As a consequence, the cpuidle states that the SoC is safe to enter can change from idle period to idle period. In addition, the latency and threshold of each cpuidle state can vary, depending on the operating condition when the CPU becomes idle, e.g. the current cpu frequency, the current state of the HW blocks, etc. cpuidle core and the menu governor, in the current form, are geared towards cpuidle states that are static, i.e. the availabiltiy of the states, their latencies, their thresholds are non-changing during run time. cpuidle does not provide any hook that cpuidle drivers can use to adjust those values on the fly for the current idle period before the menu governor selects the target cpuidle state. This patch extends cpuidle core and the menu governor to handle states that are dynamic. There are three additions in the patch and the patch maintains backwards-compatibility with existing cpuidle drivers. 1) add prepare() to struct cpuidle_device. A cpuidle driver can hook into the callback and cpuidle will call prepare() before calling the governor's select function. The callback gives the cpuidle driver a chance to update the dynamic information of the cpuidle states for the current idle period, e.g. state availability, latencies, thresholds, power values, etc. 2) add CPUIDLE_FLAG_IGNORE as one of the state flags. In the prepare() function, a cpuidle driver can set/clear the flag to indicate to the menu governor whether a cpuidle state should be ignored, i.e. not available, during the current idle period. 3) add power_specified bit to struct cpuidle_device. The menu governor currently assumes that the cpuidle states are arranged in the order of increasing latency, threshold, and power savings. This is true or can be made true for static states. Once the state parameters are dynamic, the latencies, thresholds, and power savings for the cpuidle states can increase or decrease by different amounts from idle period to idle period. So the assumption of increasing latency, threshold, and power savings from Cn to C(n+1) can no longer be guaranteed. It can be straightforward to calculate the power consumption of each available state and to specify it in power_usage for the idle period. Using the power_usage fields, the menu governor then selects the state that has the lowest power consumption and that still satisfies all other critieria. The power_specified bit defaults to 0. For existing cpuidle drivers, cpuidle detects that power_specified is 0 and fills in a dummy set of power_usage values.

At least one distro built intel_idle as a module where it lost the init race with ACPI, making it useless. Make intel_idle bool so that if you select it, you will use it. We can restore module capability after cpuidle is enhanced to handle run-time changing of idle drivers.

But that tunable isn't happening, so delete the hook here. With the policy hook gone, the sub-state choice functions do not do anything useful, so delete them from the critical path. To handle sub-states in the future, we will advertise them with dedicated cpuidle_state entries. That is necessary because some of the sub-states will have substantially different properties than their peer sub-states.

It does not support the Intel Core2 processor or earlier. For kernels configured with ACPI, CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=y allows intel_idle to probe before the ACPI processor driver. Booting with "intel_idle.max_cstate=0" disables intel_idle and the system will fall back on ACPI's "acpi_idle". Typical Linux distributions load ACPI processor module early, making CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=m not easily useful on ACPI platforms. intel_idle probes all processors at module_init time. Processors that are hot-added later will be limited to using C1 in idle.

But this is a natural situation, as a native hardware cpuidle driver should be able to bind instead of ACPI, and the ACPI processor driver should be able to handle yielding control of C-states while still handling P-states and T-states. Add a KERN_DEBUG line showing when acpi_idle does successfully register.
