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.

There are two reasons why CPU idle states may be disabled: either
because the driver has disabled them or because they have been
disabled by user space via sysfs.
In the former case, the state's "disabled" flag is set once during
the initialization of the driver and it is never cleared later (it
is read-only effectively). In the latter case, the "disable" field
of the given state's cpuidle_state_usage struct is set and it may be
changed via sysfs. Thus checking whether or not an idle state has
been disabled involves reading these two flags every time.
In order to avoid the additional check of the state's "disabled" flag
(which is effectively read-only anyway), use the value of it at the
init time to set a (new) flag in the "disable" field of that state's
cpuidle_state_usage structure and use the sysfs interface to
manipulate another (new) flag in it. This way the state is disabled
whenever the "disable" field of its cpuidle_state_usage structure is
nonzero, whatever the reason, and it is the only place to look into
to check whether or not the state has been disabled.

After commit 554c8aa8ec ("sched: idle: Select idle state before
stopping the tick") the menu governor prevents the scheduler tick from
being stopped (unless stopped already) if there is a PM QoS latency
constraint for the given CPU and the target residency of the deepest
idle state matching that constraint is below the tick boundary.
However, that is problematic if CPUs with PM QoS latency constraints
are idle for long times, because it effectively causes the tick to
run on them all the time which is wasteful. [It is also confusing
and questionable if they are full dynticks CPUs.]
To address that issue, make the menu governor allow the tick to be
stopped only if the idle duration predicted by it is beyond the tick
boundary, except when the shallowest idle state is selected upfront
and it is not a "polling" one.

After some recent menu governor changes, the promotion of the
"polling" state to a physical one is mostly controlled by the
latency limit (resulting from the "interactivity" factor) and
not by the time to the closest timer event, so it should be
sufficient to check the exit latency of that state for this
purpose (of course, its target residency still needs to be
within the next timer event range for energy-efficiency).
Also, the physical state the "polling" one is promoted to need not
be the next one in principle (in case the next state is disabled,
for example).
For these reasons, simplify the checks made to decide whether or
not to promote the "polling" state to a physical one and update
the target idle duration when it is promoted in case the residency
of the new state turns out to be above the tick boundary (in which
case there is no reason to stop the tick).

If the CPU exits the "polling" state due to the time limit in the
loop in poll_idle(), this is not a real wakeup and it just means
that the "polling" state selection was not adequate. The governor
mispredicted short idle duration, but had a more suitable state been
selected, the CPU might have spent more time in it. In fact, there
is no reason to expect that there would have been a wakeup event
earlier than the next timer in that case.
Handling such cases as regular wakeups in menu_update() may cause the
menu governor to make suboptimal decisions going forward, but ignoring
them altogether would not be correct either, because every time
menu_select() is invoked, it makes a separate new attempt to predict
the idle duration taking distinct time to the closest timer event as
input and the outcomes of all those attempts should be recorded.
For this reason, make menu_update() always assume that if the
"polling" state was exited due to the time limit, the next proper
wakeup event for the CPU would be the next timer event (not
including the tick).

The case addressed by commit 5ef499cd57 (cpuidle: menu: Handle
stopped tick more aggressively) in the stopped tick case is present
when the tick has not been stopped yet too. Namely, if only two CPU
idle states, shallow state A with target residency significantly
below the tick boundary and deep state B with target residency
significantly above it, are available and the predicted idle
duration is above the tick boundary, but below the target residency
of state B, state A will be selected and the CPU may spend indefinite
amount of time in it, which is not quite energy-efficient.
However, if the tick has not been stopped yet and the governor is
about to select a shallow idle state for the CPU even though the idle
duration predicted by it is above the tick boundary, it should be
fine to wake up the CPU early, so the tick can be retained then and
the governor will have a chance to select a deeper state when it runs
next time.
[Note that when this really happens, it will make the idle duration
predictor believe that the CPU might be idle longer than predicted,
which will make it more likely to predict longer idle durations going
forward, but that will also cause deeper idle states to be selected
going forward, on average, which is what's needed here.]

Commit 87c9fe6ee4 (cpuidle: menu: Avoid selecting shallow states
with stopped tick) missed the case when the target residencies of
deep idle states of CPUs are above the tick boundary which may cause
the CPU to get stuck in a shallow idle state for a long time.
Say there are two CPU idle states available: one shallow, with the
target residency much below the tick boundary and one deep, with
the target residency significantly above the tick boundary. In
that case, if the tick has been stopped already and the expected
next timer event is relatively far in the future, the governor will
assume the idle duration to be equal to TICK_USEC and it will select
the idle state for the CPU accordingly. However, that will cause the
shallow state to be selected even though it would have been more
energy-efficient to select the deep one.
To address this issue, modify the governor to always use the time
till the closest timer event instead of the predicted idle duration
if the latter is less than the tick period length and the tick has
been stopped already. Also make it extend the search for a matching
idle state if the tick is stopped to avoid settling on a shallow
state if deep states with target residencies above the tick period
length are available.
In addition, make it always indicate that the tick should be stopped
if it has been stopped already for consistency.

Add a new pointer argument to cpuidle_select() and to the ->select
cpuidle governor callback to allow a boolean value indicating
whether or not the tick should be stopped before entering the
selected state to be returned from there.
Make the ladder governor ignore that pointer (to preserve its
current behavior) and make the menu governor return 'false" through
it if:
(1) the idle exit latency is constrained at 0, or
(2) the selected state is a polling one, or
(3) the expected idle period duration is within the tick period
range.
In addition to that, the correction factor computations in the menu
governor need to take the possibility that the tick may not be
stopped into account to avoid artificially small correction factor
values. To that end, add a mechanism to record tick wakeups, as
suggested by Peter Zijlstra, and use it to modify the menu_update()
behavior when tick wakeup occurs. Namely, if the CPU is woken up by
the tick and the return value of tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() is not
within the tick boundary, the predicted idle duration is likely too
short, so make menu_update() try to compensate for that by updating
the governor statistics as though the CPU was idle for a long time.
Since the value returned through the new argument pointer of
cpuidle_select() is not used by its caller yet, this change by
itself is not expected to alter the functionality of the code.

The special value of 0 for device resume latency PM QoS means
"no restriction", but there are two problems with that.
First, device resume latency PM QoS requests with 0 as the
value are always put in front of requests with positive
values in the priority lists used internally by the PM QoS
framework, causing 0 to be chosen as an effective constraint
value. However, that 0 is then interpreted as "no restriction"
effectively overriding the other requests with specific
restrictions which is incorrect.
Second, the users of device resume latency PM QoS have no
way to specify that *any* resume latency at all should be
avoided, which is an artificial limitation in general.
To address these issues, modify device resume latency PM QoS to
use S32_MAX as the "no constraint" value and 0 as the "no
latency at all" one and rework its users (the cpuidle menu
governor, the genpd QoS governor and the runtime PM framework)
to follow these changes.
Also add a special "n/a" value to the corresponding user space I/F
to allow user space to indicate that it cannot accept any resume
latencies at all for the given device.

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

Pull sched.h split-up from Ingo Molnar:
"The point of these changes is to significantly reduce the
<linux/sched.h> header footprint, to speed up the kernel build and to
have a cleaner header structure.
After these changes the new <linux/sched.h>'s typical preprocessed
size goes down from a previous ~0.68 MB (~22K lines) to ~0.45 MB (~15K
lines), which is around 40% faster to build on typical configs.
Not much changed from the last version (-v2) posted three weeks ago: I
eliminated quirks, backmerged fixes plus I rebased it to an upstream
SHA1 from yesterday that includes most changes queued up in -next plus
all sched.h changes that were pending from Andrew.
I've re-tested the series both on x86 and on cross-arch defconfigs,
and did a bisectability test at a number of random points.
I tried to test as many build configurations as possible, but some
build breakage is probably still left - but it should be mostly
limited to architectures that have no cross-compiler binaries
available on kernel.org, and non-default configurations"

After commit 9908859aca (cpuidle/menu: add per CPU PM QoS resume
latency consideration) the cpuidle menu governor calls
dev_pm_qos_read_value() on CPU devices to read the current resume
latency QoS constraint values for them. That function takes a spinlock
to prevent the device's power.qos pointer from becoming NULL during
the access which is a problem for the RT patchset where spinlocks are
converted into mutexes and the idle loop stops working.
However, it is not even necessary for the menu governor to take
that spinlock, because the power.qos pointer accessed under it
cannot be modified during the access anyway.
For this reason, introduce a "raw" routine for accessing device
QoS resume latency constraints without locking and use it in the
menu governor.

There may be special requirements on CPU response time, like if a
interrupt is pinned to a CPU, that CPU should not go into excessively
deep idle states. For this reason, add a mechanism for adding
PM QoS resume latency constraints for individual CPUs and modify the
menu governor to take them into account.
To that end, extend the device PM QoS pm_qos_resume_latency attribute
to CPUs, which is possible, because the exit latency for CPUs is
effectively equivalent to the resume latency for devices.

Obsolete commit 71abbbf856 (cpuidle: extend cpuidle and menu governor
to handle dynamic states) wanted to introduce dynamic C-states, but that
idea was dropped long ago. The nonsense deeper C-state checking
remained, though.
Since both target_residency and exit_latency are longer for deeper
idle state, there's no need to waste CPU time on useless checks.

The governor's code use try_module_get() and put_module() to refcount

The refcount does not prevent to switch the governor or unload

Commit a9ceb78bc7 (cpuidle,menu: use interactivity_req to disable
polling) changed the behavior of the fallback state selection part
of menu_select() so it looks at interactivity_req instead of
data->next_timer_us when it makes its decision. That effectively
caused polling to be used more often as fallback idle which led to
significant increases of energy consumption in some cases.
Commit e132b9b3bc (cpuidle: menu: use high confidence factors
only when considering polling) changed that logic again to be more
predictable, but that didn't help with the increased energy
consumption problem.
For this reason, go back to making decisions on which state to fall
back to based on data->next_timer_us which is the time we know for
sure something will happen rather than a prediction (which may be
inaccurate and turns out to be so often enough to be problematic).
However, take the target residency of the first proper idle state
(C1) into account, so that state is not used as the fallback one
if its target residency is greater than data->next_timer_us.

The menu governor uses five different factors to pick the
idle state:
- the user configured latency_req
- the time until the next timer (next_timer_us)
- the typical sleep interval, as measured recently
- an estimate of sleep time by dividing next_timer_us by an observed factor
- a load corrected version of the above, divided again by load
Only the first three items are known with enough confidence that
we can use them to consider polling, instead of an actual CPU
idle state, because the cost of being wrong about polling can be
excessive power use.
The latter two are used in the menu governor's main selection
loop, and can result in choosing a shallower idle state when
the system is expected to be busy again soon.
This pushes a busy system in the "performance" direction of
the performance<>power tradeoff, when choosing between idle
states, but stays more strictly on the "power" state when
deciding between polling and C1.

We know that the avg variable actually ends up holding a 32 bit
quantity, since it's an average of such numbers. It is only a u64
because it is temporarily used to hold the sum. Making it an actual
u32 allows gcc to generate slightly better code, e.g. when computing
the square, it can do a 32x32->64 multiply.

Computing the integer square root is a rather expensive operation, at
least compared to doing a 64x64 -> 64 multiply (avg*avg) and, on 64
bit platforms, doing an extra comparison to a constant (variance <=
U64_MAX/36).
On 64 bit platforms, this does mean that we add a restriction on the
range of the variance where we end up using the estimate (since
previously the stddev <= ULONG_MAX was a tautology), but on the other
hand, we extend the range quite substantially on 32 bit platforms - in
both cases, we now allow standard deviations up to 715 seconds, which
is for example guaranteed if all observations are less than 1430
seconds.

If menu_select() cannot find a suitable state to return, it will
return the state index stored in data->last_state_idx. This
means that it is pointless to look at the states whose indices
are less than or equal to data->last_state_idx in the main loop,
so don't do that.
Given that those checks are done on every idle state selection, this
change can save quite a bit of completely unnecessary overhead.

Commit a9ceb78bc7 (cpuidle,menu: use interactivity_req to disable
polling) exposed a bug in menu_select() causing it to return -1
on systems with CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START equal to zero, although
it should have returned 0. As a result, idle states are not entered
by CPUs on those systems.
Namely, on the systems in question data->last_state_idx is initially
equal to -1 and the above commit modified the condition that would
have caused it to be changed to 0 to be less likely to trigger which
exposed the problem. However, setting data->last_state_idx initially
to -1 doesn't make sense at all and on the affected systems it should
always be set to CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START (ie. 0) unconditionally,
so make that happen.

The cpuidle state tables contain the maximum exit latency for each
cpuidle state. On x86, that is the exit latency for when the entire
package goes into that same idle state.
However, a lot of the time we only go into the core idle state,
not the package idle state. This means we see a much smaller exit
latency.
We have no way to detect whether we went into the core or package
idle state while idle, and that is ok.
However, the current menu_update logic does have the potential to
trip up the repeating pattern detection in get_typical_interval.
If the system is experiencing an exit latency near the idle state's
exit latency, some of the samples will have exit_us subtracted,
while others will not. This turns a repeating pattern into mush,
potentially breaking get_typical_interval.
Furthermore, for smaller sleep intervals, we know the chance that
all the cores in the package went to the same idle state are fairly
small. Dividing the measured_us by two, instead of subtracting the
full exit latency when hitting a small measured_us, will reduce the
error.

The menu governor carefully figures out how much time we typically
sleep for an estimated sleep interval, or whether there is a repeating
pattern going on, and corrects that estimate for the CPU load.
Then it proceeds to ignore that information when determining whether
or not to consider polling. This is not a big deal on most x86 CPUs,
which have very low C1 latencies, and the patch should not have any
effect on those CPUs.
However, certain CPUs (eg. Atom) have much higher C1 latencies, and
it would be good to not waste performance and power on those CPUs if
we are expecting a very low wakeup latency.
Disable polling based on the estimated interactivity requirement, not
on the time to the next timer interrupt.

The cpuidle menu governor has a forced cut-off for polling at 5us,
in order to deal with firmware that gives the OS bad information
on cpuidle states, leading to the system spending way too much time
in polling.
However, at least one x86 CPU family (Atom) has chips that have
a 20us break-even point for C1. Forcing the polling cut-off to
less than that wastes performance and power.
Increase the polling cut-off to 20us.
Systems with a lower C1 latency will be found in the states table by
the menu governor, which will pick those states as appropriate.
