094d05dc32 mac80211: Fix HT channel selection
HT management is done differently for AP and STA modes, unify
to just the ->config() callback since HT is fundamentally a
PHY property and cannot be per-BSS.

Rename enum nl80211_sec_chan_offset as nl80211_channel_type to denote
the channel type ( NO_HT, HT20, HT40+, HT40- ).

d4d9cd0338 ALSA: hda - Add probe_only option
Added probe_only module option to hd-audio driver.
This option specifies whether the driver creates and initializes the
codec-parser after probing.  When this option is set, the driver skips
the codec parsing and initialization but gives you proc and other
accesses.  It's useful to see the initial codec state for debugging.

The default of this value is off, so the default behavior is as same
as before.

8f55c1e51f ALSA: hda - Remove non-working headphone control for Dell laptops
The previous commit re-enabled hp_nid setup for IDT92HD73*, but
it's unneeded indeed for Dell laptops that have multiple headphones.
Setting the extra hp_nid results in a non-working "Headpohne" mixer
control.  Thus hp_nid should be 0 for these dell models.

Also, the automatic addition of hp_nid should check whether it's
a dual-HP model or not.  For dual-HPs, the pins are already checked
by the early workaround.

100fdaee70 sched: add SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE at MC and CPU level for sched_mc>0
Impact: change task balancing to save power more agressively

Add SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE flag at MC level and CPU level
if sched_mc is set.  This helps power savings and
will not affect performance when sched_mc=0

Ingo and Mike Galbraith have optimised the SD flags by
removing SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE at MC and CPU level.  This
helps performance but hurts power savings since this
slows down task consolidation by reducing the number
of times load_balance is run.

This patch selectively enables SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE flag
only when sched_mc is set to 1 or 2.  This helps power savings
by task consolidation and also does not hurt performance at
sched_mc=0 where all power saving optimisations are turned off.

ad273b32e4 sched: activate active load balancing in new idle cpus
Impact: tweak task balancing to save power more agressively

Active load balancing is a process by which migration thread
is woken up on the target CPU in order to pull current
running task on another package into this newly idle
package.

This method is already in use with normal load_balance(),
this patch introduces this method to new idle cpus when
sched_mc is set to POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE_WAKEUP.

This logic provides effective consolidation of short running
daemon jobs in a almost idle system

The side effect of this patch may be ping-ponging of tasks
if the system is moderately utilised. May need to adjust the
iterations before triggering.

7eb52dfa70 sched: bias task wakeups to preferred semi-idle packages
Impact: tweak task wakeup to save power more agressively

Preferred wakeup cpu (from a semi idle package) has been
nominated in find_busiest_group() in the previous patch.  Use
this information in sched_mc_preferred_wakeup_cpu in function
wake_idle() to bias task wakeups if the following conditions
are satisfied:

        - The present cpu that is trying to wakeup the process is
          idle and waking the target process on this cpu will
          potentially wakeup a completely idle package
        - The previous cpu on which the target process ran is
          also idle and hence selecting the previous cpu may
          wakeup a semi idle cpu package
        - The task being woken up is allowed to run in the
          nominated cpu (cpu affinity and restrictions)

Basically if both the current cpu and the previous cpu on
which the task ran is idle, select the nominated cpu from semi
idle cpu package for running the new task that is waking up.

Cache hotness is considered since the actual biasing happens
in wake_idle() only if the application is cache cold.

This technique will effectively move short running bursty jobs in
a mostly idle system.

Wakeup biasing for power savings gets automatically disabled if
system utilisation increases due to the fact that the probability
of finding both this_cpu and prev_cpu idle decreases.

7a09b1a27b sched: nominate preferred wakeup cpu
Impact: extend load-balancing code (no change in behavior yet)

When the system utilisation is low and more cpus are idle,
then the process waking up from sleep should prefer to
wakeup an idle cpu from semi-idle cpu package (multi core
package) rather than a completely idle cpu package which
would waste power.

Use the sched_mc balance logic in find_busiest_group() to
nominate a preferred wakeup cpu.

This info can be stored in appropriate sched_domain, but
updating this info in all copies of sched_domain is not
practical.  Hence this information is stored in root_domain
struct which is one copy per partitioned sched domain.
The root_domain can be accessed from each cpu's runqueue
and there is one copy per partitioned sched domain.

d5679bd119 sched: favour lower logical cpu number for sched_mc balance
Impact: change load-balancing direction to match that of irqbalanced

Just in case two groups have identical load, prefer to move load to lower
logical cpu number rather than the present logic of moving to higher logical
number.

find_busiest_group() tries to look for a group_leader that has spare capacity
to take more tasks and freeup an appropriate least loaded group.  Just in case
there is a tie and the load is equal, then the group with higher logical number
is favoured.  This conflicts with user space irqbalance daemon that will move
interrupts to lower logical number if the system utilisation is very low.

afb8a9b70b sched: framework for sched_mc/smt_power_savings=N
Impact: extend range of /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings

Currently the sched_mc/smt_power_savings variable is a boolean,
which either enables or disables topology based power savings.
This patch extends the behaviour of the variable from boolean to
multivalued, such that based on the value, we decide how
aggressively do we want to perform powersavings balance at
appropriate sched domain based on topology.

Variable levels of power saving tunable would benefit end user to
match the required level of power savings vs performance
trade-off depending on the system configuration and workloads.

This version makes the sched_mc_power_savings global variable to
take more values (0,1,2).  Later versions can have a single
tunable called sched_power_savings instead of
sched_{mc,smt}_power_savings.

With out this there will potentially be duplicate apicid's populated in the

    ALSA: hda: removed unneeded hp_nid references

    Removed unneeded hp_nid references for 92hd73xx codec family.

This caused the silent output on some Intel desktops due to missing
routing of widget 0x0a and 0x0d.

e057d7aea9 cpumask: add sysfs displays for configured and disabled cpu maps
Impact: add new sysfs files.

Add sysfs files "kernel_max" and "offline" to display the max CPU index
allowed (NR_CPUS-1), and the map of cpus that are offline.

Cpus can be offlined via HOTPLUG, disabled by the BIOS ACPI tables, or
if they exceed the number of cpus allowed by the NR_CPUS config option,
or the "maxcpus=NUM" kernel start parameter.

The "possible_cpus=NUM" parameter can also extend the number of possible
cpus allowed, in which case the cpus not present at startup will be
in the offline state.  (These cpus can be HOTPLUGGED ON after system
startup [pending a follow-on patch to provide the capability via the
/sys/devices/sys/cpu/cpuN/online mechanism to bring them online.])

By design, the "offlined cpus > possible cpus" display will always
use the following formats:

  * all possible cpus online:   "x$"    or "x-y$"
  * some possible cpus offline: ".*,x$" or ".*,x-y$"

where:
  x == number of possible cpus (nr_cpu_ids); and
  y == number of cpus >= NR_CPUS or maxcpus (if y > x).

One use of this feature is for distros to select (or configure) the
appropriate kernel to install for the resident system.

Notes:
  * cpus offlined <= possible cpus will be printed for all architectures.
  * cpus offlined >  possible cpus will only be printed for arches that
  	set 'total_cpus' [X86 only in this patch].
