<content type='text'>
The cpufreq policy notifier in the ACPI processor driver may as
well be registered before the driver itself, which causes
acpi_processor_cpufreq_init to be true (unless the notifier
registration fails, which is unlikely at that point) when the
ACPI CPU thermal cooling devices are registered, so the
processor_get_max_state() result does not change while
acpi_processor_driver_init() is running.

Change the ordering in acpi_processor_driver_init() accordingly
to prevent the max_state value from remaining 0 permanently for all
ACPI CPU cooling devices due to setting acpi_processor_cpufreq_init
too late.  [Note that processor_get_max_state() may still return
different values at different times after this change, depending on
the cpufreq driver registration time, but that issue needs to be
addressed separately.]

<title>ACPI: processor: Split out thermal initialization from ACPI PSS</title>

Commit 239708a3af44 ("ACPI: Split out ACPI PSS from ACPI Processor
driver"), moves processor thermal registration to acpi_pss_perf_init(),
which doesn't get executed if ACPI_CPU_FREQ_PSS is not enabled.

As ARM64 supports P-states using CPPC, it should be possible to also
support processor passive cooling even if PSS is not enabled. Split
out the processor thermal cooling register from ACPI PSS to support
this, and move it into a separate function in processor_thermal.c.

<title>ACPI: processor: Get rid of ACPICA message printing</title>

The ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() and ACPI_EXCEPTION() macros are used for
message printing in the ACPICA code and they should not be used
elsewhere.  Special configuration (either kernel command line or
sysfs-based) is needed to see the messages printed by them and
the format of those messages is also special and convoluted.

For this reason, replace all of the ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() and
ACPI_EXCEPTION() instances in the ACPI processor driver with
corresponding dev_*(), acpi_handle_*() and pr_*() calls depending
on the context in which they appear.

Also drop the ACPI_PROCESSOR_COMPONENT definition that is not going
to be necessary any more.

<title>cpufreq: Use per-policy frequency QoS</title>

<content type='text'>
Replace the CPU device PM QoS used for the management of min and max
frequency constraints in cpufreq (and its users) with per-policy
frequency QoS to avoid problems with cpufreq policies covering
more then one CPU.

Namely, a cpufreq driver is registered with the subsys interface
which calls cpufreq_add_dev() for each CPU, starting from CPU0, so
currently the PM QoS notifiers are added to the first CPU in the
policy (i.e. CPU0 in the majority of cases).

In turn, when the cpufreq driver is unregistered, the subsys interface
doing that calls cpufreq_remove_dev() for each CPU, starting from CPU0,
and the PM QoS notifiers are only removed when cpufreq_remove_dev() is
called for the last CPU in the policy, say CPUx, which as a rule is
not CPU0 if the policy covers more than one CPU.  Then, the PM QoS
notifiers cannot be removed, because CPUx does not have them, and
they are still there in the device PM QoS notifiers list of CPU0,
which prevents new PM QoS notifiers from being registered for CPU0
on the next attempt to register the cpufreq driver.

The same issue occurs when the first CPU in the policy goes offline
before unregistering the driver.

After this change it does not matter which CPU is the policy CPU at
the driver registration time and whether or not it is online all the
time, because the frequency QoS is per policy and not per CPU.

The cpufreq core now takes the min/max frequency constraints via QoS

Switch over to using the QoS request for maximum frequency constraint

_CPC is a optinal object for processor device so it's
fine for processor devices in DSDT without CPPC data,
but when booting the system with CPPC enabled in the
kernel but without its support in the firmware, I got
lots of warnings on a 64 core system:

[    6.346016] acpi ACPI0007:00: CPPC data invalid or not present
[    6.346028] acpi ACPI0007:01: CPPC data invalid or not present
[    6.346039] acpi ACPI0007:02: CPPC data invalid or not present

[    6.346063] acpi ACPI0007:04: CPPC data invalid or not present
...
[    6.346737] acpi ACPI0007:3f: CPPC data invalid or not present

This isn't much useful and a little bit noise, so
switch the dev_warn() to dev_dbg().

This isn't much useful and a little bit noise, so
switch the dev_warn() to dev_dbg().

<title>ACPI/processor: Use cpu_hotplug_disable() instead of get_online_cpus()</title>

Converting the hotplug locking, i.e. get_online_cpus(), to a percpu rwsem
unearthed a circular lock dependency which was hidden from lockdep due to
the lockdep annotation of get_online_cpus() which prevents lockdep from
creating full dependency chains.

CPU0                    CPU1
----                    ----
lock((&amp;wfc.work));
                         lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
                         lock((&amp;wfc.work));
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);

This dependency is established via acpi_processor_start() which calls into
the work queue code. And the work queue code establishes the reverse
dependency.

This is not a problem of get_online_cpus() recursion, it's a possible
deadlock undetected by lockdep so far.

The cure is to use cpu_hotplug_disable() instead of get_online_cpus() to
protect the probing from acpi_processor_start().

There is a side effect to this: cpu_hotplug_disable() makes a concurrent
cpu hotplug attempt via the sysfs interfaces fail with -EBUSY, but that
probing usually happens during the boot process where no interaction is
possible. Any later invocations are infrequent enough and concurrent
hotplug attempts are so unlikely that the danger of user space visible
regressions is very close to zero. Anyway, thats preferrable over a real
deadlock.

<title>ACPI/processor: Replace racy task affinity logic</title>

acpi_processor_get_throttling() requires to invoke the getter function on
the target CPU. This is achieved by temporarily setting the affinity of the
calling user space thread to the requested CPU and reset it to the original
affinity afterwards.

That's racy vs. CPU hotplug and concurrent affinity settings for that
thread resulting in code executing on the wrong CPU and overwriting the
new affinity setting.

acpi_processor_get_throttling() is invoked in two ways:

1) The CPU online callback, which is already running on the target CPU and
   obviously protected against hotplug and not affected by affinity
   settings.

2) The ACPI driver probe function, which is not protected against hotplug
   during modprobe.

Switch it over to work_on_cpu() and protect the probe function against CPU
hotplug.
