Currently cpufreq and xenpm are out of sync. Fix cpufreq reporting of if turbo mode is enabled or not. Fix xenpm to not decode for tristate, but a boolean.

Modify the cpufreq ondemand governor so that it can get idle and total nsecs from the Xen hypervisor.  Xen uses nsecs to measure idle time, while Linux uses ticks. Other than accounting for that difference, use the same algorithm to calculate idle time as Linux does.

Some versions of GCC are too stupid to figure out that cpufreq_dom is only used if !!domexist and always set in that case, and complain that it may be used uninitialised. (In general it is IMO better to avoid these kind of flag variables; I would prefer structures like for (...) { cpufreq_dom = dom; if (...) goto cpufreq_dom_found; } cpufreq_dom = 0; cpufreq_dom_found: but on

Modify the cpufreq ondemand governor so that it can get idle and total ticks from the Xen hypervisor. Linux and Xen have different ideas of what an idle tick is, so the Xen values for both have to be returned in the same platform hypercall. Otherwise, use basically the same scheme as native Linux.

struct cpufreq_policy, including a cpumask_t member, gets copied in cpufreq_limit_change(), cpufreq_add_cpu(), set_cpufreq_gov(), and set_cpufreq_para(). Make the member a cpumask_var_t, thus reducing the amount of data needing copying (particularly with large NR_CPUS).

Currently, enable/disable turbo mode on AMD is broken: $ xenpm enable-turbo-mode 0 <-- works and proper CPU MSR bit is set $ xenpm enable-turbo-mode 1 <-- silently broken, MSR bit not set Since ->turbo is per policy, when user requests to enable/disable turbo mode, we need to set the bit in all of the ->cpus that this policy affects. --- xen/arch/x86/acpi/cpufreq/powernow.c | 2

This fixes an actual bug (failure to exit from a function after an allocation failure), an inconsistency (not removing the cpufreq_dom list member upon failure), and a latent bug (not clearing the current governor upon governor initialization failure when there was no old one; latent because the only current code path leading to this situation frees the policy upon failure and hence the governor

Another bundle of issues from Coverity triage. The first one is in x86/mm, and looks scarier than it is. The others are all in xen/drivers and AFAICT are pretty minor. Cheers, Tim.
