The special value of 0 for device resume latency PM QoS means
"no restriction", but there are two problems with that.
First, device resume latency PM QoS requests with 0 as the
value are always put in front of requests with positive
values in the priority lists used internally by the PM QoS
framework, causing 0 to be chosen as an effective constraint
value. However, that 0 is then interpreted as "no restriction"
effectively overriding the other requests with specific
restrictions which is incorrect.
Second, the users of device resume latency PM QoS have no
way to specify that *any* resume latency at all should be
avoided, which is an artificial limitation in general.
To address these issues, modify device resume latency PM QoS to
use S32_MAX as the "no constraint" value and 0 as the "no
latency at all" one and rework its users (the cpuidle menu
governor, the genpd QoS governor and the runtime PM framework)
to follow these changes.
Also add a special "n/a" value to the corresponding user space I/F
to allow user space to indicate that it cannot accept any resume
latencies at all for the given device.

On some architectures the first (index 0) idle state is a polling
one and it doesn't really save energy, so there is the
CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol allowing some pieces of
cpuidle code to avoid using that state.
However, this makes the code rather hard to follow. It is better
to explicitly avoid the polling state, so add a new cpuidle state
flag CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING to mark it and make the relevant code
check that flag for the first state instead of using the
CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol.
In the ACPI processor driver that cannot always rely on the state
flags (like before the states table has been set up) define
a new internal symbol ACPI_IDLE_STATE_START equivalent to the
CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START one and drop the latter.

The menu driver does not allow state0 to be disabled completely.
If it is disabled but other enabled states don't meet latency
requirements, it is still used.
Fix this by starting with the first enabled idle state. Fall back
to state 0 if no idle states are enabled (arguably this should be
-EINVAL if it is attempted, but this is the minimal fix).

Pull sched.h split-up from Ingo Molnar:
"The point of these changes is to significantly reduce the
<linux/sched.h> header footprint, to speed up the kernel build and to
have a cleaner header structure.
After these changes the new <linux/sched.h>'s typical preprocessed
size goes down from a previous ~0.68 MB (~22K lines) to ~0.45 MB (~15K
lines), which is around 40% faster to build on typical configs.
Not much changed from the last version (-v2) posted three weeks ago: I
eliminated quirks, backmerged fixes plus I rebased it to an upstream
SHA1 from yesterday that includes most changes queued up in -next plus
all sched.h changes that were pending from Andrew.
I've re-tested the series both on x86 and on cross-arch defconfigs,
and did a bisectability test at a number of random points.
I tried to test as many build configurations as possible, but some
build breakage is probably still left - but it should be mostly
limited to architectures that have no cross-compiler binaries
available on kernel.org, and non-default configurations"

After commit 9908859aca (cpuidle/menu: add per CPU PM QoS resume
latency consideration) the cpuidle menu governor calls
dev_pm_qos_read_value() on CPU devices to read the current resume
latency QoS constraint values for them. That function takes a spinlock
to prevent the device's power.qos pointer from becoming NULL during
the access which is a problem for the RT patchset where spinlocks are
converted into mutexes and the idle loop stops working.
However, it is not even necessary for the menu governor to take
that spinlock, because the power.qos pointer accessed under it
cannot be modified during the access anyway.
For this reason, introduce a "raw" routine for accessing device
QoS resume latency constraints without locking and use it in the
menu governor.

There may be special requirements on CPU response time, like if a
interrupt is pinned to a CPU, that CPU should not go into excessively
deep idle states. For this reason, add a mechanism for adding
PM QoS resume latency constraints for individual CPUs and modify the
menu governor to take them into account.
To that end, extend the device PM QoS pm_qos_resume_latency attribute
to CPUs, which is possible, because the exit latency for CPUs is
effectively equivalent to the resume latency for devices.

Commit a9ceb78bc7 (cpuidle,menu: use interactivity_req to disable
polling) changed the behavior of the fallback state selection part
of menu_select() so it looks at interactivity_req instead of
data->next_timer_us when it makes its decision. That effectively
caused polling to be used more often as fallback idle which led to
significant increases of energy consumption in some cases.
Commit e132b9b3bc (cpuidle: menu: use high confidence factors
only when considering polling) changed that logic again to be more
predictable, but that didn't help with the increased energy
consumption problem.
For this reason, go back to making decisions on which state to fall
back to based on data->next_timer_us which is the time we know for
sure something will happen rather than a prediction (which may be
inaccurate and turns out to be so often enough to be problematic).
However, take the target residency of the first proper idle state
(C1) into account, so that state is not used as the fallback one
if its target residency is greater than data->next_timer_us.

The menu governor uses five different factors to pick the
idle state:
- the user configured latency_req
- the time until the next timer (next_timer_us)
- the typical sleep interval, as measured recently
- an estimate of sleep time by dividing next_timer_us by an observed factor
- a load corrected version of the above, divided again by load
Only the first three items are known with enough confidence that
we can use them to consider polling, instead of an actual CPU
idle state, because the cost of being wrong about polling can be
excessive power use.
The latter two are used in the menu governor's main selection
loop, and can result in choosing a shallower idle state when
the system is expected to be busy again soon.
This pushes a busy system in the "performance" direction of
the performance<>power tradeoff, when choosing between idle
states, but stays more strictly on the "power" state when
deciding between polling and C1.

Computing the integer square root is a rather expensive operation, at
least compared to doing a 64x64 -> 64 multiply (avg*avg) and, on 64
bit platforms, doing an extra comparison to a constant (variance <=
U64_MAX/36).
On 64 bit platforms, this does mean that we add a restriction on the
range of the variance where we end up using the estimate (since
previously the stddev <= ULONG_MAX was a tautology), but on the other
hand, we extend the range quite substantially on 32 bit platforms - in
both cases, we now allow standard deviations up to 715 seconds, which
is for example guaranteed if all observations are less than 1430
seconds.

If menu_select() cannot find a suitable state to return, it will
return the state index stored in data->last_state_idx. This

so don't do that.

Commit a9ceb78bc7 (cpuidle,menu: use interactivity_req to disable

on systems with CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START equal to zero, although
it should have returned 0. As a result, idle states are not entered
by CPUs on those systems.
Namely, on the systems in question data->last_state_idx is initially
equal to -1 and the above commit modified the condition that would
have caused it to be changed to 0 to be less likely to trigger which
exposed the problem. However, setting data->last_state_idx initially
to -1 doesn't make sense at all and on the affected systems it should
always be set to CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START (ie. 0) unconditionally,
so make that happen.

The cpuidle state tables contain the maximum exit latency for each
cpuidle state. On x86, that is the exit latency for when the entire
package goes into that same idle state.
However, a lot of the time we only go into the core idle state,
not the package idle state. This means we see a much smaller exit
latency.
We have no way to detect whether we went into the core or package
idle state while idle, and that is ok.
However, the current menu_update logic does have the potential to
trip up the repeating pattern detection in get_typical_interval.
If the system is experiencing an exit latency near the idle state's
exit latency, some of the samples will have exit_us subtracted,
while others will not. This turns a repeating pattern into mush,
potentially breaking get_typical_interval.
Furthermore, for smaller sleep intervals, we know the chance that
all the cores in the package went to the same idle state are fairly
small. Dividing the measured_us by two, instead of subtracting the
full exit latency when hitting a small measured_us, will reduce the
error.

The menu governor carefully figures out how much time we typically
sleep for an estimated sleep interval, or whether there is a repeating
pattern going on, and corrects that estimate for the CPU load.
Then it proceeds to ignore that information when determining whether
or not to consider polling. This is not a big deal on most x86 CPUs,
which have very low C1 latencies, and the patch should not have any
effect on those CPUs.
However, certain CPUs (eg. Atom) have much higher C1 latencies, and
it would be good to not waste performance and power on those CPUs if
we are expecting a very low wakeup latency.
Disable polling based on the estimated interactivity requirement, not
on the time to the next timer interrupt.

The cpuidle menu governor has a forced cut-off for polling at 5us,
in order to deal with firmware that gives the OS bad information
on cpuidle states, leading to the system spending way too much time
in polling.
However, at least one x86 CPU family (Atom) has chips that have
a 20us break-even point for C1. Forcing the polling cut-off to
less than that wastes performance and power.
Increase the polling cut-off to 20us.
Systems with a lower C1 latency will be found in the states table by

When menu sees CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID, it ignores its timestamps,
and assumes that idle lasted as long as the time till next predicted
timer expiration.
But if an interrupt was seen and serviced before that duration,
it would actually be more accurate to use the measured time
rather than rounding up to the next predicted timer expiration.
And if an interrupt is seen and serviced such that the mesured time
exceeds the time till next predicted timer expiration, then
truncating to that expiration is the right thing to do --
since we can never stay idle past that timer expiration.
So the code can do a better job without
checking for CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID.

In menu_select function we check for correction factor every time.
If it is zero we are initializing to unity. Hence move it to init function
and initialise by unity, hence avoid repeated comparisons.

If there is a PM QoS latency limit and all of the sufficiently shallow
C-states are disabled, the cpuidle menu governor returns 0 which on
some systems is CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START and shouldn't be returned
if that C-state has been disabled.
Fix the issue by modifying the menu governor to return (-1) in such
situations.

The menu governor performance multiplier defines a minimum predicted
idle duration to latency ratio. Instead of checking this separately
in every iteration of the state selection loop, adjust the overall
latency restriction for the whole loop if this restriction is tighter
than what is set by the QoS subsystem.
The original test
s->exit_latency * multiplier > data->predicted_us
becomes
s->exit_latency > data->predicted_us / multiplier
by dividing both sides of the comparison by "multiplier".
While division is likely to be several times slower than multiplication,
the minor performance hit allows making a generic sleep state selection
function based on (sleep duration, maximum latency) tuple.

The menu governor statistics update function tries to determine the
amount of time between entry to low power state and the occurrence
of the wakeup event. However, the time measured by the framework
includes exit latency on top of the desired value. This exit latency
is substracted from the measured value to obtain the desired value.
When measured value is not available, the menu governor assumes
the wakeup was caused by the timer and the time is equal to remaining
timer length. No exit latency should be substracted from this value.
This patch prevents the erroneous substraction and clarifies the
associated comment. It also removes one intermediate variable that
serves no purpose.

The menu governor uses coefficients as one method of actual idle
period length estimation. The coefficients are, as detailed below,
multipliers giving expected idle period length from time until next
timer expiry. The multipliers are supposed to have domain of (0..1].
The coefficients are fractions where only the numerators are stored
and denominators are a shared constant RESOLUTION*DECAY. Since the
value of the coefficient should always be greater than 0 and less
than or equal to 1, the numerator must have a value greater than
0 and less than or equal to RESOLUTION*DECAY.
If the coefficients are updated with measured idle durations exceeding
timer length, the multiplier may reach values exceeding unity (i.e.
the stored numerator exceeds RESOLUTION*DECAY). This patch ensures that
the multipliers are updated with durations capped to timer length.

Currently menu governor records the exit latency of the state it has
chosen for the idle period. The stored latency value is then later
used to calculate the actual length of the idle period. This value
may however be incorrect, as the entered state may not be the one
chosen by the governor. The entered state information is available,
so we can use that to obtain the real exit latency.

The field expected_us is used to store the time remaining until next
timer expiry. The name is inaccurate, as we really do not expect all
wakeups to be caused by timers. In addition, another field with a very
similar name (predicted_us) is used to store the predicted time
remaining until any wakeup source being active.
This patch renames expected_us to next_timer_us in order to better
reflect the contained information.

Field predicted_us value can never exceed expected_us value, but it has
a potentially larger type. As there is no need for additional 32 bits of
zeroes on 32 bit plaforms, change the type of predicted_us to match the
type of expected_us.
Field correction_factor is used to store a value that cannot exceed the
product of RESOLUTION and DECAY (default 1024*8 = 8192). The constants
cannot in practice be incremented to such values, that they'd overflow
unsigned int even on 32 bit systems, so the type is changed to avoid
unnecessary 64 bit arithmetic on 32 bit systems.
One multiplication of (now) 32 bit values needs an added cast to avoid
truncation of the result and has been added.
In order to avoid another multiplication from 32 bit domain to 64 bit
domain, the new correction_factor calculation has been changed from
new = old * (DECAY-1) / DECAY
to
new = old - old / DECAY,
which with infinite precision would yeild exactly the same result, but
now changes the direction of rounding. The impact is not significant as
the maximum accumulated difference cannot exceed the value of DECAY,
which is relatively small compared to product of RESOLUTION and DECAY
(8 / 8192).

The menu governor has a number of tunable constants that may be changed
in the source. If certain combination of values are chosen, an overflow
is possible when the correction_factor is being recalculated.
This patch adds a warning regarding this possibility and describes the
change needed for fixing the issue. The change should not be permanently
enabled, as it will hurt performance when it is not needed.

The menu governor uses a static function get_typical_interval() to
try to detect a repeating pattern of wakeups. The previous interval
durations are stored as an array of unsigned ints, but the arithmetic
in the function is performed exclusively as 64 bit values, even when
the value stored in a variable is known not to exceed unsigned int,
which may be smaller and more efficient on some platforms.
This patch changes the types of varibles used to store some
intermediates, the maximum and and the cutoff threshold to unsigned
ints. Average and standard deviation are still treated as 64 bit values,
even when the values are known to be within the domain of unsigned int,
to avoid casts to ensure correct integer promotion for arithmetic
operations.

get_typical_interval() uses int_sqrt() in calculation of standard
deviation. The formal parameter of int_sqrt() is unsigned long, which
may on some platforms be smaller than the 64 bit unsigned integer used
as the actual parameter. The overflow can occur frequently when actual
idle period lengths are in hundreds of milliseconds.
This patch adds a check for such overflow and rejects the candidate
average when an overflow would occur.
