Benoit,

Attached is the updated patch. Please test it on your system whenever you get
a chance. ACPI C-states and /proc/acpi/processor/*/power should show similar
numbers with or without this patch. It should not hang as before.

Thanks,
Venki


Below is tha patch to support Processor Native C-state using "mwait"
instruction on Intel processors.

Background:
Newer Intel processors (eg: Core Duo), support processor native C-state using
mwait instructions.
Refer: Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/manuals/253668.htm

Platform firmware exports the support for Native C-state to OS using
ACPI _PDC and _CST methods.
Refer: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI: Interface Specification
http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/302223.htm


With Processor Native C-state, we use 'mwait' instruction on the processor to
enter different C-states (C1, C2, C3). We won't use the special IO ports to
enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter C-state. Overall this
will mean better C-state support.
One major advantage of using mwait for all C-states is, with this and
"treat interrupt as break event" feature of mwait, we can now get
accurate timing for the time spent in C1, C2, .. states.

The patch below adds support for both i386 and x86-64 kernels.

Patch against 2.6.18-rc4.
