Rafael J. Wysocki 6dbf5cea05 cpuidle: menu: Avoid taking spinlock for accessing QoS values
After commit 9908859aca (cpuidle/menu: add per CPU PM QoS resume
latency consideration) the cpuidle menu governor calls
dev_pm_qos_read_value() on CPU devices to read the current resume
latency QoS constraint values for them.  That function takes a spinlock
to prevent the device's power.qos pointer from becoming NULL during
the access which is a problem for the RT patchset where spinlocks are
converted into mutexes and the idle loop stops working.

However, it is not even necessary for the menu governor to take
that spinlock, because the power.qos pointer accessed under it
cannot be modified during the access anyway.

For this reason, introduce a "raw" routine for accessing device
QoS resume latency constraints without locking and use it in the
menu governor.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
