During cpufreq driver's registration, if the ->init() callback for all
the CPUs fail then there is not much point in keeping the driver around
as it will only account for more of unnecessary noise, for example
cpufreq core will try to suspend/resume the driver which never got
registered properly.
The removal of such a driver is avoided if the driver carries the
CPUFREQ_STICKY flag. This was added way back [1] in 2004 and perhaps no
one should ever need it now. A lot of drivers do set this flag, probably
because they just copied it from other drivers.
This was added earlier for some platforms [2] because their cpufreq
drivers were getting registered before the CPUs were registered with
subsys framework. And hence they used to fail.
The same isn't true anymore though. The current code flow in the kernel
is:
start_kernel()
-> kernel_init()
-> kernel_init_freeable()
-> do_basic_setup()
-> driver_init()
-> cpu_dev_init()
-> subsys_system_register() //For CPUs
-> do_initcalls()
-> cpufreq_register_driver()
Clearly, the CPUs will always get registered with subsys framework
before any cpufreq driver can get probed. Remove the flag and update the
relevant drivers.

To properly scale its per-entity load-tracking signals, the task scheduler
needs to be given a frequency scale factor, i.e. some image of the current
frequency the CPU is running at. Currently, this scale can be computed
either by using counters (APERF/MPERF on x86, AMU on arm64), or by
piggy-backing on the frequency selection done by cpufreq.
For the latter, drivers have to explicitly set the scale factor
themselves, despite it being purely boiler-plate code: the required
information depends entirely on the kind of frequency switch callback
implemented by the driver, i.e. either of: target_index(), target(),
fast_switch() and setpolicy().
The fitness of those callbacks with regard to driving the Frequency
Invariance Engine (FIE) is studied below:
target_index()
==============
Documentation states that the chosen frequency "must be determined by
freq_table[index].frequency". It isn't clear if it *has* to be that
frequency, or if it can use that frequency value to do some computation
that ultimately leads to a different frequency selection. All drivers
go for the former, while the vexpress-spc-cpufreq has an atypical
implementation which is handled separately.
Therefore, the hook works on the assumption the core can use
freq_table[index].frequency.
target()
=======
This has been flagged as deprecated since:
commit 9c0ebcf78f ("cpufreq: Implement light weight ->target_index() routine")
It also doesn't have that many users:
gx-suspmod.c:439: .target = cpufreq_gx_target,
s3c24xx-cpufreq.c:428: .target = s3c_cpufreq_target,
intel_pstate.c:2528: .target = intel_cpufreq_target,
cppc_cpufreq.c:401: .target = cppc_cpufreq_set_target,
cpufreq-nforce2.c:371: .target = nforce2_target,
sh-cpufreq.c:163: .target = sh_cpufreq_target,
pcc-cpufreq.c:573: .target = pcc_cpufreq_target,
Similarly to the path taken for target_index() calls in the cpufreq core
during a frequency change, all of the drivers above will mark the end of a
frequency change by a call to cpufreq_freq_transition_end().
Therefore, cpufreq_freq_transition_end() can be used as the location for
the arch_set_freq_scale() call to potentially inform the scheduler of the
frequency change.
This change maintains the previous functionality for the drivers that
implement the target_index() callback, while also adding support for the
few drivers that implement the deprecated target() callback.
fast_switch()
=============
This callback *has* to return the frequency that was selected.
setpolicy()
===========
This callback does not have any designated way of informing what was the
end choice. But there are only two drivers using setpolicy(), and none
of them have current FIE support:
drivers/cpufreq/longrun.c:281: .setpolicy = longrun_set_policy,
drivers/cpufreq/intel_pstate.c:2215: .setpolicy = intel_pstate_set_policy,
The intel_pstate is known to use counter-driven frequency invariance.
Conclusion
==========
Given that the significant majority of current FIE enabled drivers use
callbacks that lend themselves to triggering the setting of the FIE scale
factor in a generic way, move the invariance setter calls to cpufreq core.
As a result of setting the frequency scale factor in cpufreq core, after
callbacks that lend themselves to trigger it, remove this functionality
from the driver side.
To be noted that despite marking a successful frequency change, many
cpufreq drivers will consider the new frequency as the requested
frequency, although this is might not be the one granted by the hardware.
Therefore, the call to arch_set_freq_scale() is a "best effort" one, and
it is up to the architecture if the new frequency is used in the new
frequency scale factor setting (determined by the implementation of
arch_set_freq_scale()) or eventually used by the scheduler (determined
by the implementation of arch_scale_freq_capacity()). The architecture
is in a better position to decide if it has better methods to obtain
more accurate information regarding the current frequency and use that
information instead (for example, the use of counters).
Also, the implementation to arch_set_freq_scale() will now have to handle
error conditions (current frequency == 0) in order to prevent the
overhead in cpufreq core when the default arch_set_freq_scale()
implementation is used.

Since the commit 2a4eb7358a "OPP: Don't remove dynamic OPPs from
_dev_pm_opp_remove_table()", dynamically created OPP aren't
automatically removed anymore by dev_pm_opp_cpumask_remove_table(). This
affects the scpi and scmi cpufreq drivers which no longer free OPPs on
failures or on invocations of the policy->exit() callback.
Create a generic OPP helper dev_pm_opp_remove_all_dynamic() which can be
called from these drivers instead of dev_pm_opp_cpumask_remove_table().
In dev_pm_opp_remove_all_dynamic(), we need to make sure that the
opp_list isn't getting accessed simultaneously from other parts of the
OPP core while the helper is freeing dynamic OPPs, i.e. we can't drop
the opp_table->lock while traversing through the OPP list. And to
accomplish that, this patch also creates _opp_kref_release_unlocked()
which can be called from this new helper with the opp_table lock already
held.

Commit 343a8d17fa (cpufreq: scpi: remove arm_big_little dependency)
changed the cpufreq driver on juno from arm_big_little to scpi.
The scpi set_target function does not call the frequency-invariance
setter function arch_set_freq_scale() like the arm_big_little set_target
function does. As a result the task scheduler load and utilization
signals are not frequency-invariant on this platform anymore.
Fix this by adding a call to arch_set_freq_scale() into
scpi_cpufreq_set_target().

The dependency on physical_package_id from the topology to get the
cluster identifier is wrong. The concept of cluster used in ARM topology
is unfortunately not well defined in the architecture, we should avoid
using it. Further the frequency domain need not be mapped to so called
"clusters" one to one.
SCPI already provides means to obtain the frequency domain id from the
device tree. In order to support some new topologies(e.g. DSU which
contains 2 frequency domains within the physical cluster), pseudo
clusters are created to make this driver work which is wrong again.
In order to solve those issues and also remove dependency of topological
physical id for frequency domain, this patch removes the arm_big_little
dependency from scpi driver.

Currently when performing random CPU hot-plugs and suspend-to-ram(S2R)
on systems using arm_big_little cpufreq driver, we get warnings similar
to something like below:
cpu cpu1: _opp_add: duplicate OPPs detected. Existing: freq: 600000000,
volt: 800000, enabled: 1. New: freq: 600000000, volt: 800000, enabled: 1
This is mainly because the OPPs for the shared cpus are not set. We can
just use dev_pm_opp_of_cpumask_add_table in case the OPPs are obtained
from DT(arm_big_little_dt.c) or use dev_pm_opp_set_sharing_cpus if the
OPPs are obtained by other means like firmware(e.g. scpi-cpufreq.c)
Also now that the generic dev_pm_opp{,_of}_cpumask_remove_table can
handle removal of opp table and entries for all associated CPUs, we can
re-use dev_pm_opp{,_of}_cpumask_remove_table as free_opp_table in
cpufreq_arm_bL_ops.
This patch makes necessary changes to reuse the generic OPP functions for
{init,free}_opp_table and thereby eliminating the warnings.
