Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: 1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) subsystem rework and introduction of Intel Thunderbolt support on systems that use ACPI for signalling Thunderbolt hotplug events. This also should make ACPIPHP work in some cases in which it was known to have problems. From Rafael J Wysocki, Mika Westerberg and Kirill A Shutemov. 2) ACPI core code cleanups and dock station support cleanups from Jiang Liu and Rafael J Wysocki. 3) Fixes for locking problems related to ACPI device hotplug from Rafael J Wysocki. 4) ACPICA update to version 20130725 includig fixes, cleanups, support for more than 256 GPEs per GPE block and a change to make the ACPI PM Timer optional (we've seen systems without the PM Timer in the field already). One of the fixes, related to the DeRefOf operator, is necessary to prevent some Windows 8 oriented AML from causing problems to happen. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, and Jung-uk Kim. 5) Removal of the old and long deprecated /proc/acpi/event interface and related driver changes from Thomas Renninger. 6) ACPI and Xen changes to make the reduced hardware sleep work with the latter from Ben Guthro. 7) ACPI video driver cleanups and a blacklist of systems that should not tell the BIOS that they are compatible with Windows 8 (or ACPI backlight and possibly other things will not work on them). From Felipe Contreras. 8) Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Aaron Lu, Hanjun Guo, Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan, Lan Tianyu, Sachin Kamat, Tang Chen, Toshi Kani, and Wei Yongjun. 9) cpufreq ondemand governor target frequency selection change to reduce oscillations between min and max frequencies (essentially, it causes the governor to choose target frequencies proportional to load) from Stratos Karafotis. 10) cpufreq fixes allowing sysfs attributes file permissions to be preserved over suspend/resume cycles Srivatsa S Bhat. 11) Removal of Device Tree parsing for CPU device nodes from multiple cpufreq drivers that required some changes related to of_get_cpu_node() to be made in a few architectures and in the driver core. From Sudeep KarkadaNagesha. 12) cpufreq core fixes and cleanups related to mutual exclusion and driver module references from Viresh Kumar, Lukasz Majewski and Rafael J Wysocki. 13) Assorted cpufreq fixes and cleanups from Amit Daniel Kachhap, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Hanjun Guo, Jingoo Han, Joseph Lo, Julia Lawall, Li Zhong, Mark Brown, Sascha Hauer, Stephen Boyd, Stratos Karafotis, and Viresh Kumar. 14) Fixes to prevent race conditions in coupled cpuidle from happening from Colin Cross. 15) cpuidle core fixes and cleanups from Daniel Lezcano and Tuukka Tikkanen. 16) Assorted cpuidle fixes and cleanups from Daniel Lezcano, Geert Uytterhoeven, Jingoo Han, Julia Lawall, Linus Walleij, and Sahara. 17) System sleep tracing changes from Todd E Brandt and Shuah Khan. 18) PNP subsystem conversion to using struct dev_pm_ops for power management from Shuah Khan. * tag 'pm+acpi-3.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (217 commits) cpufreq: Don't use smp_processor_id() in preemptible context cpuidle: coupled: fix race condition between pokes and safe state cpuidle: coupled: abort idle if pokes are pending cpuidle: coupled: disable interrupts after entering safe state ACPI / hotplug: Remove containers synchronously driver core / ACPI: Avoid device hot remove locking issues cpufreq: governor: Fix typos in comments cpufreq: governors: Remove duplicate check of target freq in supported range cpufreq: Fix timer/workqueue corruption due to double queueing ACPI / EC: Add ASUSTEK L4R to quirk list in order to validate ECDT ACPI / thermal: Add check of "_TZD" availability and evaluating result cpufreq: imx6q: Fix clock enable balance ACPI: blacklist win8 OSI for buggy laptops cpufreq: tegra: fix the wrong clock name cpuidle: Change struct menu_device field types cpuidle: Add a comment warning about possible overflow cpuidle: Fix variable domains in get_typical_interval() cpuidle: Fix menu_device->intervals type cpuidle: CodingStyle: Break up multiple assignments on single line cpuidle: Check called function parameter in get_typical_interval() ...

acpi_osi= [HW,ACPI] Modify list of supported OS interface strings
- acpi_osi="string1" # add string1 -- only one string

+ acpi_osi="!string2" # remove string2
+ acpi_osi=!* # remove all strings

acpi_osi= # disable all strings
+ 'acpi_osi=!' can be used in combination with single or
+ multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific OS
+ vendor string(s). Note that such command can only
+ affect the default state of the OS vendor strings, thus
+ it cannot affect the default state of the feature group
+ strings and the current state of the OS vendor strings,
+ specifying it multiple times through kernel command line
+ is meaningless. This command is useful when one do not
+ care about the state of the feature group strings which
+ should be controlled by the OSPM.
+ Examples:
+ 1. 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' is equivalent
+ to 'acpi_osi="Windows 2000" acpi_osi=!', they all
+ can make '_OSI("Windows 2000")' TRUE.
+
+ 'acpi_osi=' cannot be used in combination with other
+ 'acpi_osi=' command lines, the _OSI method will not
+ exist in the ACPI namespace. NOTE that such command can
+ only affect the _OSI support state, thus specifying it
+ multiple times through kernel command line is also
+ meaningless.
+ Examples:
+ 1. 'acpi_osi=' can make 'CondRefOf(_OSI, Local1)'
+ FALSE.
+
+ 'acpi_osi=!*' can be used in combination with single or
+ multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific
+ string(s). Note that such command can affect the
+ current state of both the OS vendor strings and the
+ feature group strings, thus specifying it multiple times
+ through kernel command line is meaningful. But it may
+ still not able to affect the final state of a string if
+ there are quirks related to this string. This command
+ is useful when one want to control the state of the
+ feature group strings to debug BIOS issues related to
+ the OSPM features.
+ Examples:
+ 1. 'acpi_osi="Module Device" acpi_osi=!*' can make
+ '_OSI("Module Device")' FALSE.
+ 2. 'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Module Device"' can make
+ '_OSI("Module Device")' TRUE.
+ 3. 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' is
