performance via P-states, the platform will first exhaust P-states before forcing idle. However, the relative benefit of P-states vs. idle states is platform dependent, and thus this driver need not know or care about it. This driver does not use the kernel's CPU hot-plug mechanism because after the transient emergency is over, the system must be returned to its normal state, and hotplug would permanently break both cpusets and binding. So to force idle, the driver creates a power saving thread. The scheduler will migrate the thread to the preferred CPU. The thread has max priority and has SCHED_RR policy, so it can occupy one CPU. To save power, the thread will invoke the deep C-state entry instructions. To avoid starvation, the thread will sleep 5% of the time time for every second (current RT scheduler has threshold to avoid starvation, but if other CPUs are idle, the CPU can borrow CPU timer from other, which makes the mechanism not work here) Vaidyanathan Srinivasan has proposed scheduler enhancements to allow injecting idle time into the system. This driver doesn't depend on those enhancements, but could cut over to them when they are available. Peter Z. does not favor upstreaming this driver until the those scheduler enhancements are in place. However, we favor upstreaming this driver now because it is useful now, and can be enhanced over time.
