cpuidle: ACPI/intel: fix MWAIT hint target C-state computation

According to x86 spec ([1] and [2]), MWAIT hint_address[7:4] plus 1 is
the corresponding C-state, and 0xF means C0.

ACPI C-state table usually only contains C1+, but nothing prevents ACPI
firmware from presenting a C-state (maybe C1+) but using MWAIT address C0
(i.e., 0xF in ACPI FFH MWAIT hint address). And if this is the case, Linux
erroneously treat this cstate as C16, while actually this should be valid
C0 instead of C16, as per the specifications.

Since ACPI firmware is out of Linux kernel scope, fix the kernel handling
of 0xF ->(to) C0 in this situation. This is found when a tweaked ACPI
C-state table is presented by Qemu to VM.

Also modify the intel_idle case for code consistency.

[1]. Intel SDM Vol 2, Table 4-11. MWAIT Hints
Register (EAX): "Value of 0 means C1; 1 means C2 and so on
Value of 01111B means C0".

[2]. AMD manual Vol 3, MWAIT: "The processor C-state is EAX[7:4]+1, so to
request C0 is to place the value F in EAX[7:4] and to request C1 is to
place the value 0 in EAX[7:4].".

Similar to commit 0266d81e9bf5 ("acpi/processor: Prevent cpu hotplug

"The problem is that the work is scheduled on the current CPU from the
hotplug thread associated with that CPU.

It's not required to invoke these functions via the workqueue because
the hotplug thread runs on the target CPU already.

Check whether current is a per cpu thread pinned on the target CPU and
invoke the function directly to avoid the workqueue."

x86/ACPI/cstate: Allow ACPI C1 FFH MWAIT use on AMD systems

AMD systems support the Monitor/Mwait instructions and these can be used
for ACPI C1 in the same way as on Intel systems.

Three things are needed:
1) This patch.
2) BIOS that declares a C1 state in _CST to use FFH, with correct values.
3) CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX is non-zero on the system.

The BIOS on AMD systems have historically not defined a C1 state in _CST,
so the acpi_idle driver uses HALT for ACPI C1.

Currently released systems have CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX as reserved/RAZ. If a
BIOS is released for these systems that requests a C1 state with FFH, the
FFH implementation in Linux will fail since CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX is 0. The
acpi_idle driver will then fallback to using HALT for ACPI C1.

Future systems are expected to have non-zero CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX and BIOS
support for using FFH for ACPI C1.

Allow ffh_cstate_init() to succeed on AMD systems.

Tested on Fam15h and Fam17h systems.

nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

x86/kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed. Build testing
revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.

Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is
the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things
like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

ACPI idle: permit sparse C-state sub-state numbers

Linux uses CPUID.MWAIT.EDX to validate the C-states
reported by ACPI, silently discarding states which
are not supported by the HW.

This test is too restrictive, as some HW now uses
sparse sub-state numbering, so the sub-state number
may be higher than the number of sub-states...

Also, rather than silently ignoring an invalid state,
we should complain about a firmware bug.

In practice...

Bay Trail systems originally supported C6-no-shrink as
MWAIT sub-state 0x58, and in CPUID.MWAIT.EDX 0x03000000
indicated that there were 3 MWAIT-C6 sub-states.
So acpi_idle would discard that C-state because 8 >= 3.

Upon discovering this issue, the ucode was updated so that
C6-no-shrink was also exported as 0x51, and the BIOS was
updated to match. However, systems shipped with 0x58,
will never get a BIOS update, and this patch allows
Linux to see C6-no-shrink on early Bay Trail.

ACPI: skip checking BM_STS if the BIOS doesn't ask for it

that tells the OS if we should be checking BM_STS or not.

Linux has been unconditionally checking BM_STS.
If the chip-set is configured to enable BM_STS,
it can retard or completely prevent entry into
deep C-states -- as illustrated by turbostat:

ACPI: Use the ARB_DISABLE for the CPU which model id is less than 0x0f.

Currently, ARB_DISABLE is a NOP on all of the recent Intel platforms.
For such platforms, reduce contention on c3_lock by skipping the fake
ARB_DISABLE.

The cpu model id on one laptop is 14. If we disable ARB_DISABLE on this box,
the box can't be booted correctly. But if we still enable ARB_DISABLE on this
box, the box can be booted correctly.

So we still use the ARB_DISABLE for the cpu which mode id is less than 0x0f.

Don't disable ARB_DISABLE when the familary ID is 0x0F.

Don't disable ARB_DISABLE when the familary ID is 0x0F.

This was a 2.6.31 regression, and so this patch
needs to be applied to 2.6.31.stable

ACPI: Avoid array address overflow when _CST MWAIT hint bits are set

The Cx Register address obtained from the _CST object is used as the MWAIT
hints if the register type is FFixedHW. And it is used

ACPI: Avoid array address overflow when _CST MWAIT hint bits are set

The Cx Register address obtained from the _CST object is used as the MWAIT
hints if the register type is FFixedHW. And it is used to check whether
the Cx type is supported or not.

On some boxes the following Cx state package is obtained from _CST object:
>{
ResourceTemplate ()
{
Register (FFixedHW,
0x01, // Bit Width
0x02, // Bit Offset
0x0000000000889759, // Address
0x03, // Access Size
)
},

0x03,
0xF5,
0x015E }

In such case we should use the bit[7:4] of Cx address to check whether
the Cx type is supported or not.

mask the MWAIT hint to avoid array address overflow

cpumask: use work_on_cpu in acpi/cstate.c

Impact: use new cpumask API to reduce stack usage

Replace the saving of current->cpus_allowed and set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with
a work_on_cpu function for the acpi_processor_ffh_cstate_probe() function.

Basically splits acpi_processor_ffh_cstate_probe() into two functions, the
other being acpi_processor_ffh_cstate_probe_cpu which is the work function
run on the designated cpu.
