commit 36fcb4292473cb9c9ce7706d038bcf0eda5cabeb upstream.

Commit 259231a04561 ("cpuidle: add poll_limit_ns to cpuidle_device
structure") changed, by mistake, the target residency from the first
available sleep state to the last available sleep state (which should
be longer).

This might cause excessive polling.

<title>cpuidle: teo: Fix "early hits" handling for disabled idle states</title>

commit 159e48560f51d9c2aa02d762a18cd24f7868ab27 upstream.

The TEO governor uses idle duration "bins" defined in accordance with
the CPU idle states table provided by the driver, so that each "bin"
covers the idle duration range between the target residency of the
idle state corresponding to it and the target residency of the closest
deeper idle state.  The governor collects statistics for each bin
regardless of whether or not the idle state corresponding to it is
currently enabled.

In particular, the "early hits" metric measures the likelihood of a
situation in which the idle duration measured after wakeup falls into
to given bin, but the time till the next timer (sleep length) falls
into a bin corresponding to one of the deeper idle states.  It is
used when the "hits" and "misses" metrics indicate that the state
"matching" the sleep length should not be selected, so that the state
with the maximum "early hits" value is selected instead of it.

If the idle state corresponding to the given bin is disabled, it
cannot be selected and if it turns out to be the one that should be
selected, a shallower idle state needs to be used instead of it.
Nevertheless, the metrics collected for the bin corresponding to it
are still valid and need to be taken into account as though that
state had not been disabled.

As far as the "early hits" metric is concerned, teo_select() tries to
take disabled states into account, but the state index corresponding
to the maximum "early hits" value computed by it may be incorrect.
Namely, it always uses the index of the previous maximum "early hits"
state then, but there may be enabled idle states closer to the
disabled one in question.  In particular, if the current candidate
state (whose index is the idx value) is closer to the disabled one
and the "early hits" value of the disabled state is greater than the
current maximum, the index of the current candidate state (idx)
should replace the "maximum early hits state" index.

Modify the code to handle that case correctly.

commit e43dcf20215f0287ea113102617ca04daa76b70e upstream.

The TEO governor uses idle duration "bins" defined in accordance with
the CPU idle states table provided by the driver, so that each "bin"
covers the idle duration range between the target residency of the
idle state corresponding to it and the target residency of the closest
deeper idle state.  The governor collects statistics for each bin
regardless of whether or not the idle state corresponding to it is
currently enabled.

In particular, the "hits" and "misses" metrics measure the likelihood
of a situation in which both the time till the next timer (sleep
length) and the idle duration measured after wakeup fall into the
given bin.  Namely, if the "hits" value is greater than the "misses"
one, that situation is more likely than the one in which the sleep
length falls into the given bin, but the idle duration measured after
wakeup falls into a bin corresponding to one of the shallower idle
states.

If the idle state corresponding to the given bin is disabled, it
cannot be selected and if it turns out to be the one that should be
selected, a shallower idle state needs to be used instead of it.
Nevertheless, the metrics collected for the bin corresponding to it
are still valid and need to be taken into account as though that
state had not been disabled.

For this reason, make teo_select() always use the "hits" and "misses"
values of the idle duration range that the sleep length falls into
even if the specific idle state corresponding to it is disabled and
if the "hits" values is greater than the "misses" one, select the
closest enabled shallower idle state in that case.

Currenly haltpoll isn't aware of the 'idle=' override, the priority is

When 'idle=halt' is used, haltpoll takes precedence and makes

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These include a rework of the main suspend-to-idle code flow (related
  to the handling of spurious wakeups), a switch over of several users
  of cpufreq notifiers to QoS-based limits, a new devfreq driver for
  Tegra20, a new cpuidle driver and governor for virtualized guests, an
  extension of the wakeup sources framework to expose wakeup sources as
  device objects in sysfs, and more.

  Specifics:

   - Rework the main suspend-to-idle control flow to avoid repeating
     "noirq" device resume and suspend operations in case of spurious
     wakeups from the ACPI EC and decouple the ACPI EC wakeups support
     from the LPS0 _DSM support (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Extend the wakeup sources framework to expose wakeup sources as
     device objects in sysfs (Tri Vo, Stephen Boyd).

   - Expose system suspend statistics in sysfs (Kalesh Singh).

   - Introduce a new haltpoll cpuidle driver and a new matching governor
     for virtualized guests wanting to do guest-side polling in the idle
     loop (Marcelo Tosatti, Joao Martins, Wanpeng Li, Stephen Rothwell).

   - Fix the menu and teo cpuidle governors to allow the scheduler tick
     to be stopped if PM QoS is used to limit the CPU idle state exit
     latency in some cases (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Increase the resolution of the play_idle() argument to microseconds
     for more fine-grained injection of CPU idle cycles (Daniel
     Lezcano).

   - Switch over some users of cpuidle notifiers to the new QoS-based
     frequency limits and drop the CPUFREQ_ADJUST and CPUFREQ_NOTIFY
     policy notifier events (Viresh Kumar).

   - Add new cpufreq driver based on nvmem for sun50i (Yangtao Li).

   - Add support for MT8183 and MT8516 to the mediatek cpufreq driver
     (Andrew-sh.Cheng, Fabien Parent).

   - Add i.MX8MN support to the imx-cpufreq-dt cpufreq driver (Anson
     Huang).

   - Add qcs404 to cpufreq-dt-platdev blacklist (Jorge Ramirez-Ortiz).

   - Update the qcom cpufreq driver (among other things, to make it
     easier to extend and to use kryo cpufreq for other nvmem-based
     SoCs) and add qcs404 support to it (Niklas Cassel, Douglas
     RAILLARD, Sibi Sankar, Sricharan R).

   - Fix assorted issues and make assorted minor improvements in the
     cpufreq code (Colin Ian King, Douglas RAILLARD, Florian Fainelli,
     Gustavo Silva, Hariprasad Kelam).

   - Add new devfreq driver for NVidia Tegra20 (Dmitry Osipenko, Arnd
     Bergmann).

   - Add new Exynos PPMU events to devfreq events and extend that
     mechanism (Lukasz Luba).

   - Fix and clean up the exynos-bus devfreq driver (Kamil Konieczny).

   - Improve devfreq documentation and governor code, fix spelling typos
     in devfreq (Ezequiel Garcia, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Leonard Crestez,
     MyungJoo Ham, Gaël PORTAY).

   - Add regulators enable and disable to the OPP (operating performance
     points) framework (Kamil Konieczny).

   - Update the OPP framework to support multiple opp-suspend properties
     (Anson Huang).

   - Fix assorted issues and make assorted minor improvements in the OPP
     code (Niklas Cassel, Viresh Kumar, Yue Hu).

   - Clean up the generic power domains (genpd) framework (Ulf Hansson).

   - Clean up assorted pieces of power management code and documentation
     (Akinobu Mita, Amit Kucheria, Chuhong Yuan).

   - Update the pm-graph tool to version 5.5 including multiple fixes
     and improvements (Todd Brandt).

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These include a rework of the main suspend-to-idle code flow (related
  to the handling of spurious wakeups), a switch over of several users
  of cpufreq notifiers to QoS-based limits, a new devfreq driver for
  Tegra20, a new cpuidle driver and governor for virtualized guests, an
  extension of the wakeup sources framework to expose wakeup sources as
  device objects in sysfs, and more.

  Specifics:

   - Rework the main suspend-to-idle control flow to avoid repeating
     "noirq" device resume and suspend operations in case of spurious
     wakeups from the ACPI EC and decouple the ACPI EC wakeups support
     from the LPS0 _DSM support (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Extend the wakeup sources framework to expose wakeup sources as
     device objects in sysfs (Tri Vo, Stephen Boyd).

   - Expose system suspend statistics in sysfs (Kalesh Singh).

   - Introduce a new haltpoll cpuidle driver and a new matching governor
     for virtualized guests wanting to do guest-side polling in the idle
     loop (Marcelo Tosatti, Joao Martins, Wanpeng Li, Stephen Rothwell).

   - Fix the menu and teo cpuidle governors to allow the scheduler tick
     to be stopped if PM QoS is used to limit the CPU idle state exit
     latency in some cases (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Increase the resolution of the play_idle() argument to microseconds
     for more fine-grained injection of CPU idle cycles (Daniel
     Lezcano).

   - Switch over some users of cpuidle notifiers to the new QoS-based
     frequency limits and drop the CPUFREQ_ADJUST and CPUFREQ_NOTIFY
     policy notifier events (Viresh Kumar).

   - Add new cpufreq driver based on nvmem for sun50i (Yangtao Li).

   - Add support for MT8183 and MT8516 to the mediatek cpufreq driver
     (Andrew-sh.Cheng, Fabien Parent).

   - Add i.MX8MN support to the imx-cpufreq-dt cpufreq driver (Anson
     Huang).

   - Add qcs404 to cpufreq-dt-platdev blacklist (Jorge Ramirez-Ortiz).

   - Update the qcom cpufreq driver (among other things, to make it
     easier to extend and to use kryo cpufreq for other nvmem-based
     SoCs) and add qcs404 support to it (Niklas Cassel, Douglas
     RAILLARD, Sibi Sankar, Sricharan R).

   - Fix assorted issues and make assorted minor improvements in the
     cpufreq code (Colin Ian King, Douglas RAILLARD, Florian Fainelli,
     Gustavo Silva, Hariprasad Kelam).

   - Add new devfreq driver for NVidia Tegra20 (Dmitry Osipenko, Arnd
     Bergmann).

   - Add new Exynos PPMU events to devfreq events and extend that
     mechanism (Lukasz Luba).

   - Fix and clean up the exynos-bus devfreq driver (Kamil Konieczny).

   - Improve devfreq documentation and governor code, fix spelling typos
     in devfreq (Ezequiel Garcia, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Leonard Crestez,
     MyungJoo Ham, Gaël PORTAY).

   - Add regulators enable and disable to the OPP (operating performance
     points) framework (Kamil Konieczny).

   - Update the OPP framework to support multiple opp-suspend properties
     (Anson Huang).

   - Fix assorted issues and make assorted minor improvements in the OPP
     code (Niklas Cassel, Viresh Kumar, Yue Hu).

   - Clean up the generic power domains (genpd) framework (Ulf Hansson).

   - Clean up assorted pieces of power management code and documentation
     (Akinobu Mita, Amit Kucheria, Chuhong Yuan).

   - Update the pm-graph tool to version 5.5 including multiple fixes
     and improvements (Todd Brandt).

   - Update the cpupower utility (Benjamin Weis, Geert Uytterhoeven,
     Sébastien Szymanski)"

The downside of guest side polling is that polling is performed even
with other runnable tasks in the host. However, even if poll in kvm
can aware whether or not other runnable tasks in the same pCPU, it
can still incur extra overhead in over-subscribe scenario. Now we can
just enable guest polling when dedicated pCPUs are available.

cpuidle-haltpoll can be built as a module to allow optional late load.
Given we are setting @owner to THIS_MODULE, cpuidle will attempt to grab a
module reference every time a cpuidle_device is registered -- so
essentially all online cpus get a reference.

This prevents for the module to be unloaded later, which makes the
module_exit callback entirely unused. Thus remove the @owner and allow
module to be unloaded.
