After previous changes there is only one piece of code in the
ondemand governor making references to per-CPU data structures,
but it can be easily modified to avoid doing that, so modify it
accordingly and move the definition of per-CPU data used by the
ondemand and conservative governors to the common code. Next,
change that code to access the per-CPU data structures directly
rather than via a governor callback.
This causes the ->get_cpu_cdbs governor callback to become
unnecessary, so drop it along with the macro and function
definitions related to it.
Finally, drop the definitions of struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and
struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s that aren't necessary any more.

Some fields in struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s
are only used for a limited set of CPUs. Namely, if a policy is
shared between multiple CPUs, those fields will only be used for one
of them (policy->cpu). This means that they really are per-policy
rather than per-CPU and holding room for them in per-CPU data
structures is generally wasteful. Also moving those fields into
per-policy data structures will allow some significant simplifications
to be made going forward.
For this reason, introduce struct cs_policy_dbs_info and
struct od_policy_dbs_info to hold those fields. Define each of the
new structures as an extension of struct policy_dbs_info (such that
struct policy_dbs_info is embedded in each of them) and introduce
new ->alloc and ->free governor callbacks to allocate and free
those structures, respectively, such that ->alloc() will return
a pointer to the struct policy_dbs_info embedded in the allocated
data structure and ->free() will take that pointer as its argument.
With that, modify the code accessing the data fields in question
in per-CPU data objects to look for them in the new structures
via the struct policy_dbs_info pointer available to it and drop
them from struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s.

The ->store() callbacks of some tunable sysfs attributes of the
ondemand and conservative governors trigger immediate updates of
the CPU load information for all CPUs "governed" by the given
dbs_data by walking the cpu_dbs_info structures for all online
CPUs in the system and updating them.
This is questionable for two reasons. First, it may lead to a lot of
extra overhead on a system with many CPUs if the given dbs_data is
only associated with a few of them. Second, if governor tunables are
per-policy, the CPUs associated with the other sets of governor
tunables should not be updated.
To address this issue, use the observation that in all of the places
in question the update operation may be carried out in the same way
(because all of the tunables involved are now located in struct
dbs_data and readily available to the common code) and make the
code in those places invoke the same (new) helper function that
will carry out the update correctly.
That new function always checks the ignore_nice_load tunable value
and updates the CPUs' prev_cpu_nice data fields if that's set, which
wasn't done by the original code in store_io_is_busy(), but it
should have been done in there too.

The way the ->gov_check_cpu governor callback is used by the ondemand
and conservative governors is not really straightforward. Namely, the
governor calls dbs_check_cpu() that updates the load information for
the policy and the invokes ->gov_check_cpu() for the governor.
To get rid of that entanglement, notice that cpufreq_governor_limits()
doesn't need to call dbs_check_cpu() directly. Instead, it can simply
reset the sample delay to 0 which will cause a sample to be taken
immediately. The result of that is practically equivalent to calling
dbs_check_cpu() except that it will trigger a full update of governor
internal state and not just the ->gov_check_cpu() part.
Following that observation, make cpufreq_governor_limits() reset
the sample delay and turn dbs_check_cpu() into a function that will
simply evaluate the load and return the result called dbs_update().
That function can now be called by governors from the routines that
previously were pointed to by ->gov_check_cpu and those routines
can be called directly by each governor instead of dbs_check_cpu().
This way ->gov_check_cpu becomes unnecessary, so drop it.

The ondemand governor already updates sample_delay_ns immediately on
updates to the sampling rate, but conservative doesn't do that.
It was left out earlier as the code was really too complex to get
that done easily. Things are sorted out very well now, however, and
the conservative governor can be modified to follow ondemand in that
respect.
Moreover, since the code needed to implement that in the
conservative governor would be identical to the corresponding
ondemand governor's code, make that code common and change both
governors to use it.

The ondemand and conservative governors use the global-attr or freq-attr
structures to represent sysfs attributes corresponding to their tunables
(which of them is actually used depends on whether or not different
policy objects can use the same governor with different tunables at the
same time and, consequently, on where those attributes are located in
sysfs).
Unfortunately, in the freq-attr case, the standard cpufreq show/store
sysfs attribute callbacks are applied to the governor tunable attributes
and they always acquire the policy->rwsem lock before carrying out the
operation. That may lead to an ABBA deadlock if governor tunable
attributes are removed under policy->rwsem while one of them is being
accessed concurrently (if sysfs attributes removal wins the race, it
will wait for the access to complete with policy->rwsem held while the
attribute callback will block on policy->rwsem indefinitely).
We attempted to address this issue by dropping policy->rwsem around
governor tunable attributes removal (that is, around invocations of the
->governor callback with the event arg equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT)
in cpufreq_set_policy(), but that opened up race conditions that had not
been possible with policy->rwsem held all the time. Therefore
policy->rwsem cannot be dropped in cpufreq_set_policy() at any point,
but the deadlock situation described above must be avoided too.
To that end, use the observation that in principle governor tunables may
be represented by the same data type regardless of whether the governor
is system-wide or per-policy and introduce a new structure, struct
governor_attr, for representing them and new corresponding macros for
creating show/store sysfs callbacks for them. Also make their parent
kobject use a new kobject type whose default show/store callbacks are
not related to the standard core cpufreq ones in any way (and they don't
acquire policy->rwsem in particular).

For the ondemand and conservative governors (generally, governors
that use the common code in cpufreq_governor.c), there are two static
data structures representing the governor, the struct governor
structure (the interface to the cpufreq core) and the struct
common_dbs_data one (the interface to the cpufreq_governor.c code).
There's no fundamental reason why those two structures have to be
separate. Moreover, if the struct governor one is included into
struct common_dbs_data, it will be possible to reach the latter from
the policy via its policy->governor pointer, so it won't be necessary
to pass a separate pointer to it around. For this reason, embed

Every governor relying on the common code in cpufreq_governor.c

for this purpose, they may be using the same global mutex just
fine. Accordingly, introduce a single common mutex for that and
drop the mutex field from struct common_dbs_data.
That at least will ensure that the mutex is always present and
initialized regardless of what the particular governors do.
Another benefit is that the common code does not need a pointer to
a governor-related structure to get to the mutex which sometimes
helps.

There are several races reported in cpufreq core around governors (only
ondemand and conservative) by different people.
There are at least two race scenarios present in governor code:
(a) Concurrent access/updates of governor internal structures.
It is possible that fields such as 'dbs_data->usage_count', etc. are
accessed simultaneously for different policies using same governor
structure (i.e. CPUFREQ_HAVE_GOVERNOR_PER_POLICY flag unset). And
because of this we can dereference bad pointers.
For example consider a system with two CPUs with separate 'struct
cpufreq_policy' instances. CPU0 governor: ondemand and CPU1: powersave.
CPU0 switching to powersave and CPU1 to ondemand:
CPU0 CPU1
store* store*
cpufreq_governor_exit() cpufreq_governor_init()
dbs_data = cdata->gdbs_data;
if (!--dbs_data->usage_count)
kfree(dbs_data);
dbs_data->usage_count++;
*Bad pointer dereference*
There are other races possible between EXIT and START/STOP/LIMIT as
well. Its really complicated.
(b) Switching governor state in bad sequence:
For example trying to switch a governor to START state, when the
governor is in EXIT state. There are some checks present in
__cpufreq_governor() but they aren't sufficient as they compare events
against 'policy->governor_enabled', where as we need to take governor's
state into account, which can be used by multiple policies.
These two issues need to be solved separately and the responsibility
should be properly divided between cpufreq and governor core.
The first problem is more about the governor core, as it needs to
protect its structures properly. And the second problem should be fixed
in cpufreq core instead of governor, as its all about sequence of
events.
This patch is trying to solve only the first problem.
There are two types of data we need to protect,
- 'struct common_dbs_data': No matter what, there is going to be a
single copy of this per governor.
- 'struct dbs_data': With CPUFREQ_HAVE_GOVERNOR_PER_POLICY flag set, we
will have per-policy copy of this data, otherwise a single copy.
Because of such complexities, the mutex present in 'struct dbs_data' is
insufficient to solve our problem. For example we need to protect
fetching of 'dbs_data' from different structures at the beginning of
cpufreq_governor_dbs(), to make sure it isn't currently being updated.
This can be fixed if we can guarantee serialization of event parsing
code for an individual governor. This is best solved with a mutex per
governor, and the placeholder for that is 'struct common_dbs_data'.
And so this patch moves the mutex from 'struct dbs_data' to 'struct
common_dbs_data' and takes it at the beginning and drops it at the end
of cpufreq_governor_dbs().

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.

With the inclusion of following patches:
9f4eb10 cpufreq: conservative: call dbs_check_cpu only when necessary
772b4b1 cpufreq: ondemand: call dbs_check_cpu only when necessary
code redundancy between the conservative and ondemand governors is
introduced again, so get rid of it.

Fix governors code to set all cpu's cdbs->cpu to the the actual cpu id
and use cur_policy->cpu istead of cdbs->cpu to track current governor's
leader cpu.

Implement a generic helper function policy_is_shared() to replace the
current dbs_sw_coordinated_cpus() at cpufreq level, so that it can be
used by code other than cpufreq governors.
