Pull power management and ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are fixes mostly, for a few changes made in this cycle (the
  intel_idle driver, the OPP library, the ACPI EC driver, turbostat) and
  for some issues that have just been discovered (ACPI PCI IRQ
  management, PCI power management documentation, turbostat), with a
  couple of cleanups on top of them.

  Specifics:

   - intel_idle driver fixup for the recently added Skylake chips
     support (Len Brown).

   - Operating Performance Points (OPP) library fix related to the
     recently added support for new DT bindings and a fix for a typo in
     a comment (Viresh Kumar, Stephen Boyd).

   - ACPI EC driver fix for a recently introduced memory leak in an
     error code path (Lv Zheng).

   - ACPI PCI IRQ management fix for the issue where an ISA IRQ is
     shared with a PCI device which requires it to be configured in a
     different way and may cause an interrupt storm to happen as a
     result with an extra ACPI SCI IRQ handling simplification on top of
     it (Jiang Liu).

   - Update of the PCI power management documentation that became
     outdated and started to actively confuse the readers to make it
     actually reflect the code (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - turbostat fixes including an IVB Xeon regression fix (related to
     the --debug command line option), Skylake adjustment for the TSC
     running at a frequency that doesn't match the base one exactly, and
     a Knights Landing quirk to account for the fact that it only
     updates APERF and MPERF every 1024 clock cycles plus bumping up the
     turbostat version number (Len Brown, Hubert Chrzaniuk)"

On a Skylake with 1500MHz base frequency,
the TSC runs at 1512MHz.

This is because the TSC is no longer in the n*100 MHz BCLK domain,
but is now in the m*24MHz crystal clock domain. (24 MHz * 63 = 1512 MHz)

This adds error to several calculations in turbostat,
unless the TSC sample sizes are adjusted for this difference.

Note that calculations in the time domain are immune
from this issue, as the timing sub-system has already
calibrated the TSC against a known wall clock.

AVG_MHz = APERF_delta/measurement_interval

	need no adjustment.  APERF_delta is in the BCLK domain,
	and measurement_interval is in the time domain.

TSC_MHz  =  TSC_delta/measurement_interval

	needs no adjustment -- as we really do want to report
	the actual measured TSC delta here, and measurement_interval
	is in the accurate time domain.

%Busy = MPERF_delta/TSC_delta

	needs adjustment to use TSC_BCLK_DOMAIN_delta.
	TSC_BCLK_DOMAIN_delta = TSC_delta * base_hz / tsc_hz

Bzy_MHz = TSC_delta/APERF_delta/MPERF_delta/measurement_interval

	need adjustment as above.

No other metrics in turbostat need to be adjusted.

Before:

     CPU Avg_MHz   %Busy Bzy_MHz TSC_MHz
       -     550   24.84    2216    1512
       0    2191   98.73    2219    1514
       2       0    0.01    2130    1512
       1       9    0.43    2016    1512
       3       2    0.08    2016    1512

After:

     CPU Avg_MHz   %Busy Bzy_MHz TSC_MHz
       -     550   25.05    2198    1512
       0    2190   99.62    2199    1512
       2       0    0.01    2152    1512
       1       9    0.46    2000    1512
       3       2    0.10    2000    1512

Note that in this example, the "Before" Bzy_MHz
was reported as exceeding the 2200 max turbo rate.
Also, even a pinned spin loop would not be reported
as over 99% busy.

<title>tools/power turbostat: KNL workaround for %Busy and Avg_MHz</title>

KNL increments APERF and MPERF every 1024 clocks.
This is compliant with the architecture specification,
which requires that only the ratio of APERF/MPERF need be valid.

However, turbostat takes advantage of the fact that these
two MSRs increment every un-halted clock
at the actual and base frequency:

AVG_MHz = APERF_delta/measurement_interval

%Busy = MPERF_delta/TSC_delta

This quirk is needed for these calculations to also work on KNL,
which would otherwise show a value 1024x smaller than expected.

Staring in Linux-4.3-rc1,
commit 6fb3143b561c ("tools/power turbostat: dump CONFIG_TDP")
touches MSR 0x648, which is not supported on IVB-Xeon.
This results in "turbostat --debug" exiting on those systems:

turbostat: /dev/cpu/2/msr offset 0x648 read failed: Input/output error

Remove IVB-Xeon from the list of machines supporting with that MSR.

<title>perf tools: Fix copying of /proc/kcore</title>

<id>b5cabbcbd157a4bf5a92dfc85134999a3b55342d</id>
<content type='text'>
A copy of /proc/kcore containing the kernel text can be made to the
buildid cache. e.g.

	perf buildid-cache -v -k /proc/kcore

To workaround objdump limitations, a copy is also made when annotating
against /proc/kcore.

The copying process stops working from libelf about v1.62 onwards (the
problem was found with v1.63).

The cause is that a call to gelf_getphdr() in kcore__add_phdr() fails
because additional validation has been added to gelf_getphdr().

The use of gelf_getphdr() is a misguided attempt to get default
initialization of the Gelf_Phdr structure.  That should not be
necessary because every member of the Gelf_Phdr structure is
subsequently assigned.  So just remove the call to gelf_getphdr().

Similarly, a call to gelf_getehdr() in gelf_kcore__init() can be
removed also.

Committer notes:

Note to stable@kernel.org, from Adrian in the cover letter for this
patchkit:

The "Fix copying of /proc/kcore" problem goes back to v3.13 if you think
it is important enough for stable.

To workaround objdump limitations, a copy is also made when annotating
against /proc/kcore.

The copying process stops working from libelf about v1.62 onwards (the
problem was found with v1.63).

The cause is that a call to gelf_getphdr() in kcore__add_phdr() fails
because additional validation has been added to gelf_getphdr().

The use of gelf_getphdr() is a misguided attempt to get default
initialization of the Gelf_Phdr structure.  That should not be
necessary because every member of the Gelf_Phdr structure is
subsequently assigned.  So just remove the call to gelf_getphdr().

Similarly, a call to gelf_getehdr() in gelf_kcore__init() can be
removed also.

Committer notes:

Note to stable@kernel.org, from Adrian in the cover letter for this
patchkit:

The "Fix copying of /proc/kcore" problem goes back to v3.13 if you think
it is important enough for stable.

no_force_psb was dropped as a late change to the kernel driver.
Consequently, remove it from the documentation.

<title>perf probe: Use existing routine to look for a kernel module by dso-&gt;short_name</title>

We have map_groups__find_by_name() to look at the list of modules that
are in place for a given machine, so use it instead of traversing the
machine dso list, which also includes DSOs for userspace.

When merging the user and kernel DSO lists a bug was introduced where
'perf probe' stopped being able to add probes to modules using its short
name:

  # perf probe -m usbnet --add usbnet_start_xmit
  usbnet_start_xmit is out of .text, skip it.
    Error: Failed to add events.
  #

With this fix it works again:

  # perf probe -m usbnet --add usbnet_start_xmit
  Added new event:
    probe:usbnet_start_xmit (on usbnet_start_xmit in usbnet)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:usbnet_start_xmit -aR sleep 1
