Merge tag 'pm-3.15-final' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull intel pstate fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Final power management fixes for 3.15

   - Taking non-idle time into account when calculating core busy time
     was a mistake and led to a performance regression.  Since the
     problem it was supposed to address is now taken care of in a
     different way, we don't need to do it any more, so drop the
     non-idle time tracking from intel_pstate.  Dirk Brandewie.

   - Changing to fixed point math throughout the busy calculation
     introduced rounding errors that adversely affect the accuracy of
     intel_pstate's computations.  Fix from Dirk Brandewie.

   - The PID controller algorithm used by intel_pstate assumes that the
     time interval between two adjacent samples will always be the same
     which is not the case for deferable timers (used by intel_pstate)
     when the system is idle.  This leads to inaccurate predictions and
     artificially increases convergence times for the minimum P-state.
     Fix from Dirk Brandewie.

   - intel_pstate carries out computations using 32-bit variables that
     may overflow for large enough values of APERF/MPERF.  Switch to
     using 64-bit variables for computations, from Doug Smythies"
