Larry Finger 1e15f29540 cpufreq / governor: Fix problem with cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative
Since commit 2aacdff entitled "cpufreq: Move common part from governors
to separate file", whenever the drivers that depend on this new file
(cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative) are built as modules, a new
module named cpufreq_governor is created because the Makefile includes
cpufreq_governor.o twice. As drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_governor.c contains no
MODULE directives, the resulting module has no license specified, which
results in logging of a "module license 'unspecified' taints kernel". In
addition, a number of globals are exported GPL only, and are therefore
not available. This fix establishes a new boolean configuration variable
that forces cpufreq_governor.o to be linked into the kernel whenever
either cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative is selected.

Rafał Bilski b5811bc469 cpufreq / Longhaul: Disable driver by default
This is only solution I can think of. User decides if he wants this
driver on his machine. I don't have enough knowledge and time to find
the reason why same code works on some machines and doesn't on others
which use the same, or very similar, chipset and processor.

Konstantin Khlebnikov 56836fb4da cpufreq / stats: fix race between stats allocation and first usage
This patch forces complete struct cpufreq_stats allocation for all cpus before
registering CPUFREQ_TRANSITION_NOTIFIER notifier, otherwise in some conditions
cpufreq_stat_notifier_trans() can be called in the middle of stats allocation,
in this case cpufreq_stats_table already exists, but stat->freq_table is NULL.

Fix cpufreq_gov_ondemand to skip CPU where another governor is used.

The bug present itself as NULL pointer access on the mutex_lock() call,
an can be reproduced on an SMP machine by setting the default governor
to anything other than ondemand, setting a single CPU's governor to
ondemand, then changing the sample rate by writing on:

Rafael J. Wysocki a0e5af3cb8 cpufreq: governors: Fix jiffies/cputime mixup (revisited)
This change was made by commit 8636fd2 (cpufreq: fix jiffies/cputime
mixup in conservative/ondemand governors) before, but then it has
been reverted inadvertently by commit 4471a34 (cpufreq: governors:
remove redundant code).

The changelog of commit 8636fd2's says:

  The function get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy in both the conservative and
  ondemand governors use jiffies_to_usecs to convert a cputime value
  to usecs which gives the wrong value on architectures where cputime
  and jiffies use different units.  Only matters if NO_HZ is
  disabled, since otherwise get_cpu_idle_time_us should already
  return a valid value, and get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy isn't actually
  called.

Since now we have only one common get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy() used by
both governors in question, modify it along the lines of commit
8636fd2 to restore the correct behavior.

governor is written. It used a lot of code from ondemand governor, but copy of

viresh kumar 4b972f0b04 cpufreq / core: Fix printing of governor and driver name
Arrays for governer and driver name are of size CPUFREQ_NAME_LEN or 16.
i.e. 15 bytes for name and 1 for trailing '\0'.

When cpufreq driver print these names (for sysfs), it includes '\n' or ' ' in
the fmt string and still passes length as CPUFREQ_NAME_LEN. If the driver or
governor names are using all 15 fields allocated to them, then the trailing '\n'
or ' ' will never be printed. And so commands like:

root@linaro-developer# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver

Ulf Hansson fdb44464ce cpufreq: db8500: Fetch cpufreq table from platform data
By fetching the table as platform data we do not need the internally
hardcoded cpufreq table anymore.

Moreover the corresponding arm_opp idx2opp table, used for mapping
frequency to correct opp bits is also removed. This due to that the
opp bits is put directly in the index field of the cpufreq table.

Ensure the clock rate that will be used is a valid one before
attempting to scale the voltage.  Currently the driver assumes it has
a valid frequency from the OPP table, but boards using different
system oscillators might not have exact matches with the OPP table,
and result in a failing call to clk_set_rate().

This is particularily bad because the voltage may be scaled even
though the frequency is not.  This will obviously lead to some
unpredictable behavior, especially if the frequency is high and
the voltage is dropped.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1.  A lot of activities this
  round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.

   * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item.  The handling of the
     timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
     cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors.  delayed_work is
     updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
     expected.

   * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
     mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
     timer+work usages.  mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.

     These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
     and behave like timer which is executed with process context.

   * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
     is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
     half-broken under certain circumstances.  This problem doesn't
     exist for non-reentrant workqueues.  While non-reentrancy check
     isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
     across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
     the overhead isn't too high.

     All workqueues are made non-reentrant.  This removes the
     distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
     flush_[delayed_]_work_sync().  The former is now as strong as the
     latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
     execution of any previous queueing on return.

   * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
     hotplug handling significantly.

   * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
     hotplug.

  There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
  tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
  wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

Pull workqueue / powernow-k8 fix from Tejun Heo:
 "This is the fix for the bug where cpufreq/powernow-k8 was tripping
  BUG_ON() in try_to_wake_up_local() by migrating workqueue worker to a
  different CPU.

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47301

  As discussed, the fix is now two parts - one to reimplement
  work_on_cpu() so that it doesn't create a new kthread each time and
  the actual fix which makes powernow-k8 use work_on_cpu() instead of
  performing manual migration.

  While pretty late in the merge cycle, both changes are on the safer
  side.  Jiri and I verified two existing users of work_on_cpu() and

  workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
2012-09-19 11:00:07 -07:00
Tejun Heo 6889125b8b cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPU
powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the
cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the
kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed.  The
function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is
still broken.  Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers
to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring
BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on
fidvid_mutex and sleeps.

It is unclear why this bug is being reported now.  Duncan says it
appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on
3.5.  Bisection seemed to point to 63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool
instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional
change.  Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to
trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting.  Maybe something made
contention on fidvid_mutex more likely?  I don't know.

This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu
isn't the same as the current one.  The code assumes that
cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells
me is the case.

stable: ed48ece27c ("workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using
        system_wq") should be applied before this; otherwise, the
        behavior could be horrible.

The powernow-k8 driver supported a sysfs knob called "cpb", which was
instantiated per CPU, but actually acted globally for the whole
system. To keep some compatibility with this feature, we re-introduce
this behavior here, but:
a) only enable it on AMD CPUs and
b) protect it with a Kconfig switch

I'd like to consider this feature obsolete. Lets keep it around for

Andre Przywara 615b730071 acpi-cpufreq: Add support for disabling dynamic overclocking
One feature present in powernow-k8 that isn't present in acpi-cpufreq
is support for enabling or disabling AMD's core performance boost
technology. This patch adds support to acpi-cpufreq, but also
includes support for Intel's dynamic acceleration.

The original boost disabling sysfs file was per CPU, but acted
globally. Also the naming (cpb) was at least not intuitive.
So lets introduce a single file simply called "boost", which sits
once in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq.
This should be the only way of using this feature, so add
documentation about the rationale and the usage.

A following patch will re-introduce the cpb knob for compatibility
reasons on AMD CPUs.

Per-CPU boost switching is possible, but not trivial and is thus
postponed to a later patch series.
