2013-07-04cpufreq: Fix serialization of frequency transitionsViresh Kumar1-1/+1
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.

2013-06-27acpi-cpufreq: Add new sysfs attribute freqdomain_cpusLan Tianyu1-0/+3
Commits fcf8058 (cpufreq: Simplify cpufreq_add_dev()) and aa77a52 (cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: Don't set policy->related_cpus from .init()) changed the contents of the "related_cpus" sysfs attribute on systems where acpi-cpufreq is used and user space can't get the list of CPUs which are in the same hardware coordination CPU domain (provided by the ACPI AML method _PSD) via "related_cpus" any more. To make up for that loss add a new sysfs attribute "freqdomian_cpus" for the acpi-cpufreq driver which exposes the list of CPUs in the same domain regardless of whether it is coordinated by hardware or software.

2013-06-27cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are serializedViresh Kumar1-0/+1
Whenever we are changing frequency of a cpu, we are calling PRECHANGE and POSTCHANGE notifiers. They must be serialized. i.e. PRECHANGE or POSTCHANGE shouldn't be called twice contiguously. This can happen due to bugs in users of __cpufreq_driver_target() or actual cpufreq drivers who are sending these notifiers. This patch adds some protection against this. Now, we keep track of the last transaction and see if something went wrong. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

2013-06-21cpufreq: Fix governor start/stop race conditionXiaoguang Chen1-0/+1
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. [rjw: Changelog.

The "index" field of struct cpufreq_frequency_table was never an index and isn't used at all by the cpufreq core. It only is useful for cpufreq drivers for their internal purposes. Many people nowadays blindly set it in ascending order with the assumption that the core will use it, which is a mistake. Rename it to "driver_data" as that's what its purpose is.

2013-04-01cpufreq: governor: Implement per policy instances of governorsViresh Kumar1-0/+8
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.

2013-02-02cpufreq: Simplify __cpufreq_remove_dev()Viresh Kumar1-5/+9
__cpufreq_remove_dev() is called on multiple occasions: cpufreq_driver unregister and cpu removals. Current implementation of this routine is overly complex without much need. If the cpu to be removed is the policy->cpu, we remove the policy first and add all other cpus again from policy->cpus and then finally call __cpufreq_remove_dev() again to remove the cpu to be deleted. Haahhhh.. There exist a simple solution to removal of a cpu: - Simply use the old policy structure - update its fields like: policy->cpu, etc. - notify any users of cpufreq, which depend on changing policy->cpu Hence this patch, which tries to implement the above theory. It is tested well by myself on ARM big.LITTLE TC2 SoC, which has 5 cores (2 A15 and 3 A7). Both A15's share same struct policy and all A7's share same policy structure.

2012-11-15cpufreq / core: Fix printing of governor and driver nameviresh kumar1-0/+2
Arrays for governer and driver name are of size CPUFREQ_NAME_LEN or 16. i.e. 15 bytes for name and 1 for trailing '\0'. When cpufreq driver print these names (for sysfs), it includes '\n' or ' ' in the fmt string and still passes length as CPUFREQ_NAME_LEN. If the driver or governor names are using all 15 fields allocated to them, then the trailing '\n' or ' ' will never be printed. And so commands like: root@linaro-developer# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver will print something like: cpufreq_foodrvroot@linaro-developer# Fix this by increasing print length by one character.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux Pull <linux/device.h> avoidance patches from Paul Gortmaker: "Nearly every subsystem has some kind of header with a proto like: void foo(struct device *dev); and yet there is no reason for most of these guys to care about the sub fields within the device struct. This allows us to significantly reduce the scope of headers including headers. For this instance, a reduction of about 40% is achieved by replacing the include with the simple fact that the device is some kind of a struct. Unlike the much larger module.h cleanup, this one is simply two commits. One to fix the implicit <linux/device.h> users, and then one to delete the device.h includes from the linux/include/ dir wherever possible." * tag 'device-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dir device.h: cleanup users outside of linux/include (C files)
2012-03-16device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dirPaul Gortmaker1-1/+0
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/* Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

2011-05-04[CPUFREQ] use dynamic debug instead of custom infrastructureDominik Brodowski1-19/+0
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.

2009-11-24[ACPI/CPUFREQ] Introduce bios_limit per cpu cpufreq sysfs interfaceThomas Renninger1-0/+1
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 CC: Pallipadi Venkatesh <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> CC: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> CC: davej@codemonkey.org.uk CC: linux@dominikbrodowski.net Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

This reverts commit e088e4c9cdb618675874becb91b2fd581ee707e6. Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a regression in bug 12826.

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.

2008-12-05[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod.Matthew Garrett1-0/+1
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.

Add a cpu parameter to __cpufreq_driver_getavg(). This is needed for software cpufreq coordination where policy->cpu may not be same as the CPU on which we want to getavg frequency. A follow-on patch will use this parameter to getavg freq from all cpus in policy->cpus. Change since last patch.

2008-07-30cpufreq acpi: only call _PPC after cpufreq ACPI init funcs got called alreadyThomas Renninger1-0/+1
Ingo Molnar provided a fix to not call _PPC at processor driver initialization time in "[PATCH] ACPI: fix cpufreq regression" (git commit e4233dec749a3519069d9390561b5636a75c7579) But it can still happen that _PPC is called at processor driver initialization time. This patch should make sure that this is not possible anymore.

2008-04-29[CPUFREQ] expose cpufreq coordination requirements regardless of ↵Darrick J. Wong1-1/+2
coordination mechanism Currently, affected_cpus shows which CPUs need to have their frequency coordinated in software. When hardware coordination is in use, the contents of this file appear the same as when no coordination is required. This can lead to some confusion among user-space programs, for example, that do not know that extra coordination is required to force a CPU core to a particular speed to control power consumption. To fix this, create a "related_cpus" attribute that always displays the coordination map regardless of whatever coordination strategy the cpufreq driver uses (sw or hw). If the cpufreq driver does not provide a value, fall back to policy->cpus. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2008-02-07[CPUFREQ] Eliminate cpufreq_userspace scaling_setspeed deadlockVenki Pallipadi1-0/+4
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.

Callsites such as arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c are having to open-code #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_FREQ only to be able to get at the full definition of cpufreq_unregister_notifier(), because no empty stub is available for the !CONFIG_CPU_FREQ case. Let's provide one, to be able to remove such #ifdef's from the rest of the kernel tree -- those will come in a subsequent patch.

2007-10-05[CPUFREQ] allow ondemand and conservative cpufreq governors to be used as ↵Thomas Renninger1-3/+17
default 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.
