"cpufreq" directory in policy->cpu is never created using
sysfs_create_link(), but using kobject_init_and_add(). And so we
shouldn't call sysfs_remove_link() for policy->cpu(). sysfs stuff
for policy->cpu is automatically removed when we call kobject_put()
for dying policy.

Currently, whenever governor->governor() is called for CPUFRREQ_GOV_START event
we reset few tunables of governor. Which isn't correct, as this routine is
called for every cpu hot-[un]plugging event. We should actually be resetting
these only when the governor module is removed and re-installed.

As multiplatform build is being adopted by more and more ARM platforms,
initcall function should be used very carefully. For example, when
GENERIC_CPUFREQ_CPU0 is built in the kernel, cpu0_cpufreq_driver_init()
will be called on all the platforms to initialize cpufreq-cpu0 driver.
To eliminate this undesired the effect, the patch changes cpufreq-cpu0
driver to have it instantiated as a platform_driver. Then it will only
run on platforms that create the platform_device "cpufreq-cpu0".
Along with the change, it also changes cpu_dev to be &pdev->dev,
so that managed functions can start working, and module build gets
supported too.
The highbank-cpufreq driver is also updated accordingly to adapt the
changes on cpufreq-cpu0.

Currently cpufreq_add_dev() firsts allocates policy, calls
driver->init() and then checks if this CPU is already managed or not.
And if it is already managed, its policy is freed.
We can save all this if we somehow know that CPU is managed or not in
advance. policy->related_cpus contains the list of all valid sibling
CPUs of policy->cpu. We can check this to see if the current CPU is
already managed.
From now on, platforms don't really need to set related_cpus from
their init() routines, as the same work is done by core too.
If a platform driver needs to set the related_cpus mask with some
additional CPUs, other than CPUs present in policy->cpus, they are
free to do it, though, as we don't override anything.

de3ed81d746d ("[CPUFREQ] Change link order of x86 cpufreq modules")
changed cpufreq drivers link order so that powernow-k8 gets loaded first
due to earlier K8s having BIOS bugs.
However, now that acpi-cpufreq supports both AMD and Intel CPUs with HW
P-states, we want to load it first, so that cases where acpi-cpufreq and
powernow-k8 are both built-in and powernow-k8 initializing first, can be
addressed.
So, make sure that even if acpi-cpufreq gets loaded first, it errors out
on K8s and powernow-k8 can be loaded then successfully.

__cpufreq_remove_dev() is called on multiple occasions: cpufreq_driver
unregister and cpu removals.
Current implementation of this routine is overly complex without much need. If
the cpu to be removed is the policy->cpu, we remove the policy first and add all
other cpus again from policy->cpus and then finally call __cpufreq_remove_dev()
again to remove the cpu to be deleted. Haahhhh..
There exist a simple solution to removal of a cpu:
- Simply use the old policy structure
- update its fields like: policy->cpu, etc.
- notify any users of cpufreq, which depend on changing policy->cpu
Hence this patch, which tries to implement the above theory. It is tested well
by myself on ARM big.LITTLE TC2 SoC, which has 5 cores (2 A15 and 3 A7). Both
A15's share same struct policy and all A7's share same policy structure.

This is how the core works:
cpufreq_driver_unregister()
- subsys_interface_unregister()
- for_each_cpu() call cpufreq_remove_dev(), i.e. 0,1,2,3,4 when we
unregister.
cpufreq_remove_dev():
- Remove policy node
- Call cpufreq_add_dev() for next cpu, sharing mask with removed cpu.
i.e. When cpu 0 is removed, we call it for cpu 1. And when called for cpu 2,
we call it for cpu 3.
- cpufreq_add_dev() would call cpufreq_driver->init()
- init would return mask as AND of 2, 3 and 4 for cluster A7.
- cpufreq core would do online_cpu && policy->cpus
Here is the BUG(). Because cpu hasn't died but we have just unregistered
the cpufreq driver, online cpu would still have cpu 2 in it. And so thing
go bad again.
Solution: Keep cpumask of cpus that are registered with cpufreq core and clear
cpus when we get a call from subsys_interface_unregister() via
cpufreq_remove_dev().

cpufreq core doesn't manage offline cpus and if driver->init() has returned
mask including offline cpus, it may result in unwanted behavior by cpufreq core
or governors.
We need to get only online cpus in this mask. There are two places to fix this
mask, cpufreq core and cpufreq driver. It makes sense to do this at common place
and hence is done in core.

This patch fixes a bug that occurred when we had load on a secondary CPU
and the primary CPU was sleeping. Only one sampling timer was spawned
and it was spawned as a deferred timer on the primary CPU, so when a
secondary CPU had a change in load this was not detected by the cpufreq
governor (both ondemand and conservative).
This patch make sure that deferred timers are run on all CPUs in the
case of software controlled CPUs that run on the same frequency.

thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool
which can lead to incorrect limits being set. The fix here simply
deletes the thin_io_hints() hook which leaves the existing stacking
infrastructure to set the limits correctly.
When a thin-pool uses an MD device for the data device a thin device
from the thin-pool must respect MD's constraints about disallowing a bio
from spanning multiple chunks. Otherwise we can see problems. If the raid0
chunksize is 1152K and thin-pool chunksize is 256K I see the following
md/raid0 error (with extra debug tracing added to thin_endio) when
mkfs.xfs is executed against the thin device:
md/raid0:md99: make_request bug: can't convert block across chunks or bigger than 1152k 6688 127
device-mapper: thin: bio sector=2080 err=-5 bi_size=130560 bi_rw=17 bi_vcnt=32 bi_idx=0
This extra DM debugging shows that the failing bio is spanning across
the first and second logical 1152K chunk (sector 2080 + 255 takes the
bio beyond the first chunk's boundary of sector 2304). So the bio
splitting that DM is doing clearly isn't respecting the MD limits.
max_hw_sectors_kb is 127 for both the thin-pool and thin device
(queue_max_hw_sectors returns 255 so we'll excuse sysfs's lack of
precision). So this explains why bi_size is 130560.
But the thin device's max_hw_sectors_kb should be 4 (PAGE_SIZE) given
that it doesn't have a .merge function (for bio_add_page to consult
indirectly via dm_merge_bvec) yet the thin-pool does sit above an MD
device that has a compulsory merge_bvec_fn. This scenario is exactly
why DM must resort to sending single PAGE_SIZE bios to the underlying
layer. Some additional context for this is available in the header for
commit 8cbeb67a ("dm: avoid unsupported spanning of md stripe boundaries").
Long story short, the reason a thin device doesn't properly get
configured to have a max_hw_sectors_kb of 4 (PAGE_SIZE) is that
thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool
device directly to the thin device's queue limits.
Fix this by eliminating thin_io_hints. Doing so is safe because the
block layer's queue limits stacking already enables the upper level thin
device to inherit the thin-pool device's discard and minimum_io_size and
optimal_io_size limits that get set in pool_io_hints. But avoiding the
queue limits copy allows the thin and thin-pool limits to be different
where it is important, namely max_hw_sectors_kb.

So disable it if booting from EFI since this driver relies on

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from
EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now
indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with
bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.
The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557
which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is
designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become
bricked. Also, the following report,
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121
details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check
Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're
running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression,
if (!efi_enabled)
hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time.
Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons -
what they really want access to is the list of available EFI
facilities.
For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke
the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while
the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were
mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform
driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which
would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things).
This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

be for v3.9. Get this old cruft out before anyone hurts himself on
it.
- Kconfig buzz
- Various compile warnings

nmk_prcm_gpiocr_get_mode is only needed for debugfs output at
the moment, which can be compile-time disabled. Marking
the function __maybe_unused still gives us compile-time
coverage, but avoids a gcc warning.
Without this patch, building nhk8815_defconfig results in:
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-nomadik.c:676:12: warning: 'nmk_prcm_gpiocr_get_mode' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

Functions called from a driver probe() method must not be
marked __init, because they may get called after the
init phase is done, when the device shows up late, or
because of deferred probing.
Without this patch, building exynos_defconfig results in
multiple warnings like:
WARNING: drivers/pinctrl/built-in.o(.text+0x51bc): Section mismatch in reference from the function exynos5440_pinctrl_probe() to the function .init.text:exynos5440_gpiolib_register()
The function exynos5440_pinctrl_probe() references
the function __init exynos5440_gpiolib_register().
This is often because exynos5440_pinctrl_probe lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of exynos5440_gpiolib_register is wrong.
