      nohz: Fix update_ts_time_stat idle accounting · 6beea0cd
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      update_ts_time_stat currently updates idle time even if we are in
      iowait loop at the moment. The only real users of the idle counter
      (via get_cpu_idle_time_us) are CPU governors and they expect to get
      cumulative time for both idle and iowait times.
      The value (idle_sleeptime) is also printed to userspace by print_cpu
      but it prints both idle and iowait times so the idle part is misleading.
      
      Let's clean this up and fix update_ts_time_stat to account both counters
      properly and update consumers of idle to consider iowait time as well.
      If we do this we might use get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us from other
      contexts as well and we will get expected values.

      [CPUFREQ] add sampling_down_factor tunable to improve ondemand performance · 3f78a9f7
      David C Niemi 提交于
      Adds a new global tunable, sampling_down_factor.  Set to 1 it makes no
      changes from existing behavior, but set to greater than 1 (e.g. 100)
      it acts as a multiplier for the scheduling interval for reevaluating
      load when the CPU is at its top speed due to high load.  This improves
      performance by reducing the overhead of load evaluation and helping
      the CPU stay at its top speed when truly busy, rather than shifting
      back and forth in speed.  This tunable has no effect on behavior at
      lower speeds/lower CPU loads.
      
      This patch is against 2.6.36-rc6.
      
      This patch should help solve kernel bug 19672 "ondemand is slow".

      [CPUFREQ] ondemand - Use global sysfs dir for tuning settings · 0e625ac1
      Thomas Renninger 提交于
      Ondemand has only global variables for userspace tunings via sysfs.
      But they were exposed per CPU which wrongly implies to the user that
      his settings are applied per cpu. Also locking sysfs against concurrent
      access won't be necessary anymore after deprecation time.
      
      This means the ondemand config dir is moved:
      /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/ondemand ->
           /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand
      
      The old files will still exist, but reading or writing to them will
      result in one (printk_once) deprecation msg to syslog per file.

      cpufreq fix timer teardown in ondemand governor
      
      The problem is that dbs_timer_exit() uses cancel_delayed_work() when it should
      use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). cancel_delayed_work() does not wait for the
      workqueue handler to exit.
      
      The ondemand governor does not seem to be affected because the
      "if (!dbs_info->enable)" check at the beginning of the workqueue handler returns
      immediately without rescheduling the work. The conservative governor in
      2.6.30-rc has the same check as the ondemand governor, which makes things
      usually run smoothly. However, if the governor is quickly stopped and then
      started, this could lead to the following race :
      
      dbs_enable could be reenabled and multiple do_dbs_timer handlers would run.
      This is why a synchronized teardown is required.
      
      The following patch applies to, at least, 2.6.28.x, 2.6.29.1, 2.6.30-rc2.

      cpufreq: Initialise default governor before use · 6915719b
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      When the cpufreq driver starts up at boot time, it calls into the default
      governor which might not be initialised yet.  This hurts when the
      governor's worker function relies on memory that is not yet set up by its
      init function.
      
      This migrates all governors from module_init() to fs_initcall() when being
      the default, as was already done in cpufreq_performance when it was the
      only possible choice.  The performance governor is always initialized early
      because it might be used as fallback even when not being the default.
      
      Fixes at least one actual oops where ondemand is the default governor and
      cpufreq_governor_dbs() uses the uninitialised kondemand_wq work-queue
      during boot-time.

      [CPUFREQ] allow ondemand and conservative cpufreq governors to be used as default · 1c256245
      Thomas Renninger 提交于
      Depending on the transition latency of the HW for cpufreq switches, the
      ondemand or conservative governor cannot be used with certain cpufreq
      drivers.  Still the ondemand should be the default governor on a wide range
      of systems.  This patch allows this and lets the governor fallback to the
      performance governor at cpufreq driver load time, if the driver does not
      support fast enough frequency switching.
      
      Main benefit is that on e.g.  installation or other systems without
      userspace support a working dynamic cpufreq support can be achieved on most
      systems by simply loading the cpufreq driver.  This is especially essential
      for recent x86(_64) laptop hardware which may rely on working dynamic
      cpufreq OS support.
