Linus Torvalds 12dd08fa95 Power management updates for 4.20-rc1
- Backport hibernation bug fixes from x86-64 to x86-32 and
    consolidate hibernation handling on x86 to allow 32-bit
    systems to work in all of the cases in which 64-bit ones
    work (Zhimin Gu, Chen Yu).
 
  - Fix hibernation documentation (Vladimir D. Seleznev).
 
  - Update the menu cpuidle governor to fix a couple of issues
    with it, make it more efficient in some cases and clean it
    up (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Rework the cpuidle polling state implementation to make it
    more efficient (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Clean up the cpuidle core somewhat (Fieah Lim).
 
  - Fix the cpufreq conservative governor to take policy limits
    into account properly in some cases (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Add support for retrieving guaranteed performance information
    to the ACPI CPPC library and make the intel_pstate driver use
    it to expose the CPU base frequency via sysfs on systems with
    the hardware-managed P-states (HWP) feature enabled (Srinivas
    Pandruvada).
 
  - Fix clang warning in the CPPC cpufreq driver (Nathan Chancellor).
 
  - Get rid of device_node.name printing from cpufreq (Rob Herring).
 
  - Remove unnecessary unlikely() from the cpufreq core (Igor Stoppa).
 
  - Add support for the r8a7744 SoC to the cpufreq-dt driver (Biju Das).
 
  - Update the dt-platdev cpufreq driver to allow RK3399 to have
    separate tunables per cluster (Dmitry Torokhov).
 
  - Fix the dma_alloc_coherent() usage in the tegra186 cpufreq driver
    (Christoph Hellwig).
 
  - Make the imx6q cpufreq driver read OCOTP through nvmem for
    imx6ul/imx6ull (Anson Huang).
 
  - Fix several bugs in the operating performance points (OPP)
    framework and make it more stable (Viresh Kumar, Dave Gerlach).
 
  - Update the devfreq subsystem to take changes in the APIs used
    by into account, fix some issues with it and make it stop
    print device_node.name directly (Bjorn Andersson, Enric Balletbo
    i Serra, Matthias Kaehlcke, Rob Herring, Vincent Donnefort, zhong
    jiang).
 
  - Prepare the generic power domains (genpd) framework for dealing
    with domains containing CPUs (Ulf Hansson).
 
  - Prevent sysfs attributes representing low-power S0 residency
    counters from being exposed if low-power S0 support is not
    indicated in ACPI FADT (Rajneesh Bhardwaj).
 
  - Get rid of custom CPU features macros for Intel CPUs from the
    intel_idle and RAPL drivers (Andy Shevchenko).
 
  - Update the tasks freezer to list tasks that refused to freeze
    and caused a system transition to a sleep state to be aborted
    (Todd Brandt).
 
  - Update the pm-graph set of tools to v5.2 (Todd Brandt).
 
  - Fix some issues in the cpupower utility (Anders Roxell, Prarit
    Bhargava).

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These make hibernation on 32-bit x86 systems work in all of the cases
  in which it works on 64-bit x86 ones, update the menu cpuidle governor
  and the "polling" state to make them more efficient, add more hardware
  support to cpufreq drivers and fix issues with some of them, fix a bug

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
