Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Quite a new features are included this time.

First off, the Collaborative Processor Performance Control interface
(version 2) defined by ACPI will now be supported on ARM64 along with
a cpufreq frontend for CPU performance scaling.

Second, ACPI gets a new infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ
chips and clock sources (along the lines of the existing similar
mechanism for DT).

Next, the ACPI core and the generic device properties API will now
support a recently introduced hierarchical properties extension of the
_DSD (Device Specific Data) ACPI device configuration object. If the
ACPI platform firmware uses that extension to organize device
properties in a hierarchical way, the kernel will automatically handle
it and make those properties available to device drivers via the
generic device properties API.

It also will be possible to build the ACPICA's AML interpreter
debugger into the kernel now and use that to diagnose AML-related
problems more efficiently. In the future, this should make it
possible to single-step AML execution and do similar things.
Interesting stuff, although somewhat experimental at this point.

Finally, the PM core gets a new mechanism that can be used by device
drivers to distinguish between suspend-to-RAM (based on platform
firmware support) and suspend-to-idle (or other variants of system
suspend the platform firmware is not involved in) and possibly
optimize their device suspend/resume handling accordingly.

In addition to that, some existing features are re-organized quite
substantially.

First, the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 is
unified and the common code goes into the ACPI core (so as to reduce
code duplication and eliminate non-essential differences between the
two architectures in that area).

Second, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is
reorganized to make the code easier to find and follow.

Next, the cpufreq core's sysfs interface is reorganized to get rid of
the "primary CPU" concept for configurations in which the same
performance scaling settings are shared between multiple CPUs.

Finally, some interfaces that aren't necessary any more are dropped
from the generic power domains framework.

On top of the above we have some minor extensions, cleanups and bug
fixes in multiple places, as usual.

Specifics:

- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).

The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be
built into the kernel. On top of that there is an update related
to the NFIT table (the ACPI persistent memory interface) and a few
fixes and cleanups.

- ACPI CPPC2 (Collaborative Processor Performance Control v2) support
along with a cpufreq frontend (Ashwin Chaugule).

This can only be enabled on ARM64 at this point.

- New ACPI infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and
clock sources (Marc Zyngier).

- Support for a new hierarchical properties extension of the ACPI
_DSD (Device Specific Data) device configuration object allowing
the kernel to handle hierarchical properties (provided by the
platform firmware this way) automatically and make them available
to device drivers via the generic device properties interface
(Rafael Wysocki).

- Generic device properties API extension to obtain an index of
certain string value in an array of strings, along the lines of
of_property_match_string(), but working for all of the supported
firmware node types, and support for the "dma-names" device
property based on it (Mika Westerberg).

- ACPI core fix to parse the MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table)
entries in the order expected by platform firmware (and mandated by
the specification) to avoid confusion on systems with more than 255
logical CPUs (Lukasz Anaczkowski).

- Consolidation of the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86
and ia64 (Jiang Liu).

- ACPI core fixes to ensure that the correct IRQ number is used to
represent the SCI (System Control Interrupt) in the cases when it
has been re-mapped (Chen Yu).

- New ACPI backlight quirk for Lenovo IdeaPad S405 (Hans de Goede).

- ACPI EC driver fixes (Lv Zheng).

- Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Insu Yun, Jiri
Kosina, Rami Rosen, Rasmus Villemoes).

- New mechanism in the PM core allowing drivers to check if the
platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system
suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is
resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki).

This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume handling
in some cases and the changes include a couple of users of it (the
i8042 input driver, PCI PM).

- PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled
from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't
configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki).

- New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up the
system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates).

- Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains
framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that code
(Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano).

- cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that
share performance scaling settings (represented by a common cpufreq
policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar).

This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among
other things.

- cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar).

- intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR)
mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states range
to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas
Pandruvada).

- intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava).

- Assorted cpufreq driver (imx, tegra20, powernv, integrator) fixes
and cleanups (Bai Ping, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Shilpasri G
Bhat, Luis de Bethencourt).

- cpuidle mvebu driver cleanups (Russell King).

- OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework code reorganization to
make it more maintainable (Viresh Kumar).

- Intel Broxton support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limits)
power capping driver (Amy Wiles).

- Assorted power management code fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter,
Geert Uytterhoeven, Geliang Tang, Luis de Bethencourt, Rasmus
Villemoes)"

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"We have a few new features this time, including a new SFI-based
cpufreq driver, a new devfreq driver for Tegra Activity Monitor, a new
devfreq class for providing its governors with raw utilization data
and a new ACPI driver for AMD SoCs.

Still, the majority of changes here are reworks of existing code to
make it more straightforward or to prepare it for implementing new
features on top of it. The primary example is the rework of ACPI
resources handling from Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner and Lv Zheng with
support for IOAPIC hotplug implemented on top of it, but there is
quite a number of changes of this kind in the cpufreq core, ACPICA,
ACPI EC driver, ACPI processor driver and the generic power domains
core code too.

The most active developer is Viresh Kumar with his cpufreq changes.

Specifics:

- Rework of the core ACPI resources parsing code to fix issues in it
and make using resource offsets more convenient and consolidation
of some resource-handing code in a couple of places that have grown
analagous data structures and code to cover the the same gap in the
core (Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner, Lv Zheng).

- ACPI-based IOAPIC hotplug support on top of the resources handling
rework (Jiang Liu, Yinghai Lu).

- ACPICA update to upstream release 20150204 including an interrupt
handling rework that allows drivers to install raw handlers for
ACPI GPEs which then become entirely responsible for the given GPE
and the ACPICA core code won't touch it (Lv Zheng, David E Box,
Octavian Purdila).

- ACPI EC driver rework to fix several concurrency issues and other
problems related to events handling on top of the ACPICA's new
support for raw GPE handlers (Lv Zheng).

- New ACPI driver for AMD SoCs analogous to the LPSS (Low-Power
Subsystem) driver for Intel chips (Ken Xue).

- Two minor fixes of the ACPI LPSS driver (Heikki Krogerus, Jarkko
Nikula).

- Two new blacklist entries for machines (Samsung 730U3E/740U3E and
510R) where the native backlight interface doesn't work correctly
while the ACPI one does (Hans de Goede).

- Rework of the ACPI processor driver's handling of idle states to
make the code more straightforward and less bloated overall (Rafael
J Wysocki).

- Assorted minor fixes related to ACPI and SFI (Andreas Ruprecht,
Andy Shevchenko, Hanjun Guo, Jan Beulich, Rafael J Wysocki, Yaowei
Bai).

- PCI core power management modification to avoid resuming (some)
runtime-suspended devices during system suspend if they are in the
right states already (Rafael J Wysocki).

- New SFI-based cpufreq driver for Intel platforms using SFI
(Srinidhi Kasagar).

- cpufreq core fixes, cleanups and simplifications (Viresh Kumar,
Doug Anderson, Wolfram Sang).

- SkyLake CPU support and other updates for the intel_pstate driver
(Kristen Carlson Accardi, Srinivas Pandruvada).

- cpufreq-dt driver cleanup (Markus Elfring).

- Init fix for the ARM big.LITTLE cpuidle driver (Sudeep Holla).

- Generic power domains core code fixes and cleanups (Ulf Hansson).

- Operating Performance Points (OPP) core code cleanups and kernel
documentation update (Nishanth Menon).

- New dabugfs interface to make the list of PM QoS constraints
available to user space (Nishanth Menon).

- New devfreq driver for Tegra Activity Monitor (Tomeu Vizoso).

- New devfreq class (devfreq_event) to provide raw utilization data
to devfreq governors (Chanwoo Choi).

- Assorted minor fixes and cleanups related to power management
(Andreas Ruprecht, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Rickard Strandqvist, Pavel
Machek, Todd E Brandt, Wonhong Kwon).

- turbostat updates (Len Brown) and cpupower Makefile improvement
(Sriram Raghunathan)"
