CPUFREQ_ENTRY_INVALID is a special symbol which is used to specify that
an entry in the cpufreq table is invalid. But using it outside of the
scope of the cpufreq table looks a bit incorrect.

We can represent an invalid frequency by writing it as 0 instead if we
need. Note that it is already done that way for the return value of the
->get() callback.

Lets do the same for ->fast_switch() and not use CPUFREQ_ENTRY_INVALID
outside of the scope of cpufreq table.

Also update the comment over cpufreq_driver_fast_switch() to clearly
mention what this returns.

None of the drivers return CPUFREQ_ENTRY_INVALID as of now from
->fast_switch() callback and so we don't need to update any of those.

The goal of this change is to give users a uniform and meaningful
result when they read /sys/...cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
on modern x86 hardware, as compared to what they get today.

Modern x86 processors include the hardware needed
to accurately calculate frequency over an interval --
APERF, MPERF, and the TSC.

Here we provide an x86 routine to make this calculation
on supported hardware, and use it in preference to any
driver driver-specific cpufreq_driver.get() routine.

MHz is computed like so:

MHz = base_MHz * delta_APERF / delta_MPERF

MHz is the average frequency of the busy processor
over a measurement interval.  The interval is
defined to be the time between successive invocations
of aperfmperf_khz_on_cpu(), which are expected to to
happen on-demand when users read sysfs attribute
cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq.

As with previous methods of calculating MHz,
idle time is excluded.

base_MHz above is from TSC calibration global "cpu_khz".

This x86 native method to calculate MHz returns a meaningful result
no matter if P-states are controlled by hardware or firmware
and/or if the Linux cpufreq sub-system is or is-not installed.

When this routine is invoked more frequently, the measurement
interval becomes shorter.  However, the code limits re-computation
to 10ms intervals so that average frequency remains meaningful.

Discerning users are encouraged to take advantage of
the turbostat(8) utility, which can gracefully handle
concurrent measurement intervals of arbitrary length.

There is a report that after commit 27622b06 ("cpufreq: Convert
to hotplug state machine"), the normal CPU offline/online cycle
fails on some platforms.

According to the ftrace result, this problem was triggered on
platforms using acpi-cpufreq as the default cpufreq driver,
and due to the lack of some ACPI freq method (eg. _PCT),
cpufreq_online() failed and returned a negative value, so the CPU
hotplug state machine rolled back the CPU online process.  Actually,
from the user's perspective, the failure of cpufreq_online() should
not prevent that CPU from being brought up, although cpufreq might
not work on that CPU.

BTW, during system startup cpufreq_online() is not invoked via CPU
online but by the cpufreq device creation process, so the APs can be
brought up even though cpufreq_online() fails in that stage.

This patch ignores the return value of cpufreq_online/offline() and
lets the cpufreq framework deal with the failure.  cpufreq_online()
itself will do a proper rollback in that case and if _PCT is missing,
the ACPI cpufreq driver will print a warning if the corresponding
debug options have been enabled.

The cpufreq core only tries to create symbolic links from CPU
directories in sysfs to policy directories in cpufreq_add_dev(),
either when a given CPU is registered or when the cpufreq driver
is registered, whichever happens first.  That is not sufficient,
however, because cpufreq_add_dev() may be called for an offline CPU
whose policy object has not been created yet and, quite obviously,
the symbolic cannot be added in that case.

Fix that by making cpufreq_online() attempt to add symbolic links to
policy objects for the CPUs in the related_cpus mask of every new
policy object created by it.

The cpufreq_driver_lock locking around the for_each_cpu() loop
in cpufreq_online() is dropped, because it is not necessary and the
code is somewhat simpler without it.  Moreover, failures to create
a symbolic link will not be regarded as hard errors any more and
the CPUs without those links will not be taken offline automatically,
but that should not be problematic in practice.

On CPU online the cpufreq core restores the previous governor (or

not restore the min/max limits at the same time, which is confusing,
inconsistent and real pain for users who set the limits and then
suspend/resume the system (using full suspend), in which case the

callbacks may be invoked for an inactive cpufreq policy, which isn't

First, in cpufreq_get(), the policy may become inactive after
the check against policy->cpus in cpufreq_cpu_get() and before
policy->rwsem is acquired, in which case using it going forward may
not be correct.

Second, an analogous situation is possible in cpufreq_update_policy().

If a cpufreq driver is registered very early in the boot stage (e.g.
registered from postcore_initcall()), then cpufreq core may generate
kernel warnings for it.

In this case, the CPUs are brought online, then the cpufreq driver is
registered, and then the CPU topology devices are registered. However,
by the time cpufreq_add_dev() gets called, the cpu device isn't stored
in the per-cpu variable (cpu_sys_devices,) which is read by
get_cpu_device().

So the cpufreq core fails to get device for the CPU, for which
cpufreq_add_dev() was called in the first place and we will hit a
WARN_ON(!cpu_dev).

Even if we reuse the 'dev' parameter passed to cpufreq_add_dev() to
avoid that warning, there might be other CPUs online that share the
policy with the cpu for which cpufreq_add_dev() is called. Eventually
get_cpu_device() will return NULL for them as well, and we will hit the
same WARN_ON() again.

In order to fix these issues, change cpufreq core to create links to the
policy for a cpu only when cpufreq_add_dev() is called for that CPU.

Reuse the 'real_cpus' mask to track that as well.

Note that cpufreq_remove_dev() already handles removal of the links for
individual CPUs and cpufreq_add_dev() has aligned with that now.

Cpufreq governors may need to know what a particular target frequency
maps to in the driver without necessarily wanting to set the frequency.
Support this operation via a new cpufreq API,
cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq(). This API returns the lowest driver
frequency equal or greater than the target frequency
(CPUFREQ_RELATION_L), subject to any policy (min/max) or driver
limitations. The mapping is also cached in the policy so that a
subsequent fast_switch operation can avoid repeating the same lookup.

The API will call a new cpufreq driver callback, resolve_freq(), if it
has been registered by the driver. Otherwise the frequency is resolved
via cpufreq_frequency_table_target(). Rather than require ->target()
style drivers to provide a resolve_freq() callback it is left to the
caller to ensure that the driver implements this callback if necessary
to use cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq().

The modularity of cpufreq_stats is quite problematic.

First off, the usage of policy notifiers for the initialization
and cleanup in the cpufreq_stats module is inherently racy with
respect to CPU offline/online and the initialization and cleanup
of the cpufreq driver.

Second, fast frequency switching (used by the schedutil governor)
cannot be enabled if any transition notifiers are registered, so
if the cpufreq_stats module (that registers a transition notifier
for updating transition statistics) is loaded, the schedutil governor
cannot use fast frequency switching.

On the other hand, allowing cpufreq_stats to be built as a module
doesn't really add much value.  Arguably, there's not much reason
for that code to be modular at all.

For the above reasons, make the cpufreq stats code non-modular,
modify the core to invoke functions provided by that code directly
and drop the notifiers from it.

Make the stats sysfs attributes appear empty if fast frequency
switching is enabled as the statistics will not be updated in that
case anyway (and returning -EBUSY from those attributes breaks
powertop).

While at it, clean up Kconfig help for the CPU_FREQ_STAT and

The 'initialized' field in struct cpufreq_governor is only used by
the conservative governor (as a usage counter) and the way that
happens is far from straightforward and arguably incorrect.

Namely, the value of 'initialized' is checked by
cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() and cpufreq_dbs_governor_exit() and
the results of those checks are passed (as the second argument) to
the ->init() and ->exit() callbacks in struct dbs_governor.  Those
callbacks are only implemented by the ondemand and conservative
governors and ondemand doesn't use their second argument at all.
In turn, the conservative governor uses it to decide whether or not
to either register or unregister a transition notifier.

That whole mechanism is not only unnecessarily convoluted, but also
racy, because the 'initialized' field of struct cpufreq_governor is
updated in cpufreq_init_governor() and cpufreq_exit_governor() under
policy->rwsem which doesn't help if one of these functions is run
twice in parallel for different policies (which isn't impossible in
principle), for example.

Instead of it, add a proper usage counter to the conservative
governor and update it from cs_init() and cs_exit() which is
guaranteed to be non-racy, as those functions are only called
under gov_dbs_data_mutex which is global.

With that in place, drop the 'initialized' field from struct
cpufreq_governor as it is not used any more.

The design of the cpufreq governor API is not very straightforward,
as struct cpufreq_governor provides only one callback to be invoked
from different code paths for different purposes.  The purpose it is
invoked for is determined by its second "event" argument, causing it
to act as a "callback multiplexer" of sorts.

Unfortunately, that leads to extra complexity in governors, some of
which implement the ->governor() callback as a switch statement
that simply checks the event argument and invokes a separate function
to handle that specific event.

That extra complexity can be eliminated by replacing the all-purpose
->governor() callback with a family of callbacks to carry out specific
governor operations: initialization and exit, start and stop and policy
limits updates.  That also turns out to reduce the code size too, so
do it.
