From c705c78c0d0835a4aa5d0d9a3422e3218462030c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2013 13:42:54 -0500 Subject: acpi: Export the acpi_processor_get_performance_info The git commit d5aaffa9dd531c978c6f3fea06a2972653bd7fc8 (cpufreq: handle cpufreq being disabled for all exported function) tightens the cpufreq API by returning errors when disable_cpufreq() had been called. The problem we are hitting is that the module xen-acpi-processor which uses the ACPI's functions: acpi_processor_register_performance, acpi_processor_preregister_performance, and acpi_processor_notify_smm fails at acpi_processor_register_performance with -22. Note that earlier during bootup in arch/x86/xen/setup.c there is also an call to cpufreq's API: disable_cpufreq(). This is b/c we want the Linux kernel to parse the ACPI data, but leave the cpufreq decisions to the hypervisor. In v3.9 all the checks that d5aaffa9dd531c978c6f3fea06a2972653bd7fc8 added are now hit and the calls to cpufreq_register_notifier will now fail. This means that acpi_processor_ppc_init ends up printing: "Warning: Processor Platform Limit not supported" and the acpi_processor_ppc_status is not set. The repercussions of that is that the call to acpi_processor_register_performance fails right away at: if (!(acpi_processor_ppc_status & PPC_REGISTERED)) and we don't progress any further on parsing and extracting the _P* objects. The only reason the Xen code called that function was b/c it was exported and the only way to gather the P-states. But we can also just make acpi_processor_get_performance_info be exported and not use acpi_processor_register_performance. This patch does so. Acked-by: Rafael J.
