Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:

 - Revert two cpuidle commits added during the 3.8 development cycle
   that turn out to have introduced a significant performance regression
   as requested by Jeremy Eder.

 - The recent patches that made the freezer less heavy-weight introduced
   a regression causing user-space-driven hibernation using the ioctl()
   interface to block indefinitely when the hibernate process executes
   try_to_freeze().  Fix from Colin Cross addresses this by adding a
   process flag to mark the hibernate/suspend process to inform the
   freezer that that process should be ignored.

 - One of the recent cpufreq reverts uncovered a problem in the core
   causing the cpufreq driver module refcount to become negative after a
   system suspend-resume cycle.  Fix from Rafael J Wysocki.

 - The evaluation of the ACPI battery _BIX method has never worked
   correctly, because the commit that added support for it forgot to
   take the "Revision" field in the return package into account.  As a
   result, the reading of battery info doesn't work at all on some
   systems, which is addressed by a fix from Lan Tianyu.

printk: rename struct log to struct printk_log

Rename the struct to enable moving portions of
printk.c to separate files.

The rename changes output of /proc/vmcoreinfo.

mm: sched: numa: fix NUMA balancing when !SCHED_DEBUG

2013-07-31T21:41:02+00:00

Commit 3105b86a9fee ("mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of
NUMA balancing if !SCHED_DEBUG") defined numabalancing_enabled to
control the enabling and disabling of automatic NUMA balancing, but it
is never used.

I believe the intention was to use this in place of sched_feat_numa(NUMA).

Currently, if SCHED_DEBUG is not defined, sched_feat_numa(NUMA) will
never be changed from the initial "false".

freezer: set PF_SUSPEND_TASK flag on tasks that call freeze_processes

2013-07-30T12:05:06+00:00

Calling freeze_processes sets a global flag that will cause any
process that calls try_to_freeze to enter the refrigerator.  It
skips sending a signal to the current task, but if the current
task ever hits try_to_freeze, all threads will be frozen and the
system will deadlock.

Set a new flag, PF_SUSPEND_TASK, on the task that calls
freeze_processes.  The flag notifies the freezer that the thread
is involved in suspend and should not be frozen.  Also add a
WARN_ON in thaw_processes if the caller does not have the
PF_SUSPEND_TASK flag set to catch if a different task calls
thaw_processes than the one that called freeze_processes, leaving
a task with PF_SUSPEND_TASK permanently set on it.

Threads that spawn off a task with PF_SUSPEND_TASK set (which
swsusp does) will also have PF_SUSPEND_TASK set, preventing them
from freezing while they are helping with suspend, but they need
to be dead by the time suspend is triggered, otherwise they may
run when userspace is expected to be frozen.  Add a WARN_ON in
thaw_processes if more than one thread has the PF_SUSPEND_TASK
flag set.
