From 40e2d7f9b5dae048789c64672bf3027fbb663ffa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Len Brown Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2013 16:44:57 -0500 Subject: x86 idle: Repair large-server 50-watt idle-power regression Linux 3.10 changed the timing of how thread_info->flags is touched: x86: Use generic idle loop (7d1a941731fabf27e5fb6edbebb79fe856edb4e5) This caused Intel NHM-EX and WSM-EX servers to experience a large number of immediate MONITOR/MWAIT break wakeups, which caused cpuidle to demote from deep C-states to shallow C-states, which caused these platforms to experience a significant increase in idle power. Note that this issue was already present before the commit above, however, it wasn't seen often enough to be noticed in power measurements. Here we extend an errata workaround from the Core2 EX "Dunnington" to extend to NHM-EX and WSM-EX, to prevent these immediate returns from MWAIT, reducing idle power on these platforms. While only acpi_idle ran on Dunnington, intel_idle may also run on these two newer systems. As of today, there are no other models that are known to need this tweak.

Since ACPI APEI used to build fine without UEFI (and as far as I know also has no functional depency on it), at least in that case using a reverse dependency is wrong (and a straight one isn't needed). Whether the same is true for ACPI_EXTLOG I don't know - if there is a functional dependency, it should depend on EFI rather than selecting it. It certainly has (currently) no build dependency. Adjust Kconfig and build logic so that the bad dependency gets avoided.
