There is no need to check if the cpufreq driver implements callback cpufreq_driver::target_index. The logic in the __resolve_freq uses the frequency table available in the policy. It doesn't matter if the driver provides 'target_index' or 'target' callback. It just has to populate the 'policy->freq_table'. Thus, check only frequency table during the frequency resolving call.

From a state where all policy->related_cpus are offline, putting one of the policy's CPU back online re-activates the policy by: 1. Calling cpufreq_driver->online() 2. Setting the CPU in policy->cpus qcom_cpufreq_hw_cpu_online() makes use of policy->cpus. Thus 1. and 2. should be inverted to avoid having a policy->cpus empty. The qcom-cpufreq-hw is the only driver affected by this. Signed-off-by: NPierre Gondois <pierre.gondois@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NViresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

With the new design in place, the show() and store() callbacks check if the policy is active or not before proceeding any further to avoid potential races. And in order to guarantee that cpufreq_policy_free() must be called after clearing the policy->cpus mask, i.e. by marking the policy inactive. In order to avoid introducing a bug around this later, print a warning message if we end up freeing an active policy. Also update cpufreq_online() a bit to make sure we clear the cpus mask for each error case before calling cpufreq_policy_free().

cpufreq_offline() calls offline() and exit() under the policy rwsem But they are called outside the rwsem in cpufreq_online(). Make cpufreq_online() call offline() and exit() as well as online() and init() under the policy rwsem to achieve a clear lock relationship. All of the init() and online() implementations in the tree only initialize the policy object without attempting to acquire the policy rwsem and they won't call cpufreq APIs attempting to acquire it.

Currently, cpufreq_remove_dev() invokes the ->exit() driver callback without holding the policy rwsem which is inconsistent with what happens if ->exit() is invoked directly from cpufreq_offline(). It also manipulates the real_cpus mask and removes the CPU device symlink without holding the policy rwsem, but cpufreq_offline() holds the rwsem around the modifications thereof. For consistency, modify cpufreq_remove_dev() to hold the policy rwsem until the ->exit() callback has been called (or it has been determined that it is not necessary to call it).

For some platforms, the frequency returned by hardware may be slightly different from what is provided in the frequency table. For example, hardware may return 499 MHz instead of 500 MHz. In such cases it is better to avoid getting into unnecessary frequency updates, as we may end up switching policy->cur between the two and sending unnecessary pre/post update notifications, etc. This patch has chosen allows the hardware frequency and table frequency to deviate by 1 MHz for now, we may want to increase it a bit later on if someone still complains.

The min and max frequency QoS requests in the cpufreq core are initialized to whatever the current min and max frequency values are at the init time, but if any of these values change later (for example, cpuinfo.max_freq is updated by the driver), these initial request values will be limiting the CPU frequency unnecessarily unless they are changed by user space via sysfs. To address this, initialize min_freq_req and max_freq_req to FREQ_QOS_MIN_DEFAULT_VALUE and FREQ_QOS_MAX_DEFAULT_VALUE, respectively, so they don't really limit anything until user space updates them.

When I hot added a CPU, I found 'cpufreq' directory was not created below /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/. It is because get_cpu_device() failed in add_cpu_dev_symlink(). cpufreq_add_dev() is the .add_dev callback of a CPU subsys interface. It will be called when the CPU device registered into the system. The call chain is as follows: register_cpu() ->device_register() ->device_add() ->bus_probe_device() ->cpufreq_add_dev() But only after the CPU device has been registered, we can get the CPU device by get_cpu_device(), otherwise it will return NULL. Since we already have the CPU device in cpufreq_add_dev(), pass it to add_cpu_dev_symlink(). I noticed that the 'kobj' of the CPU device has been added into the system before cpufreq_add_dev().

When applying the policy min/max limits, the requested frequency is simply clamped to not be out of range. It means, however, if one of the boundaries isn't an available frequency, the frequency resolution can return a value out of those limits, depending on the relation used. e.g. freq{0,1,2} being available frequencies. freq0 policy->min freq1 policy->max freq2 | | | | | 17kHz 18kHz 19kHz 20kHz 21kHz __resolve_freq(21kHz, CPUFREQ_RELATION_L) -> 21kHz (out of bounds) __resolve_freq(17kHz, CPUFREQ_RELATION_H) -> 17kHz (out of bounds) If, during the policy init, we resolve the requested min/max to existing frequencies, we ensure that any CPUFREQ_RELATION_* would resolve to a frequency which is inside the policy min/max range. Making the policy limits rigid helps to introduce the inefficient frequencies support. Resolving an inefficient frequency to an efficient one should not transgress policy->max (which can be set for thermal reason) and having a value we can trust simplify this comparison.

Many cpufreq drivers register with the energy model for each policy and do exactly the same thing. Follow the footsteps of thermal-cooling, to get it done from the cpufreq core itself. Provide a new callback, which will be called, if present, by the cpufreq core at the right moment (more on that in the code's comment). Also provide a generic implementation that uses dev_pm_opp_of_register_em(). This also allows us to register with the EM at a later point of time, compared to ->init(), from where the EM core can access cpufreq policy directly using cpufreq_cpu_get() type of helpers and perform other work, like marking few frequencies inefficient, this will be done separately.

During cpufreq driver's registration, if the ->init() callback for all the CPUs fail then there is not much point in keeping the driver around as it will only account for more of unnecessary noise, for example cpufreq core will try to suspend/resume the driver which never got registered properly. The removal of such a driver is avoided if the driver carries the CPUFREQ_STICKY flag. This was added way back [1] in 2004 and perhaps no one should ever need it now. A lot of drivers do set this flag, probably because they just copied it from other drivers. This was added earlier for some platforms [2] because their cpufreq drivers were getting registered before the CPUs were registered with subsys framework. And hence they used to fail. The same isn't true anymore though. The current code flow in the kernel is: start_kernel() -> kernel_init() -> kernel_init_freeable() -> do_basic_setup() -> driver_init() -> cpu_dev_init() -> subsys_system_register() //For CPUs -> do_initcalls() -> cpufreq_register_driver() Clearly, the CPUs will always get registered with subsys framework before any cpufreq driver can get probed. Remove the flag and update the relevant drivers.

First off, some cpufreq drivers (eg. intel_pstate) can pass hints beyond the current target frequency to the hardware and there are no provisions for doing that in the cpufreq framework. In particular, today the driver has to assume that it should not allow the frequency to fall below the one requested by the governor (or the required capacity may not be provided) which may not be the case and which may lead to excessive energy usage in some scenarios. Second, the hints passed by these drivers to the hardware need not be in terms of the frequency, so representing the utilization numbers coming from the scheduler as frequency before passing them to those drivers is not really useful. Address the two points above by adding a special-purpose replacement for the ->fast_switch callback, called ->adjust_perf, allowing the governor to pass abstract performance level (rather than frequency) values for the minimum (required) and target (desired) performance along with the CPU capacity to compare them to. Also update the schedutil governor to use the new callback instead of ->fast_switch if present and if the utilization mertics are frequency-invariant (that is requisite for the direct mapping between the utilization and the CPU performance levels to be a reasonable approximation).

Generally, a cpufreq driver may need to update some internal upper and lower frequency boundaries on policy max and min changes, respectively, but currently this does not work if the target frequency does not change along with the policy limit. Namely, if the target frequency does not change along with the policy min or max, the "target_freq == policy->cur" check in __cpufreq_driver_target() prevents driver callbacks from being invoked and they do not even have a chance to update the corresponding internal boundary. This particularly affects the "powersave" and "performance" governors that always set the target frequency to one of the policy limits and it never changes when the other limit is updated. To allow cpufreq the drivers needing to update internal frequency boundaries on policy limits changes to avoid this issue, introduce a new driver flag, CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS, that (when set) will neutralize the check mentioned above.
