cxl: Fix PSL timebase synchronization detection

2016-02-29T10:36:00Z

The PSL timebase synchronization is seemingly failing for configuration not including VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE. The driver shows the following trace in dmesg: PSL: Timebase sync: giving up! The PSL timebase register is actually syncing correctly, but the cxl driver is not detecting it. Fix is to use the proper timebase-to-time conversion.

Pull more power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This includes fixes on top of the previous batch of PM+ACPI updates and some new material as well. From the new material perspective the most significant are the driver core changes that should allow USB devices to stay suspended over system suspend/resume cycles if they have been runtime-suspended already beforehand. Apart from that, ACPICA is updated to upstream revision 20160108 (cosmetic mostly, but including one fixup on top of the previous ACPICA update) and there are some devfreq updates the didn't make it before (due to timing). A few recent regressions are fixed, most importantly in the cpuidle menu governor and in the ACPI backlight driver and some x86 platform drivers depending on it. Some more bugs are fixed and cleanups are made on top of that. Specifics: - Modify the driver core and the USB subsystem to allow USB devices to stay suspended over system suspend/resume cycles if they have been runtime-suspended already beforehand and fix some bugs on top of these changes (Tomeu Vizoso, Rafael Wysocki). - Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20160108, including updates of the ACPICA's copyright notices, a code fixup resulting from a regression fix that was necessary in the upstream code only (the regression fixed by it has never been present in Linux) and a compiler warning fix (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng). - Fix a recent regression in the cpuidle menu governor that broke it on practically all architectures other than x86 and make a couple of optimizations on top of that fix (Rafael Wysocki). - Clean up the selection of cpuidle governors depending on whether or not the kernel is configured for tickless systems (Jean Delvare). - Revert a recent commit that introduced a regression in the ACPI backlight driver, address the problem it attempted to fix in a different way and revert one more cosmetic change depending on the problematic commit (Hans de Goede). - Add two more ACPI backlight quirks (Hans de Goede). - Fix a few minor problems in the core devfreq code, clean it up a bit and update the MAINTAINERS information related to it (Chanwoo Choi, MyungJoo Ham). - Improve an error message in the ACPI fan driver (Andy Lutomirski). - Fix a recent build regression in the cpupower tool (Shreyas Prabhu)" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.5-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (32 commits) cpuidle: menu: Avoid pointless checks in menu_select() sched / idle: Drop default_idle_call() fallback from call_cpuidle() cpupower: Fix build error in cpufreq-info cpuidle: Don't enable all governors by default cpuidle: Default to ladder governor on ticking systems time: nohz: Expose tick_nohz_enabled ACPICA: Update version to 20160108 ACPICA: Silence a -Wbad-function-cast warning when acpi_uintptr_t is 'uintptr_t' ACPICA: Additional 2016 copyright changes ACPICA: Reduce regression fix divergence from upstream ACPICA ACPI / video: Add disable_backlight_sysfs_if quirk for the Toshiba Satellite R830 ACPI / video: Revert "thinkpad_acpi: Use acpi_video_handles_brightness_key_presses()" ACPI / video: Document acpi_video_handles_brightness_key_presses() a bit ACPI / video: Fix using an uninitialized mutex / list_head in acpi_video_handles_brightness_key_presses() ACPI / video: Revert "ACPI / video: driver must be registered before checking for keypresses" ACPI / fan: Improve acpi_device_update_power error message ACPI / video: Add disable_backlight_sysfs_if quirk for the Toshiba Portege R700 cpuidle: menu: Fix menu_select() for CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START == 0 MAINTAINERS: Add devfreq-event entry MAINTAINERS: Add missing git repository and directory for devfreq ...
