      cpufreq: governor: Implement per policy instances of governors · 4d5dcc42
      Viresh Kumar 提交于
      Currently, there can't be multiple instances of single governor_type.
      If we have a multi-package system, where we have multiple instances
      of struct policy (per package), we can't have multiple instances of
      same governor. i.e. We can't have multiple instances of ondemand
      governor for multiple packages.
      
      Governors directory in sysfs is created at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/
      governor-name/. Which again reflects that there can be only one
      instance of a governor_type in the system.
      
      This is a bottleneck for multicluster system, where we want different
      packages to use same governor type, but with different tunables.
      
      This patch uses the infrastructure provided by earlier patch and
      implements init/exit routines for ondemand and conservative
      governors.

      must do it at policy creation and end. And so got

      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/*

      [CPUFREQ] use dynamic debug instead of custom infrastructure · 2d06d8c4
      Dominik Brodowski 提交于
      With dynamic debug having gained the capability to report debug messages
      also during the boot process, it offers a far superior interface for
      debug messages than the custom cpufreq infrastructure. As a first step,
      remove the old cpufreq_debug_printk() function and replace it with a call
      to the generic pr_debug() function.
      
      How can dynamic debug be used on cpufreq? You need a kernel which has
      CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled.
      
      To enabled debugging during runtime, mount debugfs and
      
      $ echo -n 'module cpufreq +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
      
      for debugging the complete "cpufreq" module. To achieve the same goal during
      boot, append
      
      	ddebug_query="module cpufreq +p"
      
      as a boot parameter to the kernel of your choice.

      [ACPI/CPUFREQ] Introduce bios_limit per cpu cpufreq sysfs interface · e2f74f35
      Thomas Renninger 提交于
      This interface is mainly intended (and implemented) for ACPI _PPC BIOS
      frequency limitations, but other cpufreq drivers can also use it for
      similar use-cases.
      
      Why is this needed:
      
      Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited.
      People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have
      happened by:
        - any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq
        - thermal limitations
        - hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations
      
      Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to:
        - Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits
          frequency
        - Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs.
          While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear
          more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like
          allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want
          to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations.
      
      All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch:
        - powernow-k8
        - powernow-k7
        - acpi-cpufreq
      
      Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1)
      via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit:
      # echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
      # cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
      2600000
      2600000
      2200000
      2200000
      # #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations
      
      # cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit
      2600000
      2600000
      2800000
      2800000
      # #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation

      Revert "[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod." · 129f8ae9
      Dave Jones 提交于
      This reverts commit e088e4c9.
      
      Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
      regression in bug 12826.
      
      Course of action:
       - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
         if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
         If it isn't, we need to fix that.
       - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
       - try again with the removal in six months.
      
      It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
      it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
      a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

      [CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod. · e088e4c9
      Matthew Garrett 提交于
      p4-clockmod has a long history of abuse.   It pretends to be a CPU
      frequency scaling driver, even though it doesn't actually change
      the CPU frequency, but instead just modulates the frequency with
      wait-states.
      The biggest misconception is that when running at the lower 'frequency'
      p4-clockmod is saving power.  This isn't the case, as workloads running
      slower take longer to complete, preventing the CPU from entering deep C states.
      
      However p4-clockmod does have a purpose.  It can prevent overheating.
      Having it hooked up to the cpufreq interfaces is the wrong way to achieve
      cooling however. It should instead be hooked up to ACPI.
      
      This diff introduces a means for a cpufreq driver to register with the
      cpufreq core, but not present a sysfs interface.

      [CPUFREQ] Eliminate cpufreq_userspace scaling_setspeed deadlock · 9e76988e
      Venki Pallipadi 提交于
      Eliminate cpufreq_userspace scaling_setspeed deadlock.
      
      Luming Yu recently uncovered yet another cpufreq related deadlock.
      One thread that continuously switches the governors and the other thread that
      repeatedly cats the contents of cpufreq directory causes both these threads to
      go into a deadlock.
      
      Detailed examination of the deadlock showed the exact flow before the deadlock
      as:
      
      Thread 1			Thread 2
      ________			________
      				cats files under /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/
      Set governor to userspace
        Adds a new sysfs entry for
        scaling_setspeed
      				cats files under /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/
      
      Set governor to performance
        Holds cpufreq_rw_sem in write
        mode
        Sends a STOP notify to
        userspace governor
      				cat /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/scaling_setspeed
      				  Gets a handle on the above sysfs entry with
      				  sysfs_get_active
      				  Blocks while trying to get cpufreq_rw_sem
      				  in read mode
        Remove a sysfs entry for
        scaling_setspeed
          Blocks on sysfs_deactivate
          while waiting for earlier
          get_active (on other thread)
          to drain
      
      At this point both threads go into deadlock and any other thread that tries to
      do anything with sysfs cpufreq will also block.
      
      There seems to be no easy way to avoid this deadlock as long as
      cpufreq_userspace adds/removes the sysfs entry under same kobject as cpufreq.
      Below patch moves scaling_setspeed to cpufreq.c, keeping it always and calling
      back the governor on read/write. This is the cleanest fix I could think of,
      even though adding two callbacks in governor structure just for this seems
      unnecessary.
      
      Note that the change makes scaling_setspeed under /sys/.../cpufreq permanent
      and returns <unsupported> when governor is not userspace.
