Hi Rafael,
I am working on adding Low Power Idle(LPI) states support that was
recently added in ACPI 6.0. Before introducing the LPI support, here
are few updates and cleanups/reorganisation so that LPI support can be
added to processor_idle module to co-exist with C-state. Few of these
changes also help in enabling ACPI_PROCESSOR on ARM64 which is currently
disabled and few others are just to be consistent.
Regards,
Sudeep

1.9.1
ACPI 6.0 adds support for optional processor container device which may
contain child objects that are either processor devices or other processor
containers. This allows representing hierarchical processor topologies.
It is declared using the _HID of ACPI0010. It may also have _CID of
PNP0A05, which represents a generic container device.
This patch enables the support for these ACPI processor containers.

Similar to the idle, thermal and throttling libraries, always compile
the perflib if CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR is enabled. This not only makes
perflib alligned with other libraries but also helps in some sanity
testing of these ACPI methods even when a particular feature is not
enabled in the kernel configuration.

1.9.1
acpi_processor_sleep is neither related nor used by CPUIdle framework.
It's used in system suspend/resume path as a syscore operation. It makes
more sense to move it to acpi/sleep.c where all the S-state transition
(a.k.a. Linux system suspend/hiberate) related code are present.
Also make it depend on CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM_POWER_STATES_SUPPORT so that
it's not compiled on architecture like ARM64 where S-states are not
yet defined in ACPI.

1.9.1
ACPI 6.0 adds a new method to specify the CPU idle states(c-states)
called Low Power Idle(LPI) states. Since new architectures like ARM64
use only LPIs, introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_ACPI_PROCESSOR_CSTATE to
encapsulate all the code supporting the traditional C-states.
This patch will help to extend the processor_idle module to support
LPI.

I'd prefer that we create a separate kconfig option for this. (perhaps
even default it to 'y'). This library is quite specific to a certain
type of CPU performance management methods (includes _PSS and friends)
which are superseded by CPPC. The OS is not expected to support both
at runtime, so by keeping this a config option, we can then disable it
at compile time when CPPC is enabled. We could couple
processor_throttling, thermal and perflib under this config option
(CONFIG_PSS ?) since they're all under the same CPU performance
management umbrella. Thoughts?
Regards,
Ashwin.

Container device helps support hotplug of nodes, CPUs, and memory,
does this container device ACPI0010 used for the same purpose?
For my understanding, ACPI0010 is used to abstract CPU topology
like cluster, not for hotplug purpose, maybe I missed something,
or you just need this container driver for later use?
Thanks

I agree. CPPC and _PSS are different way of controlling CPU freq,
and I think _PSS may not be used on ARM.

While I agree having a separate config option is good, but I won't
assume _PSS might not be used on ARM as I have seen patches posted on
the list in past to use _PSS on ARM platform[1].

That's correct and the patch isn't.
Thanks!

Thanks Rafael for the clarification.
Just curious if the firmware adds _CID of PNP0A05 to support OS that
don't parse processor containers, will the current code not create
containers using _CID ?

Yes, it will, but you can prevent that from happening by adding a new
scan handler just for ACPI0010 (that may just return 1 from its ->attach
callback and do nothing else).
