Linus Torvalds 1fe43114ea More power management updates for 4.17-rc1
- Rework the idle loop in order to prevent CPUs from spending too
    much time in shallow idle states by making it stop the scheduler
    tick before putting the CPU into an idle state only if the idle
    duration predicted by the idle governor is long enough.  That
    required the code to be reordered to invoke the idle governor
    before stopping the tick, among other things (Rafael Wysocki,
    Frederic Weisbecker, Arnd Bergmann).
 
  - Add the missing description of the residency sysfs attribute to
    the cpuidle documentation (Prashanth Prakash).
 
  - Finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving frequency table validation
    from drivers to the core (Viresh Kumar).
 
  - Fix a clock leak regression in the armada-37xx cpufreq driver
    (Gregory Clement).
 
  - Fix the initialization of the CPU performance data structures
    for shared policies in the CPPC cpufreq driver (Shunyong Yang).
 
  - Clean up the ti-cpufreq, intel_pstate and CPPC cpufreq drivers
    a bit (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Mark the expected switch fall-throughs in the PM QoS core (Gustavo
    Silva).

Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These include one big-ticket item which is the rework of the idle loop
  in order to prevent CPUs from spending too much time in shallow idle
  states. It reduces idle power on some systems by 10% or more and may
  improve performance of workloads in which the idle loop overhead
  matters. This has been in the works for several weeks and it has been
  tested and reviewed quite thoroughly.

  Also included are changes that finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving
  frequency table validation from drivers to the core, a few fixes and
  cleanups of cpufreq drivers, a cpuidle documentation update and a PM
  QoS core update to mark the expected switch fall-throughs in it.

  Specifics:

   - Rework the idle loop in order to prevent CPUs from spending too
     much time in shallow idle states by making it stop the scheduler
     tick before putting the CPU into an idle state only if the idle
     duration predicted by the idle governor is long enough.

     That required the code to be reordered to invoke the idle governor
     before stopping the tick, among other things (Rafael Wysocki,
     Frederic Weisbecker, Arnd Bergmann).

   - Add the missing description of the residency sysfs attribute to the
     cpuidle documentation (Prashanth Prakash).

   - Finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving frequency table validation from
     drivers to the core (Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix a clock leak regression in the armada-37xx cpufreq driver
     (Gregory Clement).

   - Fix the initialization of the CPU performance data structures for
     shared policies in the CPPC cpufreq driver (Shunyong Yang).

   - Clean up the ti-cpufreq, intel_pstate and CPPC cpufreq drivers a
     bit (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki).

     Silva)"
