cpuidle: New timer events oriented governor for tickless systems
The venerable menu governor does some things that are quite questionable in my view.
First, it includes timer wakeups in the pattern detection data and mixes them up with wakeups from other sources which in some cases causes it to expect what essentially would be a timer wakeup in a time frame in which no timer wakeups are possible (because it knows the time until the next timer event and that is later than the expected wakeup time).
Second, it uses the extra exit latency limit based on the predicted idle duration and depending on the number of tasks waiting on I/O, even though those tasks may run on a different CPU when they are woken up. Moreover, the time ranges used by it for the sleep length correction factors depend on whether or not there are tasks waiting on I/O, which again doesn't imply anything in particular, and they are not correlated to the list of available idle states in any way whatever.
Also, the pattern detection code in menu may end up considering values that are too large to matter at all, in which cases running it is a waste of time.
A major rework of the menu governor would be required to address these issues and the performance of at least some workloads (tuned specifically to the current behavior of the menu governor) is likely to suffer from that. It is thus better to introduce an entirely new governor without them and let everybody use the governor that works better with their actual workloads.
The new governor introduced here, the timer events oriented (TEO) governor, uses the same basic strategy as menu: it always tries to find the deepest idle state that can be used in the given conditions. However, it applies a different approach to that problem.
First, it doesn't use "correction factors" for the time till the closest timer, but instead it tries to correlate the measured idle duration values with the available idle states and use that information to pick up the idle state that is most likely to "match" the upcoming CPU idle interval.
Second, it doesn't take the number of "I/O waiters" into account at all and the pattern detection code in it avoids taking timer wakeups into account. It also only uses idle duration values less than the current time till the closest timer (with the tick excluded) for that purpose.

cpuidle: Retain old ACPI policy for !CONFIG_CPU_IDLE
Retain the old policy in processor_idle, so that when CPU_IDLE is not configured, old C-state policy will still be used. This provides a clean gradual migration path from old ACPI policy to new cpuidle based policy.

cpuidle: Configure governors by default
Quoting Len "Do not give an option to users to shoot themselves in the foot".

CPUIDLE: handle BM detection inside the ACPI Processor driver
Update the ACPI processor driver to detect BM activity and limit state entry depth internally, rather than exposing such requirements to CPUIDLE. As a result, CPUIDLE can drop this ACPI-specific interface and become more platform independent. BM activity is now handled much more aggressively than it was in the original implementation, so some testing coverage may be needed to verify that this doesn't introduce any DMA buffer under-run issues.

cpuidle: re-write
Some portions have been rewritten to make the code cleaner and lighter weight. The following is a list of changes:
1.) the state name is now included in the sysfs interface 2.) detection, hotplug, and available state modifications are handled by CPUIDLE drivers directly 3.) the CPUIDLE idle handler is only ever installed when at least one cpuidle_device is enabled and ready 4.) the menu governor BM code no longer overflows 5.) the sysfs attributes are now printed as unsigned integers, avoiding negative values 6.) a variety of other small cleanups
Also, Idle drivers are no longer swappable during runtime through the CPUIDLE sysfs inteface. On i386 and x86_64 most idle handlers (e.g. poll, mwait, halt, etc.) don't benefit from an infrastructure that supports multiple states, so I think using a more general case idle handler selection mechanism would be cleaner.

cpuidle: add the 'menu' governor
Here is my first take at implementing an idle PM governor that takes full advantage of NO_HZ. I call it the 'menu' governor because it considers the full list of idle states before each entry.
I've kept the implementation fairly simple. It attempts to guess the next residency time and then chooses a state that would meet at least the break-even point between power savings and entry cost. To this end, it selects the deepest idle state that satisfies the following constraints: 1. If the idle time elapsed since bus master activity was detected is below a threshold (currently 20 ms), then limit the selection to C2-type or above. 2. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds the expected time remaining until the next timer interrupt. 3. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds the elapsed time between the last pair of break events, excluding timer interrupts.
This governor has an advantage over "ladder" governor because it proactively checks how much time remains until the next timer interrupt using the tick infrastructure. Also, it handles device interrupt activity more intelligently by not including timer interrupts in break event calculations. Finally, it doesn't make policy decisions using the number of state entries, which can have variable residency times (NO_HZ makes these potentially very large), and instead only considers sleep time deltas.
The menu governor can be selected during runtime using the cpuidle sysfs interface like so: "echo "menu" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_governor"

cpuidle: export time until next timer interrupt using NO_HZ
Expose information about the time remaining until the next timer interrupt expires by utilizing the dynticks infrastructure. Also modify the main idle loop to allow dynticks to handle non-interrupt break events (e.g. DMA). Finally, expose sleep ticks information to external code. Thomas Gleixner is responsible for much of the code in this patch. However, I've made some additional changes, so I'm probably responsible if there are any bugs or oversights :)

cpuidle: hang fix
Prevent hang on x86-64, when ACPI processor driver is added as a module on a system that does not support C-states.
x86-64 expects all idle handlers to enable interrupts before returning from idle handler. This is due to enter_idle(), exit_idle() races. Make cpuidle_idle_call() confirm to this when there is no pm_idle_old.
Also, cpuidle look at the return values of attch_driver() and set current_driver to NULL if attach fails on all CPUs.

cpuidle take2: Hookup ACPI C-states driver with cpuidle
Hookup ACPI C-states onto generic cpuidle infrastructure.
drivers/acpi/procesor_idle.c is now a ACPI C-states driver that registers as a driver in cpuidle infrastructure and the policy part is removed from drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c. We use governor in cpuidle instead.

cpuidle take2: Core cpuidle infrastructure
Announcing 'cpuidle', a new CPU power management infrastructure to manage idle CPUs in a clean and efficient manner. cpuidle separates out the drivers that can provide support for multiple types of idle states and policy governors that decide on what idle state to use at run time. A cpuidle driver can support multiple idle states based on parameters like varying power consumption, wakeup latency, etc (ACPI C-states for example). A cpuidle governor can be usage model specific (laptop, server, laptop on battery etc). Main advantage of the infrastructure being, it allows independent development of drivers and governors and allows for better CPU power management.
A huge thanks to Adam Belay and Shaohua Li who were part of this mini-project since its beginning and are greatly responsible for this patchset.
This patch:
Core cpuidle infrastructure. Introduces a new abstraction layer for cpuidle: * which manages drivers that can support multiple idles states. Drivers can be generic or particular to specific hardware/platform * allows pluging in multiple policy governors that can take idle state policy decision * The core also has a set of sysfs interfaces with which administrato can know about supported drivers and governors and switch them at run time.
