      [CPUFREQ] Don't take semaphore in cpufreq_quick_get() · 9eb59573
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      I don't see any reason to take an expensive lock in cpufreq_quick_get()
      Reading policy->cur is a single atomic operation and after
      the lock is dropped again the state could change any time anyways.
      
      So don't take the lock in the first place.
      
      This also makes this function interrupt safe which is useful
      for some code of mine.

      Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplug · 8bb78442
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
      frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
      special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
      subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
      related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress.  This
      patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
      suspend and resume transitions.  It also changes all of the
      CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
      (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
      ones).

      WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data · 65f27f38
      David Howells 提交于
      Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
      The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
      
      For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
      pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
      structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
      
      To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
      work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
      
      Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
      scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
      work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
      that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
      else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
      problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
      
      However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
      function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
      with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
      work_struct by calling work_release().
      
      In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
      initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

      Add "pure_initcall" for static variable initialization · b3438f82
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This is a quick hack to overcome the fact that SRCU currently does not
      allow static initializers, and we need to sometimes initialize those
      things before any other initializers (even "core" ones) can do so.
      
      Currently we don't allow this at all for modules, and the only user that
      needs is right now is cpufreq. As reported by Thomas Gleixner:
      
         "Commit b4dfdbb3 ("[PATCH] cpufreq:

      [CPUFREQ][8/8] acpi-cpufreq: Add support for freq feedback from hardware · dfde5d62
      Venkatesh Pallipadi 提交于
      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.

      [PATCH] cpufreq: make the transition_notifier chain use SRCU · b4dfdbb3
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as762) changes the cpufreq_transition_notifier_list from a
      blocking_notifier_head to an srcu_notifier_head.  This will prevent errors
      caused attempting to call down_read() to access the notifier chain at a
      time when interrupts must remain disabled, during system suspend.
      
      It's not clear to me whether this is really necessary; perhaps the chain
      could be made into an atomic_notifier.  However a couple of the callout
      routines do use blocking operations, so this approach seems safer.
      
      The head of the notifier chain needs to be initialized before use; this is
      done by an __init routine at core_initcall time.  If this turns out not to
      be a good choice, it can easily be changed.

      [CPUFREQ] return error when failing to set minfreq · 9c9a43ed
      Mattia Dongili 提交于
      I just stumbled on this bug/feature, this is how to reproduce it:
      
      # echo 450000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
      # echo 450000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
      # echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
      # cpufreq-info -p
      450000 450000 powersave
      # echo 1800000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq ; echo $?
      0
      # cpufreq-info -p
      450000 450000 powersave
      
      Here it is. The kernel refuses to set a min_freq higher than the
      max_freq but it allows a max_freq lower than min_freq (lowering min_freq
      also).
      
      This behaviour is pretty straightforward (but undocumented) and it
      doesn't return an error altough failing to accomplish the requested
      action (set min_freq).
      The problem (IMO) is basically that userspace is not allowed to set a
      full policy atomically while the kernel always does that thus it must
      enforce an ordering on operations.
      
      The attached patch returns -EINVAL if trying to increase frequencies
      starting from scaling_min_freq and documents the correct ordering of writes.

      [PATCH] Reorganize the cpufreq cpu hotplug locking to not be totally bizare · 153d7f3f
      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)

      make sure the cpu hotplug recursive mutex (yuck) is taken early in the
