Processor Clocking Control (PCC) is an interface between the BIOS and OSPM.
Based on the server workload, OSPM can request what frequency it expects
from a logical CPU, and the BIOS will achieve that frequency transparently.
This patch introduces driver support for PCC. OSPM uses the PCC driver to
communicate with the BIOS via the PCC interface.
There is a Documentation file that provides a link to the PCC
Specification, and also provides a summary of the PCC interface.
Currently, certain HP ProLiant platforms implement the PCC interface. However,
any platform whose BIOS implements the PCC Specification, can utilize this
driver.
V2 --> V1 changes (based on Dominik's suggestions):
- Removed the dependency on CPU_FREQ_TABLE
- "cpufreq_stats" will no longer PANIC. Actually, it will not load anymore
because it is not applicable.
- Removed the sanity check for target frequency in the ->target routine.
NOTE: A patch to sanitize the target frequency requested by "ondemand" is
needed to ensure that the target freq < policy->min.
Can this driver be queued up for the 2.6.33 tree?

Easy fix for a regression introduced in 2.6.31.
On managed CPUs the cpufreq.c core will call driver->exit(cpu) on the
managed cpus and powernow_k8 will free the core's data.
Later driver->get(cpu) function might get called trying to read out the
current freq of a managed cpu and the NULL pointer check does not work on
the freed object -> better set it to NULL.
->get() is unsigned and must return 0 as invalid frequency.

considered as a valid stack pointer but not as a kernel address.
In this case, we hang in an endless loop. This can happen in an

Just stop the stack frame walking after we encounter an invalid

With the recent irq migration fixes (post 2.6.32), Gary Hade has noticed
"No IRQ handler for vector" messages during the 2.6.33-rc1 kernel boot on IBM
AMD platforms and root caused the issue to this commit:

> x86: Remove move_cleanup_count from irq_cfg
As part of this patch, we have removed the move_cleanup_count check
in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(). With this change, we can run into a
situation where an irq cleanup interrupt on a cpu can cleanup the vector
mappings associated with multiple irqs, of which one of the irq's migration
might be still in progress. As such when that irq hits the old cpu, we get
the "No IRQ handler" messages.
Fix this by checking for the irq_cfg's move_in_progress and if the move
is still in progress delay the vector cleanup to another irq cleanup
interrupt request (which will happen when the irq starts arriving at the
new cpu destination).

We want to use a vector-assignment sequence that avoids stumbling onto
0x80 earlier in the sequence, in order to improve the spread of
vectors across priority levels on machines with a small number of
interrupt sources. Right now, this is done by simply making the first
vector (0x31 or 0x41) completely unusable. This is unnecessary; all
we need is to start assignment at a +1 offset, we don't actually need
to prohibit the usage of this vector once we have wrapped around.

Pass the frame pointer from the regs of the interrupted path
to dump_trace() while processing the stack trace.
Currently, dump_trace() takes the current bp and starts the
callchain from dump_trace() itself. This is wasteful because
we need to walk through the entire NMI/DEBUG stack before
retrieving the interrupted point.
We can fix that by just using the frame pointer from the
captured regs. It points exactly where we want to start.

with patching call instructions in the alternative instructions

As a follow-on, one could also introduce something like

This reverts commit 9f15226e75. It's just
wrong, and broke resume for Rafael even on a non-AMD CPU.
As Rafael says:
"... it causes microcode_init_cpu() to be called during resume even for
CPUs for which there's no microcode to apply. That, in turn, results
in executing request_firmware() (on Intel CPUs at least) which doesn't
work at this stage of resume (we have device interrupts disabled, I/O
devices are still suspended and so on).
If I'm not mistaken, the "if (uci->valid)" logic means "if that CPU is
known to us" , so before commit 9f15226e75 microcode_resume_cpu() was
called for all CPUs already in the system during suspend, which was
the right thing to do. The commit changed it so that the CPUs without
microcode to apply are now treated as "unknown", which is not quite
right.
The problem this commit attempted to solve has to be handled
differently."

Presently acpi-cpufreq will perform the MSR read on the first CPU in the
mask. That's inefficient if that CPU differs from the current CPU.
Because we have to perform a cross-CPU call, but we could have run the
rdmsr on the current CPU.
So switch to using the new smp_call_function_any(), which will perform the
call on the current CPU if that CPU is present in the mask (it is).

set_desc_affinity() is already checking if the incoming cpu mask
intersects with the cpu online mask or not. So there is no need
for the apic op cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() to check again
and return BAD_APICID.
Remove the BAD_APICID return value from cpu_mask_to_apicid_and()
and also fix set_desc_affinity() to return -1 instead of using BAD_APICID
to represent error conditions (as cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() can return
logical or physical apicid values and BAD_APICID is really to represent
bad physical apic id).

* 'cpumask-cleanups' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-for-linus:
cpumask: rename tsk_cpumask to tsk_cpus_allowed
cpumask: don't recommend set_cpus_allowed hack in Documentation/cpu-hotplug.txt
cpumask: avoid dereferencing struct cpumask
cpumask: convert drivers/idle/i7300_idle.c to cpumask_var_t
cpumask: use modern cpumask style in drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe.c
cpumask: avoid deprecated function in mm/slab.c
cpumask: use cpu_online in kernel/perf_event.c
Commit 83ce4009 did the following change
If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable.
But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across
sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync
test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later.
So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems.
Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in
mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails.
This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems
where TSC is reliable.

The loop condition is fragile: we compare an unsigned value to zero, and
then decrement it by something larger than one in the loop. All the
callers should be passing in appropriately aligned buffer lengths, but
it's better to just not rely on it, and have some appropriate defensive
loop limits.

It's just wasteful for stacktrace users like perf to walk
through every entries on the stack whereas these only accept
reliable ones, ie: that the frame pointer validates.
Since perf requires pure reliable stacktraces, it needs a stack
walker based on frame pointers-only to optimize the stacktrace
processing.
This might solve some near-lockup scenarios that can be triggered
by call-graph tracing timer events.

[ v2: fix for modular builds and small detail tidyup ]

The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack
walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through
all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable,
which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example.
But we have users like perf that only require reliable
stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so
lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users
can tune for their needs.
