[PATCH v2 0/3] cpufreq: intel_pstate: trivial improvements

[Jisheng Zhang]

The first patch fixes incorrect placement of __initdata

The second patch is to add __init/__initdata marker to some functions
or varaiables so that we can discard them.

The third patch declares pid_params/pstate_funcs/hwp_active as
__read_mostly, under the fact that they are mostly read and not
written to.


Since v1:
 - add Viresh's ack
 - fix the third patch commit msg: remove duplicated words

Jisheng Zhang (3):
  intel_pstate: Fix incorrect placement of __initdata
  intel_pstate: add __init/__initdata marker to some functions/variables
  intel_pstate: Declare pid_params/pstate_funcs/hwp_active __read_mostly

[PATCH v2 1/3] intel_pstate: Fix incorrect placement of __initdata

[Jisheng Zhang]

__initdata should be placed between the variable name and equal sign
(if there is) for the variable to be placed in the intended section.

[PATCH v2 3/3] intel_pstate: Declare pid_params/pstate_funcs/hwp_active __read_mostly

[Jisheng Zhang]

pid_params is written once by copy_pid_params() during initialization,
and thereafter is mostly read by hot path intel_pstate_update_util().
The read of pid_params gets more after commit a4675fbc4a7a ("cpufreq:
intel_pstate: Replace timers with utilization update callbacks")

pstate_funcs is written once by copy_cpu_funcs() during initialization,
and thereafter is mostly read by hot path intel_pstate_update_util()

hwp_active is written to once during initialization and thereafter is
mostly read by hot path intel_pstate_update_util().

The fact that they are mostly read and not written to makes them
candidates for __read_mostly declarations.
