cpuidle/x86/perf: fix power:cpu_idle double end events and throw cpu_idle events from the cpuidle layer
Currently intel_idle and acpi_idle driver show double cpu_idle "exit idle"
events -> this patch fixes it and makes cpu_idle events throwing less complex.
It also introduces cpu_idle events for all architectures which use
the cpuidle subsystem, namely:
- arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c
- arch/arm/mach-davinci/cpuidle.c
- arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/cpuidle.c
- arch/arm/mach-omap2/cpuidle34xx.c
- arch/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c (for all cases, not only mwait)
- arch/x86/kernel/process.c (did throw events before, but was a mess)
- drivers/idle/intel_idle.c (did throw events before)
Convention should be:
Fire cpu_idle events inside the current pm_idle function (not somewhere
down the the callee tree) to keep things easy.
Current possible pm_idle functions in X86:
c1e_idle, poll_idle, cpuidle_idle_call, mwait_idle, default_idle
-> this is really easy is now.
This affects userspace:
The type field of the cpu_idle power event can now direclty get
mapped to:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle/stateX/{name,desc,usage,time,...}
instead of throwing very CPU/mwait specific values.
This change is not visible for the intel_idle driver.
For the acpi_idle driver it should only be visible if the vendor
misses out C-states in his BIOS.
Another (perf timechart) patch reads out cpuidle info of cpu_idle
events from:
/sys/.../cpuidle/stateX/*, then the cpuidle events are mapped
to the correct C-/cpuidle state again, even if e.g. vendors miss
out C-states in their BIOS and for example only export C1 and C3.
-> everything is fine.

intel_idle: open broadcast clock event
Intel_idle driver uses CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER
CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_EXIT
for broadcast clock events. The _ENTER/_EXIT doesn't really open broadcast clock
events, please see processor_idle.c for an example. In some situation, this will
cause boot hang, because some CPUs enters idle but local APIC timer stalls.

cpuidle: Rename X86 specific idle poll state[0] from C0 to POLL
C0 means and is well know as "not idle".
All documentation out there uses this term as "running"/"not idle"
state. Also Linux userspace tools (e.g. cpufreq-aperf and turbostat)
show C0 residency which there is correct, but means something totally
else than cpuidle "POLL" state.

ACPI, intel_idle: Cleanup idle= internal variables
Having four variables for the same thing:
idle_halt, idle_nomwait, force_mwait and boot_option_idle_overrides
is rather confusing and unnecessary complex.
if idle= boot param is passed, only set up one variable:
boot_option_idle_overrides
Introduces following functional changes/fixes:
- intel_idle driver does not register if any idle=xy
boot param is passed.
- processor_idle.c will also not register a cpuidle driver
and get active if idle=halt is passed.
Before a cpuidle driver with one (C1, halt) state got registered
Now the default_idle function will be used which finally uses
the same idle call to enter sleep state (safe_halt()), but
without registering a whole cpuidle driver.
That means idle= param will always avoid cpuidle drivers to register
with one exception (same behavior as before):
idle=nomwait
may still register acpi_idle cpuidle driver, but C1 will not use
mwait, but hlt. This can be a workaround for IO based deeper sleep
states where C1 mwait causes problems.

cpuidle: Make cpuidle_enable_device() call poll_idle_init()
The following scenario is possible with the current cpuidle code and
the ACPI cpuidle driver:
(1) acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() is called,
(2) cpuidle_disable_device() is called,
(3) cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs() is called to remove the (presumably
outdated) states info from sysfs,
(3) acpi_processor_get_power_info() is called, the first entry in the
pr->power.states[] table is filled with zeros,
(4) acpi_processor_setup_cpuidle() is called and it doesn't fill the
first entry in pr->power.states[],
(5) cpuidle_enable_device() is called,
(6) __cpuidle_register_device() is _not_ called, since the device has
already been registered,
(7) Consequently, poll_idle_init() is _not_ called either,
(8) cpuidle_add_state_sysfs() is called to create the sysfs attributes
for the new states and it uses the bogus first table entry from
acpi_processor_get_power_info() for creating state0.
This problem is avoided if cpuidle_enable_device()
unconditionally calls poll_idle_init().
