Users of freq table may want to access it for any CPU from
policy-&gt;related_cpus mask. One such user is cpu-cooling layer. It gets a
list of 'clip_cpus' (equivalent to policy-&gt;related_cpus) during
registration and tries to get freq_table for the first CPU of this mask.

If the CPU, for which it tries to fetch freq_table, is offline,
cpufreq_frequency_get_table() fails. This happens because it relies on
cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() for its functioning which returns policy only for
online CPUs.

The fix is to access the policy data structure for the given CPU
directly (which also returns a valid policy for offline CPUs), but the
policy itself has to be active (meaning that at least one CPU using it
is online) for the frequency table to be returned.

Because we will be using 'cpufreq_cpu_data' now, which is internal to
the cpufreq core, move cpufreq_frequency_get_table() to cpufreq.c.

<title>cpufreq: Initialize the governor again while restoring policy</title>

<id>35afd02e30d6368073df604920c4ea7cddadf5d0</id>
<content type='text'>
When all CPUs of a policy are hot-unplugged, we EXIT the governor but
don't mark policy-&gt;governor as NULL. This was done in order to keep last
used governor's information intact in sysfs, while the CPUs are offline.

But we also need to clear policy-&gt;governor when restoring the policy.

Because policy-&gt;governor still points to the last governor while policy
is restored, following sequence of event happens:
 - cpufreq_init_policy() called while restoring policy
 - find_governor() matches last_governor string for present governors and
   returns last used governor's pointer, say ondemand. policy-&gt;governor
   already has the same address, unless the governor was removed in
   between.
 - cpufreq_set_policy() is called with both old/new policies governor set
   as ondemand.
 - Because governors matched, we skip governor initialization and return
   after calling __cpufreq_governor(CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS). Because the
   governor wasn't initialized for this policy, it returned -EBUSY.
 - cpufreq_init_policy() exits the policy on this error, but doesn't
   destroy it properly (should be fixed separately).
 - And so we enter a scenario where the policy isn't completely
   initialized but used.

Fix this by setting policy-&gt;governor to NULL while restoring the policy.

Pull module_platform_driver replacement from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Replace module_platform_driver with builtin_platform driver in non
  modules.

  We see an increasing number of non-modular drivers using
  modular_driver() type register functions.  There are several downsides
  to letting this continue unchecked:

   - The code can appear modular to a reader of the code, and they won't
     know if the code really is modular without checking the Makefile
     and Kconfig to see if compilation is governed by a bool or
     tristate.

   - Coders of drivers may be tempted to code up an __exit function that
     is never used, just in order to satisfy the required three args of
     the modular registration function.

   - Non-modular code ends up including the &lt;module.h&gt; which increases
     CPP overhead that they don't need.

   - It hinders us from performing better separation of the module init
     code and the generic init code.

  So here we introduce similar macros for builtin drivers.  Then we
  convert builtin drivers (controlled by a bool Kconfig) by making the
  following type of mapping:

    module_platform_driver()       ---&gt;  builtin_platform_driver()
    module_platform_driver_probe() ---&gt;  builtin_platform_driver_probe().

  The set of drivers that are converted here are just the ones that
  showed up as relying on an implicit include of &lt;module.h&gt; during a
  pending header cleanup.  So we convert them here vs adding an include
  of &lt;module.h&gt; to non-modular code to avoid compile fails.  Additonal
  conversions can be done asynchronously at any time.

  Once again, an unused module_exit function that is removed here
  appears in the diffstat as an outlier wrt all the other changes"

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The rework of backlight interface selection API from Hans de Goede
  stands out from the number of commits and the number of affected
  places perspective.  The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are
  quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because
  they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the
  majority of cases.

  From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream
  revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is
  the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be
  based on it going forward.  Also included is an update of the ACPI
  device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects
  the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support
  wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA
  device configuration object.

  The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation
  updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points.

  There is one fix for a regression introduced in the 4.1 cycle, but it
  adds quite a number of lines of code, it wasn't really ready before
  Thursday and you were on vacation, so I refrained from pushing it on
  the last minute for 4.1.

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150515 including basic support
     for ACPI 6 features: new ACPI tables introduced by ACPI 6 (STAO,
     XENV, WPBT, NFIT, IORT), changes related to the other tables (DTRM,
     FADT, LPIT, MADT), new predefined names (_BTH, _CR3, _DSD, _LPI,
     _MTL, _PRR, _RDI, _RST, _TFP, _TSN), fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore,
     Lv Zheng).

   - ACPI device power management core code update to follow ACPI 6
     which reflects the ACPI device power management implementation in
     Windows (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - rework of the backlight interface selection logic to reduce the
     number of kernel command line options and improve the handling of
     DMI quirks that may be involved in that and to make the code
     generally more straightforward (Hans de Goede).

   - fixes for the ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) driver related to the
     handling of EC transactions (Lv Zheng).

   - fix for a regression related to the ACPI resources management and
     resulting from a recent change of ACPI initialization code ordering
     (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - fix for a system initialization regression related to ACPI
     introduced during the 3.14 cycle and caused by running the code
     that switches the platform over to the ACPI mode too early in the
     initialization sequence (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object related to
     DMA cache coherence (Suravee Suthikulpanit).

   - ACPI/APEI fixes and cleanups (Jiri Kosina, Borislav Petkov).

   - ACPI battery driver cleanups (Luis Henriques, Mathias Krause).

   - ACPI processor driver cleanups (Hanjun Guo).

   - cleanups and documentation update related to the ACPI device
     properties interface based on _DSD (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - ACPI device power management fixes (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - assorted cleanups related to ACPI (Dominik Brodowski, Fabian
     Frederick, Lorenzo Pieralisi, Mathias Krause, Rafael J Wysocki).

   - fix for a long-standing issue causing General Protection Faults to
     be generated occasionally on return to user space after resume from
     ACPI-based suspend-to-RAM on 32-bit x86 (Ingo Molnar).

   - fix to make the suspend core code return -EBUSY consistently in all
     cases when system suspend is aborted due to wakeup detection (Ruchi
     Kandoi).

   - support for automated device wakeup IRQ handling allowing drivers
     to make their PM support more starightforward (Tony Lindgren).

   - new tracepoints for suspend-to-idle tracing and rework of the
     prepare/complete callbacks tracing in the PM core (Todd E Brandt,
     Rafael J Wysocki).

   - wakeup sources framework enhancements (Jin Qian).

   - new macro for noirq system PM callbacks (Grygorii Strashko).

   - assorted cleanups related to system suspend (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - cpuidle core cleanups to make the code more efficient (Rafael J
     Wysocki).

   - powernv/pseries cpuidle driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat).

   - cpufreq core fixes related to CPU online/offline that should reduce
     the overhead of these operations quite a bit, unless the CPU in
     question is physically going away (Viresh Kumar, Saravana Kannan).

   - serialization of cpufreq governor callbacks to avoid race
     conditions in some cases (Viresh Kumar).

   - intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups (Doug Smythies, Prarit
     Bhargava, Joe Konno).

   - cpufreq driver (arm_big_little, cpufreq-dt, qoriq) updates (Sudeep
     Holla, Felipe Balbi, Tang Yuantian).

     Fabian Frederick, Wang Long).

   - new Device Tree bindings for representing Operating Performance
     Points (Viresh Kumar).

   - updates for the common clock operations support code in the PM core
     (Rajendra Nayak, Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - PM domains core code update (Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - Intel Knights Landing support for the RAPL (Running Average Power
     Limit) power capping driver (Dasaratharaman Chandramouli).

   - fixes related to the floor frequency setting on Atom SoCs in the
     RAPL power capping driver (Ajay Thomas).

   - runtime PM framework documentation update (Ben Dooks).

   - cpupower tool fix (Herton R Krzesinski)"

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
  in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
  so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
  collected into the 'x86/core' topic.

  The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
  bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
  but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
  dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
  end.

  The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
  have fewer dependencies).

  The main changes in this cycle were:

   * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
     Gleixner)

     - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
       interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
       domains:

          [IOAPIC domain]   -----
                                 |
          [MSI domain]      --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
                                 |   (optional)          |
          [HPET MSI domain] -----                        |
                                                         |
          [DMAR domain]     -----------------------------
                                                         |
          [Legacy domain]   -----------------------------

       This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
       the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
       can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping.  It's a clear
       separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
       constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
       and the vector management.

     - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
       injection into guests (Feng Wu)

   * x86/asm changes:

     - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations.  This
       is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
       code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
       Brian Gerst)

     - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
       arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)

     - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
       Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
       they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
       not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)

     - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/mm changes:

     - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
       preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
       in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
       Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)

     - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
       Write-Through cached memory mappings.  This is especially
       important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)

   * x86/ras changes:

     - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)

       This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
       poisoned data.  That means roughly that the hardware marks data
       which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
       poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
       form of a deferred error.  It is the OS's responsibility then to
       take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
       far as possible.

     - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
       CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
       wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)

     - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/platform changes:

     - Intel Atom SoC updates

  ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
  shortlog and the Git log for details"

* 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (222 commits)
  x86/hpet: Use proper hpet device number for MSI allocation
  x86/hpet: Check for irq==0 when allocating hpet MSI interrupts

  x86/mm/pat, drivers/media/ivtv: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled
  x86/platform/intel/baytrail: Add comments about why we disabled HPET on Baytrail

          [Legacy domain]   -----------------------------

       This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
       the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
       can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping.  It's a clear
       separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
       constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
       and the vector management.

     - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
       injection into guests (Feng Wu)

   * x86/asm changes:

     - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations.  This
       is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
       code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
       Brian Gerst)

     - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
       arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)

     - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
       Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
       they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
       not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)

     - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/mm changes:

     - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
       preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
       in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
       Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)

     - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
       Write-Through cached memory mappings.  This is especially
       important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)

   * x86/ras changes:

     - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)

       This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
       poisoned data.  That means roughly that the hardware marks data
       which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
       poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
       form of a deferred error.  It is the OS's responsibility then to
       take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
       far as possible.

     - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
       CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
       wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)

     - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/platform changes:

     - Intel Atom SoC updates

  ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
  shortlog and the Git log for details"
