Merge tag 'pm-5.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "The most significant change here is the extension of the Energy Model to cover non-CPU devices (as well as CPUs) from Lukasz Luba. There is also some new hardware support (Ice Lake server idle states table for intel_idle, Sapphire Rapids and Power Limit 4 support in the RAPL driver), some new functionality in the existing drivers (eg. a new switch to disable/enable CPU energy-efficiency optimizations in intel_pstate, delayed timers in devfreq), some assorted fixes (cpufreq core, intel_pstate, intel_idle) and cleanups (eg. cpuidle-psci, devfreq), including the elimination of W=1 build warnings from cpufreq done by Lee Jones. Specifics: - Make the Energy Model cover non-CPU devices (Lukasz Luba). - Add Ice Lake server idle states table to the intel_idle driver and eliminate a redundant static variable from it (Chen Yu, Rafael Wysocki). - Eliminate all W=1 build warnings from cpufreq (Lee Jones). - Add support for Sapphire Rapids and for Power Limit 4 to the Intel RAPL power capping driver (Sumeet Pawnikar, Zhang Rui). - Fix function name in kerneldoc comments in the idle_inject power capping driver (Yangtao Li). - Fix locking issues with cpufreq governors and drop a redundant "weak" function definition from cpufreq (Viresh Kumar). - Rearrange cpufreq to register non-modular governors at the core_initcall level and allow the default cpufreq governor to be specified in the kernel command line (Quentin Perret). - Extend, fix and clean up the intel_pstate driver (Srinivas Pandruvada, Rafael Wysocki): * Add a new sysfs attribute for disabling/enabling CPU energy-efficiency optimizations in the processor. * Make the driver avoid enabling HWP if EPP is not supported. * Allow the driver to handle numeric EPP values in the sysfs interface and fix the setting of EPP via sysfs in the active mode. * Eliminate a static checker warning and clean up a kerneldoc comment. - Clean up some variable declarations in the powernv cpufreq driver (Wei Yongjun). - Fix up the ->enter_s2idle callback definition to cover the case when it points to the same function as ->idle correctly (Neal Liu). - Rearrange and clean up the PSCI cpuidle driver (Ulf Hansson). - Make the PM core emit "changed" uevent when adding/removing the "wakeup" sysfs attribute of devices (Abhishek Pandit-Subedi). - Add a helper macro for declaring PM callbacks and use it in the MMC jz4740 driver (Paul Cercueil). - Fix white space in some places in the hibernate code and make the system-wide PM code use "const char *" where appropriate (Xiang Chen, Alexey Dobriyan). - Add one more "unsafe" helper macro to the freezer to cover the NFS use case (He Zhe). - Change the language in the generic PM domains framework to use parent/child terminology and clean up a typo and some comment fromatting in that code (Kees Cook, Geert Uytterhoeven). - Update the operating performance points OPP framework (Lukasz Luba, Andrew-sh.Cheng, Valdis Kletnieks): * Refactor dev_pm_opp_of_register_em() and update related drivers. * Add a missing function export. * Allow disabled OPPs in dev_pm_opp_get_freq(). - Update devfreq core and drivers (Chanwoo Choi, Lukasz Luba, Enric Balletbo i Serra, Dmitry Osipenko, Kieran Bingham, Marc Zyngier): * Add support for delayed timers to the devfreq core and make the Samsung exynos5422-dmc driver use it. * Unify sysfs interface to use "df-" as a prefix in instance names consistently. * Fix devfreq_summary debugfs node indentation. * Add the rockchip,pmu phandle to the rk3399_dmc driver DT bindings. * List Dmitry Osipenko as the Tegra devfreq driver maintainer. * Fix typos in the core devfreq code. - Update the pm-graph utility to version 5.7 including a number of fixes related to suspend-to-idle (Todd Brandt). - Fix coccicheck errors and warnings in the cpupower utility (Shuah Khan). - Replace HTTP links with HTTPs ones in multiple places (Alexander A.
