"[CPUFREQ] cpumask: avoid playing with cpus_allowed in speedstep-ich.c"
changed the code to mistakenly pass the current cpu as the "processor"
argument of speedstep_get_frequency(), whereas it should be the type of
the processor.
Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14340
Based on a patch by Dave Mueller.

notification message
Removing the SMT/HT check, since the Errata doesn't mention
Hyper-Threading.
Adding in a printk, so that the user knows why acpi-cpufreq refuses to
load. Also, once system is blacklisted, don't repeat checks to see if
blacklisted. This also causes the message to only be printed once,
rather than for each CPU.

There is a typo in the longhaul detection code so only Longhaul v1 or Longhaul v3
is selected. The Longhaul v2 is not selected even for CPUs which are capable of.
Tested on PCChips Giga Pro board. Frequency changes work and the Longhaul v2
detects that the board is not capable of changing CPU voltage.

This patch converts the existing power tracer into an event tracer,
so that power events (C states and frequency changes) can be
tracked via "perf".
This also removes the perl script that was used to demo the tracer;
its functionality is being replaced entirely with timechart.

cpumask: avoid playing with cpus_allowed in powernow-k8.c
It's generally a very bad idea to mug some process's cpumask: it could
legitimately and reasonably be changed by root, which could break us
(if done before our code) or them (if we restore the wrong value).
I did not replace powernowk8_target; it needs fixing, but it grabs a
mutex (so no smp_call_function_single here) but Mark points out it can
be called multiple times per second, so work_on_cpu is too heavy.

By definition, "cpuinfo_cur_freq" should report the value from HW. So, don't

The e_powersaver driver for VIA's C7 CPU's needs to be marked as
DANGEROUS as it configures the CPU to power states that are out
of specification.
According to Centaur, all systems with C7 and Nano CPU's support
the ACPI p-state method. Thus, the acpi-cpufreq driver should
be used instead.

Slightly modified by trenn@suse.de -> only do this on fam 10h and fam 11h.
Currently powernow-k8 determines CPU frequency from ACPI PSS objects, but
according to AMD family 11h BKDG this frequency is just a rounded value:
"CoreFreq (MHz) = The CPU COF specified by MSRC001_00[6B:64][CpuFid]
rounded to the nearest 100 Mhz."
As a consequnce powernow-k8 reports wrong CPU frequency on some systems,
e.g. on Turion X2 Ultra:
powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Ultra DualCore Mobile ZM-82
processors (2 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
powernow-k8: 0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz)
powernow-k8: 1 : pstate 1 (1100 MHz)
powernow-k8: 2 : pstate 2 (600 MHz)
But this is wrong as frequency for Pstate2 is 550 MHz. x86info reports it
correctly:
#x86info -a |grep Pstate
...
Pstate-0: fid=e, did=0, vid=24 (2200MHz)
Pstate-1: fid=e, did=1, vid=30 (1100MHz)
Pstate-2: fid=e, did=2, vid=3c (550MHz) (current)
Solution is to determine the frequency directly from Pstate MSRs instead
of using rounded values from ACPI table.

Some atom procs don't do freq scaling (such as the atom 330 on my own
littlefalls2 board). By adding the atom family here, we at least get
the benefit of passive cooling in a thermal emergency. Not sure how

claim its functioning on my atom 330.

Take already available policy->cpuinfo.max_freq and get rid of acpi-cpufreq
specific max_freq variable.
This implies that P0 is always the highest frequency which should always
be true as ACPI spec says:
As a result, the zeroth entry describes the highest performance state

It turns out that 'smp_call_function_many()' doesn't work at all like
'smp_call_function_single()', and my change to Andrew's patch to use it
rather than a loop over all CPU's acpi-cpufreq doesn't work.
My bad.
'smp_call_function_many()' has two "features" (aka "documented bugs"):
(a) it needs to be called with preemption disabled, because it uses
smp_processor_id() without guarding the CPU lookup with 'get_cpu()'
and 'put_cpu()' like the 'single' variant does.
(b) even if the current CPU is part of the CPU mask, it won't do the
call on that CPU.
Still, we're better off trying to use 'smp_call_function_many()' than
looping over CPU's, since it at least in theory allows us to use a
broadcast IPI and do it all in parallel. So let's just work around the
silly semantic bugs in that function.

"OK, the acpi tree went and had conflicting changes merged into it after
I'd written the patch and it appears that I incorrectly reverted part
of 18b2646fe3babeb40b34a0c1751e0bf5adfdc64c while fixing the resulting
rejects.
Switching it to `readin' looks correct."

Atttempting to rid us of the problematic work_on_cpu(). Just use
smp_call_fuction_single() here.
This repairs a 10% sysbench(oltp)+mysql regression which Mike reported,

work_on_cpu(): rewrite it to create a kernel thread on demand
It seems that the kernel calls these acpi-cpufreq functions at a quite
high frequency.
Valdis Kletnieks also reports that this causes 70-90 forks per second on
his hardware.

Do not write zeroes to APERF and MPERF by ondemand governor. With this
change, other users can share these MSRs for reads.

Some BIOSes report very high frequency transition latency which are plainly
wrong on CPus that can change frequency using native MSR interface.
One such system is IBM T42 (2327-8ZU) as reported by Owen Taylor and
Rik van Riel.
cpufreq_ondemand driver uses this transition latency to come up with a
reasonable sampling interval to sample CPU usage and with such high
latency value, ondemand sampling interval ends up being very high
(0.5 sec, in this particular case), resulting in performance impact due to
slow response to increasing frequency.
Fix it by capping-off the transition latency to 20uS for native MSR based
frequency transitions.
mjg: We've confirmed that this also helps on the X31
