and fix the broken case if a core's frequency depends on others.

trace_power_frequency was only implemented in a rather ungeneric way
in acpi-cpufreq driver's target() function only.
-> Move the call to trace_power_frequency to
   cpufreq.c:cpufreq_notify_transition() where CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE
   notifier is triggered.
   This will support power frequency tracing by all cpufreq drivers

trace_power_frequency did not trace frequency changes correctly when
the userspace governor was used or when CPU cores' frequency depend
on each other.
-> Moving this into the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and pass the cpu
   which gets switched automatically fixes this.

Robert Schoene provided some important fixes on top of my initial
quick shot version which are integrated in this patch:
- Forgot some changes in power_end trace (TP_printk/variable names)
- Variable dummy in power_end must now be cpu_id
- Use static 64 bit variable instead of unsigned int for cpu_id

Constify struct sysfs_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

This interface is mainly intended (and implemented) for ACPI _PPC BIOS
frequency limitations, but other cpufreq drivers can also use it for
similar use-cases.

Why is this needed:

Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited.
People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have
happened by:
  - any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq
  - thermal limitations
  - hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations

Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to:
  - Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits
    frequency
  - Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs.
    While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear
    more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like
    allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want
    to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations.

All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch:
  - powernow-k8
  - powernow-k7
  - acpi-cpufreq

Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1)
via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit:
# echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
# cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
2600000
2600000

2200000
# #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations

# cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit
2600000
2600000
2800000
2800000
# #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation

Dave,

Attached is an update of my patch against the cpufreq fixes branch.

Before applying the patch I compiled and booted the tree to see if the panic
was still there -- to my surprise it was not.  This is because of the conversion
of cpufreq_cpu_governor to a char[].

While the panic is kaput, the problem of stale data continues and my patch is
still valid.  It is possible to end up with the wrong governor after hotplug
events because CPUFREQ_DEFAULT_GOVERNOR is statically linked to a default,
while the cpu siblings may have had a different governor assigned by a user.

ie) the patch is still needed in order to keep the governors assigned
properly when hotplugging devices

This patch updates percpu related symbols in cpufreq such that percpu

two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol

remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call (second call site)

commit	42a06f21

Missed a call site for CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP to remove the rwlock taken around the
teardown. To make a long story short, the rwlock write-lock causes a circular
dependency with cancel_delayed_work_sync(), because the timer handler takes the
read lock.

Note that all callers to __cpufreq_set_policy are taking the rwsem. All sysfs
callers (writers) hold the write rwsem at the earliest sysfs calling stage.

However, the rwlock write-lock is not needed upon governor stop.

Currently everything in the cpufreq layer is per core based.
This does not reflect reality, for example ondemand on conservative
governors have global sysfs variables.

Introduce a global cpufreq directory and add the kobject to the governor
struct, so that governors can easily access it.
The directory is initialized in the cpufreq_core_init initcall and thus will
always be created if cpufreq is compiled in, even if no cpufreq driver is
active later.

Commit 4bc5d341 is broken and causes regressions:

(1) cpufreq_driver->resume() and ->suspend() were only called on
__powerpc__, but you could set them on all architectures. In fact,
->resume() was defined and used before the PPC-related commit
42d4dc3f complained about in 4bc5d341.

(2) Therfore, the resume functions in acpi_cpufreq and speedstep-smi
would never be called.

(3) This means speedstep-smi would be unusuable after suspend or resume.

The _real_ problem was calling cpufreq_driver->get() with interrupts
off, but it re-enabling interrupts on some platforms. Why is ->get()
necessary?

Some systems like to change the CPU frequency behind our
back, especially during BIOS-intensive operations like suspend or
resume. If such systems also use a CPU frequency-dependant timing loop,
delays might be off by large factors. Therefore, we need to ascertain
as soon as possible that the CPU frequency is indeed at the speed we
think it is. You can do this two ways: either setting it anew, or trying
to get it. The latter is what was done, the former also has the same IRQ
issue.

So, let's try something different: defer the checking to after interrupts
are re-enabled, by calling cpufreq_update_policy() (via schedule_work()).
Timings may be off until this later stage, so let's watch out for
resume regressions caused by the deferred handling of frequency changes
behind the kernel's back.

The suspend code runs with interrupts disabled, and the powerpc workaround we
do in the cpufreq suspend hook calls the drivers ->get method.

powernow-k8's ->get does an smp_call_function_single
which needs interrupts enabled

cpufreq's suspend/resume code was added in 42d4dc3f to work around
a hardware problem on ppc powerbooks.  If we make all this code
conditional on powerpc, we avoid the issue above.

This regression was introduced by git commit:
3f4a782b

The policy is released when the cpufreq device is removed in:
__cpufreq_remove_dev():
	/* if this isn't the CPU which is the parent of the kobj, we
	 * only need to unlink, put and exit
	 */

Not creating the symlink is not sever at all.
As long as:
sysfs_remove_link(&sys_dev->kobj, "cpufreq");
handles it gracefully that the symlink did not exist.
Possibly no error should be returned at all, because ondemand
governor would still provide the same functionality.
Userspace in userspace gov case might be confused if the link
is missing.

The patches linked above depend on the following patch to remove
circular locking dependency :

cpufreq: remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call

(the following issue was faced when using cancel_delayed_work_sync() in the
timer teardown (which fixes a race).

Hrm, I think it must be due to my attempt to fix the timer teardown race
in ondemand governor mixed with new locking behavior in 2.6.30-rc.

The rwlock seems to be taken around the whole call to
cpufreq_governor_dbs(), when it should be only taken around accesses to
the locked data, and especially *not* around the call to
dbs_timer_exit().

Reverting my fix attempt would put the teardown race back in place
(replacing the cancel_delayed_work_sync by cancel_delayed_work).
Instead, a proper fix would imply modifying this critical section :

cpufreq.c: __cpufreq_remove_dev()
...
        if (cpufreq_driver->target)
                __cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);

        unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu);

To make sure the __cpufreq_governor() callback is not called with rwsem
held. This would allow execution of cancel_delayed_work_sync() without
being nested within the rwsem.

Applies on top of the 2.6.30-rc5 tree.

Required to remove circular dep in teardown of both conservative and
ondemande governors so they can use cancel_delayed_work_sync().
CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP does not modify the policy, therefore this locking seemed
unneeded.

This reverts commit e088e4c9.

Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
regression in bug 12826.

Course of action:
 - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
   if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
   If it isn't, we need to fix that.
 - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
 - try again with the removal in six months.

It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

It's not only useful for the ondemand and conservative governors, but
also for userspace daemons to know about the HW transition latency of
the CPU.
It is especially useful for userspace to know about this value when
the ondemand or conservative governors are run. The sampling rate
control value depends on it and for userspace being able to set sane
tuning values there it has to know about the transition latency.

Impact: use new cpumask API to reduce memory usage

This is part of an effort to reduce structure sizes for machines
configured with large NR_CPUS.  cpumask_t gets replaced by
cpumask_var_t, which is either struct cpumask[1] (small NR_CPUS) or
struct cpumask * (large NR_CPUS).

Previously driver resume would always set the current policy min/max with
the cpuinfo min/max, defined by user_policy.min/max. Resulting in a reset
of policy settings when policy.min/max != cpuinfo.min/max when coming out
of suspend. Now user_policy is saved as the policy instead of cpuinfo to
preserve what the user actually set.

p4-clockmod has a long history of abuse.   It pretends to be a CPU
frequency scaling driver, even though it doesn't actually change
the CPU frequency, but instead just modulates the frequency with
wait-states.
The biggest misconception is that when running at the lower 'frequency'
p4-clockmod is saving power.  This isn't the case, as workloads running
slower take longer to complete, preventing the CPU from entering deep C states.

However p4-clockmod does have a purpose.  It can prevent overheating.
Having it hooked up to the cpufreq interfaces is the wrong way to achieve
cooling however. It should instead be hooked up to ACPI.

This diff introduces a means for a cpufreq driver to register with the
cpufreq core, but not present a sysfs interface.

Add a cpu parameter to __cpufreq_driver_getavg(). This is needed for software
cpufreq coordination where policy->cpu may not be same as the CPU on which we
want to getavg frequency.

A follow-on patch will use this parameter to getavg freq from all cpus
in policy->cpus.

cpufreq_cpu_put.

Ingo Molnar provided a fix to not call _PPC at processor driver
initialization time in "[PATCH] ACPI: fix cpufreq regression" (git
commit e4233dec)

But it can still happen that _PPC is called at processor driver
initialization time.

This patch should make sure that this is not possible anymore.

Format string bug.  Not exploitable, as this is only writable by root,
but worth fixing all the same.
Spotted-by: NIlja van Sprundel <ilja@netric.org>

If cpu specific cpufreq driver(i.e.  longrun) has "setpolicy" function,
governor object isn't set into cpufreq_policy object at "__cpufreq_set_policy"
function in driver/cpufreq/cpufreq.c .

This causes a null object access at "store_scaling_setspeed" and
"show_scaling_setspeed" function in driver/cpufreq/cpufreq.c when reading or
writing through /sys interface (ex.  cat
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed)
