This patch fixes incorrect handling of the 6lowpan packets that contain
uncompressed IPv6 header.
RFC4944 specifies a special dispatch for 6lowpan to carry uncompressed
IPv6 header. This dispatch (1 byte long) has to be removed during
reception and skb data pointer has to be moved. To correctly point in
the beginning of the IPv6 header the dispatch byte has to be pulled off
before packet can be processed by netif_rx_in().
Test scenario: IPv6 packets are not correctly interpreted by the network
layer when IPv6 header is not compressed (e.g. ICMPv6 Echo Reply is not
propagated correctly to the ICMPv6 layer because the extra byte will make
the header look corrupted).
Similar approach is done for IEEE 802.15.4.

The fixes provided in this patch assigns a valid net_device structure to
skb before dispatching it for further processing.
Scenario #1:
============
Bluetooth 6lowpan receives an uncompressed IPv6 header, and dispatches it
to netif. The following error occurs:
Null pointer dereference error #1 crash log:
[ 845.854013] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
0000000000000048
[ 845.855785] IP: [<ffffffff816e3d36>] enqueue_to_backlog+0x56/0x240
...
[ 845.909459] Call Trace:
[ 845.911678] [<ffffffff816e3f64>] netif_rx_internal+0x44/0xf0
The first modification fixes the NULL pointer dereference error by
assigning dev to the local_skb in order to set a valid net_device before
processing the skb by netif_rx_ni().
Scenario #2:
============
Bluetooth 6lowpan receives an UDP compressed message which needs further
decompression by nhc_udp. The following error occurs:
Null pointer dereference error #2 crash log:
[ 63.295149] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
0000000000000840
[ 63.295931] IP: [<ffffffffc0559540>] udp_uncompress+0x320/0x626
[nhc_udp]
The second modification fixes the NULL pointer dereference error by
assigning dev to the local_skb in the case of a udp compressed packet.
The 6lowpan udp_uncompress function expects that the net_device is set in
the skb when checking lltype.

Pull oower management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"As far as the number of commits goes, ACPICA takes the lead this time,
followed by cpufreq and the device properties framework changes.
The most significant new feature is the debugfs-based interface to the
ACPICA's AML debugger added in the previous cycle and a new user space
tool for accessing it.
On the cpufreq front, the core is updated to handle governors more
efficiently, particularly on systems where a single cpufreq policy
object is shared between multiple CPUs, and there are quite a few
changes in drivers (intel_pstate, cpufreq-dt etc).
The device properties framework is updated to handle built-in (ie
included in the kernel itself) device properties better, among other
things by adding a fallback mechanism that will allow drivers to
provide default properties to be used in case the plaform firmware
doesn't provide the properties expected by them.
The Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework gets new DT bindings
and debugfs support.
A new cpufreq driver for ST platforms is added and the ACPI driver for
AMD SoCs will now support the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device.
The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over.
Specifics:
- Add a debugfs-based interface for interacting with the ACPICA's AML
debugger introduced in the previous cycle and a new user space tool
for that, fix some bugs related to the AML debugger and clean up
the code in question (Lv Zheng, Dan Carpenter, Colin Ian King,
Markus Elfring).
- Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20151218 including a number of
fixes and cleanups in the ACPICA core (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, Labbe
Corentin, Prarit Bhargava, Colin Ian King, David E Box, Rafael
Wysocki).
In particular, the previously added erroneous support for the _SUB
object is dropped, the concatenate operator will support all ACPI
objects now, the Debug Object handling is improved, the SuperName
handling of parameters being control methods is fixed, the
ObjectType operator handling is updated to follow ACPI 5.0A and the
handling of CondRefOf and RefOf is updated accordingly, module-
level code will be executed after loading each ACPI table now
(instead of being run once after all tables containing AML have
been loaded), the Operation Region handlers management is updated
to fix some reported problems and a the ACPICA code in the kernel
is more in line with the upstream now.
- Update the ACPI backlight driver to provide information on whether
or not it will generate key-presses for brightness change hotkeys
and update some platform drivers (dell-wmi, thinkpad_acpi) to use
that information to avoid sending double key-events to users pace
for these, add new ACPI backlight quirks (Hans de Goede, Aaron Lu,
Adrien Schildknecht).
- Improve the ACPI handling of interrupt GPIOs (Christophe Ricard).
- Fix the handling of the list of device IDs of device objects found
in the ACPI namespace and add a helper for checking if there is a
device object for a given device ID (Lukas Wunner).
- Change the logic in the ACPI namespace scanning code to create
struct acpi_device objects for all ACPI device objects found in the
namespace even if _STA fails for them which helps to avoid device
enumeration problems on Microsoft Surface 3 (Aaron Lu).
- Add support for the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device to the ACPI driver
for AMD SoCs (Loc Ho).
- Fix the long-standing issue with the DMA controller on Intel SoCs
where ACPI tables have no power management support for the DMA
controller itself, but it can be powered off automatically when the
last (other) device on the SoC is powered off via ACPI and clean up
the ACPI driver for Intel SoCs (acpi-lpss) after previous attempts
to fix that problem (Andy Shevchenko).
- Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Andy Lutomirski, Colin Ian King,
Javier Martinez Canillas, Ken Xue, Mathias Krause, Rafael Wysocki,
Sinan Kaya).
- Update the device properties framework for better handling of
built-in properties, add support for built-in properties to the
platform bus type, update the MFD subsystem's handling of device
properties and add support for passing default configuration data
as device properties to the intel-lpss MFD drivers, convert the
designware I2C driver to use the unified device properties API and
add a fallback mechanism for using default built-in properties if
the platform firmware fails to provide the properties as expected
by drivers (Andy Shevchenko, Mika Westerberg, Heikki Krogerus,
Andrew Morton).
- Add new Device Tree bindings to the Operating Performance Points
(OPP) framework and update the exynos4412 DT binding accordingly,
introduce debugfs support for the OPP framework (Viresh Kumar,
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz).
- Migrate the mt8173 cpufreq driver to the new OPP bindings (Pi-Cheng
Chen).
- Update the cpufreq core to make the handling of governors more
efficient, especially on systems where policy objects are shared
between multiple CPUs (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix cpufreq governor handling on configurations with
CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC set (Chen Yu).
- Clean up the cpufreq core code related to the boost sysfs knob
support and update the ACPI cpufreq driver accordingly (Rafael
Wysocki).
- Add a new cpufreq driver for ST platforms and corresponding Device
Tree bindings (Lee Jones).
- Update the intel_pstate driver to allow the P-state selection
algorithm used by it to depend on the CPU ID of the processor it is
running on, make it use a special P-state selection algorithm (with
an IO wait time compensation tweak) on Atom CPUs based on the
Airmont and Silvermont cores so as to reduce their energy
consumption and improve intel_pstate documentation (Philippe
Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Update the cpufreq-dt driver to support registering cooling devices
that use the (P * V^2 * f) dynamic power draw formula where V is
the voltage, f is the frequency and P is a constant coefficient
provided by Device Tree and update the arm_big_little cpufreq
driver to use that support (Punit Agrawal).
- Assorted cpufreq driver (cpufreq-dt, qoriq, pcc-cpufreq,
blackfin-cpufreq) updates (Andrzej Hajda, Hongtao Jia, Jacob
Tanenbaum, Markus Elfring).
- cpuidle core tweaks related to polling and measured_us calculation
(Rik van Riel).
- Removal of modularity from a few cpuidle drivers (clps711x, ux500,
exynos) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul
Gortmaker).
- PM core update to prevent devices from being probed during system
suspend/resume which is generally problematic and may lead to
inconsistent behavior (Grygorii Strashko).
- Assorted updates of the PM core and related code (Julia Lawall,
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard, Maruthi Bayyavarapu, Rafael Wysocki, Ulf
Hansson).
- PNP bus type updates (Christophe Le Roy, Heiner Kallweit).
- PCI PM code cleanups (Jarkko Nikula, Julia Lawall).
- cpupower tool updates (Jacob Tanenbaum, Thomas Renninger)"

the intel-pstate driver does not support the ondemand governor and does not
have a valid value in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[x]/cpufreq/cpuinfo_transition_latency. The
intel-pstate driver sets cpuinfo_transition_latency to CPUFREQ_ETERNAL (-1),
the value written into cpuinfo_transition_latency is defind as an unsigned
int so checking the read value against max unsigned int will determine if the
value is valid.

this patch makes two changes to the way that "cpupower
frequancy-info" operates
1. make it so that querying individual values always returns a
message to the user
currently cpupower frequency info doesn't return anything to the user when
querying an individual value cannot be returned
[root@amd-dinar-09 cpupower]# cpupower -c 4 frequency-info -d
analyzing CPU 4:
[root@amd-dinar-09 cpupower]#
I added messages so that each query prints a message to the terminal
[root@amd-dinar-09 cpupower]# ./cpupower -c 4 frequency-info -d
analyzing CPU 4:
no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU
[root@amd-dinar-09 cpupower]#
(this is just one example)
2. change debug_output_one() to use the functions already provided
by cpufreq-info.c to query individual values of interest.

Use sysfs_is_cpu_online(cpu) instead of cpufreq_cpu_exists(cpu) to detect offlined cpus.
Re-arrange printfs slightly to have a consistent output even if you have multiple CPUs
as output and even if offlined cores are in between.

Some sysfs attributes in /sys/power/ should really be read-only,
so add support for that, convert those attributes to read-only

CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC
It is reported that, with CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC=y cpu stays at the
lowest frequency even if the usage goes to 100%, neither ondemand
nor conservative governor works, however performance and
userspace work as expected. If set with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y,
everything goes well.
This problem is caused by improper calculation of the idle_time
when the load is extremely high(near 100%). Firstly, cpufreq_governor
uses get_cpu_idle_time to get the total idle time for specific cpu, then:
1.If the system is configured with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL, the idle time is
returned by ktime_get, which is always increasing, it's OK.
2.However, if the system is configured with CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC,
get_cpu_idle_time might not guarantee to be always increasing,
because it will leverage get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy to calculate the
idle_time, consider the following scenario:
At T1:
idle_tick_1 = total_tick_1 - user_tick_1
sample period(80ms)...
At T2: ( T2 = T1 + 80ms):
idle_tick_2 = total_tick_2 - user_tick_2
Currently the algorithm is using (idle_tick_2 - idle_tick_1) to
get the delta idle_time during the past sample period, however
it CAN NOT guarantee that idle_tick_2 >= idle_tick_1, especially
when cpu load is high.
(Yes, total_tick_2 >= total_tick_1, and user_tick_2 >= user_tick_1,
but how about idle_tick_2 and idle_tick_1? No guarantee.)
So governor might get a negative value of idle_time during the past
sample period, which might mislead the system that the idle time is
very big(converted to unsigned int), and the busy time is nearly zero,
which causes the governor to always choose the lowest cpufreq,
then cause this problem.
In theory there are two solutions:
1.The logic should not rely on the idle tick during every sample period,
but be based on the busy tick directly, as this is how 'top' is
implemented.
2.Or the logic must make sure that the idle_time is strictly increasing
during each sample period, then there would be no negative idle_time
anymore. This solution requires minimum modification to current code
and this patch uses method 2.

Notice that the boost_supported field in struct cpufreq_driver is
redundant, because the driver's ->set_boost callback may be left
unset if "boost" is not supported. Moreover, the only driver
populating the ->set_boost callback is acpi_cpufreq, so make it
avoid populating that callback if "boost" is not supported, rework
the core to check ->set_boost instead of boost_supported to
verify "boost" support and drop boost_supported which isn't
used any more.

In cases where we have many IOs, the global load becomes low and the
load algorithm will decrease the requested P-State. Because of that,
the IOs overheads will increase and impact the IO performances.
To improve IO bound work, we can count the io-wait time as busy time
in calculating CPU busy.
This change uses get_cpu_iowait_time_us() to obtain the IO wait time value
and converts time into number of cycles spent waiting on IO at the TSC
rate. At the moment, this trick is only used for Atom.

The current function to calculate cpu utilization uses the average P-state
ratio (APerf/Mperf) scaled by the ratio of the current P-state to the
max available non-turbo one. This leads to an overestimation of
utilization which causes higher-performance P-states to be selected more
often and that leads to increased energy consumption.
This is a problem for low-power systems, so it is better to use a
different utilization calculation algorithm for them.
Namely, the Percent Busy value (or load) can be estimated as the ratio of the
MPERF counter that runs at a constant rate only during active periods (C0) to
the time stamp counter (TSC) that also runs (at the same rate) during idle.
That is:
Percent Busy = 100 * (delta_mperf / delta_tsc)
Use this algorithm for platforms with SoCs based on the Airmont and Silvermont
Atom cores.

Target systems using different cpus have different power and performance
requirements. They may use different algorithms to get the next P-state
based on their power or performance preference.
For example, power-constrained systems may not want to use
high-performance P-states as aggressively as a full-size desktop or a
server platform. A server platform may want to run close to the max to
achieve better performance, while laptop-like systems may prefer
sacrificing performance for longer battery lifes.
For the above reasons, modify intel_pstate to allow the target P-state
selection algorithm to be depend on the CPU ID.

The dynamic power consumption of a device is proportional to the
square of voltage (V) and the clock frequency (f). It can be expressed as
Pdyn = dynamic-power-coefficient * V^2 * f.
The coefficient represents the running time dynamic power consumption in
units of mw/MHz/uVolt^2 and can be used in the above formula to
calculate the dynamic power in mW.

It is possible to get rid of the timer_lock spinlock used by the
governor timer function for synchronization, but a couple of races
need to be avoided.
The first race is between multiple dbs_timer_handler() instances
that may be running in parallel with each other on different
CPUs. Namely, one of them has to queue up the work item, but it
cannot be queued up more than once. To achieve that,
atomic_inc_return() can be used on the skip_work field of
struct cpu_common_dbs_info.
The second race is between an already running dbs_timer_handler()
and gov_cancel_work(). In that case the dbs_timer_handler() might
not notice the skip_work incrementation in gov_cancel_work() and
it might queue up its work item after gov_cancel_work() had
returned (and that work item would corrupt skip_work going
forward). To prevent that from happening, gov_cancel_work()
can be made wait for the timer function to complete (on all CPUs)
right after skip_work has been incremented.

Currently update_sampling_rate() runs over each online CPU and
cancels/queues timers on all policy->cpus every time. This should be
done just once for any cpu belonging to a policy.
Create a cpumask and keep on clearing it as and when we process
policies, so that we don't have to traverse through all CPUs of the same
policy.

cpufreq governors evaluate load at sampling rate and based on that they
update frequency for a group of CPUs belonging to the same cpufreq
policy.
This is required to be done in a single thread for all policy->cpus, but
because we don't want to wakeup idle CPUs to do just that, we use
deferrable work for this. If we would have used a single delayed
deferrable work for the entire policy, there were chances that the CPU
required to run the handler can be in idle and we might end up not
changing the frequency for the entire group with load variations.
And so we were forced to keep per-cpu works, and only the one that
expires first need to do the real work and others are rescheduled for
next sampling time.
We have been using the more complex solution until now, where we used a
delayed deferrable work for this, which is a combination of a timer and
a work.
This could be made lightweight by keeping per-cpu deferred timers with a
single work item, which is scheduled by the first timer that expires.
This patch does just that and here are important changes:
- The timer handler will run in irq context and so we need to use a
spin_lock instead of the timer_mutex. And so a separate timer_lock is
created. This also makes the use of the mutex and lock quite clear, as
we know what exactly they are protecting.
- A new field 'skip_work' is added to track when the timer handlers can
queue a work. More comments present in code.
