Replaced previously open-coded Package C-state Limit decoding
with table-driven decoding. In doing so, updated to match January 2015
"Intel(R) 64 and IA-23 Architectures Software Developer's Manual".
In the past, turbostat would print package C-state residency columns
for all package states supported by the model's architecture, even though
a particular SKU may not support them, or they may be disabled by the BIOS.
Now turbostat will skip printing colunns if MSRs indicate that they are not enabled.
eg. many SKUs don't support PC7, and so that column will no longer be printed.

While turbostat is significantly less useful on systems
with no APERF_MSR, it seems more friendly
to run on such systems and report what we can,

Turbostat can be useful on systems that do not support invariant TSC,
so allow it to run on those systgems.
All arithmetic in turbostat using the TSC value is per-processsor,
so it does not depend on the TSC values being in sync acrosss processors.
Turbostat uses gettimeofday() for the measurement interval
rather than using the TSC directly, so that key metric
is also immune from variable TSC.
Turbostat prints a TSC sanity check column:
TSC_MHz = TSC_delta/interval
If this column is constant and is close to the processor
base frequency, then the TSC is behaving properly.
The other key turbostat columns are calculated this way:
Avg_Mhz = APERF_delta/interval
%Busy = MPERF_delta/TSC_delta
Bzy_MHz = TSC_delta/APERF_delta/MPERF_delta/interval
Tested on Core2 and Core2-Xeon, and so this patch includes
a few other changes to remove the assumption that target
systems are Nehalem and newer.

The Processor generation code-named Haswell
added MSR_{CORE | GFX | RING}_PERF_LIMIT_REASONS
to explain when and how the processor limits frequency.
turbostat -v
will now decode these bits.
Each MSR has an "Active" set of bits which describe
current conditions, and a "Logged" set of bits,
which describe what has happened since last cleared.
Turbostat currently doesn't clear the log bits.

For turbostat to run as non-root, it needs to permissions:
1. read access to /dev/cpu/*/msr
via standard user/group/world file permissions
2. CAP_SYS_RAWIO
eg. # setcap cap_sys_rawio=ep turbostat
Yes, running as root still works.

This reverts commit 16b7c275c0.
My previous commit 16b7c275c0 ("tools: cpupower: fix return checks for
sysfs_get_idlestate_count()") was not correct. After looking
at the changelog for cpupower I noticed that Thomas had changed the return of
sysfs_get_idlestate_count() to an unsigned int to simplify the code. The
problem is really that both he (in his original change) and I (in my new
change) missed the obvious that sysfs_get_idlestate_count()
can't return -ENODEV. It should just return 0 for "no c-states".

Red Hat and Fedora use a bug reporting tool that gathers data about
"broken" systems called sosreport. Among other things, it includes the
output of 'cpupower idle-info'. Executing 'cpupower idle-info' on a
system that has cpuidle disabled via 'cpuidle.off=1' results in a 300
second hang in the cpupower application.
ie)
[root@intel-brickland-05]# cpupower idle-info
Could not determine cpuidle driver
Analyzing CPU 0:
Number of idle states: -19
[hang]
The problem is that the cpupower code only checks for a zero return from
sysfs_get_idlestate_count(). The function can return -ENODEV (-19) as
above. This patch fixes callers to sysfs_get_idlestate_count() to check
the right return values.

the printf() API.
To use acpi_os_printf() exported by osunixxf.c as a replacement of
printf(), applications need to initialize acpi_gbl_output_file to stdout
and initialize acpi_gbl_db_output_flags to ACPI_DB_CONSOLE_OUTPUT. The
latter is automatically done by ACPI_INIT_GLOBAL(), applications need to
link utglobal.o to utilize this mechanism. For GCC, assigning stdout to
acpi_gbl_output_file using ACPI_INIT_GLOBAL() is not possible as stdout is
not a constant in GCC environment. As an alternative solution, stdout
assignment has been put into acpi_os_initialize(). Thus
acpi_os_initialize() need to be invoked very early by the applications to
initialize the default output of acpi_os_printf() to keep behavior
consistency.

This patch introduces formatted printing APIs to handle ACPICA specific
formatted print requirements. Currently only specific OSPMs will use this
customized printing support, Linux kernel doesn't use these APIs at this
time. It will be enabled for Linux kernel resident ACPICA after being well
tested. So currently this patch is a no-op.
The specific formatted printing APIs are useful to ACPICA as:
1. Some portable applications do not link standard C library, so they
cannot use standard formatted print APIs directly.
2. Platform specific printing format may differ and thus not portable, for
example, u64 is %ull for Linux kernel and is %uI64 for some MSVC
versions.
3. Platform specific printing format may conflict with ACPICA's usages
while it is not possible for ACPICA developers to test their code for
all platforms. For example, developers may generate %pRxxx while Linux
kernel treats %pR as structured resource printing and decodes variable
argument as a "struct resource" pointer.
This patch solves above issues by introducing the new APIs.
Note that users of such APIs are not introduced in this patch. Users of
acpi_os_file_vprintf()/acpi_ut_file_printf() need to invoke acpi_os_initialize(),
this should be taken care by the further patches where such users are
introduced. Lv Zheng.

This patch is mainly for acpidump where there are redundant
acpi_os_printf()/acpi_os_vprintf() stubs implemented. This patch cleans up such
specific implementation by linking acpidump to osunixxf.c/oswinxf.c.
To make acpi_os_printf() exported by osunixxf.c/oswinxf.c to behave as the
old acpidump specific ones, applications need to:
1. Initialize acpi_gbl_db_output_flags to ACPI_DB_CONSOLE_OUTPUT.
This is automatically done by ACPI_INIT_GLOBAL(), applications need to
link utglobal.o to utilize this mechanism.
2. Initialize acpi_gbl_output_file to stdout.
For GCC, assigning stdout to acpi_gbl_output_file using ACPI_INIT_GLOBAL()
is not possible as stdout is not a constant in GCC environment. As an
alternative solution, stdout assignment is put into acpi_os_initialize().
Thus acpi_os_initialize() need to be invoked very early by the
applications to initialize the default output of acpi_os_printf().

The utglobal.c is used to define and initialize global variables. It makes
sense if just adding utglobal.o to applications that are using such
variables. But acpi_ut_init_globals() is preventing us from doing so as
this initialization function references other components' initializations
code, which leads to the requirement that many files should also get linked
if one wants to link utglobal.o.
It is possible to just move acpi_ut_init_global() to utinit.c for
applications that require this function to link.
By linking utglobal.o, we can stop defining DEFINE_ACPI_GLOBALS for
applications (currently only acpidump is affected). Lv Zheng.

It is reported that there are buggy BIOSes in the world: AMI uses an XSDT
compiler for early BIOSes, this compiler will generate XSDT with a NULL
entry. The affected BIOS versions are "AMI BIOS F2-F4".
Original solution on Linux is to use an alternative heathy root table
instead of the ill one. This commit is:
Commit: 671cc68dc6
Subject: ACPICA: Back port and refine validation of the XSDT root table.
This is an example of such XSDT dumped from B85-HD3 (AMI F3 BIOS):
[000h 0000 4] Signature : "XSDT" [Extended System Description Table]

[01Ch 0028 4] Asl Compiler ID : "AMI "
[020h 0032 4] Asl Compiler Revision : 00010013
[024h 0036 8] ACPI Table Address 0 : 00000000BA5F8180
[02Ch 0044 8] ACPI Table Address 1 : 00000000BA5F8290
[034h 0052 8] ACPI Table Address 2 : 00000000BA5F8308
[03Ch 0060 8] ACPI Table Address 3 : 00000000BA5F8848
[044h 0068 8] ACPI Table Address 4 : 00000000BA5F9320
[04Ch 0076 8] ACPI Table Address 5 : 00000000BA5F9360

[06Ch 0108 8] ACPI Table Address 9 : 0000000000000000
But according to the bug report, the XSDT in fact is not broken. In the
above XSDT, ACPI Table Address 1-8 contains the same value as RSDT. The
differences can only be seen on the following 2 entries:
1. The first entry points to a FADT whose Revision is 5 while the first
entry in RSDT points to a FADT whose Revision is 2.
The FADT dumped from the address indicated by the first entry of XSDT:
FACP @ 0x00000000BA5F8180
0000: 46 41 43 50 0C 01 00 00<05>4B 41 4C 41 53 4B 41 FACP.....KALASKA
...
The FADT dumped from the address indicated by the first entry of RSDT:
FACP @ 0x00000000BA5ED0F0
0000: 46 41 43 50 84 00 00 00<02>A7 41 4C 41 53 4B 41 FACP......ALASKA
...
2. The last entry is a NULL terminator.
According to the test result, the Revision 5 FADT is accessible. Thus the
original solution turns out to be a work around that is preventing the
higher revision tables to be used for such platforms (they are all x86-64
platforms, and should use XSDT and higher revision FADT).
This patch offers a new solution, where a sanity check is performed before
installing a table address from XSDT. If the entry is NULL, it is simply
discarded.
Note that, this patch doesn't remove the original solution, so for Linux
kernel, this commit is actually a no-op, but it allows acpidump to be
working on such platforms. By doing so, we allow another easy revertable
commit to enable this feature so that when that commit is reverted, the
useful sanity check will not be affected. Lv Zheng.

This patch adds "-x" and "-x -x" options to disable XSDT for acpidump.
The single "-x" can be used to stop using XSDT, RSDT will be forced to find
static tables, note that XSDT will still be dumped. The double "-x" can
stop dumping XSDT, which is useful when the XSDT address reported by RSDP
is pointing to an invalid address.

that users can force acpidump to dump tables listed in the RSDT. Lv Zheng.
