Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle: move field disable from per-driver to per-cpu

From: ShuoX Liu <[email protected]>

Andrew J.Schorr raises a question. When he changes the disable setting
on a single CPU, it affects all the other CPUs. Basically, currently,
the disable field is per-driver instead of per-cpu. All the C states of
the same driver are shared by all CPU in the same machine.

Below patch changes field disable to per-cpu, so we could set this
separately for each cpu.

Thanks. I have not tested this, but it looks very useful to have the
flexibility to disable certain C states on a subset of the cores. The current
implementation affecting all cores is much less powerful.

Thanks,

This would help us have asymmetric C-states on cpus.

hrmpf. We're using 64 bits for this where one bit would do, afaict
because the magic macros in drivers/cpuidle/sysfs.c are using %llu.

Andrew,

You are right. It's just to reuse current functions, which show 64bit usage/time. Should we add 2 new macros to define new functions for int?
