cpuidle: Do not access cpuidle_devices when !CONFIG_CPU_IDLE

2016-06-02T21:05:27+00:00

The cpuidle_devices per-CPU variable is only defined when CPU_IDLE is
enabled. Commit c8cc7d4de7a4 ("sched/idle: Reorganize the idle loop")
removed the #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_IDLE around cpuidle_idle_call() with the
compiler optimising away __this_cpu_read(cpuidle_devices). However, with
CONFIG_UBSAN && !CONFIG_CPU_IDLE, this optimisation no longer happens
and the kernel fails to link since cpuidle_devices is not defined.

This patch introduces an accessor function for the current CPU cpuidle
device (returning NULL when !CONFIG_CPU_IDLE) and uses it in
cpuidle_idle_call().

rcu: Make CPU_DYING_IDLE an explicit call

2016-03-01T19:36:58+00:00

Make the RCU CPU_DYING_IDLE callback an explicit function call, so it gets
invoked at the proper place.

cpu/hotplug: Make wait for dead cpu completion based

2016-03-01T19:36:58+00:00

Kill the busy spinning on the control side and just wait for the hotplugged
cpu to tell that it reached the dead state.

cpu/hotplug: Let upcoming cpu bring itself fully up

2016-03-01T19:36:57+00:00

Let the upcoming cpu kick the hotplug thread and let itself complete the
bringup. That way the controll side can just wait for the completion or later
when we made the hotplug machinery async not care at all.

cpuidle: fix fallback mechanism for suspend to idle in absence of enter_freeze

2016-01-22T01:35:49+00:00

Commit 51164251f5c3 "sched / idle: Drop default_idle_call() fallback
from call_cpuidle()" made find_deepest_state() return non-negative
value and check all the states with index > 0.  Also as a result,
find_deepest_state() returns 0 even when enter_freeze callbacks are not
implemented and enter_freeze_proper() is called which ends up crashing
the kernel.

This patch updates the check for index > 0 in cpuidle_enter_freeze and
cpuidle_idle_call(when idle_should_freeze is true) to restore the
suspend-to-idle functionality in absence of enter_freeze callback.

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-4.5-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

2016-01-21T03:06:49+00:00

Pull more power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This includes fixes on top of the previous batch of PM+ACPI updates
  and some new material as well.

  From the new material perspective the most significant are the driver
  core changes that should allow USB devices to stay suspended over
  system suspend/resume cycles if they have been runtime-suspended
  already beforehand.  Apart from that, ACPICA is updated to upstream
  revision 20160108 (cosmetic mostly, but including one fixup on top of
  the previous ACPICA update) and there are some devfreq updates the
  didn't make it before (due to timing).

  A few recent regressions are fixed, most importantly in the cpuidle
  menu governor and in the ACPI backlight driver and some x86 platform
  drivers depending on it.

  Some more bugs are fixed and cleanups are made on top of that.

  Specifics:

   - Modify the driver core and the USB subsystem to allow USB devices
     to stay suspended over system suspend/resume cycles if they have
     been runtime-suspended already beforehand and fix some bugs on top
     of these changes (Tomeu Vizoso, Rafael Wysocki).

   - Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20160108, including updates of
     the ACPICA's copyright notices, a code fixup resulting from a
     regression fix that was necessary in the upstream code only (the
     regression fixed by it has never been present in Linux) and a
     compiler warning fix (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).

   - Fix a recent regression in the cpuidle menu governor that broke it
     on practically all architectures other than x86 and make a couple
     of optimizations on top of that fix (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Clean up the selection of cpuidle governors depending on whether or
     not the kernel is configured for tickless systems (Jean Delvare).

   - Revert a recent commit that introduced a regression in the ACPI
     backlight driver, address the problem it attempted to fix in a
     different way and revert one more cosmetic change depending on the
     problematic commit (Hans de Goede).

   - Add two more ACPI backlight quirks (Hans de Goede).

   - Fix a few minor problems in the core devfreq code, clean it up a
     bit and update the MAINTAINERS information related to it (Chanwoo
     Choi, MyungJoo Ham).

   - Improve an error message in the ACPI fan driver (Andy Lutomirski).

   - Fix a recent build regression in the cpupower tool (Shreyas
     Prabhu)"

sched / idle: Drop default_idle_call() fallback from call_cpuidle()

2016-01-19T14:27:49+00:00

After commit 9c4b2867ed7c (cpuidle: menu: Fix menu_select() for
CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START == 0) it is clear that menu_select()
cannot return negative values.  Moreover, ladder_select_state()
will never return a negative value too, so make find_deepest_state()
return non-negative values too and drop the default_idle_call()
fallback from call_cpuidle().

This eliminates one branch from the idle loop and makes the governors
and find_deepest_state() handle the case when all states have been
disabled from sysfs consistently.

vmstat: make vmstat_updater deferrable again and shut down on idle

2016-01-15T00:00:49+00:00

Currently the vmstat updater is not deferrable as a result of commit
ba4877b9ca51 ("vmstat: do not use deferrable delayed work for
vmstat_update").  This in turn can cause multiple interruptions of the
applications because the vmstat updater may run at

Make vmstate_update deferrable again and provide a function that folds
the differentials when the processor is going to idle mode thus
addressing the issue of the above commit in a clean way.

Note that the shepherd thread will continue scanning the differentials
from another processor and will reenable the vmstat workers if it
detects any changes.

sched, tracing: Stop/start critical timings around the idle=poll idle loop

2015-10-12T07:45:25+00:00

When using idle=poll, the preemptoff tracer is always showing
the idle task as the culprit for long latencies. That happens
because critical timings are not stopped before idle loop. This
patch stops critical timings before entering the idle loop,
starting it again after the idle loop.

This problem does not affect the irqsoff tracer because
interruptions are enabled before entering the idle loop.
