- 'S' is used for Siemens (electrical conductance) in SI units,

When a CPU is hot removed we'll cancel all the delayed work items
via gov_cancel_work(). Normally this will just cancels a delayed
timer on each CPU that the policy is managing and the work won't
run, but if the work is already running the workqueue code will
wait for the work to finish before continuing to prevent the
work items from re-queuing themselves like they normally do. This
scheme will work most of the time, except for the case where the
work function determines that it should adjust the delay for all
other CPUs that the policy is managing. If this scenario occurs,
the canceling CPU will cancel its own work but queue up the other
CPUs works to run. For example:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
cpu_down()
...
__cpufreq_remove_dev()
cpufreq_governor_dbs()
case CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP:
gov_cancel_work(dbs_data, policy);
cpu0 work is canceled
timer is canceled
cpu1 work is canceled <work runs>
<waits for cpu1> od_dbs_timer()
gov_queue_work(*, *, true);
cpu0 work queued
cpu1 work queued
cpu2 work queued
...
cpu1 work is canceled
cpu2 work is canceled
...
At the end of the GOV_STOP case cpu0 still has a work queued to
run although the code is expecting all of the works to be
canceled. __cpufreq_remove_dev() will then proceed to
re-initialize all the other CPUs works except for the CPU that is
going down. The CPUFREQ_GOV_START case in cpufreq_governor_dbs()
will trample over the queued work and debugobjects will spit out
a warning:

This patch addresses the following issues in the header files in the
cpufreq core:
- Include headers in ascending order, so that we don't add same
many times by mistake.
- <asm/> must be included after <linux/>, so that they override
whatever they need to.
- Remove unnecessary includes.
- Don't include files already included by cpufreq.h or
cpufreq_governor.h.

The ondemand governor calculates load in terms of frequency and
increases it only if load_freq is greater than up_threshold
multiplied by the current or average frequency. This appears to
produce oscillations of frequency between min and max because,
for example, a relatively small load can easily saturate minimum
frequency and lead the CPU to the max. Then, it will decrease
back to the min due to small load_freq.
Change the calculation method of load and target frequency on the
basis of the following two observations:
- Load computation should not depend on the current or average
measured frequency. For example, absolute load of 80% at 100MHz
is not necessarily equivalent to 8% at 1000MHz in the next
sampling interval.
- It should be possible to increase the target frequency to any
value present in the frequency table proportional to the absolute
load, rather than to the max only, so that:
Target frequency = C * load
where we take C = policy->cpuinfo.max_freq / 100.
Tested on Intel i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz and on Quad core 1500MHz Krait.
Phoronix benchmark of Linux Kernel Compilation 3.1 test shows an
increase ~1.5% in performance. cpufreq_stats (time_in_state) shows
that middle frequencies are used more, with this patch. Highest
and lowest frequencies were used less by ~9%.
[rjw: We have run multiple other tests on kernels with this
change applied and in the vast majority of cases it turns out
that the resulting performance improvement also leads to reduced
consumption of energy. The change is additionally justified by
the overall simplification of the code in question.]

[ 60.280582] smpboot: CPU 1 is now offline
The intention of that commit was to avoid warnings during CPU
hotplug, which indicated that offline CPUs were getting IPIs from the
cpufreq governor's work items. But the real root-cause of that
problem was commit a66b2e5 (cpufreq: Preserve sysfs files across
suspend/resume) because it totally skipped all the cpufreq callbacks
during CPU hotplug in the suspend/resume path, and hence it never
actually shut down the cpufreq governor's worker threads during CPU
offline in the suspend/resume path.
Reflecting back, the reason why we never suspected that commit as the
root-cause earlier, was that the original issue was reported with
just the halt command and nobody had brought in suspend/resume to the
equation.
The reason for _that_ in turn, as it turns out, is that earlier
halt/shutdown was being done by disabling non-boot CPUs while tasks
were frozen, just like suspend/resume.... but commit cf7df378a
(reboot: migrate shutdown/reboot to boot cpu) which came somewhere
along that very same time changed that logic: shutdown/halt no longer
takes CPUs offline. Thus, the test-cases for reproducing the bug
were vastly different and thus we went totally off the trail.
Overall, it was one hell of a confusion with so many commits
affecting each other and also affecting the symptoms of the problems
in subtle ways. Finally, now since the original problematic commit
(a66b2e5) has been completely reverted, revert this intermediate fix
too (2f7021a8), to fix the CPU hotplug deadlock. Phew!

When we don't have any file in cpu/cpufreq directory we shouldn't
create it. Specially with the introduction of per-policy governor
instance patchset, even governors are moved to
cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/governor-name directory and so this directory is
just not required.
Lets have it only when required.

Governors other than ondemand and conservative can also use
get_cpu_idle_time() and they aren't required to compile
cpufreq_governor.c. So, move these independent routines to
cpufreq.c instead.

get_governor_parent_kobj() can be used by any governor, generic
cpufreq governors or platform specific ones and so must be present in
cpufreq.c instead of cpufreq_governor.c.
This patch moves it to cpufreq.c. This also adds
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(get_governor_parent_kobj) so that modules can use
this function too.

There are two types of INIT/EXIT activities that we need to do for
governors:
- Done only once per governor (doesn't depend how many instances of
the governor there are). eg: cpufreq_register_notifier() for
conservative governor.
- Done per governor instance, eg: sysfs_{create|remove}_group().
There were some corner cases where current code isn't able to handle
them separately and so failing for some test cases.
We use two separate variables now for keeping track of above two
requirements.
- governor->initialized for first one
- dbs_data->usage_count for per governor instance

Currently we always calculate the CPU iowait time and add it to idle time.
If we are in ondemand and we use io_is_busy, we re-calculate iowait time
and we subtract it from idle time.
With this patch iowait time is calculated only when necessary avoiding
the double call to get_cpu_iowait_time_us. We use a parameter in
function get_cpu_idle_time to distinguish when the iowait time will be
added to idle time or not, without the need of keeping the prev_io_wait.

Following patch has introduced per cpu timers or works for ondemand and

commit 2abfa876f1
Author: Rickard Andersson <rickard.andersson@stericsson.com>
Date: Thu Dec 27 14:55:38 2012 +0000
cpufreq: handle SW coordinated CPUs
This causes additional unnecessary interrupts on all cpus when the load is
recently evaluated by any other cpu. i.e. When load is recently evaluated by cpu
x, we don't really need any other cpu to evaluate this load again for the next
sampling_rate time.
Some sort of code is present to avoid that but we are still getting timer
interrupts for all cpus. A good way of avoiding this would be to modify delays
for all cpus (policy->cpus) whenever any cpu has evaluated load.
This patch does this change and some related code cleanup.

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.

On multi-policy systems there is a single instance of governor for both the
policies (if same governor is chosen for both policies). With the code update
from following patches:
8eeed09 cpufreq: governors: Get rid of dbs_data->enable field
b394058 cpufreq: governors: Reset tunables only for cpufreq_unregister_governor()
We are creating/removing sysfs directory of governor for for every call to
GOV_START and STOP. This would fail for multi-policy system as there is a
per-policy call to START/STOP.
This patch reuses the governor->initialized variable to detect total users of
governor.

Currently, whenever governor->governor() is called for CPUFRREQ_GOV_START event
we reset few tunables of governor. Which isn't correct, as this routine is
called for every cpu hot-[un]plugging event. We should actually be resetting
these only when the governor module is removed and re-installed.

This patch fixes a bug that occurred when we had load on a secondary CPU
and the primary CPU was sleeping. Only one sampling timer was spawned
and it was spawned as a deferred timer on the primary CPU, so when a
secondary CPU had a change in load this was not detected by the cpufreq
governor (both ondemand and conservative).
This patch make sure that deferred timers are run on all CPUs in the
case of software controlled CPUs that run on the same frequency.

This change was made by commit 8636fd2 (cpufreq: fix jiffies/cputime
mixup in conservative/ondemand governors) before, but then it has
been reverted inadvertently by commit 4471a34 (cpufreq: governors:
remove redundant code).
The changelog of commit 8636fd2's says:
The function get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy in both the conservative and
ondemand governors use jiffies_to_usecs to convert a cputime value
to usecs which gives the wrong value on architectures where cputime
and jiffies use different units. Only matters if NO_HZ is
disabled, since otherwise get_cpu_idle_time_us should already
return a valid value, and get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy isn't actually
called.
Since now we have only one common get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy() used by
both governors in question, modify it along the lines of commit
8636fd2 to restore the correct behavior.

Initially ondemand governor was written and then using its code conservative
governor is written. It used a lot of code from ondemand governor, but copy of
code was created instead of using the same routines from both governors. Which
increased code redundancy, which is difficult to manage.
This patch is an attempt to move common part of both the governors to
cpufreq_governor.c file to come over above mentioned issues.
This shouldn't change anything from functionality point of view.

Multiple cpufreq governers have defined similar get_cpu_idle_time_***()
routines. These routines must be moved to some common place, so that all
governors can use them.
So moving them to cpufreq_governor.c, which seems to be a better place for
keeping these routines.
