cpufreq fix timer teardown in conservative governor

The problem is that dbs_timer_exit() uses cancel_delayed_work() when it should
use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). cancel_delayed_work() does not wait for the
workqueue handler to exit.

The ondemand governor does not seem to be affected because the
"if (!dbs_info->enable)" check at the beginning of the workqueue handler returns
immediately without rescheduling the work. The conservative governor in
2.6.30-rc has the same check as the ondemand governor, which makes things
usually run smoothly. However, if the governor is quickly stopped and then
started, this could lead to the following race :

dbs_enable could be reenabled and multiple do_dbs_timer handlers would run.
This is why a synchronized teardown is required.

Depends on patch
cpufreq: remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call

The following patch applies to 2.6.30-rc2. Stable kernels have a similar
issue which should also be fixed, but the code changed between 2.6.29
and 2.6.30, so this patch only applies to 2.6.30-rc.

      [CPUFREQ] Don't export governors for default governor · c4d14bc0
      由 Sven Wegener 提交于 
      We don't need to export the governors for use as the default governor,
because the default governor will be built-in anyway and we can access
the symbol directly.

This also fixes the following sparse warnings:

      cpufreq: Initialise default governor before use · 6915719b
      由 Johannes Weiner 提交于 
      When the cpufreq driver starts up at boot time, it calls into the default
governor which might not be initialised yet.  This hurts when the
governor's worker function relies on memory that is not yet set up by its
init function.

This migrates all governors from module_init() to fs_initcall() when being
the default, as was already done in cpufreq_performance when it was the
only possible choice.  The performance governor is always initialized early
because it might be used as fallback even when not being the default.

Fixes at least one actual oops where ondemand is the default governor and
cpufreq_governor_dbs() uses the uninitialised kondemand_wq work-queue
during boot-time.

      [CPUFREQ] allow ondemand and conservative cpufreq governors to be used as default · 1c256245
      由 Thomas Renninger 提交于 
      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.

      [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h · cd354f1a
      由 Tim Schmielau 提交于 
      After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

      [PATCH] Reorganize the cpufreq cpu hotplug locking to not be totally bizare · 153d7f3f
      由 Arjan van de Ven 提交于 
      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)

      [CPUFREQ] Fix ondemand vs suspend deadlock · 4ec223d0
      由 Venkatesh Pallipadi 提交于 
      Rootcaused the bug to a deadlock in cpufreq and ondemand. Due to non-existent
ordering between cpu_hotplug lock and dbs_mutex. Basically a race condition
between cpu_down() and do_dbs_timer().

cpu_down() flow:
* cpu_down() call for CPU 1
* Takes hot plug lock
* Calls pre down notifier
*     cpufreq notifier handler calls cpufreq_driver_target() which takes
      cpu_hotplug lock again. OK as cpu_hotplug lock is recursive in same
      process context
* CPU 1 goes down
* Calls post down notifier
*     cpufreq notifier handler calls ondemand event stop which takes dbs_mutex

So, cpu_hotplug lock is taken before dbs_mutex in this flow.

do_dbs_timer is triggerred by a periodic timer event.
It first takes dbs_mutex and then takes cpu_hotplug lock in
cpufreq_driver_target().
Note the reverse order here compared to above. So, if this timer event happens
at right moment during cpu_down, system will deadlok.

Attached patch fixes the issue for both ondemand and conservative.

      由 Alexander Clouter 提交于 
      Venki, author of cpufreq_ondemand, came up with a neater way to remove the
initialiser code from the main loop of my code and out to the point when the
governor is actually initialised.

Not only does it look but it also feels cleaner, plus its simpler to
understand.  It also saves a bunch of pointless conditional statements in the
main loop.

      [PATCH] cpufreq_conservative: make for_each_cpu() safe · 08a28e2e
      由 Alexander Clouter 提交于 
      All these changes should make cpufreq_conservative safe in regards to the x86
for_each_cpu cpumask.h changes and whatnot.

Whilst making it safe a number of pointless for loops related to the cpu
mask's were removed.  I was never comfortable with all those for loops,
especially as the iteration is over the same data again and again for each
CPU you had in a single poll, an O(n^2) outcome to frequency scaling.

The approach I use is to assume by default no CPU's exist and it sets the
requested_freq to zero as a kind of flag, the reasoning is in the source ;)
If the CPU is queried and requested_freq is zero then it initialises the
variable to current_freq and then continues as if nothing happened which
should be the same net effect as before?

      [PATCH] cpufreq_conservative: aligning of codebase with ondemand · 2c906b31
      由 Alexander Clouter 提交于 
      Since the conservative govenor was released its codebase has drifted from the
the direction and updates that have been applied to the ondemand govornor.

This patch addresses the lack of updates in that period and brings
conservative back up to date.  The resulting diff file between
cpufreq_ondemand.c and cpufreq_conservative.c is now much smaller and shows
more clearly the differences between the two.

Another reason to do this is ages ago, knowingly, I did a piss poor attempt
at making conservative less responsive by knocking up
DEF_SAMPLING_RATE_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER by two orders of magnitude.  I did fix
this ages ago but in my dis-organisation I must have toasted the diff and
left it the way it was.  About two weeks ago a user contacted me saying he
was having problems with the conservative governor with his AMD Athlon XP-M
2800+ as /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative showed
  sampling_rate_min   9950000
  sampling_rate_max   1360065408

Nine seconds to decide about changing the frequency....not too responsive :)

      由 Alexander Clouter 提交于 
      The use of the 'ignore_nice' sysfs file is confusing to anyone using it.
This removes the sysfs file 'ignore_nice' and in its place creates a
'ignore_nice_load' entry that defaults to '0'; meaning nice'd processes
_are_ counted towards the 'business' calculation.

WARNING: this obvious breaks any userland tools that expected ignore_nice'
to exist, to draw attention to this fact it was concluded on the mailing
list that the entry should be removed altogether so the userland app breaks
and so the author can build simple to detect workaround.  Having said that
it seems currently very few tools even make use of this functionality; all
I could find was a Gentoo Wiki entry.
