commit e7387da52028b072489c45efeb7a916c0205ebd2 upstream.

Commit 0b89e9aa2856 (cpuidle: delay enabling interrupts until all
coupled CPUs leave idle) rightfully fixed a regression by letting
the coupled idle state framework to handle local interrupt enabling
when the CPU is exiting an idle state.

The current code checks if the idle state is coupled and, if so, it
will let the coupled code to enable interrupts. This way, it can
decrement the ready-count before handling the interrupt. This
mechanism prevents the other CPUs from waiting for a CPU which is
handling interrupts.

But the check is done against the state index returned by the back
end driver's -&gt;enter functions which could be different from the
initial index passed as parameter to the cpuidle_enter_state()
function.

 entered_state = target_state-&gt;enter(dev, drv, index);

 [ ... ]

 if (!cpuidle_state_is_coupled(drv, entered_state))
	local_irq_enable();

 [ ... ]

If the 'index' is referring to a coupled idle state but the
'entered_state' is *not* coupled, then the interrupts are enabled
again. All CPUs blocked on the sync barrier may busy loop longer
if the CPU has interrupts to handle before decrementing the
ready-count. That's consuming more energy than saving.

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 625fe4f8ffc1b915248558481bb94249f6bd411c upstream.

arm_cpuidle_suspend() may return -EOPNOTSUPP, or any value returned
by the cpu_ops/cpuidle_ops suspend call. arm_enter_idle_state() doesn't
update 'ret' with this value, meaning we always signal success to
cpuidle_enter_state(), causing it to update the usage counters as if we
succeeded.

Commit 51164251f5c3 "sched / idle: Drop default_idle_call() fallback
from call_cpuidle()" made find_deepest_state() return non-negative
value and check all the states with index &gt; 0.  Also as a result,
find_deepest_state() returns 0 even when enter_freeze callbacks are not
implemented and enter_freeze_proper() is called which ends up crashing
the kernel.

This patch updates the check for index &gt; 0 in cpuidle_enter_freeze and
cpuidle_idle_call(when idle_should_freeze is true) to restore the
suspend-to-idle functionality in absence of enter_freeze callback.

Pull more power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This includes fixes on top of the previous batch of PM+ACPI updates
  and some new material as well.

  From the new material perspective the most significant are the driver
  core changes that should allow USB devices to stay suspended over
  system suspend/resume cycles if they have been runtime-suspended
  already beforehand.  Apart from that, ACPICA is updated to upstream
  revision 20160108 (cosmetic mostly, but including one fixup on top of
  the previous ACPICA update) and there are some devfreq updates the
  didn't make it before (due to timing).

  A few recent regressions are fixed, most importantly in the cpuidle
  menu governor and in the ACPI backlight driver and some x86 platform
  drivers depending on it.

  Some more bugs are fixed and cleanups are made on top of that.

  Specifics:

   - Modify the driver core and the USB subsystem to allow USB devices
     to stay suspended over system suspend/resume cycles if they have
     been runtime-suspended already beforehand and fix some bugs on top
     of these changes (Tomeu Vizoso, Rafael Wysocki).

   - Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20160108, including updates of
     the ACPICA's copyright notices, a code fixup resulting from a
     regression fix that was necessary in the upstream code only (the
     regression fixed by it has never been present in Linux) and a
     compiler warning fix (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).

   - Fix a recent regression in the cpuidle menu governor that broke it
     on practically all architectures other than x86 and make a couple
     of optimizations on top of that fix (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Clean up the selection of cpuidle governors depending on whether or
     not the kernel is configured for tickless systems (Jean Delvare).

   - Revert a recent commit that introduced a regression in the ACPI
     backlight driver, address the problem it attempted to fix in a
     different way and revert one more cosmetic change depending on the
     problematic commit (Hans de Goede).

   - Add two more ACPI backlight quirks (Hans de Goede).

   - Fix a few minor problems in the core devfreq code, clean it up a
     bit and update the MAINTAINERS information related to it (Chanwoo
     Choi, MyungJoo Ham).

   - Improve an error message in the ACPI fan driver (Andy Lutomirski).

   - Fix a recent build regression in the cpupower tool (Shreyas
     Prabhu)"

If menu_select() cannot find a suitable state to return, it will
return the state index stored in data-&gt;last_state_idx.  This
means that it is pointless to look at the states whose indices
are less than or equal to data-&gt;last_state_idx in the main loop,
so don't do that.

Given that those checks are done on every idle state selection, this
change can save quite a bit of completely unnecessary overhead.

<title>sched / idle: Drop default_idle_call() fallback from call_cpuidle()</title>

After commit 9c4b2867ed7c (cpuidle: menu: Fix menu_select() for
CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START == 0) it is clear that menu_select()
cannot return negative values.  Moreover, ladder_select_state()
will never return a negative value too, so make find_deepest_state()
return non-negative values too and drop the default_idle_call()
fallback from call_cpuidle().

This eliminates one branch from the idle loop and makes the governors
and find_deepest_state() handle the case when all states have been
disabled from sysfs consistently.

<title>cpuidle: Don't enable all governors by default</title>

Since commit d6f346f2d2 (cpuidle: improve governor Kconfig options)
the best cpuidle governor is selected automatically. There is little
point in additionally selecting the other one as it will not be used,
so don't select both governors by default.

Being able to select more than one governor is still good for
developers booting with cpuidle_sysfs_switch, though.

This fixes the second half of kernel BZ #65531.
