- Eliminate significant AML processing overhead related to using
operation regions in system memory by reworking the management
of memory mappings in the ACPI code to defer unmap operations
(to do them outside of the ACPICA locks, among other things) and
making the memory operation reagion handler avoid releasing memory
mappings created by it too early (Rafael Wysocki).
- Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision
20200717:
* Prevent operation region reference counts from overflowing in
some cases (Erik Kaneda).
* Replace one-element array with flexible-array (Gustavo A. R.
Silva).
- Fix ACPI PCI hotplug reference counting (Rafael Wysocki).
- Drop last bits of the ACPI procfs interface (Thomas Renninger).
- Drop some redundant checks from the code parsing ACPI tables
related to NUMA (Hanjun Guo).
- Avoid redundant object evaluation in the ACPI device properties
handling code (Heikki Krogerus).
- Avoid unecessary memory overhead related to storing the signatures
of the ACPI tables recognized by the kernel (Ard Biesheuvel).
- Add missing newline characters when printing module parameter
values in some places (Xiongfeng Wang).
- Update the link to the ACPI specifications in some places (Tiezhu
Yang).
- Use the fallthrough pseudo-keyword in the ACPI code (Gustavo A. R.
Silva).
- Drop redundant variable initialization from the APEI code (Colin
Ian King).
- Drop uninitialized_var() from the ACPI PAD driver (Jason Yan).
- Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones in the ACPI code (Alexander A.
Klimov).

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These eliminate significant AML processing overhead related to using
operation regions in system memory, update the ACPICA code in the
kernel to upstream revision 20200717 (including a fix to prevent
operation region reference counts from overflowing in some cases),
remove the last bits of the (long deprecated) ACPI procfs interface
and do some assorted cleanups.
Specifics:

README
The cpupower package consists of the following elements:
requirements
------------
On x86 pciutils is needed at runtime (-lpci).
For compilation pciutils-devel (pci/pci.h) and a gcc version
providing cpuid.h is needed.
For both it's not explicitly checked for (yet).
libcpupower
----------
"libcpupower" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace
tools and programs to the cpufreq core and drivers in the Linux kernel. This
allows for code reduction in userspace tools, a clean implementation of
the interaction to the cpufreq core, and support for both the sysfs and proc
interfaces [depending on configuration, see below].
compilation and installation
----------------------------
make
su
make install
should suffice on most systems. It builds libcpupower to put in
/usr/lib; cpupower, cpufreq-bench_plot.sh to put in /usr/bin; and
cpufreq-bench to put in /usr/sbin. If you want to set up the paths
differently and/or want to configure the package to your specific
needs, you need to open "Makefile" with an editor of your choice and
edit the block marked CONFIGURATION.
THANKS
------
Many thanks to Mattia Dongili who wrote the autotoolization and
libtoolization, the manpages and the italian language file for cpupower;
to Dave Jones for his feedback and his dump_psb tool; to Bruno Ducrot for his
powernow-k8-decode and intel_gsic tools as well as the french language file;
and to various others commenting on the previous (pre-)releases of
cpupower.
