[GIT PULL] More power management updates for v4.17-rc1

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

Hi Linus,

Please pull from the tag

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git \
 pm-4.17-rc1-2

with top-most commit 51798deaffb738ef3bdd4f544b11ce2adaff40f3

 Merge branches 'pm-cpuidle' and 'pm-qos'

on top of commit 38c23685b273cfb4ccf31a199feccce3bdcb5d83

 Merge tag 'armsoc-drivers' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc

to receive additional power management updates for 4.17-rc1.

These include one big-ticket item which is the rework of the idle
loop in order to prevent CPUs from spending too much time in shallow
idle states.  It reduces idle power on some systems by 10% or more
and may improve performance of workloads in which the idle loop
overhead matters.  This has been in the works for several weeks and
it has been tested and reviewed quite thoroughly.

Also included are changes that finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving
frequency table validation from drivers to the core, a few fixes and
cleanups of cpufreq drivers, a cpuidle documentation update and a
PM QoS core update to mark the expected switch fall-throughs in it.

Specifics:

 - Rework the idle loop in order to prevent CPUs from spending too
   much time in shallow idle states by making it stop the scheduler
   tick before putting the CPU into an idle state only if the idle
   duration predicted by the idle governor is long enough.  That
   required the code to be reordered to invoke the idle governor
   before stopping the tick, among other things (Rafael Wysocki,
   Frederic Weisbecker, Arnd Bergmann).

 - Add the missing description of the residency sysfs attribute to
   the cpuidle documentation (Prashanth Prakash).

 - Finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving frequency table validation
   from drivers to the core (Viresh Kumar).

 - Fix a clock leak regression in the armada-37xx cpufreq driver
   (Gregory Clement).

 - Fix the initialization of the CPU performance data structures
   for shared policies in the CPPC cpufreq driver (Shunyong Yang).

 - Clean up the ti-cpufreq, intel_pstate and CPPC cpufreq drivers
   a bit (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki).

 - Mark the expected switch fall-throughs in the PM QoS core (Gustavo
   Silva).

Thanks!
