<id>a474a515497ef3566cfc17a2cab3d54d6d50ff1c</id>
<content type='text'>
Many cpuidle drivers measure their time spent in an idle state by
reading the wallclock time before and after idling and calculating the
difference. This leads to erroneous results when the wallclock time gets
updated by another processor in the meantime, adding that clock
adjustment to the idle state's time counter.

If the clock adjustment was negative, the result is even worse due to an
erroneous cast from int to unsigned long long of the last_residency
variable. The negative 32 bit integer will zero-extend and result in a
forward time jump of roughly four billion milliseconds or 1.3 hours on
the idle state residency counter.

This patch changes all affected cpuidle drivers to either use the
monotonic clock for their measurements or make use of the generic time
measurement wrapper in cpuidle.c, which was already working correctly.
Some superfluous CLIs/STIs in the ACPI code are removed (interrupts
should always already be disabled before entering the idle function, and
not get reenabled until the generic wrapper has performed its second
measurement). It also removes the erroneous cast, making sure that
negative residency values are applied correctly even though they should
not appear anymore.

<title>cpuidle / ACPI : move cpuidle_device field out of the acpi_processor_power structure</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently we have the cpuidle_device field in the acpi_processor_power structure.
This adds a dependency between processor.h and cpuidle.h

Although it is not a real problem, removing this dependency has the benefit of
separating a bit more the cpuidle code from the rest of the acpi code.
Also, the compilation should be a bit improved because we do no longer
include cpuidle.h in processor.h. The preprocessor was generating 30418 loc
and with this patch it generates 30256 loc for processor_thermal.c, a file
which is not concerned at all by cpuidle, like processor_perflib.c and
processor_throttling.c.

That may sound ridiculous, but "small streams make big rivers" :P

This patch moves this field into a static global per cpu variable like what is
done in the intel_idle driver.

Pull ACPI &amp; power management update from Len Brown:
 "Re-write of the turbostat tool.
     lower overhead was necessary for measuring very large system when
     they are very idle.

  IVB support in intel_idle
     It's what I run on my IVB, others should be able to also:-)

  ACPICA core update
     We have found some bugs due to divergence between Linux and the
     upstream ACPICA base.  Most of these patches are to reduce that
     divergence to reduce the risk of future bugs.

  Some cpuidle updates, mostly for non-Intel
     More will be coming, as they depend on this part.

  Some thermal management changes needed by non-ACPI systems.

  Some _OST (OS Status Indication) updates for hot ACPI hot-plug."

* 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux: (51 commits)
  Thermal: Documentation update
  Thermal: Add Hysteresis attributes
  Thermal: Make Thermal trip points writeable
  ACPI/AC: prevent OOPS on some boxes due to missing check power_supply_register() return value check
  tools/power: turbostat: fix large c1% issue
  tools/power: turbostat v2 - re-write for efficiency
  ACPICA: Update to version 20120711
  ACPICA: AcpiSrc: Fix some translation issues for Linux conversion
  ACPICA: Update header files copyrights to 2012
  ACPICA: Add new ACPI table load/unload external interfaces
  ACPICA: Split file: tbxface.c -&gt; tbxfload.c
  ACPICA: Add PCC address space to space ID decode function
  ACPICA: Fix some comment fields
