Sam Ravnborg f6ebef30e2 [CPUFREQ] fix section mismatch warnings
Fix the following warnings:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xfe6711): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpufreq_unregister_driver() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpufreq_cpu_notifier
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xfe68af): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpufreq_register_driver() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpufreq_cpu_notifier
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.exit.text+0xc4fa): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpufreq_stats_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier

The warnings were casued by references to unregister_hotcpu_notifier()
from normal functions or exit functions.
This is flagged by modpost as a potential error because
it does not know that for the non HOTPLUG_CPU
scenario the unregister_hotcpu_notifier() is a nop.
Silence the warning by replacing the __initdata
annotation with a __refdata annotation.

Balaji Rao 7ab4705045 cpufreq: fix kobject reference count handling
The cpufreq core should not take an extra kobject reference count for no
reason, and then refuse to release it.  This has been reported as
keeping machines from properly powering down all the way.

Venki Pallipadi 9e76988e93 [CPUFREQ] Eliminate cpufreq_userspace scaling_setspeed deadlock
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.

Yi Yang 53391fa20c cpufreq: fix obvious condition statement error
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.). In fact, it should
return -EINVAL as well if policy->max is less than data->min.

The correct condition should be:

	if (policy->min > data->max || policy->max < data->min) {

The following test result testifies the above conclusion:

Ingo hit some BUG_ONs that were probably caused by these missing unlocks
causing an unbalance.  He couldn't reproduce the bug reliably, so it's
unknown that it's definitly fixing the problem he hit, but it's a fairly

I don't see any reason to take an expensive lock in cpufreq_quick_get()
Reading policy->cur is a single atomic operation and after
the lock is dropped again the state could change any time anyways.

So don't take the lock in the first place.

This also makes this function interrupt safe which is useful
for some code of mine.

Thomas Renninger 1c2562459f [CPUFREQ] allow ondemand and conservative cpufreq governors to be used as 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.

Negative side effect: needs NR_CPUs pointer array of memory in

Still needs userspace track keeping and rewriting of governors if governors
change while a CPU is not active (always the governor at CPU remove time is
restored).

Move of policy->user_policy.governor assignment is just a minor cleanup.

Peter Oruba 91973de736 [CPUFREQ] bugfix cpufreq in combination with performance governor
There is a frequency scaling issue that I encountered with the performance
governor in combination with CPU hotplug.

In cpufreq.c CPU frequency is reduced to its minimum before the CPU gets
unregistered and set offline.  Does that have a particular reason?

Since the (k8-)governor does not monitor CPU frequency that setting also
applies then to the remaining CPU as well and lets the system run on the
lowest frequency although performance is chose as the policy.

Rafael J. Wysocki 8bb7844286 Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplug
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).

cpufreq_set_policy (evil) is invoked which calls verify_within_limits.
max_freq gets lowered and therefore users_policy.max, which

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.

David Howells 65f27f3844 WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data
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).

Linus Torvalds b3438f8266 Add "pure_initcall" for static variable initialization
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. As reported by Thomas Gleixner:

Venkatesh Pallipadi dfde5d62ed [CPUFREQ][8/8] acpi-cpufreq: Add support for freq feedback from hardware
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.

Alan Stern b4dfdbb3c7 [PATCH] cpufreq: make the transition_notifier chain use SRCU
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.

Mattia Dongili 9c9a43ed27 [CPUFREQ] return error when failing to set minfreq
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.

Arjan van de Ven 153d7f3fca [PATCH] Reorganize the cpufreq cpu hotplug locking to not be totally bizare
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)

make sure the cpu hotplug recursive mutex (yuck) is taken early in the

Chandra Seetharaman 9c7b216d23 [PATCH] cpu hotplug: revert init patch submitted for 2.6.17
In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS.  I provided a
band-aid solution to solve that problem.  In the process, i undid all the
changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available
only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18.  Here is a set of patches that fixes the
XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time
(unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run
time.

This patch reverts the notifier_call changes made in 2.6.17
