We currently read the information about idle states from the DT
so as to populate the cpuidle table. Use those APIs to read from
the DT that can avoid endianness conversions of the property values
in the cpuidle driver.

The device tree now exposes the residency values for different idle states. Read
these values instead of calculating residency from the latency values. The values
exposed in the DT are validated for optimal power efficiency. However to maintain
compatibility with the older firmware code which does not expose residency
values, use default values as a fallback mechanism. While at it, use better
APIs to parse the powermgmt device tree node.

Pull suspend-to-idle updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Suspend-to-idle timer quiescing support for v3.20-rc1

  Until now suspend-to-idle has not been able to save much more energy
  than runtime PM because of timer interrupts that periodically bring
  CPUs out of idle while they are waiting for a wakeup interrupt.  Of
  course, the timer interrupts are not wakeup ones, so the handling of
  them can be deferred until a real wakeup interrupt happens, but at the
  same time we don't want to mass-expire timers at that point.

  The solution is to suspend the entire timekeeping when the last CPU is
  entering an idle state and resume it when the first CPU goes out of
  idle.  That has to be done with care, though, so as to avoid accessing
  suspended clocksources etc.  end we need extra support from idle
  drivers for that.

  This series of commits adds support for quiescing timers during
  suspend-to-idle and adds the requisite callbacks to intel_idle and the
  ACPI cpuidle driver"

The efficiency of suspend-to-idle depends on being able to keep CPUs
in the deepest available idle states for as much time as possible.
Ideally, they should only be brought out of idle by system wakeup
interrupts.

However, timer interrupts occurring periodically prevent that from
happening and it is not practical to chase all of the "misbehaving"
timers in a whack-a-mole fashion.  A much more effective approach is
to suspend the local ticks for all CPUs and the entire timekeeping
along the lines of what is done during full suspend, which also
helps to keep suspend-to-idle and full suspend reasonably similar.

The idea is to suspend the local tick on each CPU executing
cpuidle_enter_freeze() and to make the last of them suspend the
entire timekeeping.  That should prevent timer interrupts from
triggering until an IO interrupt wakes up one of the CPUs.  It
needs to be done with interrupts disabled on all of the CPUs,
though, because otherwise the suspended clocksource might be
accessed by an interrupt handler which might lead to fatal
consequences.

Unfortunately, the existing -&gt;enter callbacks provided by cpuidle
drivers generally cannot be used for implementing that, because some
of them re-enable interrupts temporarily and some idle entry methods
cause interrupts to be re-enabled automatically on exit.  Also some
of these callbacks manipulate local clock event devices of the CPUs
which really shouldn't be done after suspending their ticks.

To overcome that difficulty, introduce a new cpuidle state callback,
-&gt;enter_freeze, that will be guaranteed (1) to keep interrupts
disabled all the time (and return with interrupts disabled) and (2)
not to touch the CPU timer devices.  Modify cpuidle_enter_freeze() to
look for the deepest available idle state with -&gt;enter_freeze present
and to make the CPU execute that callback with suspended tick (and the
last of the online CPUs to execute it with suspended timekeeping).

In preparation for adding support for quiescing timers in the final
stage of suspend-to-idle transitions, rework the freeze_enter()
function making the system wait on a wakeup event, the freeze_wake()
function terminating the suspend-to-idle loop and the mechanism by
which deep idle states are entered during suspend-to-idle.

First of all, introduce a simple state machine for suspend-to-idle
and make the code in question use it.

Second, prevent freeze_enter() from losing wakeup events due to race
conditions and ensure that the number of online CPUs won't change
while it is being executed.  In addition to that, make it force
all of the CPUs re-enter the idle loop in case they are in idle
states already (so they can enter deeper idle states if possible).

Next, drop cpuidle_use_deepest_state() and replace use_deepest_state
checks in cpuidle_select() and cpuidle_reflect() with a single
suspend-to-idle state check in cpuidle_idle_call().

Finally, introduce cpuidle_enter_freeze() that will simply find the
deepest idle state available to the given CPU and enter it using
cpuidle_enter().

     constant array together with sys_call_table
   - export CPU cache information via /sys (like other architectures)
   - DMA API implementation clean-up in preparation for IOMMU support
   - macros clean-up for KVM
   - dropped some unnecessary cache+tlb maintenance
   - CONFIG_ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND clean-up
   - defconfig update (CPU_IDLE)

  The EFI changes going via the arm64 tree have been acked by Matt
  Fleming.  There is also a patch adding sys_*stat64 prototypes to
  include/linux/syscalls.h, acked by Andrew Morton"

Merge "Samsung CPUIdle updates for v3.20" from Kukjin Kim:

- adds coupled cpuidle support for exynos4210
  : fix for Exynos platform PM code preparing it for the coupled
  cpuidle support and adds coupled cpuidle AFTR mode on exynos4210

Note this is mostrly based on earlier cpuidle-exynos4210 driver
from Daniel Lezcano and Bart updated.

The following patch adds coupled cpuidle support for Exynos4210 to
an existing cpuidle-exynos driver.  As a result it enables AFTR mode
to be used by default on Exynos4210 without the need to hot unplug
CPU1 first.

The patch is heavily based on earlier cpuidle-exynos4210 driver from
Daniel Lezcano:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-samsung-soc/msg28134.html

Changes from Daniel's code include:
- porting code to current kernels
- fixing it to work on my setup (by using S5P_INFORM register
  instead of S5P_VA_SYSRAM one on Revison 1.1 and retrying poking
  CPU1 out of the BOOT ROM if necessary)
- fixing rare lockup caused by waiting for CPU1 to get stuck in
  the BOOT ROM (CPU hotplug code in arch/arm/mach-exynos/platsmp.c
  doesn't require this and works fine)
- moving Exynos specific code to arch/arm/mach-exynos/pm.c
- using cpu_boot_reg_base() helper instead of BOOT_VECTOR macro
- using exynos_cpu_*() helpers instead of accessing registers
  directly
- using arch_send_wakeup_ipi_mask() instead of dsb_sev()
  (this matches CPU hotplug code in arch/arm/mach-exynos/platsmp.c)
- integrating separate exynos4210-cpuidle driver into existing
  exynos-cpuidle one
