This routine checks if the CPU running this code belongs to the policy of the target CPU or if not, can it do remote DVFS for it remotely. But the current name of it implies as if it is only about doing remote updates. Rename it to make it more relevant. Suggested-by: NRafael J.

By design, cpufreq drivers are responsible for calling cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() from their ->init() callbacks to validate the frequency table. However, if a cpufreq driver is buggy and fails to do so properly, it lead to unexpected behavior of the driver or the cpufreq core at a later point in time. It would be better if the core could validate the frequency table during driver initialization. To that end, introduce cpufreq_table_validate_and_sort() and make the cpufreq core call it right after invoking the ->init() callback of the driver and destroy the cpufreq policy if the table is invalid. For the time being the validation of the table happens twice, once from the driver and then from the core. The individual drivers will be updated separately to drop table validation if they don't need it for other reasons. The frequency table is marked "sorted" or "unsorted" by the new helper now instead of in cpufreq_table_validate_and_show(), as it should only be done after validating the table (which the drivers won't do going forward).

After commit 890da9cf (Revert "x86: do not use cpufreq_quick_get() for /proc/cpuinfo "cpu MHz"") the "cpu MHz" number in /proc/cpuinfo on x86 can be either the nominal CPU frequency (which is constant) or the frequency most recently requested by a scaling governor in cpufreq, depending on the cpufreq configuration. That is somewhat inconsistent and is different from what it was before 4.13, so in order to restore the previous behavior, make it report the current CPU frequency like the scaling_cur_freq sysfs file in cpufreq. To that end, modify the /proc/cpuinfo implementation on x86 to use aperfmperf_snapshot_khz() to snapshot the APERF and MPERF feedback registers, if available, and use their values to compute the CPU frequency to be reported as "cpu MHz". However, do that carefully enough to avoid accumulating delays that lead to unacceptable access times for /proc/cpuinfo on systems with many CPUs. Run aperfmperf_snapshot_khz() once on all CPUs asynchronously at the /proc/cpuinfo open time, add a single delay upfront (if necessary) at that point and simply compute the current frequency while running show_cpuinfo() for each individual CPU. Also, to avoid slowing down /proc/cpuinfo accesses too much, reduce the default delay between consecutive APERF and MPERF reads to 10 ms, which should be sufficient to get large enough numbers for the frequency computation in all cases.

Frequency-invariant accounting support based on the ratio of current frequency and maximum supported frequency is an optional feature an arch can implement. Since there are cpufreq drivers (e.g. cpufreq-dt) which can be build for different arch's a default implementation of the frequency-invariance setter function arch_set_freq_scale() is needed. This default implementation is an empty weak function which will be overwritten by a strong function in case the arch provides one. The setter function passes the cpumask of related (to the frequency change) cpus (online and offline cpus), the (new) current frequency and the maximum supported frequency.

On many platforms, CPUs can do DVFS across cpufreq policies. i.e CPU from policy-A can change frequency of CPUs belonging to policy-B. This is quite common in case of ARM platforms where we don't configure any per-cpu register. Add a flag to identify such platforms and update cpufreq_can_do_remote_dvfs() to allow remote callbacks if this flag is set. Also enable the flag for cpufreq-dt driver which is used only on ARM platforms currently.

With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor for some time. One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this does not occur. This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for remote CPUs as well. The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU. The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks. This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling, galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements, while others didn't had much deviation. The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where following are required to be true to improve performance and that doesn't happen too often with these tests: - Task is migrated to another CPU. - The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher OPPs. - And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the next tick.

The policy->transition_latency field is used for multiple purposes today and its not straight forward at all. This is how it is used: A. Set the correct transition_latency value. B. Set it to CPUFREQ_ETERNAL because: 1. We don't want automatic dynamic switching (with ondemand/conservative) to happen at all. 2. We don't know the transition latency. This patch handles the B.1. case in a more readable way. A new flag for the cpufreq drivers is added to disallow use of cpufreq governors which have dynamic_switching flag set. All the current cpufreq drivers which are setting transition_latency unconditionally to CPUFREQ_ETERNAL are updated to use it. They don't need to set transition_latency anymore. There shouldn't be any functional change after this patch.

There is no limitation in the ondemand or conservative governors which disallow the transition_latency to be greater than 10 ms. The max_transition_latency field is rather used to disallow automatic dynamic frequency switching for platforms which didn't wanted these governors to run. Replace max_transition_latency with a boolean (dynamic_switching) and check for transition_latency == CPUFREQ_ETERNAL along with that. This makes it pretty straight forward to read/understand now.

The cpufreq core and governors aren't supposed to set a limit on how fast we want to try changing the frequency. This is currently done for the legacy governors with help of min_sampling_rate. At worst, we may end up setting the sampling rate to a value lower than the rate at which frequency can be changed and then one of the CPUs in the policy will be only changing frequency for ever. But that is something for the user to decide and there is no need to have special handling for such cases in the core. Leave it for the user to figure out.

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.

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().

Most of the callers of cpufreq_frequency_get_table() already have the pointer to a valid 'policy' structure and they don't really need to go through the per-cpu variable first and then a check to validate the frequency, in order to find the freq-table for the policy. Directly use the policy->freq_table field instead for them. Only one user of that API is left after above changes, cpu_cooling.c and it accesses the freq_table in a racy way as the policy can get freed in between. Fix it by using cpufreq_cpu_get() properly.

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 CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS options. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

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. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

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. Signed-off-by: NRafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> Acked-by: NViresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

Due to differences in the cpufreq core's handling of runtime CPU offline and nonboot CPUs disabling during system suspend-to-RAM, fast frequency switching gets disabled after a suspend-to-RAM and resume cycle on all of the nonboot CPUs. To prevent that from happening, move the invocation of cpufreq_disable_fast_switch() from cpufreq_exit_governor() to sugov_exit(), as the schedutil governor is the only user of fast frequency switching today anyway. That simply prevents cpufreq_disable_fast_switch() from being called without invoking the ->governor callback for the CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT event (which happens during system suspend now).

Modify the ACPI cpufreq driver to provide a method for switching CPU frequencies from interrupt context and update the cpufreq core to support that method if available. Introduce a new cpufreq driver callback, ->fast_switch, to be invoked for frequency switching from interrupt context by (future) governors supporting that feature via (new) helper function cpufreq_driver_fast_switch(). Add two new policy flags, fast_switch_possible, to be set by the cpufreq driver if fast frequency switching can be used for the given policy and fast_switch_enabled, to be set by the governor if it is going to use fast frequency switching for the given policy. Also add a helper for setting the latter. Since fast frequency switching is inherently incompatible with cpufreq transition notifiers, make it possible to set the fast_switch_enabled only if there are no transition notifiers already registered and make the registration of new transition notifiers fail if fast_switch_enabled is set for at least one policy. Implement the ->fast_switch callback in the ACPI cpufreq driver and make it set fast_switch_possible during policy initialization as appropriate. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

Create cpufreq.c under kernel/sched/ and move the cpufreq code related to the scheduler to that file and to sched.h. Redefine cpufreq_update_util() as a static inline function to avoid function calls at its call sites in the scheduler code (as suggested by Peter Zijlstra). Also move the definition of struct update_util_data and declaration of cpufreq_set_update_util_data() from include/linux/cpufreq.h to include/linux/sched.h. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

The entire sequence of events (like INIT/START or STOP/EXIT) for which cpufreq_governor() is called, is guaranteed to be protected by policy->rwsem now. The additional checks that were added earlier (as we were forced to drop policy->rwsem before calling cpufreq_governor() for EXIT event), aren't required anymore. Over that, they weren't sufficient really. They just take care of START/STOP events, but not INIT/EXIT and the state machine was never maintained properly by them. Kill the unnecessary checks and policy->governor_enabled field. Signed-off-by: NViresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NRafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Earlier, when the struct freq-attr was used to represent governor attributes, the standard cpufreq show/store sysfs attribute callbacks were applied to the governor tunable attributes and they always acquire the policy->rwsem lock before carrying out the operation. That could have resulted in an ABBA deadlock if governor tunable attributes are removed under policy->rwsem while one of them is being accessed concurrently (if sysfs attributes removal wins the race, it will wait for the access to complete with policy->rwsem held while the attribute callback will block on policy->rwsem indefinitely). We attempted to address this issue by dropping policy->rwsem around governor tunable attributes removal (that is, around invocations of the ->governor callback with the event arg equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT) in cpufreq_set_policy(), but that opened up race conditions that had not been possible with policy->rwsem held all the time. The previous commit, "cpufreq: governor: New sysfs show/store callbacks for governor tunables", fixed the original ABBA deadlock by adding new governor specific show/store callbacks. We don't have to drop rwsem around invocations of governor event CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT anymore, and original fix can be reverted now.

Introduce a mechanism by which parts of the cpufreq subsystem ("setpolicy" drivers or the core) can register callbacks to be executed from cpufreq_update_util() which is invoked by the scheduler's update_load_avg() on CPU utilization changes. This allows the "setpolicy" drivers to dispense with their timers and do all of the computations they need and frequency/voltage adjustments in the update_load_avg() code path, among other things. The update_load_avg() changes were suggested by Peter Zijlstra. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.
