Pull smp hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is the next part of the hotplug rework.

   - Convert all notifiers with a priority assigned

   - Convert all CPU_STARTING/DYING notifiers

     The final removal of the STARTING/DYING infrastructure will happen
     when the merge window closes.

  Another 700 hundred line of unpenetrable maze gone :)"

<title>ACPI / processor_idle: Add support for Low Power Idle(LPI) states</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a36a7fecfe6071732075ad5aa31196adce13181b</id>
<content type='text'>
ACPI 6.0 introduced an optional object _LPI that provides an alternate
method to describe Low Power Idle states. It defines the local power
states for each node in a hierarchical processor topology. The OSPM can
use _LPI object to select a local power state for each level of processor
hierarchy in the system. They used to produce a composite power state
request that is presented to the platform by the OSPM.

Since multiple processors affect the idle state for any non-leaf hierarchy
node, coordination of idle state requests between the processors is
required. ACPI supports two different coordination schemes: Platform
coordinated and  OS initiated.

This patch adds initial support for Platform coordination scheme of LPI.

<title>ACPI/processor: Avoid STARTING/DYING actions in a more logical way</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e1272f541c6ad476426ef24b56b4e1d3403db513</id>
<content type='text'>
As part of the hotplug cleanup, the CPU_STARTING/DYING actions are going
away soon.  This driver needlessly uses those two macro, and so this patch
replaces that code with something more sensible.

Commit:

  8da8373447d6a57a5a9f55233d35beb15d92d0d2 ("ACPI / processor: Fix STARTING/DYING action in acpi_cpu_soft_notify()")

added checks for those two actions, because the notification callback can
sleep, causing a hung CPU. This patch instead checks for the ONLINE/DEAD
actions, which are the ones that are handled by the driver in the first
place.

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.

The processor cooling device is no longer present for passive thermal
control.

Commit 239708a3af44 ("ACPI: Split out ACPI PSS from ACPI Processor driver")
moved the processing to a new function acpi_pss_perf_init(), but
missed "return 0" after successful creation.  This causes the error
handling functions to be called, which will delete the previously
created processor cooling device.

CPU specific performance capabilities.

<content type='text'>
The ACPI processor driver is currently tied too closely
to the ACPI P-states (PSS) and other related constructs
for controlling CPU performance.

The newer ACPI specification (v5.1 onwards) introduces
alternative methods to PSS. These new mechanisms are
described within each ACPI Processor object and so they
need to be scanned whenever a new Processor object is detected.
This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol to allow for
finer configurability among the two options for controlling
performance states. There is no change in functionality and
the option is auto-selected by the architectures which support it.

A future commit will introduce support for CPPC: A newer method of
controlling CPU performance. The OS is not expected to support
CPPC and PSS at the same time, so the Kconfig option lets us make
the two mutually exclusive at compile time.

The processor_handler structure does not reference any __init / __exit
code or data. Therefore the __refdata annotation is not needed. It used
to be prior to commit fe7bf106ebc2 ("acpi: delete __cpuinit usage from
all acpi files") due to the __cpuinit annotation of acpi_processor_add().
But with that commit in place that requirement has gone.

The same is true for the acpi_cpu_notifier notifier block.
acpi_cpu_soft_notify() used to be marked __cpuinit but lost its
annotation in the above mentioned commit as well. Therefore the __refdata
annotation isn't needed there either.

Just drop the unneded __refdata annotations to be able to catch future
section mismatches.
