Merge branch 'drm-fixes' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux

We've accrued a few too many conflicts, but the real reason is that I
want to merge the 100% solution for Haswell concurrent registers
writes into drm-intel-next. But that depends upon the 90% bandaid
merged into -fixes:

commit a7cd1b8fea2f341b626b255d9898a5ca5fabbf0a
Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>
Date: Fri Jul 19 20:36:51 2013 +0100

drm/i915: Serialize almost all register access

Also, we can roll up on accrued conflicts.

Usually I'd backmerge a tagged -rc, but I want to get this done before
heading off to vacations next week ;-)

Conflicts:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_dma.c
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c

v2: For added hilarity we have a init sequence conflict around the
gt_lock, so need to move that one, too. Spotted by Jani Nikula.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the total number of ACPI commits is slightly greater than
the number of cpufreq commits, but Viresh Kumar (who works on cpufreq)
remains the most active patch submitter.

To me, the most significant change is the addition of offline/online
device operations to the driver core (with the Greg's blessing) and
the related modifications of the ACPI core hotplug code. Next are the
freezer updates from Colin Cross that should make the freezing of
tasks a bit less heavy weight.

We also have a couple of regression fixes, a number of fixes for
issues that have not been identified as regressions, two new drivers
and a bunch of cleanups all over.

Highlights:

- Hotplug changes to support graceful hot-removal failures.

It sometimes is necessary to fail device hot-removal operations
gracefully if they cannot be carried out completely. For example,
if memory from a memory module being hot-removed has been allocated
for the kernel's own use and cannot be moved elsewhere, it's
desirable to fail the hot-removal operation in a graceful way
rather than to crash the kernel, but currenty a success or a kernel
crash are the only possible outcomes of an attempted memory
hot-removal. Needless to say, that is not a very attractive
alternative and it had to be addressed.

However, in order to make it work for memory, I first had to make
it work for CPUs and for this purpose I needed to modify the ACPI
processor driver. It's been split into two parts, a resident one
handling the low-level initialization/cleanup and a modular one
playing the actual driver's role (but it binds to the CPU system
device objects rather than to the ACPI device objects representing
processors). That's been sort of like a live brain surgery on a
patient who's riding a bike.

So this is a little scary, but since we found and fixed a couple of
regressions it caused to happen during the early linux-next testing
(a month ago), nobody has complained.

As a bonus we remove some duplicated ACPI hotplug code, because the
ACPI-based CPU hotplug is now going to use the common ACPI hotplug
code.

- Lighter weight freezing of tasks.

These changes from Colin Cross and Mandeep Singh Baines are
targeted at making the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight
operation. They reduce the number of tasks woken up every time
during the freezing, by using the observation that the freezer
simply doesn't need to wake up some of them and wait for them all
to call refrigerator(). The time needed for the freezer to decide
to report a failure is reduced too.

Also reintroduced is the check causing a lockdep warining to
trigger when try_to_freeze() is called with locks held (which is
generally unsafe and shouldn't happen).

- cpufreq updates

First off, a commit from Srivatsa S Bhat fixes a resume regression
introduced during the 3.10 cycle causing some cpufreq sysfs
attributes to return wrong values to user space after resume. The
fix is kind of fresh, but also it's pretty obvious once Srivatsa
has identified the root cause.

Second, we have a new freqdomain_cpus sysfs attribute for the
acpi-cpufreq driver to provide information previously available via
related_cpus. From Lan Tianyu.

Finally, we fix a number of issues, mostly related to the
CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and cpufreq Kconfig options and clean
up some code. The majority of changes from Viresh Kumar with bits
from Jacob Shin, Heiko Stübner, Xiaoguang Chen, Ezequiel Garcia,
Arnd Bergmann, and Tang Yuantian.

- ACPICA update

A usual bunch of updates from the ACPICA upstream.

During the 3.4 cycle we introduced support for ACPI 5 extended
sleep registers, but they are only supposed to be used if the
HW-reduced mode bit is set in the FADT flags and the code attempted
to use them without checking that bit. That caused suspend/resume
regressions to happen on some systems. Fix from Lv Zheng causes
those registers to be used only if the HW-reduced mode bit is set.

Apart from this some other ACPICA bugs are fixed and code cleanups
are made by Bob Moore, Tomasz Nowicki, Lv Zheng, Chao Guan, and
Zhang Rui.

- cpuidle updates

New driver for Xilinx Zynq processors is added by Michal Simek.

Multidriver support simplification, addition of some missing
kerneldoc comments and Kconfig-related fixes come from Daniel
Lezcano.

- ACPI power management updates

Changes to make suspend/resume work correctly in Xen guests from
Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, sparse warning fix from Fengguang Wu and
cleanups and fixes of the ACPI device power state selection
routine.

- ACPI documentation updates

Some previously missing pieces of ACPI documentation are added by
Lv Zheng and Aaron Lu (hopefully, that will help people to
uderstand how the ACPI subsystem works) and one outdated doc is
updated by Hanjun Guo.

- Assorted ACPI updates

We finally nailed down the IA-64 issue that was the reason for
reverting commit 9f29ab11ddbf ("ACPI / scan: do not match drivers
against objects having scan handlers"), so we can fix it and move
the ACPI scan handler check added to the ACPI video driver back to
the core.

A mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers is
introduced by Lan Tianyu to allow some EC-related breakage to be
fixed on some systems.

A spec-compliant implementation of acpi_os_get_timer() is added by
Mika Westerberg.

The evaluation of _STA is added to do_acpi_find_child() to avoid
situations in which a pointer to a disabled device object is
returned instead of an enabled one with the same _ADR value. From
Jeff Wu.

Intel BayTrail PCH (Platform Controller Hub) support is added to
the ACPI driver for Intel Low-Power Subsystems (LPSS) and that
driver is modified to work around a couple of known BIOS issues.
Changes from Mika Westerberg and Heikki Krogerus.

The EC driver is fixed by Vasiliy Kulikov to use get_user() and
put_user() instead of dereferencing user space pointers blindly.

Code cleanups are made by Bjorn Helgaas, Nicholas Mazzuca and Toshi
Kani.

- Assorted power management updates

The "runtime idle" helper routine is changed to take the return
values of the callbacks executed by it into account and to call
rpm_suspend() if they return 0, which allows us to reduce the
overall code bloat a bit (by dropping some code that's not
necessary any more after that modification).

The runtime PM documentation is updated by Alan Stern (to reflect
the "runtime idle" behavior change).

New trace points for PM QoS are added by Sahara
(<keun-o.park@windriver.com>).

PM QoS documentation is updated by Lan Tianyu.

Code cleanups are made and minor issues are addressed by Bernie
Thompson, Bjorn Helgaas, Julius Werner, and Shuah Khan.

- devfreq updates

New driver for the Exynos5-bus device from Abhilash Kesavan.

Minor cleanups, fixes and MAINTAINERS update from MyungJoo Ham,
Abhilash Kesavan, Paul Bolle, Rajagopal Venkat, and Wei Yongjun.

- OMAP power management updates

Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) SmartReflex voltage control driver
updates from Andrii Tseglytskyi and Nishanth Menon."

Driver core: Add offline/online device operations

In some cases, graceful hot-removal of devices is not possible,
although in principle the devices in question support hotplug.
For example, that may happen for the last CPU in the system or
for memory modules holding kernel memory.

In those cases it is nice to be able to check if the given device
can be gracefully hot-removed before triggering a removal procedure
that cannot be aborted or reversed. Unfortunately, however, the
kernel currently doesn't provide any support for that.

To address that deficiency, introduce support for offline and
online operations that can be performed on devices, respectively,
before a hot-removal and in case when it is necessary (or convenient)
to put a device back online after a successful offline (that has not
been followed by removal). The idea is that the offline will fail
whenever the given device cannot be gracefully removed from the
system and it will not be allowed to use the device after a
successful offline (until a subsequent online) in analogy with the
existing CPU offline/online mechanism.

For now, the offline and online operations are introduced at the
bus type level, as that should be sufficient for the most urgent use
cases (CPUs and memory modules). In the future, however, the
approach may be extended to cover some more complicated device
offline/online scenarios involving device drivers etc.

The lock_device_hotplug() and unlock_device_hotplug() functions are
introduced because subsequent patches need to put larger pieces of
code under device_hotplug_lock to prevent race conditions between
device offline and removal from happening.
