Power management and ACPI updates for v4.5-rc1
- Add a debugfs-based interface for interacting with the ACPICA's
AML debugger introduced in the previous cycle and a new user
space tool for that, fix some bugs related to the AML debugger
and clean up the code in question (Lv Zheng, Dan Carpenter,
Colin Ian King, Markus Elfring).
- Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20151218 including a number
of fixes and cleanups in the ACPICA core (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng,
Labbe Corentin, Prarit Bhargava, Colin Ian King, David E Box,
Rafael Wysocki).
In particular, the previously added erroneous support for the
_SUB object is dropped, the concatenate operator will support
all ACPI objects now, the Debug Object handling is improved,
the SuperName handling of parameters being control methods is
fixed, the ObjectType operator handling is updated to follow
ACPI 5.0A and the handling of CondRefOf and RefOf is updated
accordingly, module-level code will be executed after loading
each ACPI table now (instead of being run once after all tables
containing AML have been loaded), the Operation Region handlers
management is updated to fix some reported problems and a the
ACPICA code in the kernel is more in line with the upstream
now.
- Update the ACPI backlight driver to provide information on
whether or not it will generate key-presses for brightness
change hotkeys and update some platform drivers (dell-wmi,
thinkpad_acpi) to use that information to avoid sending double
key-events to users pace for these, add new ACPI backlight
quirks (Hans de Goede, Aaron Lu, Adrien Schildknecht).
- Improve the ACPI handling of interrupt GPIOs (Christophe Ricard).
- Fix the handling of the list of device IDs of device objects
found in the ACPI namespace and add a helper for checking if
there is a device object for a given device ID (Lukas Wunner).
- Change the logic in the ACPI namespace scanning code to create
struct acpi_device objects for all ACPI device objects found in
the namespace even if _STA fails for them which helps to avoid
device enumeration problems on Microsoft Surface 3 (Aaron Lu).
- Add support for the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device to the ACPI
driver for AMD SoCs (Loc Ho).
- Fix the long-standing issue with the DMA controller on Intel
SoCs where ACPI tables have no power management support for
the DMA controller itself, but it can be powered off automatically
when the last (other) device on the SoC is powered off via ACPI
and clean up the ACPI driver for Intel SoCs (acpi-lpss) after
previous attempts to fix that problem (Andy Shevchenko).
- Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Andy Lutomirski, Colin Ian King,
Javier Martinez Canillas, Ken Xue, Mathias Krause, Rafael Wysocki,
Sinan Kaya).
- Update the device properties framework for better handling of
built-in properties, add support for built-in properties to
the platform bus type, update the MFD subsystem's handling
of device properties and add support for passing default
configuration data as device properties to the intel-lpss MFD
drivers, convert the designware I2C driver to use the unified
device properties API and add a fallback mechanism for using
default built-in properties if the platform firmware fails
to provide the properties as expected by drivers (Andy Shevchenko,
Mika Westerberg, Heikki Krogerus, Andrew Morton).
- Add new Device Tree bindings to the Operating Performance Points
(OPP) framework and update the exynos4412 DT binding accordingly,
introduce debugfs support for the OPP framework (Viresh Kumar,
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz).
- Migrate the mt8173 cpufreq driver to the new OPP bindings
(Pi-Cheng Chen).
- Update the cpufreq core to make the handling of governors
more efficient, especially on systems where policy objects
are shared between multiple CPUs (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix cpufreq governor handling on configurations with
CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC set (Chen Yu).
- Clean up the cpufreq core code related to the boost sysfs knob
support and update the ACPI cpufreq driver accordingly (Rafael
Wysocki).
- Add a new cpufreq driver for ST platforms and corresponding
Device Tree bindings (Lee Jones).
- Update the intel_pstate driver to allow the P-state selection
algorithm used by it to depend on the CPU ID of the processor it
is running on, make it use a special P-state selection algorithm
(with an IO wait time compensation tweak) on Atom CPUs based on
the Airmont and Silvermont cores so as to reduce their energy
consumption and improve intel_pstate documentation (Philippe
Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Update the cpufreq-dt driver to support registering cooling
devices that use the (P * V^2 * f) dynamic power draw formula
where V is the voltage, f is the frequency and P is a constant
coefficient provided by Device Tree and update the arm_big_little
cpufreq driver to use that support (Punit Agrawal).
- Assorted cpufreq driver (cpufreq-dt, qoriq, pcc-cpufreq,
blackfin-cpufreq) updates (Andrzej Hajda, Hongtao Jia,
Jacob Tanenbaum, Markus Elfring).
- cpuidle core tweaks related to polling and measured_us
calculation (Rik van Riel).
- Removal of modularity from a few cpuidle drivers (clps711x,
ux500, exynos) that cannot be built as modules in practice
(Paul Gortmaker).
- PM core update to prevent devices from being probed during
system suspend/resume which is generally problematic and may
lead to inconsistent behavior (Grygorii Strashko).
- Assorted updates of the PM core and related code (Julia Lawall,
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard, Maruthi Bayyavarapu, Rafael Wysocki,
Ulf Hansson).
- PNP bus type updates (Christophe Le Roy, Heiner Kallweit).
- PCI PM code cleanups (Jarkko Nikula, Julia Lawall).
- cpupower tool updates (Jacob Tanenbaum, Thomas Renninger).
