Introduce the "dpm_watchdog_enabled" module parameter to allow the DPM
watchdog to be enabled or disabled at boot time and runtime.

Additionally, introduce the CONFIG_DPM_WATCHDOG_ENABLED Kconfig option
to set the default value of the module parameter at compile time.

The primary motivation for this configurability resolves around Android
GKI (Generic Kernel Image).  We want to enable CONFIG_DPM_WATCHDOG in
the GKI so the feature is available.  However, because the GKI is shared
across many different devices, we don't want to inadvertently affect
devices that are unaware of this feature.  This provides a way to
compile it in, but keep it disabled by default for those devices via the
kernel command line or module parameters.

To maintain backward compatibility, CONFIG_DPM_WATCHDOG_ENABLED relies
on `default y`.  Previously, the DPM watchdog was always active if
CONFIG_DPM_WATCHDOG was set.  Defaulting this new option to 'y' ensures
that the behavior remains unchanged for existing users and defconfigs
when they upgrade.

Without this, CRYPTO_LZ4 had to be manually enabled in the config
to use LZ4 for hibernation compression. Add the select so it gets
pulled in automatically when hibernation is enabled, just like
CRYPTO_LZO already does.

Some platforms supports multiple low power states for CPUs that can be used
when entering system-wide suspend. Currently we are always selecting the
deepest possible state for the CPUs, which can break the system wakeup
latency constraint that may be required for a use case.

Let's take the first step towards addressing this problem, by introducing
an interface for user space, that allows us to specify the CPU system
wakeup QoS limit. Subsequent changes will start taking into account the new
QoS limit.

Now not only CPUs can use energy efficiency models, but GPUs
can also use. On the other hand, even with only one CPU, we can also
use energy_model to align control in thermal.
So remove the dependence of SMP, and add the DEVFREQ.

Allow configuring the DPM watchdog to warn about slow suspend/resume
functions without causing a system panic(). This allows you to set the
DPM_WATCHDOG_WARNING_TIMEOUT to something like 5 or 10 seconds to get
warnings about slow suspend/resume functions that eventually succeed.

<title>PM: hibernate: Add support for LZ4 compression for hibernation</title>

<content type='text'>
Extend the support for LZ4 compression to be used with hibernation.
The main idea is that different compression algorithms
have different characteristics and hibernation may benefit when it uses
any of these algorithms: a default algorithm, having higher
compression rate but is slower(compression/decompression) and a
secondary algorithm, that is faster(compression/decompression) but has
lower compression rate.

LZ4 algorithm has better decompression speeds over LZO. This reduces
the hibernation image restore time.
As per test results:
                                    LZO             LZ4
Size before Compression(bytes)   682696704       682393600
Size after Compression(bytes)    146502402       155993547
Decompression Rate               335.02 MB/s     501.05 MB/s
Restore time                       4.4s             3.8s

LZO is the default compression algorithm used for hibernation. Enable
CONFIG_HIBERNATION_COMP_LZ4 to set the default compressor as LZ4.

Currently for hibernation, LZO is the only compression algorithm
available and uses the existing LZO library calls. However, there
is no flexibility to switch to other algorithms which provides better
results. The main idea is that different compression algorithms have
different characteristics and hibernation may benefit when it uses
alternate algorithms.

By moving to crypto based APIs, it lays a foundation to use other
compression algorithms for hibernation. There are no functional changes
introduced by this approach.

Systems that initiate frequent suspend/resume from userspace
can make the kernel aware by enabling PM_USERSPACE_AUTOSLEEP
config.

This allows for certain sleep-sensitive code (wireguard/rng) to
decide on what preparatory work should be performed (or not) in
their pm_notification callbacks.

This patch was prompted by the discussion at [1] which attempts
to remove CONFIG_ANDROID that currently guards these code paths.
