<title>cpuidle: Single/Global registration of idle states</title>

<id>46bcfad7a819bd17ac4e831b04405152d59784ab</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch makes the cpuidle_states structure global (single copy)
instead of per-cpu. The statistics needed on per-cpu basis
by the governor are kept per-cpu. This simplifies the cpuidle
subsystem as state registration is done by single cpu only.
Having single copy of cpuidle_states saves memory. Rare case
of asymmetric C-states can be handled within the cpuidle driver
and architectures such as POWER do not have asymmetric C-states.

Having single/global registration of all the idle states,
dynamic C-state transitions on x86 are handled by
the boot cpu. Here, the boot cpu  would disable all the devices,
re-populate the states and later enable all the devices,
irrespective of the cpu that would receive the notification first.

<title>cpuidle: Split cpuidle_state structure and move per-cpu statistics fields</title>

This is the first step towards global registration of cpuidle
states. The statistics used primarily by the governor are per-cpu
and have to be split from rest of the fields inside cpuidle_state,
which would be made global i.e. single copy. The driver_data field
is also per-cpu and moved.

The cpuidle_device-&gt;prepare() mechanism causes updates to the
cpuidle_state[].flags, setting and clearing CPUIDLE_FLAG_IGNORE
to tell the governor not to chose a state on a per-cpu basis at
run-time. State demotion is now handled by the driver and it returns
the actual state entered. Hence, this mechanism is not required.
Also this removes per-cpu flags from cpuidle_state enabling
it to be made global.

Cpuidle governor only suggests the state to enter using the
governor-&gt;select() interface, but allows the low level driver to
override the recommended state. The actual entered state
may be different because of software or hardware demotion. Software
demotion is done by the back-end cpuidle driver and can be accounted
correctly. Current cpuidle code uses last_state field to capture the
actual state entered and based on that updates the statistics for the
state entered.

Ideally the driver enter routine should update the counters,
and it should return the state actually entered rather than the time
spent there. The generic cpuidle code should simply handle where
the counters live in the sysfs namespace, not updating the counters.
