Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "There are no real big ticket items here this time. The most noticeable change is probably the relocation of the OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework to its own directory under drivers/ as it has grown big enough for that. Also Viresh is now going to maintain it and send pull requests for it to me, so you will see this change in the git history going forward (but still not right now). Another noticeable set of changes is the modifications of the PM core, the PCI subsystem and the ACPI PM domain to allow of more integration between system-wide suspend/resume and runtime PM. For now it's just a way to avoid resuming devices from runtime suspend unnecessarily during system suspend (if the driver sets a flag to indicate its readiness for that) and in the works is an analogous mechanism to allow devices to stay suspended after system resume. In addition to that, we have some changes related to supporting frequency-invariant CPU utilization metrics in the scheduler and in the schedutil cpufreq governor on ARM and changes to add support for device performance states to the generic power domains (genpd) framework. The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups of various sorts. Specifics: - Relocate the OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework to its own directory under drivers/ and add support for power domain performance states to it (Viresh Kumar). - Modify the PM core, the PCI bus type and the ACPI PM domain to support power management driver flags allowing device drivers to specify their capabilities and preferences regarding the handling of devices with enabled runtime PM during system suspend/resume and clean up that code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson). - Add frequency-invariant accounting support to the task scheduler on ARM and ARM64 (Dietmar Eggemann). - Fix PM QoS device resume latency framework to prevent "no restriction" requests from overriding requests with specific requirements and drop the confusing PM_QOS_FLAG_REMOTE_WAKEUP device PM QoS flag (Rafael Wysocki). - Drop legacy class suspend/resume operations from the PM core and drop legacy bus type suspend and resume callbacks from ARM/locomo (Rafael Wysocki). - Add min/max frequency support to devfreq and clean it up somewhat (Chanwoo Choi). - Rework wakeup support in the generic power domains (genpd) framework and update some of its users accordingly (Geert Uytterhoeven). - Convert timers in the PM core to use timer_setup() (Kees Cook). - Add support for exposing the SLP_S0 (Low Power S0 Idle) residency counter based on the LPIT ACPI table on Intel platforms (Srinivas Pandruvada). - Add per-CPU PM QoS resume latency support to the ladder cpuidle governor (Ramesh Thomas). - Fix a deadlock between the wakeup notify handler and the notifier removal in the ACPI core (Ville Syrjälä). - Fix a cpufreq schedutil governor issue causing it to use stale cached frequency values sometimes (Viresh Kumar). - Fix an issue in the system suspend core support code causing wakeup events detection to fail in some cases (Rajat Jain). - Fix the generic power domains (genpd) framework to prevent the PM core from using the direct-complete optimization with it as that is guaranteed to fail (Ulf Hansson). - Fix a minor issue in the cpuidle core and clean it up a bit (Gaurav Jindal, Nicholas Piggin). - Fix and clean up the intel_idle and ARM cpuidle drivers (Jason Baron, Len Brown, Leo Yan). - Fix a couple of minor issues in the OPP framework and clean it up (Arvind Yadav, Fabio Estevam, Sudeep Holla, Tobias Jordan). - Fix and clean up some cpufreq drivers and fix a minor issue in the cpufreq statistics code (Arvind Yadav, Bhumika Goyal, Fabio Estevam, Gautham Shenoy, Gustavo Silva, Marek Szyprowski, Masahiro Yamada, Robert Jarzmik, Zumeng Chen). - Fix minor issues in the system suspend and hibernation core, in power management documentation and in the AVS (Adaptive Voltage Scaling) framework (Helge Deller, Himanshu Jha, Joe Perches, Rafael Wysocki). - Fix some issues in the cpupower utility and document that Shuah Khan is going to maintain it going forward (Prarit Bhargava, Shuah Khan)" * tag 'pm-4.15-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (88 commits) tools/power/cpupower: add libcpupower.so.0.0.1 to .gitignore tools/power/cpupower: Add 64 bit library detection intel_idle: Graceful probe failure when MWAIT is disabled cpufreq: schedutil: Reset cached_raw_freq when not in sync with next_freq freezer: Fix typo in freezable_schedule_timeout() comment PM / s2idle: Clear the events_check_enabled flag cpufreq: stats: Handle the case when trans_table goes beyond PAGE_SIZE cpufreq: arm_big_little: make cpufreq_arm_bL_ops structures const cpufreq: arm_big_little: make function arguments and structure pointer const cpuidle: Avoid assignment in if () argument cpuidle: Clean up cpuidle_enable_device() error handling a bit ACPI / PM: Fix acpi_pm_notifier_lock vs flush_workqueue() deadlock PM / Domains: Fix genpd to deal with drivers returning 1 from ->prepare() cpuidle: ladder: Add per CPU PM QoS resume latency support PM / QoS: Fix device resume latency framework PM / domains: Rework governor code to be more consistent PM / Domains: Remove gpd_dev_ops.active_wakeup() callback soc: rockchip: power-domain: Use GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP soc: mediatek: Use GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP ARM: shmobile: pm-rmobile: Use GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP ...

+3.1.19. Driver Flags for Power Management
+
+The PM core allows device drivers to set flags that influence the handling of
+power management for the devices by the core itself and by middle layer code
+including the PCI bus type. The flags should be set once at the driver probe
+time with the help of the dev_pm_set_driver_flags() function and they should not
+be updated directly afterwards.
+
+The DPM_FLAG_NEVER_SKIP flag prevents the PM core from using the direct-complete
+mechanism allowing device suspend/resume callbacks to be skipped if the device
+is in runtime suspend when the system suspend starts. That also affects all of
+the ancestors of the device, so this flag should only be used if absolutely
+necessary.
+
+The DPM_FLAG_SMART_PREPARE flag instructs the PCI bus type to only return a
+positive value from pci_pm_prepare() if the ->prepare callback provided by the
+driver of the device returns a positive value. That allows the driver to opt
+out from using the direct-complete mechanism dynamically.
+
+The DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND flag tells the PCI bus type that from the driver's
+perspective the device can be safely left in runtime suspend during system
+suspend. That causes pci_pm_suspend(), pci_pm_freeze() and pci_pm_poweroff()
+to skip resuming the device from runtime suspend unless there are PCI-specific
+reasons for doing that. Also, it causes pci_pm_suspend_late/noirq(),
+pci_pm_freeze_late/noirq() and pci_pm_poweroff_late/noirq() to return early
+if the device remains in runtime suspend in the beginning of the "late" phase
+of the system-wide transition under way. Moreover, if the device is in
+runtime suspend in pci_pm_resume_noirq() or pci_pm_restore_noirq(), its runtime
+power management status will be changed to "active" (as it is going to be put
+into D0 going forward), but if it is in runtime suspend in pci_pm_thaw_noirq(),
+the function will set the power.direct_complete flag for it (to make the PM core
+skip the subsequent "thaw" callbacks for it) and return.
