2008-04-28[CPUFREQ] state info wrong after resumeShaohua Li
Sometimes old_index != stat->last_index, see cpufreq_update_policy, bios can change cpu setting in resume. In my test, after resume cpu is in lowest speed, but the stat info shows cpu is in full speed. This patch makes the stat info correct after a resume.

2008-04-28[CPUFREQ] expose cpufreq coordination requirements regardless of ↵Darrick J. Wong
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.

2008-02-06[CPUFREQ] Eliminate cpufreq_userspace scaling_setspeed deadlockVenki Pallipadi
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.

The function __cpufreq_set_policy in file drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c has a very obvious error: if (policy->min > data->min && policy->min > policy->max) { ret = -EINVAL; goto error_out; } This condtion statement is wrong because it returns -EINVAL only if policy->min is greater than policy->max (in this case, "policy->min > data->min" is true for ever.).

2008-01-17cpufreq: Initialise default governor before useJohannes Weiner
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.

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.

2007-07-11sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

2007-06-21[CPUFREQ] ondemand: fix tickless accounting and software coordination bugVenki Pallipadi
With tickless kernel and software coordination os P-states, ondemand can look at wrong idle statistics. This can happen when ondemand sampling is happening on CPU 0 and due to software coordination sampling also looks at utilization of CPU 1. If CPU 1 is in tickless state at that moment, its idle statistics will not be uptodate and CPU 0 thinks CPU 1 is idle for less amount of time than it actually is. This can be resolved by looking at all the busy times of CPUs, which is accurate, even with tickless, and use that to determine idle time in a round about way (total time - busy time).

2007-05-09Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplugRafael J. Wysocki
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

2007-05-08Add a new deferrable delayed work initVenki Pallipadi
Add a new deferrable delayed work init. This can be used to schedule work that are 'unimportant' when CPU is idle and can be called later, when CPU eventually comes out of idle. Use this init in cpufreq ondemand governor.

References: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231107 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=264077 Fix limited cpufreq when booted on battery If booted on battery: cpufreq_set_policy (evil) is invoked which calls verify_within_limits. max_freq gets lowered and therefore users_policy.max, which is used to restore higher freqs via update_policy later is set to the already limited frequency -> you can never go up again, even BIOS allows higher freqs later.

2007-03-27[PATCH] Fix maxcpus=1 trigerring BUG() in cpufreqVenki Pallipadi
Ingo reported it on lkml in the thread "2.6.21-rc5: maxcpus=1 crash in cpufreq: kernel BUG at drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c:82!" This check added to remove_dev is symmetric to one in add_dev and handles callbacks for offline cpus cleanly.

2007-02-26Revert "[CPUFREQ] constify cpufreq_driver where possible."Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit aeeddc1435c37fa3fc844f31d39c185b08de4158, which was half-baked and broken. It just resulted in compile errors, since cpufreq_register_driver() still changes the 'driver_data' by setting bits in the flags field. So claiming it is 'const' _really_ doesn't work.
