<content type='text'>
There are several reports of freeze on enabling HWP (Hardware PStates)
feature on Skylake-based systems by the Intel P-states driver. The root
cause is identified as the HWP interrupts causing BIOS code to freeze.

HWP interrupts use the thermal LVT which can be handled by Linux
natively, but on the affected Skylake-based systems SMM will respond
to it by default.  This is a problem for several reasons:
 - On the affected systems the SMM thermal LVT handler is broken (it
   will crash when invoked) and a BIOS update is necessary to fix it.
 - With thermal interrupt handled in SMM we lose all of the reporting
   features of the arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/therm_throt driver.
 - Some thermal drivers like x86-package-temp depend on the thermal
   threshold interrupts signaled via the thermal LVT.
 - The HWP interrupts are useful for debugging and tuning
   performance (if the kernel can handle them).
The native handling of thermal interrupts needs to be enabled
because of that.

This requires some way to tell SMM that the OS can handle thermal
interrupts.  That can be done by using _OSC/_PDC in processor
scope very early during ACPI initialization.

The meaning of _OSC/_PDC bit 12 in processor scope is whether or
not the OS supports native handling of interrupts for Collaborative
Processor Performance Control (CPPC) notifications.  Since on
HWP-capable systems CPPC is a firmware interface to HWP, setting
this bit effectively tells the firmware that the OS will handle
thermal interrupts natively going forward.

For details on _OSC/_PDC refer to:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/standards/processor-vendor-specific-acpi-specification.html

To implement the _OSC/_PDC handshake as described, introduce a new
function, acpi_early_processor_osc(), that walks the ACPI
namespace looking for ACPI processor objects and invokes _OSC for
them with bit 12 in the capabilities buffer set and terminates the
namespace walk on the first success.

Also modify intel_thermal_interrupt() to clear HWP status bits in
the HWP_STATUS MSR to acknowledge HWP interrupts (which prevents
them from firing continuously).

This patch adds support to install tables from initrd.

If a table in the initrd wasn't used by the override mechanism,
the table would be installed after initializing all RSDT/XSDT
tables.

On ARM64 some devices use the AMBA device and not the platform bus for
probing so add support for this. Uses a dummy clock for apb_pclk as ACPI
does not have a suitable clock representation and to keep the core
AMBA bus code unchanged between probing methods.

There's an idiom in use by 7 Linux drivers to detect the presence of a
particular ACPI HID by walking the namespace with acpi_get_devices().
The callback passed to acpi_get_devices() is mostly identical across
the drivers, leading to lots of duplicate code.

Add acpi_dev_present(), the ACPI equivalent to pci_dev_present(),
allowing us to deduplicate all that boilerplate in the drivers.

Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument,
when all it needs is a boolean pointer.

It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *'
instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient.
Over that bool takes just a byte.

That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit
updating the API. regmap core was also using
debugfs_{read|write}_file_bool(), directly and variable types were
updated for that to be bool as well.
