83fe27ea53 rcu: Make SRCU optional by using CONFIG_SRCU
SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification
efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.

The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new
Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making
use of SRCU are selected.

If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.

f41f4815f8 cpufreq: Kconfig: Remove architecture specific menu entries
CPUFreq driver's Kconfig entries are added in Kconfig.<arch> files and they are
all included from the main Kconfig file using a menu entry. This creates another
level of (unnecessary) hierarchy within the menuconfig entries.

The problem occurs when there are drivers usable across architectures. Either
their config entry is duplicated in all the supported architectures or is put
into the main Kconfig entry. With the later one, we have menuconfig entries for
drivers at two levels then.

Fix these issues by getting rid of another level of menuconfig hierarchy and
populate all drivers within the main cpufreq menu. To clearly distinguish where
the drivers start from, also add a comment that will appear in menuconfig.

b3a826c05b cpufreq: allow powersave governor as the default without expert mode
The intel_pstate driver only supports the performance and the powersave
governors. With the performance governor ensuring the highest possible
performance settings, userspace tools fail to make any lasting changes.
In order to allow userspace tools to make modifications to the settings,
the powersave governor must be in use. This makes having the powersave
governor as the default convenient for systems where the intel_pstate
driver is being employed. Having to enable expert mode in the kernel
configuration is just a headache for such a trivial task.

This patch applies to all kernel versions 2.6.38 or greater after the
migration from CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT (6a108a14fa). Most
importantly, this applies to kernel versions 3.9 or greater when the
intel_pstate driver was introduced.

bbcf071969 cpufreq: cpu0: rename driver and internals to 'cpufreq_dt'
The naming convention of this driver was always under the scanner, people
complained that it should have a more generic name than cpu0, as it manages all
CPUs that are sharing clock lines.

Also, in future it will be modified to support any number of clusters with
separate clock/voltage lines.

Lets rename it to 'cpufreq_dt' from 'cpufreq_cpu0'.

217886d3f3 cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: fix CPU_THERMAL dependency
5fbfbcd3e8 ("cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: remove dependency on THERMAL and
REGULATOR") was a little too quick in completely removing the dependency
on the THERMAL driver.

The problem is that while there are inline wrappers to turn the thermal
API calls into empty functions, those do not help if the cpu-thermal
driver is a loadable module and cpufreq-cpu0 is builtin.

Since CONFIG_CPU_THERMAL is a bool option that decides whether the cpu
code is built into the thermal module or not, we have to use a dependency
on the thermal driver itself. However, if CPU_THERMAL is disabled, we
don't need the dependency, hence the strange '!CPU_THERMAL || THERMAL'
construct.

5fbfbcd3e8 cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: remove dependency on THERMAL and REGULATOR
cpufreq-cpu0 uses thermal framework to register a cooling device, but doesn't
depend on it as there are dummy calls provided by thermal layer when
CONFIG_THERMAL=n. And when these calls fail, the driver is still usable.

Similar explanation is valid for regulators as well. We do have dummy calls
available for regulator APIs and the driver can work even when those calls
fail.

So, we don't really need to mention thermal and regulators as a dependency for
cpufreq-cpu0 in Kconfig as platforms without support for thermal/regulator can
also use this driver. Remove this dependency.

91466574be Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rzhang/linux
Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
 "This time, the biggest change is the work of representing hardware
  thermal properties in device tree infrastructure.

  This work includes the introduction of a device tree bindings for
  describing the hardware thermal behavior and limits, and also a parser
  to read and interpret the data, and build thermal zones and thermal
  binding parameters.  It also contains three examples on how to use the
  new representation on sensor devices, using three different drivers to
  accomplish it.  One driver is in thermal subsystem, the TI SoC
  thermal, and the other two drivers are in hwmon subsystem.

  Actually, this would be the first step of the complete work because we
  still need to check other potential drivers to be converted and then
  validate the proposed API.  But the reason why I include it in this
  pull request is that, first, this change does not hurt any others
  without using this approach, second, the principle and concept of this
  change would not break after converting the remaining drivers.  BTW,
  as you can see, there are several points in this change that do not
  belong to thermal subsystem.  Because it has been suggested by Guenter
  R that in such cases, it is recommended to send the complete series
  via one single subsystem.

  Specifics:

   - representing hardware thermal properties in device tree
     infrastructure

   - fix a regression that the imx thermal driver breaks system suspend.

   - introduce ACPI INT3403 thermal driver to retrieve temperature data
     from the INT3403 ACPI device object present on some systems.

   - introduce debug statement for thermal core and step_wise governor.

   - assorted fixes and cleanups for thermal core, cpu cooling, exynos
     thrmal, intel powerclamp and imx thermal driver"

with properly defined overheating temperature thresholds.

This option doesn't affect the x86's hardware-driven boost support
in the acpi-cpufreq driver.

77cff5926a cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: add dt node parsing for cooling device properties
This patch changes the cpufreq-cpu0 driver to consider if
a cpu needs cooling (with cpufreq). In case the cooling is needed,
the cpu0 device tree node needs to be properly configured
with cooling device properties.

In case these properties are present,, the driver will
load a cpufreq cooling device in the system. The cpufreq-cpu0
driver is not interested in determining how the system should
be using the cooling device. The driver is responsible
only of loading the cooling device.

Describing how the cooling device will be used can be
accomplished by setting up a thermal zone that references
and is composed by the cpufreq cooling device.

5553f9e26f cpufreq: instantiate cpufreq-cpu0 as a platform_driver
As multiplatform build is being adopted by more and more ARM platforms,
initcall function should be used very carefully.  For example, when
GENERIC_CPUFREQ_CPU0 is built in the kernel, cpu0_cpufreq_driver_init()
will be called on all the platforms to initialize cpufreq-cpu0 driver.

To eliminate this undesired the effect, the patch changes cpufreq-cpu0
driver to have it instantiated as a platform_driver.  Then it will only
run on platforms that create the platform_device "cpufreq-cpu0".

Along with the change, it also changes cpu_dev to be &pdev->dev,
so that managed functions can start working, and module build gets
supported too.

The highbank-cpufreq driver is also updated accordingly to adapt the
changes on cpufreq-cpu0.

1e15f29540 cpufreq / governor: Fix problem with cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative
Since commit 2aacdff entitled "cpufreq: Move common part from governors
to separate file", whenever the drivers that depend on this new file
(cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative) are built as modules, a new
module named cpufreq_governor is created because the Makefile includes
cpufreq_governor.o twice. As drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_governor.c contains no
MODULE directives, the resulting module has no license specified, which
results in logging of a "module license 'unspecified' taints kernel". In
addition, a number of globals are exported GPL only, and are therefore
not available. This fix establishes a new boolean configuration variable
that forces cpufreq_governor.o to be linked into the kernel whenever
either cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative is selected.

2d06d8c49a [CPUFREQ] use dynamic debug instead of custom infrastructure
With dynamic debug having gained the capability to report debug messages
also during the boot process, it offers a far superior interface for
debug messages than the custom cpufreq infrastructure. As a first step,
remove the old cpufreq_debug_printk() function and replace it with a call
to the generic pr_debug() function.

How can dynamic debug be used on cpufreq? You need a kernel which has
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled.

To enabled debugging during runtime, mount debugfs and

$ echo -n 'module cpufreq +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

for debugging the complete "cpufreq" module. To achieve the same goal during
boot, append

	ddebug_query="module cpufreq +p"

as a boot parameter to the kernel of your choice.

6a108a14fa kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

1c2562459f [CPUFREQ] allow ondemand and conservative cpufreq governors to be used as default
Depending on the transition latency of the HW for cpufreq switches, the
ondemand or conservative governor cannot be used with certain cpufreq
drivers.  Still the ondemand should be the default governor on a wide range
of systems.  This patch allows this and lets the governor fallback to the
performance governor at cpufreq driver load time, if the driver does not
support fast enough frequency switching.

Main benefit is that on e.g.  installation or other systems without
userspace support a working dynamic cpufreq support can be achieved on most
systems by simply loading the cpufreq driver.  This is especially essential
for recent x86(_64) laptop hardware which may rely on working dynamic
cpufreq OS support.

f0ec313a89 [CPUFREQ] CPU_FREQ_TABLE shouldn't be a def_tristate
CPU_FREQ_TABLE enables helper code and gets select'ed when it's required.

Building it as a module when it's not required doesn't seem to make much sense.

b9170836d1 [CPUFREQ] Conservative cpufreq governer
A new cpufreq module, based on the ondemand one with my additional patches
just posted.  This one is more suitable for battery environments where its
probably more appealing to have the cpu freq gracefully increase and decrease
rather than flip between the min and max freq's.

N.B. Bruno Ducrot pointed out that the amd64's "do have unacceptable latency
between min and max freq transition, due to the step-by-step requirements
(200MHz IIRC)"; so AMD64 users would probably benefit from this too.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
