commit 95e3ec11491d0cbce9fcdf1cc17a527c114c7dcf upstream.

Fix the following warning:

drivers/idle/intel_idle.c: In function 'intel_idle_cpuidle_devices_init':
drivers/idle/intel_idle.c:518:5: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]

By making get_driver_data() return a long instead of an int.

commit 3735d524da64b70b41c764359da36f88aded3610 upstream.

If the machine is booted without any cpu_idle driver set
(b/c disable_cpuidle() has been called) we should follow
other users of cpu_idle API and check the return value
for NULL before using it.

<title>intel_idle: Don't register CPU notifier if we are not running.</title>

commit 6f8c2e7933679f54b6478945dc72e59ef9a3d5e0 upstream.

The 'intel_idle_probe' probes the CPU and sets the CPU notifier.
But if later on during the module initialization we fail (say
in cpuidle_register_driver), we stop loading, but we neglect
to unregister the CPU notifier.  This means that during CPU
hotplug events the system will fail:

calling  intel_idle_init+0x0/0x326 @ 1
intel_idle: MWAIT substates: 0x1120
intel_idle: v0.4 model 0x2A
intel_idle: lapic_timer_reliable_states 0xffffffff
intel_idle: intel_idle yielding to none
initcall intel_idle_init+0x0/0x326 returned -19 after 14 usecs

... some time later, offlining and onlining a CPU:

IVB Xeon currently shares the same parameters IVB client.

For 3.2, add model number to the switch in intel_idle_probe(), as
there is no device ID table.

commit 39a74fdedd1c1461d6fb6d330b5266886513c98f upstream.

smp_call_function() only lets all other CPUs execute a specific function,
while we expect all CPUs do in intel_idle.  Without the fix, we could have
one cpu which has auto_demotion enabled or has no broadcast timer setup.
Usually we don't see impact because auto demotion just harms power and the
intel_idle init is called in CPU 0, where boradcast timer delivers
interrupt, but this still could be a problem.

one cpu which has auto_demotion enabled or has no broadcast timer setup.
Usually we don't see impact because auto demotion just harms power and the
intel_idle init is called in CPU 0, where boradcast timer delivers
interrupt, but this still could be a problem.

commit 5c2a9f06a9cd7194f884cdc88144866235dec07d upstream.

kvm -cpu host passes the original cpuid info to the guest.

Latest kvm version seem to return true for mwait_leaf cpuid
function on recent Intel CPUs. But it does not return mwait
C-states (mwait_substates), instead zero is returned.

While real CPUs seem to always return non-zero values, the intel
idle driver should not get active in kvm (mwait_substates == 0)
case and bail out.
Otherwise a Null pointer exception will happen later when the
cpuidle subsystem tries to get active:

This patch makes the cpuidle_states structure global (single copy)
instead of per-cpu. The statistics needed on per-cpu basis
by the governor are kept per-cpu. This simplifies the cpuidle
subsystem as state registration is done by single cpu only.
Having single copy of cpuidle_states saves memory. Rare case
of asymmetric C-states can be handled within the cpuidle driver
and architectures such as POWER do not have asymmetric C-states.

Having single/global registration of all the idle states,
dynamic C-state transitions on x86 are handled by
the boot cpu. Here, the boot cpu  would disable all the devices,
re-populate the states and later enable all the devices,
irrespective of the cpu that would receive the notification first.

This is the first step towards global registration of cpuidle
states. The statistics used primarily by the governor are per-cpu
and have to be split from rest of the fields inside cpuidle_state,
which would be made global i.e. single copy. The driver_data field
is also per-cpu and moved.
