We get two warning when build kernel with W=1:
arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c:872:6: warning: no previous prototype for ‘arch_haltpoll_enable’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]
arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c:885:6: warning: no previous prototype for ‘arch_haltpoll_disable’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]

Including the missing head file can fix this.

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)"

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - MAINTAINERS: Add Mark Rutland as perf submaintainer, Juri Lelli and
   Vincent Guittot as scheduler submaintainers. Add Dietmar Eggemann,
   Steven Rostedt, Ben Segall and Mel Gorman as scheduler reviewers.

   As perf and the scheduler is getting bigger and more complex,
   document the status quo of current responsibilities and interests,
   and spread the review pain^H^H^H^H fun via an increase in the Cc:
   linecount generated by scripts/get_maintainer.pl. :-)

 - Add another series of patches that brings the -rt (PREEMPT_RT) tree
   closer to mainline: split the monolithic CONFIG_PREEMPT dependencies
   into a new CONFIG_PREEMPTION category that will allow the eventual
   introduction of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Still a few more hundred patches
   to go though.

 - Extend the CPU cgroup controller with uclamp.min and uclamp.max to
   allow the finer shaping of CPU bandwidth usage.

 - Micro-optimize energy-aware wake-ups from O(CPUS^2) to O(CPUS).

 - Improve the behavior of high CPU count, high thread count
   applications running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints.

 - Improve balancing with SCHED_IDLE (SCHED_BATCH) tasks present.

 - Improve CPU isolation housekeeping CPU allocation NUMA locality.

 - Fix deadline scheduler bandwidth calculations and logic when cpusets
   rebuilds the topology, or when it gets deadline-throttled while it's
   being offlined.

 - Convert the cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem, to allow it to be used from
   setscheduler() system calls without creating global serialization.
   Add new synchronization between cpuset topology-changing events and
   the deadline acceptance tests in setscheduler(), which were broken
   before.

 - Rework the active_mm state machine to be less confusing and more
   optimal.

 - Rework (simplify) the pick_next_task() slowpath.

 - Improve load-balancing on AMD EPYC systems.

 - ... and misc cleanups, smaller fixes and improvements - please see
   the Git log for more details.

<title>KVM: X86: Use IPI shorthands in kvm guest when support</title>

IPI shorthand is supported now by linux apic/x2apic driver, switch to
IPI shorthand for all excluding self and all including self destination
shorthand in kvm guest, to avoid splitting the target mask into several
PV IPI hypercalls. This patch removes the kvm_send_ipi_all() and
kvm_send_ipi_allbutself() since the callers in APIC codes have already
taken care of apic_use_ipi_shorthand and fallback to -&gt;send_IPI_mask
and -&gt;send_IPI_mask_allbutself if it is false.

<title>cpuidle-haltpoll: Enable kvm guest polling when dedicated physical CPUs are available</title>

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.

When cpus != maxcpus cpuidle-haltpoll will fail to register all vcpus
past the online ones and thus fail to register the idle driver.
This is because cpuidle_add_sysfs() will return with -ENODEV as a
consequence from get_cpu_device() return no device for a non-existing
CPU.

Instead switch to cpuidle_register_driver() and manually register each
of the present cpus through cpuhp_setup_state() callbacks and future
ones that get onlined or offlined. This mimmics similar logic that
intel_idle does.

Most code in arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c is called through x86_hyper_kvm, and thus only
runs if KVM has been detected.  There is no need to check again for the CPUID
base.
