commit 1098582a0f6c4e8fd28da0a6305f9233d02c9c1d upstream.

Lots of things take locks, due to a wee bug, rcu_lockdep didn't notice
that the locking tracepoints were using RCU.

Push rcu_idle_{enter,exit}() as deep as possible into the idle paths,
this also resolves a lot of _rcuidle()/RCU_NONIDLE() usage.

Specifically, sched_clock_idle_wakeup_event() will use ktime which
will use seqlocks which will tickle lockdep, and
stop_critical_timings() uses lock.

[ Upstream commit ee3c2c8ad6ba6785f14a60e4081d7c82e88162a2 ]

While we correctly skips to initialize an idle state from a disabled idle
state node in DT, the returned value from dt_init_idle_driver() don't get
adjusted accordingly. Instead the number of found idle state nodes are
returned, while the callers are expecting the number of successfully
initialized idle states from DT.

This leads to cpuidle drivers unnecessarily continues to initialize their
idle state specific data. Moreover, in the case when all idle states have
been disabled in DT, we would end up registering a cpuidle driver, rather
than relying on the default arch specific idle call.

Commit c343bf1ba5ef ("cpuidle: Fix three reference count leaks")
fixes the cleanup of kobjects; however, it removes kfree() calls
altogether, leading to memory leaks.

Fix those and also defer the initialization of dev-&gt;kobj_dev until
after the error check, so that we do not end up with a dangling
pointer.

[ Upstream commit 5f26bdceb9c0a5e6c696aa2899d077cd3ae93413 ]

If the CPU exits the "polling" state due to the time limit in the
loop in poll_idle(), this is not a real wakeup and it just means
that the "polling" state selection was not adequate.  The governor
mispredicted short idle duration, but had a more suitable state been
selected, the CPU might have spent more time in it.  In fact, there
is no reason to expect that there would have been a wakeup event
earlier than the next timer in that case.

Handling such cases as regular wakeups in menu_update() may cause the
menu governor to make suboptimal decisions going forward, but ignoring
them altogether would not be correct either, because every time
menu_select() is invoked, it makes a separate new attempt to predict
the idle duration taking distinct time to the closest timer event as
input and the outcomes of all those attempts should be recorded.

For this reason, make menu_update() always assume that if the
"polling" state was exited due to the time limit, the next proper
wakeup event for the CPU would be the next timer event (not
including the tick).

[ Upstream commit 2b038cbc5fcf12a7ee1cc9bfd5da1e46dacdee87 ]

When booting a pseries kernel with PREEMPT enabled, it dumps the
following warning:

   BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1
   caller is pseries_processor_idle_init+0x5c/0x22c

This happens because the code calls get_lppaca() which calls
get_paca() and it checks if preemption is disabled through
check_preemption_disabled().

Preemption should be disabled because the per CPU variable may make no
sense if there is a preemption (and a CPU switch) after it reads the
per CPU data and when it is used.

In this device driver specifically, it is not a problem, because this
code just needs to have access to one lppaca struct, and it does not
matter if it is the current per CPU lppaca struct or not (i.e. when
there is a preemption and a CPU migration).

That said, the most appropriate fix seems to be related to avoiding
the debug_smp_processor_id() call at get_paca(), instead of calling
preempt_disable() before get_paca().

[ Upstream commit 2b038cbc5fcf12a7ee1cc9bfd5da1e46dacdee87 ]

When booting a pseries kernel with PREEMPT enabled, it dumps the
following warning:

   BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1
   caller is pseries_processor_idle_init+0x5c/0x22c

This happens because the code calls get_lppaca() which calls
get_paca() and it checks if preemption is disabled through
check_preemption_disabled().

Preemption should be disabled because the per CPU variable may make no
sense if there is a preemption (and a CPU switch) after it reads the
per CPU data and when it is used.

In this device driver specifically, it is not a problem, because this
code just needs to have access to one lppaca struct, and it does not
matter if it is the current per CPU lppaca struct or not (i.e. when
there is a preemption and a CPU migration).

That said, the most appropriate fix seems to be related to avoiding
the debug_smp_processor_id() call at get_paca(), instead of calling
preempt_disable() before get_paca().

commit 763f191af51f127cf8e69cd361f50bf6180768a5 upstream.

There's no point to register the cpuidle driver for the current CPU, when
the initialization of the arch specific back-end data fails by returning
-ENXIO.

Instead, let's re-order the sequence to its original flow, by first trying
to initialize the back-end part and then act accordingly on the returned
error code. Additionally, let's print the error message, no matter of what
error code that was returned.
