commit c998c07836f985b24361629dc98506ec7893e7a0 upstream.

Currently the 'registered' member of the cpuidle_device struct is set
to 1 during cpuidle_register_device. In this same function there are
checks to see if the device is already registered to prevent duplicate
calls to register the device, but this value is never set to 0 even on
unregister of the device. Because of this, any attempt to call
cpuidle_register_device after a call to cpuidle_unregister_device will
fail which shouldn't be the case.

To prevent this, set registered to 0 when the device is unregistered.

commit 3836785a1bdcd6706c68ad46bf53adc0b057b310 upstream.

If there is a PM QoS latency limit and all of the sufficiently shallow
C-states are disabled, the cpuidle menu governor returns 0 which on
some systems is CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START and shouldn't be returned
if that C-state has been disabled.

Fix the issue by modifying the menu governor to return (-1) in such
situations.

commit d75e4af14e228bbe3f86e29bcecb8e6be98d4e04 upstream.

Thomas Schlichter reports the following issue on his Samsung NC20:

"The C-states C1 and C2 to the OS when connected to AC, and additionally
 provides the C3 C-state when disconnected from AC.  However, the number
 of C-states shown in sysfs is fixed to the number of C-states present
 at boot.
   If I boot with AC connected, I always only see the C-states up to C2
   even if I disconnect AC.

   The reason is commit 130a5f692425 (ACPI / cpuidle: remove dev-&gt;state_count
   setting).  It removes the update of dev-&gt;state_count, but sysfs uses
   exactly this variable to show the C-states.

   The fix is to use drv-&gt;state_count in sysfs.  As this is currently the
   last user of dev-&gt;state_count, this variable can be completely removed."

Remove dev-&gt;state_count as per the above.

<id>3fa8cad82b94d0bed002571bd246f2299ffc876b</id>
<content type='text'>
smt-snooze-delay was designed to disable NAP state or delay the entry
to the NAP state prior to adoption of cpuidle framework. This
is per-cpu variable. With the coming of CPUIDLE framework,
states can be disabled on per-cpu basis using the cpuidle/enable
sysfs entry.

Also, with the coming of cpuidle driver each state's target residency
is per-driver unlike earlier which was per-device. Therefore,
the per-cpu sysfs smt-snooze-delay which decides the target residency
of the idle state on a particular cpu causes more confusion to the user
as we cannot have different smt-snooze-delay (target residency)
values for each cpu.

In the current code, smt-snooze-delay functionality is completely broken.
It makes sense to remove smt-snooze-delay from idle driver with the
coming of cpuidle framework.
However, sysfs files are retained as ppc64_util currently
utilises it. Once we fix ppc64_util, propose to clean
up the kernel code.

This patch replaces the cpuidle driver and devices initialisation
calls with a single generic cpuidle_register() call
and also includes minor refactoring of the code around it.

Remove the cpu online check in snooze loop, as this code can
only locally run on a cpu only if it is online. Therefore,
this check is not required.

cpuidle driver to a platform driver, copying the __init tag from the
