Currently intel_idle driver gets the c-state information from ACPI
_CST if the processor model is not recognized by it. However the
c-state in _CST starts with index 1 which is different from the
index in intel_idle driver's internal c-state table.
While intel_idle_max_cstate_reached() was previously introduced to
deal with intel_idle driver's internal c-state table, re-using
this function directly on _CST is incorrect.
Fix this by subtracting 1 from the index when checking max_cstate
in the _CST case.
For example, append intel_idle.max_cstate=1 in boot command line,
Before the patch:
grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state*/name
POLL
After the patch:
grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state*/name
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state0/name:POLL
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state1/name:C1_ACPI

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
