      cpufreq: Acquire the lock in cpufreq_policy_restore() for reading · 44871c9c
      Lan Tianyu 提交于
      In cpufreq_policy_restore() before system suspend policy is read from
      percpu's cpufreq_cpu_data_fallback.  It's a read operation rather
      than a write one, so take the lock for reading in there.

      cpufreq: Prevent problems in update_policy_cpu() if last_cpu == new_cpu · cb38ed5c
      Srivatsa S. Bhat 提交于
      If update_policy_cpu() is invoked with the existing policy->cpu itself
      as the new-cpu parameter, then a lot of things can go terribly wrong.
      
      In its present form, update_policy_cpu() always assumes that the new-cpu
      is different from policy->cpu and invokes other functions to perform their
      respective updates. And those functions implement the actual update like
      this:
      
      per_cpu(..., new_cpu) = per_cpu(..., last_cpu);
      per_cpu(..., last_cpu) = NULL;
      
      Thus, when new_cpu == last_cpu, the final NULL assignment makes the per-cpu
      references vanish into thin air! (memory leak). From there, it leads to more
      problems: cpufreq_stats_create_table() now doesn't find the per-cpu reference
      and hence tries to create a new sysfs-group; but sysfs already had created
      the group earlier, so it complains that it cannot create a duplicate filename.
      In short, the repercussions of a rather innocuous invocation of
      update_policy_cpu() can turn out to be pretty nasty.
      
      Ideally update_policy_cpu() should handle this situation (new == last)
      gracefully, and not lead to such severe problems. So fix it by adding an
      appropriate check.

      cpufreq: Restructure if/else block to avoid unintended behavior · 61173f25
      Srivatsa S. Bhat 提交于
      In __cpufreq_remove_dev_prepare(), the code which decides whether to remove
      the sysfs link or nominate a new policy cpu, is governed by an if/else block
      with a rather complex set of conditionals. Worse, they harbor a subtlety
      which leads to certain unintended behavior.
      
      The code looks like this:
      
              if (cpu != policy->cpu && !frozen) {
                      sysfs_remove_link(&dev->kobj, "cpufreq");
              } else if (cpus > 1) {
      		new_cpu = cpufreq_nominate_new_policy_cpu(...);
      		...
      		update_policy_cpu(..., new_cpu);
      	}
      
      The original intention was:
      If the CPU going offline is not policy->cpu, just remove the link.
      On the other hand, if the CPU going offline is the policy->cpu itself,
      handover the policy->cpu job to some other surviving CPU in that policy.
      
      But because the 'if' condition also includes the 'frozen' check, now there
      are *two* possibilities by which we can enter the 'else' block:
      
      1. cpu == policy->cpu (intended)
      2. cpu != policy->cpu && frozen (unintended)
      
      Due to the second (unintended) scenario, we end up spuriously nominating
      a CPU as the policy->cpu, even when the existing policy->cpu is alive and
      well. This can cause problems further down the line, especially when we end
      up nominating the same policy->cpu as the new one (ie., old == new),
      because it totally confuses update_policy_cpu().
      
      To avoid this mess, restructure the if/else block to only do what was
      originally intended, and thus prevent any unwelcome surprises.

      cpufreq: Fix crash in cpufreq-stats during suspend/resume · 0d66b91e
      Srivatsa S. Bhat 提交于
      Stephen Warren reported that the cpufreq-stats code hits a NULL pointer
      dereference during the second attempt to suspend a system. He also
      pin-pointed the problem to commit 5302c3fb "cpufreq: Perform light-weight
      init/teardown during suspend/resume".
      
      That commit actually ensured that the cpufreq-stats table and the
      cpufreq-stats sysfs entries are *not* torn down (ie., not freed) during
      suspend/resume, which makes it all the more surprising. However, it turns
      out that the root-cause is not that we access an already freed memory, but
      that the reference to the allocated memory gets moved around and we lose
      track of that during resume, leading to the reported crash in a subsequent
      suspend attempt.
      
      In the suspend path, during CPU offline, the value of policy->cpu is updated
      by choosing one of the surviving CPUs in that policy, as long as there is
      atleast one CPU in that policy. And cpufreq_stats_update_policy_cpu() is
      invoked to update the reference to the stats structure by assigning it to
      the new CPU. However, in the resume path, during CPU online, we end up
      assigning a fresh CPU as the policy->cpu, without letting cpufreq-stats
      know about this. Thus the reference to the stats structure remains
      (incorrectly) associated with the old CPU. So, in a subsequent suspend attempt,
      during CPU offline, we end up accessing an incorrect location to get the
      stats structure, which eventually leads to the NULL pointer dereference.
      
      Fix this by letting cpufreq-stats know about the update of the policy->cpu
      during CPU online in the resume path. (Also, move the update_policy_cpu()
      function higher up in the file, so that __cpufreq_add_dev() can invoke
      it).

      Revert "cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are serialized" · 798282a8
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Commit 7c30ed53 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
      serialized) attempted to serialize frequency transitions by
      adding checks to the CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE and CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE
      notifications.  However, it assumed that the notifications will
      always originate from the driver's .target() callback, but they
      also can be triggered by cpufreq_out_of_sync() and that leads to
      warnings like this on some systems:
