      cpufreq: Implement light weight ->target_index() routine · 9c0ebcf7
      Viresh Kumar 提交于
      Currently, the prototype of cpufreq_drivers target routines is:
      
      int target(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int target_freq,
      		unsigned int relation);
      
      And most of the drivers call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() to get a valid
      index of their frequency table which is closest to the target_freq. And they
      don't use target_freq and relation after that.
      
      So, it makes sense to just do this work in cpufreq core before calling
      cpufreq_frequency_table_target() and simply pass index instead. But this can be
      done only with drivers which expose their frequency table with cpufreq core. For
      others we need to stick with the old prototype of target() until those drivers
      are converted to expose frequency tables.
      
      This patch implements the new light weight prototype for target_index() routine.
      It looks like this:
      
      int target_index(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int index);
      
      CPUFreq core will call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() before calling this
      routine and pass index to it. Because CPUFreq core now requires to call routines
      present in freq_table.c CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE must be enabled all the time.
      
      This also marks target() interface as deprecated. So, that new drivers avoid
      using it. And Documentation is updated accordingly.
      
      It also converts existing .target() to newly defined light weight
      .target_index() routine for many driver.

      cpufreq: Add new helper cpufreq_table_validate_and_show() · 27047a60
      Viresh Kumar 提交于
      Almost every cpufreq driver is required to validate its frequency table with:
      cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() and then expose it to cpufreq core with:
      cpufreq_frequency_table_get_attr().
      
      This patch creates another helper routine cpufreq_table_validate_and_show() that
      will do both these steps in a single call and will return 0 for success, error
      otherwise.
      
      This also fixes potential bugs in cpufreq drivers where people have called
      cpufreq_frequency_table_get_attr() before calling
      cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo(), as the later may fail.

      Commit 7c30ed53 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
      serialized) attempted to serialize frequency transitions by
      adding checks to the CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE and CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE
      notifications.  However, it assumed that the notifications will
      always originate from the driver's .target() callback, but they
      also can be triggered by cpufreq_out_of_sync() and that leads to
      warnings like this on some systems:

      cpufreq: serialize calls to __cpufreq_governor() · 19c76303
      Viresh Kumar 提交于
      We can't take a big lock around __cpufreq_governor() as this causes
      recursive locking for some cases. But calls to this routine must be
      serialized for every policy. Otherwise we can see some unpredictable
      events.
      
      For example, consider following scenario:
      
      __cpufreq_remove_dev()
       __cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
         policy->governor->governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
          cpufreq_governor_dbs()
           case CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP:
            mutex_destroy(&cpu_cdbs->timer_mutex)
            cpu_cdbs->cur_policy = NULL;
        <PREEMPT>
      store()
       __cpufreq_set_policy()
        __cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS);
          policy->governor->governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS);
           case CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS:
            mutex_lock(&cpu_cdbs->timer_mutex); <-- Warning (destroyed mutex)
             if (policy->max < cpu_cdbs->cur_policy->cur) <- cur_policy == NULL
      
      And so store() will eventually result in a crash if cur_policy is
      NULL at this point.
      
      Introduce an additional variable which would guarantee serialization
      here.

      cpufreq: Fix serialization of frequency transitions · 266c13d7
      Viresh Kumar 提交于
      Commit 7c30ed ("cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are serialized")
      interacts poorly with systems that have a single core freqency for all
      cores.  On such systems we have a single policy for all cores with
      several CPUs.  When we do a frequency transition the governor calls the
      pre and post change notifiers which causes cpufreq_notify_transition()
      per CPU.  Since the policy is the same for all of them all CPUs after
      the first and the warnings added are generated by checking a per-policy
      flag the warnings will be triggered for all cores after the first.
      
      Fix this by allowing notifier to be called for n times. Where n is the number of
      cpus in policy->cpus.

      cpufreq: Fix governor start/stop race condition · 95731ebb
      Xiaoguang Chen 提交于
      Cpufreq governors' stop and start operations should be carried out
      in sequence.  Otherwise, there will be unexpected behavior, like in
      the example below.
      
      Suppose there are 4 CPUs and policy->cpu=CPU0, CPU1/2/3 are linked
      to CPU0.  The normal sequence is:
      
       1) Current governor is userspace.  An application tries to set the
          governor to ondemand.  It will call __cpufreq_set_policy() in
          which it will stop the userspace governor and then start the
          ondemand governor.
      
       2) Current governor is userspace.  The online of CPU3 runs on CPU0.
          It will call cpufreq_add_policy_cpu() in which it will first
          stop the userspace governor, and then start it again.
      
      If the sequence of the above two cases interleaves, it becomes:
      
       1) Application stops userspace governor
       2)                                  Hotplug stops userspace governor
      
      which is a problem, because the governor shouldn't be stopped twice
      in a row.  What happens next is:
      
       3) Application starts ondemand governor
       4)                                  Hotplug starts a governor
      
      In step 4, the hotplug is supposed to start the userspace governor,
      but now the governor has been changed by the application to ondemand,
      so the ondemand governor is started once again, which is incorrect.
      
      The solution is to prevent policy governors from being stopped
      multiple times in a row.  A governor should only be stopped once for
      one policy.  After it has been stopped, no more governor stop
      operations should be executed.
      
      Also add a mutex to serialize governor operations.

      Currently, there can't be multiple instances of single governor_type.
      If we have a multi-package system, where we have multiple instances

      Governors directory in sysfs is created at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/

      device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dir · 313162d0
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      The <linux/device.h> header includes a lot of stuff, and
      it in turn gets a lot of use just for the basic "struct device"
      which appears so often.
      
      Clean up the users as follows:
      
      1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer
      in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that.
      
      2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply
      delete the include altogether.
      
      3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before
      being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h
      
      4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit
      dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding
      the required header(s).
      
      Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be
      present have already been dealt with in advance.
      
      Total removals from #1 and #2: 51.  Total additions coming
      from #3: 9.  Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7.
      
      As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives
      about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/*
