2007-02-10[CPUFREQ] Rewrite lock in cpufreq to eliminate cpufreq/hotplug related issuesVenkatesh Pallipadi
Yet another attempt to resolve cpufreq and hotplug locking issues. Patchset has 3 patches: * Rewrite the lock infrastructure of cpufreq using a per cpu rwsem. * Minor restructuring of work callback in ondemand driver. * Use the new cpufreq rwsem infrastructure in ondemand work. This patch: Convert policy->lock to rwsem and move it to per_cpu area. This rwsem will protect against both changing/accessing policy related parameters and CPU hot plug/unplug.

There was lots of #ifdef noise in the kernel due to hotcpu_notifier(fn, prio) not correctly marking 'fn' as used in the !HOTPLUG_CPU case, and thus generating compiler warnings of unused symbols, hence forcing people to add #ifdefs. the compiler can skip truly unused functions just fine: text data bss dec hex filename 1624412 728710 3674856 6027978 5bfaca vmlinux.before 1624412 728710 3674856 6027978 5bfaca vmlinux.after [akpm@osdl.org: topology.c fix] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-11-22WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context dataDavid Howells
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2006-11-20Add "pure_initcall" for static variable initializationLinus Torvalds
This is a quick hack to overcome the fact that SRCU currently does not allow static initializers, and we need to sometimes initialize those things before any other initializers (even "core" ones) can do so. Currently we don't allow this at all for modules, and the only user that needs is right now is cpufreq.

2006-10-15[CPUFREQ][8/8] acpi-cpufreq: Add support for freq feedback from hardwareVenkatesh Pallipadi
Enable ondemand governor and acpi-cpufreq to use IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSR to get active frequency feedback for the last sampling interval. This will make ondemand take right frequency decisions when hardware coordination of frequency is going on. Without APERF/MPERF, ondemand can take wrong decision at times due to underlying hardware coordination or TM2. Example: * CPU 0 and CPU 1 are hardware cooridnated. * CPU 1 running at highest frequency. * CPU 0 was running at highest freq. Now ondemand reduces it to some intermediate frequency based on utilization. * Due to underlying hardware coordination with other CPU 1, CPU 0 continues to run at highest frequency (as long as other CPU is at highest). * When ondemand samples CPU 0 again next time, without actual frequency feedback from APERF/MPERF, it will think that previous frequency change was successful and can go to wrong target frequency. This is because it thinks that utilization it has got this sampling interval is when running at intermediate frequency, rather than actual highest frequency.

2006-10-04[PATCH] cpufreq: make the transition_notifier chain use SRCUAlan Stern
This patch (as762) changes the cpufreq_transition_notifier_list from a blocking_notifier_head to an srcu_notifier_head. This will prevent errors caused attempting to call down_read() to access the notifier chain at a time when interrupts must remain disabled, during system suspend. It's not clear to me whether this is really necessary; perhaps the chain could be made into an atomic_notifier. However a couple of the callout routines do use blocking operations, so this approach seems safer. The head of the notifier chain needs to be initialized before use; this is done by an __init routine at core_initcall time. If this turns out not to be a good choice, it can easily be changed.

2006-07-31[CPUFREQ] return error when failing to set minfreqMattia Dongili
I just stumbled on this bug/feature, this is how to reproduce it: # echo 450000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq # echo 450000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq # echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor # cpufreq-info -p 450000 450000 powersave # echo 1800000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq ; echo $? 0 # cpufreq-info -p 450000 450000 powersave Here it is. The kernel refuses to set a min_freq higher than the max_freq but it allows a max_freq lower than min_freq (lowering min_freq also). This behaviour is pretty straightforward (but undocumented) and it doesn't return an error altough failing to accomplish the requested action (set min_freq). The problem (IMO) is basically that userspace is not allowed to set a full policy atomically while the kernel always does that thus it must enforce an ordering on operations. The attached patch returns -EINVAL if trying to increase frequencies starting from scaling_min_freq and documents the correct ordering of writes.

2006-07-26[PATCH] Reorganize the cpufreq cpu hotplug locking to not be totally bizareArjan van de Ven
The patch below moves the cpu hotplugging higher up in the cpufreq layering; this is needed to avoid recursive taking of the cpu hotplug lock and to otherwise detangle the mess. The new rules are: 1. you must do lock_cpu_hotplug() around the following functions: __cpufreq_driver_target __cpufreq_governor (for CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS operation only) __cpufreq_set_policy 2. governer methods (.governer) must NOT take the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock in any way; they are called with the lock taken already 3. if your governer spawns a thread that does things, like calling __cpufreq_driver_target, your thread must honor rule #1. 4. the policy lock and other cpufreq internal locks nest within the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock. I'm not entirely happy about how the __cpufreq_governor rule ended up (conditional locking rule depending on the argument) but basically all callers pass this as a constant so it's not too horrible. The patch also removes the cpufreq_governor() function since during the locking audit it turned out to be entirely unused (so no need to fix it) The patch works on my testbox, but it could use more testing (otoh... it can't be much worse than the current code) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-04-18[CPUFREQ] If max_freq got reduced (e.g. by _PPC) a write to sysfs ↵Thomas Renninger
scaling_governor let cpufreq core stuck at low max_freq for ever The previous patch had bugs (locking and refcount). This one could also be related to the latest DELL reports. But they only slip into this if a user prog (e.g. powersave daemon does when AC got (un) plugged due to a scheme change) echos something to /sys/../cpufreq/scaling_governor while the frequencies got limited by BIOS. This one works: Subject: Max freq stucks at low freq if reduced by _PPC and sysfs gov access The problem is reproducable by(if machine is limiting freqs via BIOS): - Unplugging AC -> max freq gets limited - echo ${governor} >/sys/.../cpufreq/scaling_governor (policy->user_data.max gets overridden with policy->max and will never come up again.) This patch exchanged the cpufreq_set_policy call to __cpufreq_set_policy and duplicated it's functionality but did not override user_data.max. The same happens with overridding min/max values. If freqs are limited and you override the min freq value, the max freq global value will also get stuck to the limited freq, even if BIOS allows all freqs again. Last scenario does only happen if BIOS does not reduce the frequency to the lowest value (should never happen, just for correctness...) drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c | 17 +++++++++++++++-- 1 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: "Pallipadi, Venkatesh" <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

2006-03-27[PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changesAlan Stern
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.)

2005-12-06[CPUFREQ] CPU frequency display in /proc/cpuinfoVenkatesh Pallipadi
What is the value shown in "cpu MHz" of /proc/cpuinfo when CPUs are capable of changing frequency? Today the answer is: It depends. On i386: SMP kernel - It is always the boot frequency UP kernel - Scales with the frequency change and shows that was last set. On x86_64: There is one single variable cpu_khz that gets written by all the CPUs. So, the frequency set by last CPU will be seen on /proc/cpuinfo of all the CPUs in the system. What you see also depends on whether you have constant_tsc capable CPU or not. On ia64: It is always boot time frequency of a particular CPU that gets displayed. The patch below changes this to: Show the last known frequency of the particular CPU, when cpufreq is present. If cpu doesnot support changing of frequency through cpufreq, then boot frequency will be shown. The patch affects i386, x86_64 and ia64 architectures.

2005-11-28[PATCH] clean up lock_cpu_hotplug() in cpufreqAshok Raj
There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest function calls lock_cpu_hotplug(). The lock is already held during cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to registered clients. Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup. Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in all places. - Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static. - removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug() so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock. - Removed current_in_hotplug() uses - Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug() temporary workaround. Tested with insmod of cpufreq_stat.ko, and logical online/offline to make sure we dont have any hang situations.

2005-11-09[PATCH] cpu hotplug: fix locking in cpufreq driversAshok Raj
When calling target drivers to set frequency, we take cpucontrol lock. When we modified the code to accomodate CPU hotplug, there was an attempt to take a double lock of cpucontrol leading to a deadlock. Since the current thread context is already holding the cpucontrol lock, we dont need to make another attempt to acquire it. Now we leave a trace in current->flags indicating current thread already is under cpucontrol lock held, so we dont attempt to do this another time. Thanks to Andrew Morton for the beating:-) From: Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@ens-lyon.org> Build fix (akpm: this patch is still unpleasant.

2005-10-30[PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiersAshok Raj
cpufreq entries in sysfs should only be populated when CPU is online state. When we either boot with maxcpus=x and then boot the other cpus by echoing to sysfs online file, these entries should be created and destroyed when CPU_DEAD is notified. Same treatement as cache entries under sysfs. We place the processor in the lowest frequency, so hw managed P-State transitions can still work on the other threads to save power. Primary goal was to just make these directories appear/disapper dynamically. There is one in this patch i had to do, which i really dont like myself but probably best if someone handling the cpufreq infrastructure could give this code right treatment if this is not acceptable. I guess its probably good for the first cut. - Converting lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() to disable/enable preempt. The locking was smack in the middle of the notification path, when the hotplug is already holding the lock. I tried another solution to avoid this so avoid taking locks if we know we are from notification path. The solution was getting very ugly and i decided this was probably good for this iteration until someone who understands cpufreq could do a better job than me.
