Jan Beulich 166deb0f0b xen/ACPI: don't upload Px/Cx data for disabled processors
This is unnecessary and triggers a warning in the hypervisor.

Often systems have more processor entries in their ACPI tables than are
actually installed/active. The ACPI_STA_DEVICE_PRESENT bit cannot be
reliably used, but the ACPI_MADT_ENABLED bit can. In order to not
introduce new functions in the main ACPI processor driver code, simply
use acpi_get_phys_id(), which does more than we need, but which checks
the MADT enabled bit in the process. Any CPU for which we can't
determine the APIC ID is unlikely to work properly anyway, so the extra
checks done by acpi_get_phys_id() should do no harm.

Joao Martins 4d0f1ce695 xen/acpi: upload _PSD info for non Dom0 CPUs too
All uploaded PM data from non-dom0 CPUs takes the info from vCPU 0 and
changing only the acpi_id. For processors which P-state coordination type
is HW_ALL (0xFD) it is OK to upload bogus P-state dependency information
(_PSD), because Xen will ignore any cpufreq domains created for past CPUs.

Albeit for platforms which expose coordination types as SW_ANY or SW_ALL,
this will have some unintended side effects. Effectively, it will look at
the P-state domain existence and *if it already exists* it will skip the
acpi-cpufreq initialization and thus inherit the policy from the first CPU
in the cpufreq domain. This will finally lead to the original cpu not
changing target freq to P0 other than the first in the domain. Which will
make turbo boost not getting enabled (e.g. for 'performance' governor) for
all cpus.

This patch fixes that, by also evaluating _PSD when we enumerate all ACPI
processors and thus always uploading the correct info to Xen. We export
acpi_processor_get_psd() for that this purpose, but change signature
to not assume an existent of acpi_processor given that ACPI isn't creating
an acpi_processor for non-dom0 CPUs.

Ankur Arora 1914f0cd20 xen/acpi: upload PM state from init-domain to Xen
This was broken in commit cd979883b9 ("xen/acpi-processor:
fix enabling interrupts on syscore_resume"). do_suspend (from
xen/manage.c) and thus xen_resume_notifier never get called on
the initial-domain at resume (it is if running as guest.)

The rationale for the breaking change was that upload_pm_data()
potentially does blocking work in syscore_resume(). This patch
addresses the original issue by scheduling upload_pm_data() to
execute in workqueue context.

Jan Beulich 6f2d9d9921 xen/acpi: allow xen-acpi-processor driver to load on Xen 4.7
As of Xen 4.7 PV CPUID doesn't expose either of CPUID[1].ECX[7] and
CPUID[0x80000007].EDX[7] anymore, causing the driver to fail to load on
both Intel and AMD systems. Doing any kind of hardware capability
checks in the driver as a prerequisite was wrong anyway: With the
hypervisor being in charge, all such checking should be done by it. If
ACPI data gets uploaded despite some missing capability, the hypervisor
is free to ignore part or all of that data.

Ditch the entire check_prereq() function, and do the only valid check
(xen_initial_domain()) in the caller in its place.

Lv Zheng 8b48463f89 ACPI: Clean up inclusions of ACPI header files
Replace direct inclusions of <acpi/acpi.h>, <acpi/acpi_bus.h> and
<acpi/acpi_drivers.h>, which are incorrect, with <linux/acpi.h>
inclusions and remove some inclusions of those files that aren't
necessary.

First of all, <acpi/acpi.h>, <acpi/acpi_bus.h> and <acpi/acpi_drivers.h>
should not be included directly from any files that are built for
CONFIG_ACPI unset, because that generally leads to build warnings about
undefined symbols in !CONFIG_ACPI builds.  For CONFIG_ACPI set,
<linux/acpi.h> includes those files and for CONFIG_ACPI unset it
provides stub ACPI symbols to be used in that case.

Second, there are ordering dependencies between those files that always
have to be met.  Namely, it is required that <acpi/acpi_bus.h> be included
prior to <acpi/acpi_drivers.h> so that the acpi_pci_root declarations the
latter depends on are always there.  And <acpi/acpi.h> which provides
basic ACPICA type declarations should always be included prior to any other
ACPI headers in CONFIG_ACPI builds.  That also is taken care of including
<linux/acpi.h> as appropriate.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 949dd8c14f xen/acpi-processor: Don't dereference struct acpi_processor on all CPUs.
With git commit c705c78c0d
"acpi: Export the acpi_processor_get_performance_info" we are now
using a different mechanism to access the P-states.

The acpi_processor per-cpu structure is set and filtered by the
core ACPI code which shrinks the per_cpu contents to only online CPUs.
In the past we would call acpi_processor_register_performance()
which would have not tried to dereference offline cpus.

With the new patch and the fact that the loop we take is for
for_all_possible_cpus we end up crashing on some machines.
We could modify the loop to be for online_cpus - but all the other
loops in the code use possible_cpus (for a good reason) - so lets
leave it as so and just check if per_cpu(processor) is NULL.

With this patch we will bypass the !online but possible CPUs.
This fixes:

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk c705c78c0d acpi: Export the acpi_processor_get_performance_info
The git commit d5aaffa9dd
(cpufreq: handle cpufreq being disabled for all exported function)
tightens the cpufreq API by returning errors when disable_cpufreq()
had been called.

The problem we are hitting is that the module xen-acpi-processor which
uses the ACPI's functions: acpi_processor_register_performance,
acpi_processor_preregister_performance, and acpi_processor_notify_smm
fails at acpi_processor_register_performance with -22.

Note that earlier during bootup in arch/x86/xen/setup.c there is also
an call to cpufreq's API: disable_cpufreq().

This is b/c we want the Linux kernel to parse the ACPI data, but leave
the cpufreq decisions to the hypervisor.

In v3.9 all the checks that d5aaffa9dd
added are now hit and the calls to cpufreq_register_notifier will now
fail. This means that acpi_processor_ppc_init ends up printing:

"Warning: Processor Platform Limit not supported"

and the acpi_processor_ppc_status is not set.

The repercussions of that is that the call to
acpi_processor_register_performance fails right away at:

	if (!(acpi_processor_ppc_status & PPC_REGISTERED))

and we don't progress any further on parsing and extracting the _P*
objects.

The only reason the Xen code called that function was b/c it was
exported and the only way to gather the P-states. But we can also
just make acpi_processor_get_performance_info be exported and not
use acpi_processor_register_performance. This patch does so.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 59a5680291 xen/acpi-processor: C and P-state driver that uploads said data to hypervisor.
This driver solves three problems:
 1). Parse and upload ACPI0007 (or PROCESSOR_TYPE) information to the
     hypervisor - aka P-states (cpufreq data).
 2). Upload the the Cx state information (cpuidle data).
 3). Inhibit CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading.

The reason for wanting to solve 1) and 2) is such that the Xen hypervisor
is the only one that knows the CPU usage of different guests and can
make the proper decision of when to put CPUs and packages in proper states.
Unfortunately the hypervisor has no support to parse ACPI DSDT tables, hence it
needs help from the initial domain to provide this information. The reason
for 3) is that we do not want the initial domain to change P-states while the
hypervisor is doing it as well - it causes rather some funny cases of P-states
transitions.

For this to work, the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads said
information to the Xen hypervisor. It also calls acpi_processor_notify_smm()
to inhibit the other CPU frequency scaling drivers from being loaded.

Everything revolves around the 'struct acpi_processor' structure which
gets updated during the bootup cycle in different stages. At the startup, when
the ACPI parser starts, the C-state information is processed (processor_idle)
and saved in said structure as 'power' element. Later on, the CPU frequency
scaling driver (powernow-k8 or acpi_cpufreq), would call the the
acpi_processor_* (processor_perflib functions) to parse P-states information
and populate in the said structure the 'performance' element.

Since we do not want the CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading
we have to call the acpi_processor_* functions to parse the P-states and
call "acpi_processor_notify_smm" to stop them from loading.

There is also one oddity in this driver which is that under Xen, the
physical online CPU count can be different from the virtual online CPU count.
Meaning that the macros 'for_[online|possible]_cpu' would process only
up to virtual online CPU count. We on the other hand want to process
the full amount of physical CPUs. For that, the driver checks if the ACPI IDs
count is different from the APIC ID count - which can happen if the user
choose to use dom0_max_vcpu argument. In such a case a backup of the PM
structure is used and uploaded to the hypervisor.
