Some SKL-H configurations require "intel_idle.max_cstate=7" to boot.
While that is an effective workaround, it disables C10.
This patch detects the problematic configuration,
and disables C8 and C9, keeping C10 enabled.
Note that enabling SGX in BIOS SETUP can also prevent this issue,
if the system BIOS provides that option.

Modify dbs_irq_work() to always schedule the process-context work
on the current CPU which also ran the dbs_update_util_handler()
that the irq_work being handled came from.
This causes the entire frequency update handling (involving the
"ondemand" or "conservative" governors) to be carried out by the
CPU whose frequency is to be updated and reduces the overall amount
of inter-CPU noise related to cpufreq.

resync policy->cur with the real frequency of the boot CPU from
cpufreq_resume() as it serves no purpose any more (and it's racy and

Starting a governor in cpufreq always follows the same pattern
involving two calls to cpufreq_governor(), one with the event
argument set to CPUFREQ_GOV_START and one with that argument set to
CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS.
Introduce cpufreq_start_governor() that will carry out those two
operations and make all places where governors are started use it.
That slightly modifies the behavior of cpufreq_set_policy() which
now also will go back to the old governor if the second call to
cpufreq_governor() (the one with event equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS)
fails, but that really is how it should work in the first place.
Also cpufreq_resume() will now pring an error message if the
CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS call to cpufreq_governor() fails, but that
makes it follow cpufreq_add_policy_cpu() and cpufreq_offline()
in that respect.

Commit a9ceb78bc7 (cpuidle,menu: use interactivity_req to disable
polling) changed the behavior of the fallback state selection part
of menu_select() so it looks at interactivity_req instead of
data->next_timer_us when it makes its decision. That effectively
caused polling to be used more often as fallback idle which led to
significant increases of energy consumption in some cases.
Commit e132b9b3bc (cpuidle: menu: use high confidence factors
only when considering polling) changed that logic again to be more
predictable, but that didn't help with the increased energy
consumption problem.
For this reason, go back to making decisions on which state to fall
back to based on data->next_timer_us which is the time we know for
sure something will happen rather than a prediction (which may be
inaccurate and turns out to be so often enough to be problematic).
However, take the target residency of the first proper idle state
(C1) into account, so that state is not used as the fallback one
if its target residency is greater than data->next_timer_us.

This driver has two issues. First, it tries to fiddle with the hot
plugged CPU's MSR on the UP_PREPARE event, at a time when the CPU is
not yet online. Second, the driver sets the "boost-disable" bit for a
CPU when going down, but does not clear the bit again if the CPU comes
up again due to DOWN_FAILED.
This patch fixes the issues by changing the driver to react to the
ONLINE/DOWN_FAILED events instead of UP_PREPARE. As an added benefit,
the driver also becomes symmetric with respect to the hot plug
mechanism.

After commit a4675fbc4a (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with
utilization update callbacks) wrmsrl_on_cpu() cannot be called in the
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() path as that is executed with
disabled interrupts. However, atom_set_pstate() called from there
via intel_pstate_set_pstate() uses wrmsrl_on_cpu() to update the
IA32_PERF_CTL MSR which triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
smp_call_function_single().
The reason why wrmsrl_on_cpu() is used by atom_set_pstate() is
because intel_pstate_set_pstate() calling it is also invoked during
the initialization and cleanup of the driver and in those cases it is
not guaranteed to be run on the CPU that is being updated. However,
in the case when intel_pstate_set_pstate() is called by
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate(), wrmsrl() can be used to update
the register safely. Moreover, intel_pstate_set_pstate() already
contains code that only is executed if the function is called by
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() and there is a special argument
passed to it because of that.
To fix the problem at hand, rearrange the code taking the above
observations into account.
First, replace the ->set() callback in struct pstate_funcs with a
->get_val() one that will return the value to be written to the
IA32_PERF_CTL MSR without updating the register.
Second, split intel_pstate_set_pstate() into two functions,
intel_pstate_update_pstate() to be called by
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() that will contain all of the
intel_pstate_set_pstate() code which only needs to be executed in
that case and will use wrmsrl() to update the MSR (after obtaining
the value to write to it from the ->get_val() callback), and
intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() to be invoked during the
initialization and cleanup that will set the P-state to the
minimum one and will update the MSR using wrmsrl_on_cpu().
Finally, move the code shared between intel_pstate_update_pstate()
and intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() to a new static inline function
intel_pstate_record_pstate() and make them both call it.
Of course, that unifies the handling of the IA32_PERF_CTL MSR writes
between Atom and Core.

The menu governor uses five different factors to pick the
idle state:
- the user configured latency_req
- the time until the next timer (next_timer_us)
- the typical sleep interval, as measured recently
- an estimate of sleep time by dividing next_timer_us by an observed factor
- a load corrected version of the above, divided again by load
Only the first three items are known with enough confidence that
we can use them to consider polling, instead of an actual CPU
idle state, because the cost of being wrong about polling can be
excessive power use.
The latter two are used in the menu governor's main selection
loop, and can result in choosing a shallower idle state when
the system is expected to be busy again soon.
This pushes a busy system in the "performance" direction of
the performance<>power tradeoff, when choosing between idle
states, but stays more strictly on the "power" state when
deciding between polling and C1.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the majority of changes go into cpufreq and they are
significant.
First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different
now. Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for
each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency
periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the
scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates). The
"old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their
work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler
now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the
scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing.
Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of
all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be
simplified quite a bit. On top of that, the common code and data
structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are
cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and
quite annoying problems are addressed. In particular, the handling of
governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes
more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided
(particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code).
In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates
allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to
cpufreq. Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the
works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the
scheduler's utilization data. That should allow the scheduler and
cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run.
In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are
updated too. Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the
cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the
Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and
other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver.
Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material,
including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates,
and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code
optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading
ACPI tables from initrd.
Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL
power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of
traditional assorted fixes and cleanups.

This has been a very busy release for regmap, not just in cleaning up
the mess we got ourselves into with the endianness handling but also in
other areas too:
- Fixes for the endianness handling so that we now explicltly default
to little endian (the code used to do this by accident). This
fixes handling of explictly specified endianness on big endian
systems.
- Optimisation of the implementation of register striding.
- A refectoring of the _update_bits() code to reduce duplication.
- Fixes and enhancements for the interrupt implementation which
make it easier to use in a wider range of systems.

Not the biggest set of changes for SPI but a bit of a pickup in activity
on the core:
- Support for memory mapped read from flash devices via a SPI
controller.
- The beginnings of a message rewriting framework in the core which
should in time allow us to support transforming messages to work
around the limits of controllers or optimise the performance for
controllers transparently to calling drivers.
- Updates to the PXA2xx, the main functional change being to improve
the ACPI support.
- A new driver for the Analog Devices AXI SPI engine.

This is required for CRIU (Checkpoint Restart In Userspace) to migrate a
mount point when write end in user space is closed.
Below is a brief description of the problem.
To migrate a non-catatonic autofs mount point, one has to restore the
control pipe between kernel and autofs master process.
One of the autofs masters is systemd, which closes pipe write end after
passing it to the kernel with mount call.
To be able to restore the systemd control pipe one has to know which
read pipe end in systemd corresponds to the write pipe end in the
kernel. The pipe "fd" in mount options is not enough because it was
closed and probably replaced by some other descriptor.
Thus, some other attribute is required to be able to find the read pipe
end. The best attribute to use to find the correct pipe end is inode
number becuase it's unique for the whole system and can't be reused
while the autofs mount exists.
This attribute can also be used to recognize a situation where an autofs
mount has no master (no process with specified "pgrp" or no file
descriptor with "pipe_ino", specified in autofs mount options).

Similar to how relative extables are implemented, it is possible to emit
the kallsyms table in such a way that it contains offsets relative to
some anchor point in the kernel image rather than absolute addresses.
On 64-bit architectures, it cuts the size of the kallsyms address table
in half, since offsets between kernel symbols can typically be expressed
in 32 bits. This saves several hundreds of kilobytes of permanent
.rodata on average. In addition, the kallsyms address table is no
longer subject to dynamic relocation when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is in
effect, so the relocation work done after decompression now doesn't have
to do relocation updates for all these values. This saves up to 24
bytes (i.e., the size of a ELF64 RELA relocation table entry) per value,
which easily adds up to a couple of megabytes of uncompressed __init
data on ppc64 or arm64. Even if these relocation entries typically
compress well, the combined size reduction of 2.8 MB uncompressed for a
ppc64_defconfig build (of which 2.4 MB is __init data) results in a ~500
KB space saving in the compressed image.
Since it is useful for some architectures (like x86) to retain the
ability to emit absolute values as well, this patch also adds support
for capturing both absolute and relative values when
KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, by emitting absolute per-cpu
addresses as positive 32-bit values, and addresses relative to the
lowest encountered relative symbol as negative values, which are
subtracted from the runtime address of this base symbol to produce the
actual address.
Support for the above is enabled by default for all architectures except
IA-64 and Tile-GX, whose symbols are too far apart to capture in this
manner.

Commit c6bda7c988 ("kallsyms: fix percpu vars on x86-64 with
relocation") overloaded the 'A' (absolute) symbol type to signify that a
symbol is not subject to dynamic relocation. However, the original A
type does not imply that at all, and depending on the version of the
toolchain, many A type symbols are emitted that are in fact relative to
the kernel text, i.e., if the kernel is relocated at runtime, these
symbols should be updated as well.
For instance, on sparc32, the following symbols are emitted as absolute
(kindly provided by Guenter Roeck):
f035a420 A _etext
f03d9000 A _sdata
f03de8c4 A jiffies
f03f8860 A _edata
f03fc000 A __init_begin
f041bdc8 A __init_text_end
f0423000 A __bss_start
f0423000 A __init_end
f044457d A __bss_stop
f044457d A _end
On x86_64, similar behavior can be observed:
ffffffff81a00000 A __end_rodata_hpage_align
ffffffff81b19000 A __vvar_page
ffffffff81d3d000 A _end
Even if only a couple of them pass the symbol range check that results
in them to be taken into account for the final kallsyms symbol table, it
is obvious that 'A' does not mean the symbol does not need to be updated
at relocation time, and overloading its meaning to signify that is
perhaps not a good idea.
So instead, add a new percpu_absolute member to struct sym_entry, and
when --absolute-percpu is in effect, use it to record symbols whose
addresses should be emitted as final values rather than values that
still require relocation at runtime. That way, we can drop the check
against the 'A' type.

This patch escapes a regex that uses left brace.
Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the warning: "Unescaped
left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;"
Comment from regcomp.c in Perl source: "Currently we don't warn when the
lbrace is at the start of a construct. This catches it in the middle of
a literal string, or when it's the first thing after something like
"\b"."
This works as a complement to 4e5d56bd ("checkpatch: fix left brace

Migration accounting in the memory controller used to have to handle
both oldpage and newpage being on the LRU already; fuse's page cache
replacement used to pass a recycled newpage that had been uncharged but
not freed and removed from the LRU, and the memcg migration code used to
uncharge oldpage to "pass on" the existing charge to newpage.
Nowadays, pages are no longer uncharged when truncated from the page
cache, but rather only at free time, so if a LRU page is recycled in
page cache replacement it'll also still be charged. And we bail out of
the charge transfer altogether in that case. Tell commit_charge() that
we know newpage is not on the LRU, to avoid taking the zone->lru_lock
unnecessarily from the migration path.
But also, oldpage is no longer uncharged inside migration. We only use
oldpage for its page->mem_cgroup and page size, so we don't care about
its LRU state anymore either. Remove any mention from the kernel doc.

There is a performance drop report due to hugepage allocation and in
there half of cpu time are spent on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in
compaction [1].
In that workload, compaction is triggered to make hugepage but most of
pageblocks are un-available for compaction due to pageblock type and
skip bit so compaction usually fails. Most costly operations in this
case is to find valid pageblock while scanning whole zone range. To
check if pageblock is valid to compact, valid pfn within pageblock is
required and we can obtain it by calling pageblock_pfn_to_page(). This
function checks whether pageblock is in a single zone and return valid
pfn if possible. Problem is that we need to check it every time before
scanning pageblock even if we re-visit it and this turns out to be very
expensive in this workload.
Although we have no way to skip this pageblock check in the system where
hole exists at arbitrary position, we can use cached value for zone
continuity and just do pfn_to_page() in the system where hole doesn't
exist. This optimization considerably speeds up in above workload.
