2022-03-10cpufreq: unify show() and store() naming and use __ATTR_XXLianjie Zhang1-5/+5
Usually, sysfs attributes have .show and .store and their naming convention is filename_show() and filename_store(). But in cpufreq the naming convention of these functions is show_filename() and store_filename() which prevents __ATTR_RW() and __ATTR_RO() from being used in there to simplify code. Accordingly, change the naming convention of the sysfs .show and .store methods in cpufreq to follow the one expected by __ATTR_RW() and __ATTR_RO() and use these macros in that code.

2020-07-02cpufreq: Register governors at core_initcallQuentin Perret1-18/+6
Currently, most CPUFreq governors are registered at the core_initcall time when the given governor is the default one, and the module_init time otherwise. In preparation for letting users specify the default governor on the kernel command line, change all of them to be registered at the core_initcall unconditionally, as it is already the case for the schedutil and performance governors. This will allow us to assume that builtin governors have been registered before the built-in CPUFreq drivers probe. And since all governors have similar init/exit patterns now, introduce two new macros, cpufreq_governor_{init,exit}(), to factorize the code.

2017-07-22cpufreq: governor: Drop min_sampling_rateViresh Kumar1-12/+0
The cpufreq core and governors aren't supposed to set a limit on how fast we want to try changing the frequency. This is currently done for the legacy governors with help of min_sampling_rate. At worst, we may end up setting the sampling rate to a value lower than the rate at which frequency can be changed and then one of the CPUs in the policy will be only changing frequency for ever. But that is something for the user to decide and there is no need to have special handling for such cases in the core. Leave it for the user to figure out.

Directly use the policy->freq_table field instead for them. Only one user of that API is left after above changes, cpu_cooling.c and it accesses the freq_table in a racy way as the policy can get freed in between. Fix it by using cpufreq_cpu_get() properly.

2016-06-03cpufreq: Drop the 'initialized' field from struct cpufreq_governorRafael J. Wysocki1-2/+2
The 'initialized' field in struct cpufreq_governor is only used by the conservative governor (as a usage counter) and the way that happens is far from straightforward and arguably incorrect. Namely, the value of 'initialized' is checked by cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() and cpufreq_dbs_governor_exit() and the results of those checks are passed (as the second argument) to the ->init() and ->exit() callbacks in struct dbs_governor. Those callbacks are only implemented by the ondemand and conservative governors and ondemand doesn't use their second argument at all. In turn, the conservative governor uses it to decide whether or not to either register or unregister a transition notifier. That whole mechanism is not only unnecessarily convoluted, but also racy, because the 'initialized' field of struct cpufreq_governor is updated in cpufreq_init_governor() and cpufreq_exit_governor() under policy->rwsem which doesn't help if one of these functions is run twice in parallel for different policies (which isn't impossible in principle), for example. Instead of it, add a proper usage counter to the conservative governor and update it from cs_init() and cs_exit() which is guaranteed to be non-racy, as those functions are only called under gov_dbs_data_mutex which is global. With that in place, drop the 'initialized' field from struct cpufreq_governor as it is not used any more. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2016-06-03cpufreq: governor: Get rid of governor eventsRafael J. Wysocki1-6/+1
The design of the cpufreq governor API is not very straightforward, as struct cpufreq_governor provides only one callback to be invoked from different code paths for different purposes. The purpose it is invoked for is determined by its second "event" argument, causing it to act as a "callback multiplexer" of sorts. Unfortunately, that leads to extra complexity in governors, some of which implement the ->governor() callback as a switch statement that simply checks the event argument and invokes a separate function to handle that specific event. That extra complexity can be eliminated by replacing the all-purpose ->governor() callback with a family of callbacks to carry out specific governor operations: initialization and exit, start and stop and policy limits updates. That also turns out to reduce the code size too, so do it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> Acked-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

In addition to fields representing governor tunables, struct dbs_data contains some fields needed for the management of objects of that type. As it turns out, that part of struct dbs_data may be shared with (future) governors that won't use the common code used by "ondemand" and "conservative", so move it to a separate struct type and modify the code using struct dbs_data to follow.

After previous changes there is only one piece of code in the ondemand governor making references to per-CPU data structures, but it can be easily modified to avoid doing that, so modify it accordingly and move the definition of per-CPU data used by the ondemand and conservative governors to the common code. Next, change that code to access the per-CPU data structures directly rather than via a governor callback. This causes the ->get_cpu_cdbs governor callback to become unnecessary, so drop it along with the macro and function definitions related to it. Finally, drop the definitions of struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s that aren't necessary any more. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Make governor private data per-policyRafael J. Wysocki1-10/+24
Some fields in struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s are only used for a limited set of CPUs. Namely, if a policy is shared between multiple CPUs, those fields will only be used for one of them (policy->cpu). This means that they really are per-policy rather than per-CPU and holding room for them in per-CPU data structures is generally wasteful. Also moving those fields into per-policy data structures will allow some significant simplifications to be made going forward. For this reason, introduce struct cs_policy_dbs_info and struct od_policy_dbs_info to hold those fields. Define each of the new structures as an extension of struct policy_dbs_info (such that struct policy_dbs_info is embedded in each of them) and introduce new ->alloc and ->free governor callbacks to allocate and free those structures, respectively, such that ->alloc() will return a pointer to the struct policy_dbs_info embedded in the allocated data structure and ->free() will take that pointer as its argument. With that, modify the code accessing the data fields in question in per-CPU data objects to look for them in the new structures via the struct policy_dbs_info pointer available to it and drop them from struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s.

The ondemand_powersave_bias_init() function used for resetting data fields related to the powersave bias tunable of the ondemand governor works by walking all of the online CPUs in the system and updating the od_cpu_dbs_info_s structures for all of them. However, if governor tunables are per policy, the update should not touch the CPUs that are not associated with the given dbs_data. Moreover, since the data fields in question are only ever used for policy->cpu in each policy governed by ondemand, the update can be limited to those specific CPUs.

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Fix CPU load information updates via ->storeRafael J. Wysocki1-18/+4
The ->store() callbacks of some tunable sysfs attributes of the ondemand and conservative governors trigger immediate updates of the CPU load information for all CPUs "governed" by the given dbs_data by walking the cpu_dbs_info structures for all online CPUs in the system and updating them. This is questionable for two reasons. First, it may lead to a lot of extra overhead on a system with many CPUs if the given dbs_data is only associated with a few of them. Second, if governor tunables are per-policy, the CPUs associated with the other sets of governor tunables should not be updated. To address this issue, use the observation that in all of the places in question the update operation may be carried out in the same way (because all of the tunables involved are now located in struct dbs_data and readily available to the common code) and make the code in those places invoke the same (new) helper function that will carry out the update correctly. That new function always checks the ignore_nice_load tunable value and updates the CPUs' prev_cpu_nice data fields if that's set, which wasn't done by the original code in store_io_is_busy(), but it should have been done in there too.

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Get rid of the ->gov_check_cpu callbackRafael J. Wysocki1-6/+9
The way the ->gov_check_cpu governor callback is used by the ondemand and conservative governors is not really straightforward. Namely, the governor calls dbs_check_cpu() that updates the load information for the policy and the invokes ->gov_check_cpu() for the governor. To get rid of that entanglement, notice that cpufreq_governor_limits() doesn't need to call dbs_check_cpu() directly. Instead, it can simply reset the sample delay to 0 which will cause a sample to be taken immediately. The result of that is practically equivalent to calling dbs_check_cpu() except that it will trigger a full update of governor internal state and not just the ->gov_check_cpu() part. Following that observation, make cpufreq_governor_limits() reset the sample delay and turn dbs_check_cpu() into a function that will simply evaluate the load and return the result called dbs_update(). That function can now be called by governors from the routines that previously were pointed to by ->gov_check_cpu and those routines can be called directly by each governor instead of dbs_check_cpu(). This way ->gov_check_cpu becomes unnecessary, so drop it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> Acked-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Create and traverse list of policy_dbs to avoid deadlockViresh Kumar1-59/+30
The dbs_data_mutex lock is currently used in two places. First, cpufreq_governor_dbs() uses it to guarantee mutual exclusion between invocations of governor operations from the core. Second, it is used by ondemand governor's update_sampling_rate() to ensure the stability of data structures walked by it. The second usage is quite problematic, because update_sampling_rate() is called from a governor sysfs attribute's ->store callback and that leads to a deadlock scenario involving cpufreq_governor_exit() which runs under dbs_data_mutex. Thus it is better to rework the code so update_sampling_rate() doesn't need to acquire dbs_data_mutex. To that end, rework update_sampling_rate() to walk a list of policy_dbs objects supported by the dbs_data one it has been called for (instead of walking cpu_dbs_info object for all CPUs). The list manipulation is protected with dbs_data->mutex which also is held around the execution of update_sampling_rate(), it is not necessary to hold dbs_data_mutex in that function any more.

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: New sysfs show/store callbacks for governor tunablesViresh Kumar1-47/+25
The ondemand and conservative governors use the global-attr or freq-attr structures to represent sysfs attributes corresponding to their tunables (which of them is actually used depends on whether or not different policy objects can use the same governor with different tunables at the same time and, consequently, on where those attributes are located in sysfs). Unfortunately, in the freq-attr case, the standard cpufreq show/store sysfs attribute callbacks are applied to the governor tunable attributes and they always acquire the policy->rwsem lock before carrying out the operation. That may lead to an ABBA deadlock if governor tunable attributes are removed under policy->rwsem while one of them is being accessed concurrently (if sysfs attributes removal wins the race, it will wait for the access to complete with policy->rwsem held while the attribute callback will block on policy->rwsem indefinitely). We attempted to address this issue by dropping policy->rwsem around governor tunable attributes removal (that is, around invocations of the ->governor callback with the event arg equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT) in cpufreq_set_policy(), but that opened up race conditions that had not been possible with policy->rwsem held all the time. Therefore policy->rwsem cannot be dropped in cpufreq_set_policy() at any point, but the deadlock situation described above must be avoided too. To that end, use the observation that in principle governor tunables may be represented by the same data type regardless of whether the governor is system-wide or per-policy and introduce a new structure, struct governor_attr, for representing them and new corresponding macros for creating show/store sysfs callbacks for them. Also make their parent kobject use a new kobject type whose default show/store callbacks are not related to the standard core cpufreq ones in any way (and they don't acquire policy->rwsem in particular).

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Move common tunables to 'struct dbs_data'Viresh Kumar1-23/+18
There are a few common tunables shared between the ondemand and conservative governors. Move them to struct dbs_data to simplify code.

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Create generic macro for common tunablesViresh Kumar1-4/+4
Some tunables are present in governor-specific structures, whereas one (min_sampling_rate) is located directly in struct dbs_data. There is a special macro for creating its sysfs attribute and the show/store callbacks, but since more tunables are going to be moved to struct dbs_data, a new generic macro for such cases will be useful, so add it and use it for min_sampling_rate.

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Rearrange governor data structuresRafael J. Wysocki1-7/+11
The struct policy_dbs_info objects representing per-policy governor data are not accessible directly from the corresponding policy objects. To access them, one has to get a pointer to the struct cpu_dbs_info of policy->cpu and use the policy_dbs field of that which isn't really straightforward. To address that rearrange the governor data structures so the governor_data pointer in struct cpufreq_policy will point to struct policy_dbs_info (instead of struct dbs_data) and that will contain a pointer to struct dbs_data.

The struct cpu_common_dbs_info structure represents the per-policy part of the governor data (for the ondemand and conservative governors), but its name doesn't reflect its purpose.

Since it is possible to obtain a pointer to struct dbs_governor from a pointer to the struct governor embedded in it with the help of container_of(), the additional gov pointer in struct dbs_data isn't really necessary.

Since it is possible to obtain a pointer to struct dbs_governor from a pointer to the struct governor embedded in it via container_of(), the second argument of cpufreq_governor_init() is not necessary. Accordingly, cpufreq_governor_dbs() doesn't need its second argument either and the ->governor callbacks for both the ondemand and conservative governors may be set to cpufreq_governor_dbs() directly.

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Put governor structure into common_dbs_dataRafael J. Wysocki1-13/+15
For the ondemand and conservative governors (generally, governors that use the common code in cpufreq_governor.c), there are two static data structures representing the governor, the struct governor structure (the interface to the cpufreq core) and the struct common_dbs_data one (the interface to the cpufreq_governor.c code). There's no fundamental reason why those two structures have to be separate. Moreover, if the struct governor one is included into struct common_dbs_data, it will be possible to reach the latter from the policy via its policy->governor pointer, so it won't be necessary to pass a separate pointer to it around. For this reason, embed struct governor in struct common_dbs_data. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
