Currently, affected_cpus shows which CPUs need to have their frequency coordinated in software. When hardware coordination is in use, the contents of this file appear the same as when no coordination is required. This can lead to some confusion among user-space programs, for example, that do not know that extra coordination is required to force a CPU core to a particular speed to control power consumption. To fix this, create a "related_cpus" attribute that always displays the coordination map regardless of whatever coordination strategy the cpufreq driver uses (sw or hw). If the cpufreq driver does not provide a value, fall back to policy->cpus. Signed-off-by: NDarrick J.

Eliminate cpufreq_userspace scaling_setspeed deadlock. Luming Yu recently uncovered yet another cpufreq related deadlock. One thread that continuously switches the governors and the other thread that repeatedly cats the contents of cpufreq directory causes both these threads to go into a deadlock. Detailed examination of the deadlock showed the exact flow before the deadlock as: Thread 1 Thread 2 ________ ________ cats files under /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/ Set governor to userspace Adds a new sysfs entry for scaling_setspeed cats files under /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/ Set governor to performance Holds cpufreq_rw_sem in write mode Sends a STOP notify to userspace governor cat /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/scaling_setspeed Gets a handle on the above sysfs entry with sysfs_get_active Blocks while trying to get cpufreq_rw_sem in read mode Remove a sysfs entry for scaling_setspeed Blocks on sysfs_deactivate while waiting for earlier get_active (on other thread) to drain At this point both threads go into deadlock and any other thread that tries to do anything with sysfs cpufreq will also block. There seems to be no easy way to avoid this deadlock as long as cpufreq_userspace adds/removes the sysfs entry under same kobject as cpufreq. Below patch moves scaling_setspeed to cpufreq.c, keeping it always and calling back the governor on read/write. This is the cleanest fix I could think of, even though adding two callbacks in governor structure just for this seems unnecessary. Note that the change makes scaling_setspeed under /sys/.../cpufreq permanent and returns <unsupported> when governor is not userspace.

Callsites such as arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c are having to open-code #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_FREQ only to be able to get at the full definition of cpufreq_unregister_notifier(), because no empty stub is available for the !CONFIG_CPU_FREQ case. Let's provide one, to be able to remove such #ifdef's from the rest of the kernel tree -- those will come in a subsequent patch.

Depending on the transition latency of the HW for cpufreq switches, the ondemand or conservative governor cannot be used with certain cpufreq drivers. Still the ondemand should be the default governor on a wide range of systems. This patch allows this and lets the governor fallback to the performance governor at cpufreq driver load time, if the driver does not support fast enough frequency switching. Main benefit is that on e.g. installation or other systems without userspace support a working dynamic cpufreq support can be achieved on most systems by simply loading the cpufreq driver. This is especially essential for recent x86(_64) laptop hardware which may rely on working dynamic cpufreq OS support.

This reverts commit aeeddc14, which was half-baked and broken. It just resulted in compile errors, since cpufreq_register_driver() still changes the 'driver_data' by setting bits in the flags field.

Yet another attempt to resolve cpufreq and hotplug locking issues. Patchset has 3 patches: * Rewrite the lock infrastructure of cpufreq using a per cpu rwsem. * Minor restructuring of work callback in ondemand driver. * Use the new cpufreq rwsem infrastructure in ondemand work. This patch: Convert policy->lock to rwsem and move it to per_cpu area. This rwsem will protect against both changing/accessing policy related parameters and CPU hot plug/unplug.

Enable ondemand governor and acpi-cpufreq to use IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSR to get active frequency feedback for the last sampling interval. This will make ondemand take right frequency decisions when hardware coordination of frequency is going on. Without APERF/MPERF, ondemand can take wrong decision at times due to underlying hardware coordination or TM2. Example: * CPU 0 and CPU 1 are hardware cooridnated. * CPU 1 running at highest frequency. * CPU 0 was running at highest freq. Now ondemand reduces it to some intermediate frequency based on utilization. * Due to underlying hardware coordination with other CPU 1, CPU 0 continues to run at highest frequency (as long as other CPU is at highest). * When ondemand samples CPU 0 again next time, without actual frequency feedback from APERF/MPERF, it will think that previous frequency change was successful and can go to wrong target frequency. This is because it thinks that utilization it has got this sampling interval is when running at intermediate frequency, rather than actual highest frequency.

The patch below moves the cpu hotplugging higher up in the cpufreq layering; this is needed to avoid recursive taking of the cpu hotplug lock and to otherwise detangle the mess. The new rules are: 1. you must do lock_cpu_hotplug() around the following functions: __cpufreq_driver_target __cpufreq_governor (for CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS operation only) __cpufreq_set_policy 2. governer methods (.governer) must NOT take the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock in any way; they are called with the lock taken already 3. if your governer spawns a thread that does things, like calling __cpufreq_driver_target, your thread must honor rule #1. 4. the policy lock and other cpufreq internal locks nest within the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock. I'm not entirely happy about how the __cpufreq_governor rule ended up (conditional locking rule depending on the argument) but basically all callers pass this as a constant so it's not too horrible. The patch also removes the cpufreq_governor() function since during the locking audit it turned out to be entirely unused (so no need to fix it) The patch works on my testbox, but it could use more testing (otoh... it can't be much worse than the current code) Signed-off-by: NArjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

What is the value shown in "cpu MHz" of /proc/cpuinfo when CPUs are capable of changing frequency? Today the answer is: It depends. On i386: SMP kernel - It is always the boot frequency UP kernel - Scales with the frequency change and shows that was last set. On x86_64: There is one single variable cpu_khz that gets written by all the CPUs. So, the frequency set by last CPU will be seen on /proc/cpuinfo of all the CPUs in the system. What you see also depends on whether you have constant_tsc capable CPU or not. On ia64: It is always boot time frequency of a particular CPU that gets displayed. The patch below changes this to: Show the last known frequency of the particular CPU, when cpufreq is present. If cpu doesnot support changing of frequency through cpufreq, then boot frequency will be shown. The patch affects i386, x86_64 and ia64 architectures.

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

In order to properly fix some issues with cpufreq vs. sleep on PowerBooks, I had to add a suspend callback to the pmac_cpufreq driver. I must force a switch to full speed before sleep and I switch back to previous speed on resume. I also added a driver flag to disable the warnings in suspend/resume since it is expected in this case to have different speed (and I want it to fixup the jiffies properly).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
