    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
     "The majority of this material spent some time in linux-next, some of
      it even several weeks.  There are a few relatively fresh commits in
      it, but they are mostly fixes and simple cleanups.
    
      ACPI took the lead this time, both in terms of the number of commits
      and the number of modified lines of code, cpufreq follows and there
      are a few changes in the PM core and in cpuidle too.
    
      A new feature that already got some LWN.net's attention is the device
      PM QoS extension allowing latency tolerance requirements to be
      propagated from leaf devices to their ancestors with hardware
      interfaces for specifying latency tolerance.  That should help systems
      with hardware-driven power management to avoid going too far with it
      in cases when there are latency tolerance constraints.
    
      There also are some significant changes in the ACPI core related to
      the way in which hotplug notifications are handled.  They affect PCI
      hotplug (ACPIPHP) and the ACPI dock station code too.  The bottom line
      is that all those notification now go through the root notify handler
      and are propagated to the interested subsystems by means of callbacks
      instead of having to install a notify handler for each device object
      that we can potentially get hotplug notifications for.
    
      In addition to that ACPICA will now advertise "Windows 2013"
      compatibility for _OSI, because some systems out there don't work
      correctly if that is not done (some of them don't even boot).
    
      On the system suspend side of things, all of the device suspend and
      resume callbacks, except for ->prepare() and ->complete(), are now
      going to be executed asynchronously as that turns out to speed up
      system suspend and resume on some platforms quite significantly and we
      have a few more optimizations in that area.
    
      Apart from that, there are some new device IDs and fixes and cleanups
      all over.  In particular, the system suspend and resume handling by
      cpufreq should be improved and the cpuidle menu governor should be a
      bit more robust now.
    
      Specifics:
    
       - Device PM QoS support for latency tolerance constraints on systems
         with hardware interfaces allowing such constraints to be specified.
         That is necessary to prevent hardware-driven power management from
         becoming overly aggressive on some systems and to prevent power
         management features leading to excessive latencies from being used
         in some cases.
    
       - Consolidation of the handling of ACPI hotplug notifications for
         device objects.  This causes all device hotplug notifications to go
         through the root notify handler (that was executed for all of them
         anyway before) that propagates them to individual subsystems, if
         necessary, by executing callbacks provided by those subsystems
         (those callbacks are associated with struct acpi_device objects
         during device enumeration).  As a result, the code in question
         becomes both smaller in size and more straightforward and all of
         those changes should not affect users.
    
       - ACPICA update, including fixes related to the handling of _PRT in
         cases when it is broken and the addition of "Windows 2013" to the
         list of supported "features" for _OSI (which is necessary to
         support systems that work incorrectly or don't even boot without
         it).  Changes from Bob Moore and Lv Zheng.
    
       - Consolidation of ACPI _OST handling from Jiang Liu.
    
       - ACPI battery and AC fixes allowing unusual system configurations to
         be handled by that code from Alexander Mezin.
    
       - New device IDs for the ACPI LPSS driver from Chiau Ee Chew.
    
       - ACPI fan and thermal optimizations related to system suspend and
         resume from Aaron Lu.
    
       - Cleanups related to ACPI video from Jean Delvare.
    
       - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Al Stone, Hanjun Guo, Lan
         Tianyu, Paul Bolle, Tomasz Nowicki.
    
       - Intel RAPL (Running Average Power Limits) driver cleanups from
         Jacob Pan.
    
       - intel_pstate fixes and cleanups from Dirk Brandewie.
    
       - cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume handling from Viresh
         Kumar.
    
       - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups from Viresh Kumar, Stratos
         Karafotis, Saravana Kannan, Rashika Kheria, Joe Perches.
    
       - cpufreq drivers updates from Viresh Kumar, Zhuoyu Zhang, Rob
         Herring.
    
       - cpuidle fixes related to the menu governor from Tuukka Tikkanen.
    
       - cpuidle fix related to coupled CPUs handling from Paul Burton.
    
       - Asynchronous execution of all device suspend and resume callbacks,
         except for ->prepare and ->complete, during system suspend and
         resume from Chuansheng Liu.
    
       - Delayed resuming of runtime-suspended devices during system suspend
         for the PCI bus type and ACPI PM domain.
    
       - New set of PM helper routines to allow device runtime PM callbacks
         to be used during system suspend and resume more easily from Ulf
         Hansson.
    
       - Assorted fixes and cleanups in the PM core from Geert Uytterhoeven,
         Prabhakar Lad, Philipp Zabel, Rashika Kheria, Sebastian Capella.
    
       - devfreq fix from Saravana Kannan"
