In detail:
In C language, when you perform a multiplication operation, if
both operands are of int type, the multiplication operation is
performed on the int type, and then the result is converted to
the target type. This means that if the product of int type
multiplication exceeds the range that int type can represent,
an overflow will occur even if you store the result in a
variable of int64_t type.
For a multiplication of two int values, it is better to use
mul_u32_u32() rather than s->exit_latency_ns = s->exit_latency *
NSEC_PER_USEC to avoid potential overflow happenning.

It turns out that cpuidle_driver_state_disabled() can be called
before registering the cpufreq driver on some platforms, which
was not expected when it was introduced and which leads to a NULL
pointer dereference when trying to walk the CPUs associated with
the given cpuidle driver.
Fix the problem by making cpuidle_driver_state_disabled() check if
the driver's mask of CPUs associated with it is present and to set
CPUIDLE_FLAG_UNUSABLE for the given idle state in the driver's states
list if that is not the case to cause __cpuidle_register_device() to
set CPUIDLE_STATE_DISABLED_BY_DRIVER for that state for all cpuidle
devices registered by it later.

overlooked the fact that the imx6q and tegra20 cpuidle drivers use
the "disabled" field in struct cpuidle_state for quirks which trigger

In order to allow them to implement the quirks without using the

Currently, the cpuidle subsystem uses microseconds as the unit of
time which (among other things) causes the idle loop to incur some
integer division overhead for no clear benefit.
In order to allow cpuidle to measure time in nanoseconds, add two
new fields, exit_latency_ns and target_residency_ns, to represent the
exit latency and target residency of an idle state in nanoseconds,
respectively, to struct cpuidle_state and initialize them with the
help of the corresponding values in microseconds provided by drivers.
Additionally, change cpuidle_governor_latency_req() to return the
idle state exit latency constraint in nanoseconds.
Also meeasure idle state residency (last_residency_ns in struct
cpuidle_device and time_ns in struct cpuidle_driver) in nanoseconds
and update the cpuidle core and governors accordingly.
However, the menu governor still computes typical intervals in
microseconds to avoid integer overflows.

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.

Commit bf4d1b5 (cpuidle: support multiple drivers) introduced support
for using multiple cpuidle drivers at the same time. It added a
couple of new APIs to register the driver per CPU, but that led to
some unnecessary code complexity related to the kernel config options
deciding whether or not the multiple driver support is enabled. The
code has to work as it did before when the multiple driver support is
not enabled and the multiple driver support has to be compatible with
the previously existing API.
Remove the new API, not used by any driver in the tree yet (but
needed for the HMP cpuidle drivers that will be submitted soon), and
add a new cpumask pointer to the cpuidle driver structure that will
point to the mask of CPUs handled by the given driver. That will
allow the cpuidle_[un]register_driver() API to be used for the
multiple driver support along with the cpuidle_[un]register()
functions added recently.

We realized that the power usage field is never filled and when it
is filled for tegra, the power_specified flag is not set causing all
of these values to be reset when the driver is initialized with
set_power_state().
However, the power_specified flag can be simply removed under the
assumption that the states are always backward sorted, which is the
case with the current code.
This change allows the menu governor select function and the
cpuidle_play_dead() to be simplified. Moreover, the
set_power_states() function can removed as it does not make sense
any more.
Drop the power_specified flag from struct cpuidle_driver and make
the related changes as described above.
As a consequence, this also fixes the bug where on the dynamic
C-states system, the power fields are not initialized.

Commit bf4d1b5 (cpuidle: support multiple drivers) introduced
locking in cpuidle_get_cpu_driver(), which is used in the
idle_call() function.
This leads to a contention problem with a large number of CPUs,
because they all try to run the idle routine at the same time.
The lock can be safely removed because of how is used the cpuidle
API. Namely, cpuidle_register_driver() is called first, but the
cpuidle idle function is not entered before cpuidle_register_device()
is called, because the cpuidle device is not enabled then. Moreover,
cpuidle_unregister_driver(), which would reset the driver value to
NULL, is not called before cpuidle_unregister_device().
All of the cpuidle drivers use the API in the same way.
In general, a cleanup around the lock is necessary and a proper
refcounting mechanism should be used to ensure the consistency in the
API (for example, cpuidle_unregister_driver() should fail if the
driver's refcount is not 0). However, these modifications will require
some code reorganization and rewrite which will be too intrusive for
a fix.
For this reason, fix the contention problem introduced by commit
bf4d1b5 by simply removing the locking from cpuidle_get_cpu_driver(),
which restores the original behavior of that routine.

With the tegra3 and the big.LITTLE [1] new architectures, several cpus
with different characteristics (latencies and states) can co-exists on the
system.
The cpuidle framework has the limitation of handling only identical cpus.
This patch removes this limitation by introducing the multiple driver support
for cpuidle.
This option is configurable at compile time and should be enabled for the
architectures mentioned above. So there is no impact for the other platforms
if the option is disabled. The option defaults to 'n'. Note the multiple drivers
support is also compatible with the existing drivers, even if just one driver is
needed, all the cpu will be tied to this driver using an extra small chunk of
processor memory.
The multiple driver support use a per-cpu driver pointer instead of a global
variable and the accessor to this variable are done from a cpu context.
In order to keep the compatibility with the existing drivers, the function
'cpuidle_register_driver' and 'cpuidle_unregister_driver' will register
the specified driver for all the cpus.
The semantic for the output of /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_driver
remains the same except the driver name will be related to the current cpu.
The /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]/cpuidle/driver/name files are added
allowing to read the per cpu driver name.

This patch makes the cpuidle_states structure global (single copy)
instead of per-cpu. The statistics needed on per-cpu basis
by the governor are kept per-cpu. This simplifies the cpuidle
subsystem as state registration is done by single cpu only.
Having single copy of cpuidle_states saves memory. Rare case
of asymmetric C-states can be handled within the cpuidle driver
and architectures such as POWER do not have asymmetric C-states.
Having single/global registration of all the idle states,
dynamic C-state transitions on x86 are handled by
the boot cpu. Here, the boot cpu would disable all the devices,
re-populate the states and later enable all the devices,
irrespective of the cpu that would receive the notification first.

CPUIDLE: load ACPI properly when CPUIDLE is disabled
Change the registration return codes for when CPUIDLE
support is not compiled into the kernel. As a result, the ACPI
processor driver will load properly even if CPUIDLE is unavailable.
However, it may be possible to cleanup the ACPI processor driver further
and eliminate some dead code paths.

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 :)

x86-64 expects all idle handlers to enable interrupts before returning from

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

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.
