Linus Torvalds 408c9861c6 Power management updates for v4.13-rc1
- Rework suspend-to-idle to allow it to take wakeup events signaled
    by the EC into account on ACPI-based platforms in order to properly
    support power button wakeup from suspend-to-idle on recent Dell
    laptops (Rafael Wysocki).
 
    That includes the core suspend-to-idle code rework, support for
    the Low Power S0 _DSM interface, and support for the ACPI INT0002
    Virtual GPIO device from Hans de Goede (required for USB keyboard
    wakeup from suspend-to-idle to work on some machines).
 
  - Stop trying to export the current CPU frequency via /proc/cpuinfo
    on x86 as that is inaccurate and confusing (Len Brown).
 
  - Rework the way in which the current CPU frequency is exported by
    the kernel (over the cpufreq sysfs interface) on x86 systems with
    the APERF and MPERF registers by always using values read from
    these registers, when available, to compute the current frequency
    regardless of which cpufreq driver is in use (Len Brown).
 
  - Rework the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure to remove the
    questionable and artificial distinction between "devices that
    can wake up the system from sleep states" and "devices that can
    generate wakeup signals in the working state" from it, which
    allows the code to be simplified quite a bit (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Fix the wakeup IRQ framework by making it use SRCU instead of
    RCU which doesn't allow sleeping in the read-side critical
    sections, but which in turn is expected to be allowed by the
    IRQ bus locking infrastructure (Thomas Gleixner).
 
  - Modify some computations in the intel_pstate driver to avoid
    rounding errors resulting from them (Srinivas Pandruvada).
 
  - Reduce the overhead of the intel_pstate driver in the HWP
    (hardware-managed P-states) mode and when the "performance"
    P-state selection algorithm is in use by making it avoid
    registering scheduler callbacks in those cases (Len Brown).
 
  - Rework the energy_performance_preference sysfs knob in
    intel_pstate by changing the values that correspond to
    different symbolic hint names used by it (Len Brown).
 
  - Make it possible to use more than one cpuidle driver at the same
    time on ARM (Daniel Lezcano).
 
  - Make it possible to prevent the cpuidle menu governor from using
    the 0 state by disabling it via sysfs (Nicholas Piggin).
 
  - Add support for FFH (Fixed Functional Hardware) MWAIT in ACPI C1
    on AMD systems (Yazen Ghannam).
 
  - Make the CPPC cpufreq driver take the lowest nonlinear performance
    information into account (Prashanth Prakash).
 
  - Add support for hi3660 to the cpufreq-dt driver, fix the
    imx6q driver and clean up the sfi, exynos5440 and intel_pstate
    drivers (Colin Ian King, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Octavian Purdila,
    Rafael Wysocki, Tao Wang).
 
  - Fix a few minor issues in the generic power domains (genpd)
    framework and clean it up somewhat (Krzysztof Kozlowski,
    Mikko Perttunen, Viresh Kumar).
 
  - Fix a couple of minor issues in the operating performance points
    (OPP) framework and clean it up somewhat (Viresh Kumar).
 
  - Fix a CONFIG dependency in the hibernation core and clean it up
    slightly (Balbir Singh, Arvind Yadav, BaoJun Luo).
 
  - Add rk3228 support to the rockchip-io adaptive voltage scaling
    (AVS) driver (David Wu).
 
  - Fix an incorrect bit shift operation in the RAPL power capping
    driver (Adam Lessnau).
 
  - Add support for the EPP field in the HWP (hardware managed
    P-states) control register, HWP.EPP, to the x86_energy_perf_policy
    tool and update msr-index.h with HWP.EPP values (Len Brown).
 
  - Fix some minor issues in the turbostat tool (Len Brown).
 
  - Add support for AMD family 0x17 CPUs to the cpupower tool and fix
    a minor issue in it (Sherry Hurwitz).
 
  - Assorted cleanups, mostly related to the constification of some
    data structures (Arvind Yadav, Joe Perches, Kees Cook, Krzysztof
    Kozlowski).

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The big ticket items here are the rework of suspend-to-idle in order
  to add proper support for power button wakeup from it on recent Dell
  laptops and the rework of interfaces exporting the current CPU
  frequency on x86.

  In addition to that, support for a few new pieces of hardware is
  added, the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure is simplified
  significantly and the wakeup IRQ framework is fixed to unbreak the IRQ
  bus locking infrastructure.

  Also, there are some functional improvements for intel_pstate, tools
  updates and small fixes and cleanups all over.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
