<content type='text'>
Old, circa 2002 chipsets have a bug: they don't go idle when they are
supposed to.  So, a workaround was added to slow the CPU down and
ensure that the CPU waits a bit for the chipset to actually go idle.
This workaround is ancient and has been in place in some form since
the original kernel ACPI implementation.

But, this workaround is very painful on modern systems.  The "inl()"
can take thousands of cycles (see Link: for some more detailed
numbers and some fun kernel archaeology).

First and foremost, modern systems should not be using this code.
Typical Intel systems have not used it in over a decade because it is
horribly inferior to MWAIT-based idle.

Despite this, people do seem to be tripping over this workaround on
AMD system today.

Limit the "dummy wait" workaround to Intel systems.  Keep Modern AMD
systems from tripping over the workaround.  Remotely modern Intel
systems use intel_idle instead of this code and will, in practice,
remain unaffected by the dummy wait.

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
   RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
   offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.

   This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
   Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
   parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
   real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms

 - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
   account for both normal and expedited grace periods

 - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
   RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
   system with 15,000 tasks.

   The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
   seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
   might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead

 - Torture-test updates

 - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
   thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
   either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
   context independently of RCU.

   This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
   CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y

<title>context_tracking: Take idle eqs entrypoints over RCU</title>

<content type='text'>
The RCU dynticks counter is going to be merged into the context tracking
subsystem. Start with moving the idle extended quiescent states
entrypoints to context tracking. For now those are dumb redirections to
existing RCU calls.

<title>ACPI: processor/idle: Annotate more functions to live in cpuidle section</title>

Commit 6727ad9e206c ("nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus")
introduced a new text section called cpuidle; with that, we have a mechanism
to add idling functions in such section and skip them from nmi_backtrace
output, since they're useless and potentially flooding for such report.

Happens that inlining might cause some real idle functions to end-up
outside of such section; this is currently the case of ACPI processor_idle
driver; the functions acpi_idle_enter_* do inline acpi_idle_do_entry(),
hence they stay out of the cpuidle section.
Fix that by marking such functions to also live in the cpuidle section.

This reverts commit bfe55a1f7fd6bfede16078bf04c6250fbca11588.

This was presumably misdiagnosed as an inability to use C3 at
all when I suspect the real problem is just misconfiguration of
C3 vs. ARB_DIS.

The "safe state" index is used by acpi_idle_enter_bm() to avoid
entering a C-state that may require bus mastering to be disabled
on entry in the cases when this is not going to happen.  For this
reason, it should not be set to point to C3 type of C-states, because
they may require bus mastering to be disabled on entry in principle.

This was broken by commit d6b88ce2eb9d ("ACPI: processor idle: Allow
playing dead in C3 state") which inadvertently allowed the "safe
state" index to point to C3 type of C-states.

This results in a machine that won't boot past the point when it first
enters C3. Restore the correct behaviour (either demote to C1/C2, or
use C3 but also set ARB_DIS=1).

I hit this on a Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook S6010 (P3) machine.

<title>ACPI: Add perf low power callback</title>

<content type='text'>
Add an optional callback needed by some PMU features, e.g., AMD
BRS, to give a chance to the perf_events code to change its state before
a CPU goes to low power and after it comes back.

The callback is void when the PERF_NEEDS_LOPWR_CB flag is not set.
This flag must be set in arch specific perf_event.h header whenever needed.
When not set, there is no impact on the ACPI code.
