Viresh Kumar 955ef48335 cpufreq: Drop rwsem lock around CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT
With the rwsem lock around
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT), we
get circular dependency when we call sysfs_remove_group().

Srivatsa S. Bhat a66b2e503f cpufreq: Preserve sysfs files across suspend/resume
The file permissions of cpufreq per-cpu sysfs files are not preserved
across suspend/resume because we internally go through the CPU
Hotplug path which reinitializes the file permissions on CPU online.

But the user is not supposed to know that we are using CPU hotplug
internally within suspend/resume (IOW, the kernel should not silently
wreck the user-set file permissions across a suspend cycle).
Therefore, we need to preserve the file permissions as they are
across suspend/resume.

The simplest way to achieve that is to just not touch the sysfs files
at all - ie., just ignore the CPU hotplug notifications in the
suspend/resume path (_FROZEN) in the cpufreq hotplug callback.

Viresh Kumar d96038e0fa cpufreq: Issue CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT notifier before dropping policy refcount
We must call __cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT) before
calling cpufreq_cpu_put(data), so that policy kobject have valid
fields. Otherwise, removing last online cpu of policy->cpus causes
this crash for ondemand/conservative governor.

Viresh Kumar 820c6ca293 cpufreq: Don't call __cpufreq_governor() for drivers without target()
Some cpufreq drivers implement their own governor and so don't need
us to call generic governors interface via __cpufreq_governor(). Few
recent commits haven't obeyed this law well and we saw some
regressions.

This patch is an attempt to fix the above issue.

Viresh Kumar e4969ebac8 cpufreq: Call __cpufreq_governor() with correct policy->cpus mask
__cpufreq_governor() must be called with a correct policy->cpus mask.
In __cpufreq_remove_dev() we initially clear policy->cpus with
cpumask_clear_cpu() and then call
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT). If the governor
is doing some per-cpu stuff in EXIT callback, this can create
uncertain behavior.

Generic governors in drivers/cpufreq/ doesn't do any per-cpu stuff
in EXIT callback and so we don't face any issues currently. But its
better to keep the code clean, so we don't face any issues in future.

Now, we call cpumask_clear_cpu() only when multiple cpus are managed
by policy.

Nathan Zimmer 5800043b24 cpufreq: convert cpufreq_driver to using RCU
We eventually would like to remove the rwlock cpufreq_driver_lock or
convert it back to a spinlock and protect the read sections with RCU.
The first step in that direction is to make cpufreq_driver use RCU.
I don't see an easy wasy to protect the cpufreq_cpu_data structure
with RCU, so I am leaving it with the rwlock for now since under
certain configs __cpufreq_cpu_get is a hot spot with 256+ cores.

Viresh Kumar b43a7ffbf3 cpufreq: Notify all policy->cpus in cpufreq_notify_transition()
policy->cpus contains all online cpus that have single shared clock line. And
their frequencies are always updated together.

Many SMP system's cpufreq drivers take care of this in individual drivers but
the best place for this code is in cpufreq core.

This patch modifies cpufreq_notify_transition() to notify frequency change for
all cpus in policy->cpus and hence updates all users of this API.

Viresh Kumar 4d5dcc4211 cpufreq: governor: Implement per policy instances of governors
Currently, there can't be multiple instances of single governor_type.
If we have a multi-package system, where we have multiple instances
of struct policy (per package), we can't have multiple instances of
same governor. i.e. We can't have multiple instances of ondemand
governor for multiple packages.

Governors directory in sysfs is created at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/
governor-name/. Which again reflects that there can be only one
instance of a governor_type in the system.

This is a bottleneck for multicluster system, where we want different
packages to use same governor type, but with different tunables.

This patch uses the infrastructure provided by earlier patch and
implements init/exit routines for ondemand and conservative
governors.

This is a bottleneck for multicluster system, where we want different
packages to use same governor type, but with different tunables.

This patch is inclined towards providing this infrastructure. Because
we are required to allocate governor's resources dynamically now, we
must do it at policy creation and end. And so got
CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_INIT/EXIT.

Dirk Brandewie 9e21ba8bd8 cpufreq: Retrieve current frequency from scaling drivers with internal governors
Scaling drivers that implement the cpufreq_driver.setpolicy() versus
the cpufreq_driver.target() interface do not set policy->cur.

Normally policy->cur is set during the call to cpufreq_driver.target()
when the frequnecy request is made by the governor.

If the scaling driver implements cpufreq_driver.setpolicy() and
cpufreq_driver.get() interfaces use cpufreq_driver.get() to retrieve
the current frequency.

cpufreq_add_dev(), below code is never executed. And so can be removed.

Viresh Kumar 8e53695f7f cpufreq: governors: Fix WARN_ON() for multi-policy platforms
On multi-policy systems there is a single instance of governor for both the
policies (if same governor is chosen for both policies). With the code update
from following patches:

8eeed09 cpufreq: governors: Get rid of dbs_data->enable field
b394058 cpufreq: governors: Reset tunables only for cpufreq_unregister_governor()

We are creating/removing sysfs directory of governor for for every call to
GOV_START and STOP. This would fail for multi-policy system as there is a
per-policy call to START/STOP.

This patch reuses the governor->initialized variable to detect total users of
governor.

"cpufreq" directory in policy->cpu is never created using

Currently, whenever governor->governor() is called for CPUFRREQ_GOV_START event
we reset few tunables of governor. Which isn't correct, as this routine is
called for every cpu hot-[un]plugging event. We should actually be resetting
these only when the governor module is removed and re-installed.

Viresh Kumar fcf8058296 cpufreq: Simplify cpufreq_add_dev()
Currently cpufreq_add_dev() firsts allocates policy, calls
driver->init() and then checks if this CPU is already managed or not.
And if it is already managed, its policy is freed.

We can save all this if we somehow know that CPU is managed or not in
advance.  policy->related_cpus contains the list of all valid sibling
CPUs of policy->cpu. We can check this to see if the current CPU is
already managed.

From now on, platforms don't really need to set related_cpus from
their init() routines, as the same work is done by core too.

If a platform driver needs to set the related_cpus mask with some
additional CPUs, other than CPUs present in policy->cpus, they are
free to do it, though, as we don't override anything.

Viresh Kumar b8eed8af94 cpufreq: Simplify __cpufreq_remove_dev()
__cpufreq_remove_dev() is called on multiple occasions: cpufreq_driver
unregister and cpu removals.

Current implementation of this routine is overly complex without much need. If
the cpu to be removed is the policy->cpu, we remove the policy first and add all
other cpus again from policy->cpus and then finally call __cpufreq_remove_dev()
again to remove the cpu to be deleted. Haahhhh..

There exist a simple solution to removal of a cpu:
- Simply use the old policy structure
- update its fields like: policy->cpu, etc.
- notify any users of cpufreq, which depend on changing policy->cpu

Hence this patch, which tries to implement the above theory. It is tested well
by myself on ARM big.LITTLE TC2 SoC, which has 5 cores (2 A15 and 3 A7). Both
A15's share same struct policy and all A7's share same policy structure.

Viresh Kumar 6954ca9c8b cpufreq: Don't use cpu removed during cpufreq_driver_unregister
This is how the core works:
cpufreq_driver_unregister()
 - subsys_interface_unregister()
   - for_each_cpu() call cpufreq_remove_dev(), i.e. 0,1,2,3,4 when we
     unregister.

cpufreq_remove_dev():
 - Remove policy node
 - Call cpufreq_add_dev() for next cpu, sharing mask with removed cpu.
   i.e. When cpu 0 is removed, we call it for cpu 1. And when called for cpu 2,
   we call it for cpu 3.
   - cpufreq_add_dev() would call cpufreq_driver->init()
   - init would return mask as AND of 2, 3 and 4 for cluster A7.
   - cpufreq core would do online_cpu && policy->cpus
     Here is the BUG(). Because cpu hasn't died but we have just unregistered
     the cpufreq driver, online cpu would still have cpu 2 in it. And so thing
     go bad again.

Solution: Keep cpumask of cpus that are registered with cpufreq core and clear
	  cpus when we get a call from subsys_interface_unregister() via
	  cpufreq_remove_dev().

Paul Gortmaker 43720bd601 PM / tracing: remove deprecated power trace API
The text in Documentation said it would be removed in 2.6.41;
the text in the Kconfig said removal in the 3.1 release.  Either
way you look at it, we are well past both, so push it off a cliff.

Note that the POWER_CSTATE and the POWER_PSTATE are part of the
legacy tracing API.  Remove all tracepoints which use these flags.
As can be seen from context, most already have a trace entry via
trace_cpu_idle anyways.

Also, the cpufreq/cpufreq.c PSTATE one is actually unpaired, as
compared to the CSTATE ones which all have a clear start/stop.
As part of this, the trace_power_frequency also becomes orphaned,
so it too is deleted.

This is because store() in cpufreq.c indirectly calls
kobject_get() via cpufreq_cpu_get() and is the last one to call
kobject_put() via cpufreq_cpu_put(). Sysfs code should not call
kobject_get() or kobject_put() directly (see the comment around
sysfs_schedule_callback() for more information).

Fix this deadlock by introducing two new functions:

	struct cpufreq_policy *cpufreq_cpu_get_sysfs(unsigned int cpu)
	void cpufreq_cpu_put_sysfs(struct cpufreq_policy *data)

which do the same thing as cpufreq_cpu_{get,put}() but don't call
kobject functions.

To easily trigger this deadlock you can insert an msleep() with a
reasonably large value right after the fail label at the bottom
of the store() function in cpufreq.c and then write
scaling_setspeed in one task and offline the cpu in another. The
first task will hang and be detected by the hung task detector.

Afzal Mohammed d08de0c19c [CPUFREQ] update lpj only if frequency has changed
During scaling up of cpu frequency, loops_per_jiffy
is updated upon invoking PRECHANGE notifier.
If setting to new frequency fails in cpufreq driver,
lpj is left at incorrect value.

Hence update lpj only if cpu frequency is changed,
i.e. upon invoking POSTCHANGE notifier.

Penalty would be that during time period between
changing cpu frequency & invocation of POSTCHANGE
notifier, udelay(x) may not gurantee minimal delay
of 'x' us for frequency scaling up operation.

Perhaps a better solution would be to define
CPUFREQ_ABORTCHANGE & handle accordingly, but then
it would be more intrusive (using ABORTCHANGE may
help drivers also; if any has registered notifier
and expect POST for a PRECHANGE, their needs can
be taken care using ABORT)

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the

Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

$ echo -n 'module cpufreq +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

for debugging the complete "cpufreq" module. To achieve the same goal during
boot, append

	ddebug_query="module cpufreq +p"

as a boot parameter to the kernel of your choice.

Jacob Shin 27ecddc2a9 [CPUFREQ] CPU hotplug, re-create sysfs directory and symlinks
When we discover CPUs that are affected by each other's
frequency/voltage transitions, the first CPU gets a sysfs directory
created, and rest of the siblings get symlinks. Currently, when we
hotplug off only the first CPU, all of the symlinks and the sysfs
directory gets removed. Even though rest of the siblings are still
online and functional, they are orphaned, and no longer governed by
cpufreq.

This patch, given the above scenario, creates a sysfs directory for
the first sibling and symlinks for the rest of the siblings.

Please note the recursive call, it was rather too ugly to roll it
out. And the removal of redundant NULL setting (it is already taken
care of near the top of the function).

Rafael J. Wysocki e00e56dfd3 cpufreq: Use syscore_ops for boot CPU suspend/resume (v2)
The cpufreq subsystem uses sysdev suspend and resume for
executing cpufreq_suspend() and cpufreq_resume(), respectively,
during system suspend, after interrupts have been switched off on the
boot CPU, and during system resume, while interrupts are still off on
the boot CPU.  In both cases the other CPUs are off-line at the
relevant point (either they have been switched off via CPU hotplug
during suspend, or they haven't been switched on yet during resume).
For this reason, although it may seem that cpufreq_suspend() and
cpufreq_resume() are executed for all CPUs in the system, they are
only called for the boot CPU in fact, which is quite confusing.

To remove the confusion and to prepare for elimiating sysdev
suspend and resume operations from the kernel enirely, convernt
cpufreq to using a struct syscore_ops object for the boot CPU
suspend and resume and rename the callbacks so that their names
reflect their purpose.  In addition, put some explanatory remarks
into their kerneldoc comments.
