commit 9f497bcc695fb828da023d74ad3c966b1e58ad21 upstream

ACPI: Fix thermal shutdowns

Do not use unsigned int if there is test for negative number...

See drivers/acpi/processor_perflib.c
  static unsigned int ignore_ppc = -1;
...
  if (event == CPUFREQ_START &amp;&amp; ignore_ppc &lt;= 0) {
       ignore_ppc = 0;

commit a1531acd43310a7e4571d52e8846640667f4c74b upstream

Ingo Molnar provided a fix to not call _PPC at processor driver
initialization time in "[PATCH] ACPI: fix cpufreq regression" (git
commit e4233dec749a3519069d9390561b5636a75c7579)

But it can still happen that _PPC is called at processor driver
initialization time.

This patch should make sure that this is not possible anymore.

Use proc_create()/proc_create_data() to make sure that -&gt;proc_fops and -&gt;data
be setup before gluing PDE to main tree.

Add correct -&gt;owner to proc_fops to fix reading/module unloading race.

<content type='text'>
There have been fixes using _PPC, which seem to unhide a problem
on HP nx6125 (double cpufreq switch freezes the machine for
several seconds).

This one should provide a workaround for the nx6125 and for
possible other machines that show any weird _PPC behaviour.

<title>acpi-cpufreq: Fix some x86/x86-64 acpi-cpufreq driver issues</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch addresses some issues in x86/x86-64 acpi-cpufreq driver:

1.  Current memory allocation for acpi_perf_data is actually open-coded
   alloc_percpu().  The patch defines and handles acpi_perf_data as percpu
   data.  The code will be cleaner and easier to be maintained with this
   change.

2. Won't load driver in acpi_cpufreq_early_init() failure case.

3. Add __init for acpi_cpufreq_early_init().

Remove deprecated /proc/acpi/processor/performance write support

Writing to /proc/acpi/processor/xy/performance interferes with sysfs
cpufreq interface. Also removes buggy cpufreq_set_policy exported symbol.

Make "module name" actually match the file name.
Invoke with ';' as leaving it off confuses Lindent and gcc doesn't care.
Fix indentation where Lindent did get confused.
