This reverts commit e088e4c9cdb618675874becb91b2fd581ee707e6.
Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
regression in bug 12826.
Course of action:
- Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
If it isn't, we need to fix that.
- mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
- try again with the removal in six months.
It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable.
(We will turn this off in DMI quirks for multi-chassis systems)
The performance number on a 16-way Nehalem system running

lmbench's "lat_ctx -s 0 2" goes from 0.63 microseconds to
0.59 microseconds - a 6.7% increase in context-switching
performance.
Perfstat of 1 million pipe context switches between two tasks:

The speedup comes straight from the reduction in the instruction
count. sched_clock_cpu() got simpler and the whole workload thus
executes faster.

powernow-k8 driver should always try to get cpufreq info from ACPI.
Otherwise it will not be able to detect the transition latency correctly
which results in ondemand governor taking a wrong sampling rate which will
then result in sever performance loss.
Let the user not shoot himself in the foot and always compile in ACPI
support for powernow-k8.
This also fixes a wrong message if ACPI_PROCESSOR is compiled as a module and
#ifndef CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR
path is chosen.

Impact: Bug fix on UP
Checkin 6ec68bff3c81e776a455f6aca95c8c5f1d630198:
x86, mce: reinitialize per cpu features on resume
introduced a call to mce_cpu_features() in the resume path, in order
for the MCE machinery to get properly reinitialized after a resume.
However, this function (and its successors) was flagged __cpuinit,
which becomes __init on UP configurations (on SMP suspend/resume
requires CPU hotplug and so this would not be seen.)
Remove the offending __cpuinit annotations for mce_cpu_features() and
its successor functions.

boot CPU wouldn't get its vendor specific state like thermal handling
reinitialized. This means the boot cpu wouldn't ever get any thermal

[CPUFREQ] Make ignore_nice_load setting of ondemand work as expected.

For Intel 7400 series CPUs, the recommendation is to use a clflush on the
monitored address just before monitor and mwait pair [1].
This clflush makes sure that there are no false wakeups from mwait when the
monitored address was recently written to.

'ec', 'misc', 'printk' and 'processor' into release
|
|
At this time, the PowerNow! driver for K8 uses an experimentally
derived formula to calculate transition latency. The value it
provides is orders of magnitude too large on modern systems.
This patch replaces the formula with ACPI _PSS latency values
for more accuracy and better performance.
I've tested it on two 2nd generation Opteron systems, a 3rd
generation Operton system, and a Turion X2 without seeing any
stability problems.

kerneloops.org is reporting a lot of these warnings that come due to
vmware not setting up any MTRRs for emulated CPUs:
| Reported 709 times (14696 total reports)
| BIOS bug (often in VMWare) where the MTRR's are set up incorrectly
| or not at all
|
| This warning was last seen in version 2.6.29-rc2-git1, and first
| seen in 2.6.24.
|
| More info:
| http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=mtrr_trim_uncached_memory
Keep a one-liner KERN_INFO about it - so that we have so notice if empty
MTRRs are caused by native hardware/BIOS weirdness.

Impact: re-enable CPUID unmasking on affected processors
As far as I am capable of discerning from the documentation,
MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE should be available for all family 0xf CPUs, as
well as family 6 for model >= 0xd (newer Pentium M).
The documentation on this isn't ideal, so we need to be on the lookout
for errors, still.

Impact: fix boot hang on pre-model-15 Intel CPUs
rdmsrl_safe() does not work in very early bootup code yet, because we
dont have the pagefault handler installed yet so exception section
does not get parsed. rdmsr_safe() will just crash and hang the bootup.
So limit the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE MSR read to those CPU types that
support it.

("x86, xsave: enable xsave/xrstor on cpus with xsave support").
If the CPUID limit bit in MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE is set, clear it to
make all CPUID information available. This is required for some
features to work, in particular XSAVE.

while looking at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541
I realized that the mtrr.show param cannot work, because
the code is processed much too early.
This patch:
- Declares mtrr.show as early_param
- Stays consistent with the previous param (which I doubt
that it ever worked), so mtrr.show=1 would still work
- Declares mtrr_show as initdata

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c is still broken: there's no
allocation of the variable mask, so we pass in an uninitialized cmd.mask
field to drv_read(), which then passes it to the scheduler which then
crashes ...
Switch it over to the much simpler constant-cpumask-pointers approach.

Impact: use new work_on_cpu function to reduce stack usage
Replace the saving of current->cpus_allowed and set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with
a work_on_cpu function for drv_read() and drv_write().
Basically converts do_drv_{read,write} into "work_on_cpu" functions that
are now called by drv_read and drv_write.

This reverts commit 7503bfbae89eba07b46441a5d1594647f6b8ab7d.
Dieter Ries reported bootup soft-hangs and bisected it back to
this commit, and reverting this commit gave him a working system.
The commit introduces work_on_cpu() use into the cpufreq code,
but that is subtly problematic from a lock hierarchy POV: the
hotplug-cpu lock is an highlevel lock that is taken before
lowlevel locks, and in this codepath we are called with the
policy lock taken.
Dieter did not have lockdep enabled so we dont have a nice stack
trace proof for this, but using work_on_cpu() in such a lowlevel
place certainly looks wrong, so we revert the patch.
work_on_cpu() needs to be reworked to be more generally usable.
