      make sure the cpu hotplug recursive mutex (yuck) is taken early in the
      cpufreq codepaths to avoid a AB-BA deadlock.

      [CPUFREQ] Fix ondemand vs suspend deadlock · 4ec223d0
      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.

      [CPUFREQ] If max_freq got reduced (e.g. by _PPC) a write to sysfs... · 7970e08b
      Thomas Renninger 提交于
      [CPUFREQ] If max_freq got reduced (e.g. by _PPC) a write to sysfs scaling_governor let cpufreq core stuck at low max_freq for ever
      
      The previous patch had bugs (locking and refcount).
      
      This one could also be related to the latest DELL reports.
      But they only slip into this if a user prog (e.g. powersave daemon does when
      AC got (un) plugged due to a scheme change) echos something to
      /sys/../cpufreq/scaling_governor
      while the frequencies got limited by BIOS.
      
      This one works:
      
      Subject: Max freq stucks at low freq if reduced by _PPC and sysfs gov access
      
      The problem is reproducable by(if machine is limiting freqs via BIOS):
       - Unplugging AC -> max freq gets limited
       - echo ${governor} >/sys/.../cpufreq/scaling_governor (policy->user_data.max
         gets overridden with policy->max and will never come up again.)
      
      This patch exchanged the cpufreq_set_policy call to __cpufreq_set_policy and
      duplicated it's functionality but did not override user_data.max.
      The same happens with overridding min/max values. If freqs are limited and
      you override the min freq value, the max freq global value will also get
      stuck to the limited freq, even if BIOS allows all freqs again.
      Last scenario does only happen if BIOS does not reduce the frequency
      to the lowest value (should never happen, just for correctness...)

      [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes · e041c683
      Alan Stern 提交于
      The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
      protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
      chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:
      
          http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
      
      We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
      classes:
      
      	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
      	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
      
      	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
      	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
      
      We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
      this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
      notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
      really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
      used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
      registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
      explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
      kernel/sys.c.
      
      With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
      links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
      entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
      guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
      idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
      blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
      handle these things in their own way.)
      
      There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
      atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
      a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
      callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
      entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
      had to be changed to avoid it.)
      
      Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
      spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
      entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
      less frequent that calling a chain.
      
      Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
      of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
      
        ATOMIC CHAINS
        -------------
      arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
      arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
      arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain
      arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:		sparc64die_chain
      arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:		die_chain
      drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:	xaction_notifier_list
      kernel/panic.c:				panic_notifier_list
      kernel/profile.c:			task_free_notifier
      net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:		hci_notifier
      net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_chain
      net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_expect_chain
      net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain
      net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
      net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
      net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain
      
        BLOCKING CHAINS
        ---------------
      arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
      arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
      arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
      drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
      drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
      drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
      kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
      kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
      kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
      kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
      kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
      net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
      net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
      net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain
      
      It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
      please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
      gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
      used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
      (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
      atomic.)
      
      The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
      material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
      Morton.

      [PATCH] cpufreq: fix section mismatch warnings · bb1a813d
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      cpufreq are the only remaining bit to be solved for me to have a modpost
      clean build for sparc64 - so I took one more look at it.
      changelog entry:
      
      Fix section mismatch warnings in cpufreq:
      WARNING: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier' (at offset 0xa8) and 'notifier_policy_block'
      WARNING: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .exit.text after 'cleanup_module' (at offset 0x30)
      
      The culprint is the function: cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback
      It is marked __cpuinit which get's redefined to __init in case
      HOTPLUG_CPU is not enabled as per. init.h:
      
      #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
      #define __cpuinit
      #else
      #define __cpuinit       __init
      #endif
      
      $> grep HOTPLUG .config
      CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
      
      But cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback() is used in:
      __exit cpufreq_stats_exit()
      static struct notifier_block cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier
      
      cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier is again used in:
      __init cpufreq_stats_init()
      __exit cpufreq_stats_exit()
      
      So in both cases used from both __init and __exit context.
      Only solution seems to drop __cpuinit tag.
