Make a note of the first time we discover the turbo mode has been
disabled by the BIOS, as otherwise we complain every time we try to
update the mode.

Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Additional power management updates.

  These fix a corner-case suspend-to-idle wakeup issue on systems where
  the ACPI SCI is shared with another wakeup source, add a kernel
  command line option to set pm_debug_messages via the kernel command
  line, add a document desctibing system-wide suspend and resume code
  flows, modify cpufreq Kconfig to choose schedutil as the preferred
  governor by default in a couple of cases and do some assorted
  cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Fix corner-case suspend-to-idle wakeup issue on systems where the
     ACPI SCI is shared with another wakeup source (Hans de Goede).

   - Add document describing system-wide suspend and resume code flows
     to the admin guide (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add kernel command line option to set pm_debug_messages (Chen Yu).

   - Choose schedutil as the preferred scaling governor by default on
     ARM big.LITTLE systems and on x86 systems using the intel_pstate
     driver in the passive mode (Linus Walleij, Rafael Wysocki).

   - Drop racy and redundant checks from the PM core's device_prepare()
     routine (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Make resume from hibernation take the hibernation_restore() return
     value into account (Dexuan Cui)"

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Slightly late as I had to rebase mid-week to insert a bug fix:

   - A large series from Nick for 64-bit to further rework our exception
     vectors, and rewrite portions of the syscall entry/exit and
     interrupt return in C. The result is much easier to follow code
     that is also faster in general.

   - Cleanup of our ptrace code to split various parts out that had
     become badly intertwined with #ifdefs over the years.

   - Changes to our NUMA setup under the PowerVM hypervisor which should
     hopefully avoid non-sensical topologies which can lead to warnings
     from the workqueue code and other problems.

   - MAINTAINERS updates to remove some of our old orphan entries and
     update the status of others.

   - Quite a few other small changes and fixes all over the map.

When we are using a system with big.LITTLE HMP
configuration, we need to use EAS to schedule the
system.

As can be seen from kernel/sched/topology.c:

 "EAS can be used on a root domain if it meets all the following conditions:
  1. an Energy Model (EM) is available;
  2. the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag is set in the sched_domain hierarchy.
  3. no SMT is detected.
  4. the EM complexity is low enough to keep scheduling overheads low;
  5. schedutil is driving the frequency of all CPUs of the rd;"

This means that at the very least, schedutil needs to be
available as a scheduling policy for EAS to work on these
systems. Make this explicit by defaulting to the schedutil
governor if BIG_LITTLE is selected.

Currently users of the TC2 board (like me) has to figure these
dependencies out themselves and it is not helpful.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "The bulk is in-kernel pointer authentication, activity monitors and
  lots of asm symbol annotations. I also queued the sys_mremap() patch
  commenting the asymmetry in the address untagging.

  Summary:

   - In-kernel Pointer Authentication support (previously only offered
     to user space).

   - ARM Activity Monitors (AMU) extension support allowing better CPU
     utilisation numbers for the scheduler (frequency invariance).

   - Memory hot-remove support for arm64.

   - Lots of asm annotations (SYM_*) in preparation for the in-kernel
     Branch Target Identification (BTI) support.

   - arm64 perf updates: ARMv8.5-PMU 64-bit counters, refactoring the
     PMU init callbacks, support for new DT compatibles.

   - IPv6 header checksum optimisation.

   - Fixes: SDEI (software delegated exception interface) double-lock on
     hibernate with shared events.

   - Minor clean-ups and refactoring: cpu_ops accessor,
     cpu_do_switch_mm() converted to C, cpufeature finalisation helper.

   - sys_mremap() comment explaining the asymmetric address untagging
     behaviour"

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle are:

   - Various NUMA scheduling updates: harmonize the load-balancer and
     NUMA placement logic to not work against each other. The intended
     result is better locality, better utilization and fewer migrations.

   - Introduce Thermal Pressure tracking and optimizations, to improve
     task placement on thermally overloaded systems.

   - Implement frequency invariant scheduler accounting on (some) x86
     CPUs. This is done by observing and sampling the 'recent' CPU
     frequency average at ~tick boundaries. The CPU provides this data
     via the APERF/MPERF MSRs. This hopefully makes our capacity
     estimates more precise and keeps tasks on the same CPU better even
     if it might seem overloaded at a lower momentary frequency. (As
     usual, turbo mode is a complication that we resolve by observing
     the maximum frequency and renormalizing to it.)

   - Add asymmetric CPU capacity wakeup scan to improve capacity
     utilization on asymmetric topologies. (big.LITTLE systems)

   - PSI fixes and optimizations.

   - RT scheduling capacity awareness fixes &amp; improvements.

   - Optimize the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED constraints code.

   - Misc fixes, cleanups and optimizations - see the changelog for
     details"

<content type='text'>
Modify cpufreq Kconfig to select schedutil as the default governor
if the intel_pstate driver has been selected and SMP support is
enabled (because schedutil depends on SMP).

Also select schedutil as well as the performance governor from the
intel_pstate Kconfig section to ensure the equivalence of the passive
and active mode governor configuration options.
