Commit f85942207516 (x86: PM: Make APM idle driver initialize polling
state) made apm_init() call cpuidle_poll_state_init(), but that only
is defined for CONFIG_CPU_IDLE set, so make the empty stub of it
available for CONFIG_CPU_IDLE unset too to fix the resulting build
issue.

<title>cpuidle: Add new macro to enter a retention idle state</title>

<id>db50a74d8193944dd1ee488fd2a813a364fbbaa7</id>
<content type='text'>
If a CPU is entering a low power idle state where it doesn't lose any
context, then there is no need to call cpu_pm_enter()/cpu_pm_exit().
Add a new macro(CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_RETENTION) to be used by cpuidle
drivers when they are entering retention state. By not calling
cpu_pm_enter and cpu_pm_exit we reduce the latency involved in
entering and exiting the retention idle states.

CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_RETENTION assumes that no state is lost and
hence CPU PM notifiers will not be called. We may need a broader
change if we need to support partial retention states effeciently.

On ARM64 based Qualcomm Server Platform we measured below overhead for
for calling cpu_pm_enter and cpu_pm_exit for retention states.

workload: stress --hdd #CPUs --hdd-bytes 32M  -t 30
        Average overhead of cpu_pm_enter - 1.2us
        Average overhead of cpu_pm_exit  - 3.1us

Make the drivers that want to include the polling state into their
states table initialize it explicitly and drop the initialization of
it (which in fact is conditional, but that is not obvious from the
code) from the core.

<title>cpuidle: Eliminate the CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol</title>

<id>dc2251bf98c66db3f4e055b751968f0871037ae4</id>
<content type='text'>
On some architectures the first (index 0) idle state is a polling
one and it doesn't really save energy, so there is the
CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol allowing some pieces of
cpuidle code to avoid using that state.

However, this makes the code rather hard to follow.  It is better
to explicitly avoid the polling state, so add a new cpuidle state
flag CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING to mark it and make the relevant code
check that flag for the first state instead of using the
CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol.

In the ACPI processor driver that cannot always rely on the state
flags (like before the states table has been set up) define
a new internal symbol ACPI_IDLE_STATE_START equivalent to the
CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START one and drop the latter.

In the current code for powernv_add_idle_states, there is a lot of code
duplication while initializing an idle state in powernv_states table.

Add an inline helper function to populate the powernv_states[] table
for a given idle state. Invoke this for populating the "Nap",
"Fastsleep" and the stop states in powernv_add_idle_states.

When idle injection is used to cap power, we need to override the
governor's choice of idle states.

For this reason, make it possible the deepest idle state selection to
be enforced by setting a flag on a given CPU to achieve the maximum
potential power draw reduction.
