Viresh Kumar c75de0ac07 cpufreq: Schedule work for the first-online CPU on resume
All CPUs leaving the first-online CPU are hotplugged out on suspend and
and cpufreq core stops managing them.

On resume, we need to call cpufreq_update_policy() for this CPU's policy
to make sure its frequency is in sync with cpufreq's cached value, as it
might have got updated by hardware during suspend/resume.

The policies are always added to the top of the policy-list. So, in
normal circumstances, CPU 0's policy will be the last one in the list.
And so the code checks for the last policy.

But there are cases where it will fail. Consider quad-core system, with
policy-per core. If CPU0 is hotplugged out and added back again, the
last policy will be on CPU1 :(

To fix this in a proper way, always look for the policy of the first
online CPU. That way we will be sure that we are calling
cpufreq_update_policy() for the only CPU that wasn't hotplugged out.

Viresh Kumar 6ffae8c06f cpufreq: Set cpufreq_cpu_data to NULL before putting kobject
In __cpufreq_remove_dev_finish(), per-cpu 'cpufreq_cpu_data' needs
to be cleared before calling kobject_put(&policy->kobj) and under
cpufreq_driver_lock. Otherwise, if someone else calls cpufreq_cpu_get()
in parallel with it, they can obtain a non-NULL policy from that after
kobject_put(&policy->kobj) was executed.

Consider this case:

Thread A				Thread B
cpufreq_cpu_get()
  acquire cpufreq_driver_lock
  read-per-cpu cpufreq_cpu_data
					kobject_put(&policy->kobj);
  kobject_get(&policy->kobj);
					...
					per_cpu(&cpufreq_cpu_data, cpu) = NULL

And this will result in a warning like this one:

The actual code flow is as follows:

 Thread A: Workqueue: kacpi_notify

 acpi_processor_notify()
   acpi_processor_ppc_has_changed()
         cpufreq_update_policy()
           cpufreq_cpu_get()
             kobject_get()

 Thread B: xenbus_thread()

 xenbus_thread()
   msg->u.watch.handle->callback()
     handle_vcpu_hotplug_event()
       vcpu_hotplug()
         cpu_down()
           __cpu_notify(CPU_POST_DEAD..)
             cpufreq_cpu_callback()
               __cpufreq_remove_dev_finish()
                 cpufreq_policy_put_kobj()
                   kobject_put()

cpufreq_cpu_get() gets the policy from per-cpu variable cpufreq_cpu_data
under cpufreq_driver_lock, and once it gets a valid policy it expects it
to not be freed until cpufreq_cpu_put() is called.

But the race happens when another thread puts the kobject first and updates
cpufreq_cpu_data before or later. And so the first thread gets a valid policy
structure and before it does kobject_get() on it, the second one has already
done kobject_put().

Fix this by setting cpufreq_cpu_data to NULL before putting the kobject and that
too under locks.

CPUFREQ_UPDATE_POLICY_CPU notifications were used only from cpufreq-stats which
doesn't use it anymore. Remove them.

This also decrements values of other notification macros defined after
CPUFREQ_UPDATE_POLICY_CPU by 1 to remove gaps. Hopefully all users are using
macro's instead of direct numbers and so they wouldn't break as macro values are
changed now.

Viresh Kumar ce1bcfe94d cpufreq: check cpufreq_policy_list instead of scanning policies for all CPUs
CPUFREQ_STICKY flag is set by drivers which don't want to get unregistered
even if cpufreq-core isn't able to initialize policy for any CPU.

When this flag isn't set, we try to unregister the driver. To find out
which CPUs are registered and which are not, we try to check per_cpu
cpufreq_cpu_data for all CPUs. Because we have a list of valid policies
available now, we better check if the list is empty or not instead of
the 'for' loop. That will be much more efficient.

Doug Anderson 90de2a4aa9 cpufreq: suspend cpufreq governors on shutdown
We should stop cpufreq governors when we shut down the system.  If we
don't do this, we can end up with this deadlock:

1. cpufreq governor may be running on a CPU other than CPU0.
2. In machine_restart() we call smp_send_stop() which stops CPUs.
   If one of these CPUs was actively running a cpufreq governor
   then it may have the mutex / spinlock needed to access the main
   PMIC in the system (perhaps over I2C)
3. If a machine needs access to the main PMIC in order to shutdown
   then it will never get it since the mutex was lost when the other
   CPU stopped.
4. We'll hang (possibly eventually hitting the hard lockup detector).

Let's avoid the problem by stopping the cpufreq governor at shutdown,
which is a sensible thing to do anyway.

kernel thread context.

To fix this panic issue, add pointer checking code in __cpufreq_governor()
before pointer policy->governor is to be dereferenced.

Viresh Kumar 7c45cf31b3 cpufreq: Introduce ->ready() callback for cpufreq drivers
Currently there is no callback for cpufreq drivers which is called once the
policy is ready to be used. There are some requirements where such a callback is
required.

One of them is registering a cooling device with the help of
of_cpufreq_cooling_register(). This routine tries to get 'struct cpufreq_policy'
for CPUs which isn't yet initialed at the time ->init() is called and so we face
issues while registering the cooling device.

Because we can't register cooling device from ->init(), we need a callback that
is called after the policy is ready to be used and hence we introduce ->ready()
callback.

Vince Hsu 619c144c84 cpufreq: respect the min/max settings from user space
When the user space tries to set scaling_(max|min)_freq through
sysfs, the cpufreq_set_policy() asks other driver's opinions
for the max/min frequencies. Some device drivers, like Tegra
CPU EDP which is not upstreamed yet though, may constrain the
CPU maximum frequency dynamically because of board design.
So if the user space access happens and some driver is capping
the cpu frequency at the same time, the user_policy->(max|min)
is overridden by the capped value, and that's not expected by
the user space. And if the user space is not invoked again,
the CPU will always be capped by the user_policy->(max|min)
even no drivers limit the CPU frequency any more.

This patch preserves the user specified min/max settings, so that
every time the cpufreq policy is updated, the new max/min can
be re-evaluated correctly based on the user's expection and
the present device drivers' status.

Thomas Petazzoni 51315cdfa0 cpufreq: allow driver-specific data
This commit extends the cpufreq_driver structure with an additional
'void *driver_data' field that can be filled by the ->probe() function
of a cpufreq driver to pass additional custom information to the
driver itself.

A new function called cpufreq_get_driver_data() is added to allow a
cpufreq driver to retrieve those driver data, since they are typically
needed from a cpufreq_policy->init() callback, which does not have
access to the cpufreq_driver structure. This function call is similar
to the existing cpufreq_get_current_driver() function call.

Rasmus Villemoes 7c4f453970 cpufreq: Replace strnicmp with strncasecmp
The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited,
case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics
and a slightly buggy strncasecmp. The latter is the POSIX name, so
strnicmp was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper
for the new strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users.

To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in
the future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do
s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

Preeti U Murthy 789ca24374 cpufreq: Allow stop CPU callback to be used by all cpufreq drivers
Commit 367dc4aa93 ("cpufreq: Add stop CPU callback to
cpufreq_driver interface") introduced the stop CPU callback for
intel_pstate drivers. During the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE stage, this
callback is invoked so that drivers can take some action on the
pstate of the cpu before it is taken offline. This callback was
assumed to be useful only for those drivers which have implemented
the set_policy CPU callback because they have no other way to take
action about the cpufreq of a CPU which is being hotplugged out
except in the exit callback which is called very late in the offline
process.

The drivers which implement the target/target_index callbacks were
expected to take care of requirements like the ones that commit
367dc4aa addresses in the GOV_STOP notification event. But there
are disadvantages to restricting the usage of stop CPU callback
to cpufreq drivers that implement the set_policy callbacks and who
want to take explicit action on the setting the cpufreq during a
hotplug operation.

1.GOV_STOP gets called for every CPU offline and drivers would usually
want to take action when the last cpu in the policy->cpus mask
is taken offline. As long as there is more than one cpu in the
policy->cpus mask, cpufreq core itself makes sure that the freq
for the other cpus in this mask is set according to the maximum load.
This is sensible and drivers which implement the target_index callback
would mostly not want to modify that. However the cpufreq core leaves a
loose end when the cpu in the policy->cpus mask is the last one to go offline;
it does nothing explicit to the frequency of the core. Drivers may need
a way to take some action here and stop CPU callback mechanism is the
best way to do it today.

2. We cannot implement driver specific actions in the GOV_STOP mechanism.
So we will need another driver callback which is invoked from here which is
unnecessary.

Therefore this patch extends the usage of stop CPU callback to be used
by all cpufreq drivers as long as they have this callback implemented
and irrespective of whether they are set_policy/target_index drivers.
The assumption is if the drivers find the GOV_STOP path to be a suitable
way of implementing what they want to do with the freq of the cpu
going offine,they will not implement the stop CPU callback at all.

If cpufreq_driver->get(policy->cpu) returns an error we execute the

Trivial patch to up the policy->rwsem in the error path.

Viresh Kumar 92c14bd947 cpufreq: move policy kobj to policy->cpu at resume
This is only relevant to implementations with multiple clusters, where clusters
have separate clock lines but all CPUs within a cluster share it.

Consider a dual cluster platform with 2 cores per cluster. During suspend we
start hot unplugging CPUs in order 1 to 3. When CPU2 is removed, policy->kobj
would be moved to CPU3 and when CPU3 goes down we wouldn't free policy or its
kobj as we want to retain permissions/values/etc.

Now on resume, we will get CPU2 before CPU3 and will call __cpufreq_add_dev().
We will recover the old policy and update policy->cpu from 3 to 2 from
update_policy_cpu().

But the kobj is still tied to CPU3 and isn't moved to CPU2. We wouldn't create a
link for CPU2, but would try that for CPU3 while bringing it online. Which will
report errors as CPU3 already has kobj assigned to it.

This bug got introduced with commit 42f921a, which overlooked this scenario.

To fix this, lets move kobj to the new policy->cpu while bringing first CPU of a
cluster back. Also do a WARN_ON() if kobject_move failed, as we would reach here
only for the first CPU of a non-boot cluster. And we can't recover from this
situation, if kobject_move() fails.

Viresh Kumar 1c03a2d04d cpufreq: add support for intermediate (stable) frequencies
Douglas Anderson, recently pointed out an interesting problem due to which
udelay() was expiring earlier than it should.

While transitioning between frequencies few platforms may temporarily switch to
a stable frequency, waiting for the main PLL to stabilize.

For example: When we transition between very low frequencies on exynos, like
between 200MHz and 300MHz, we may temporarily switch to a PLL running at 800MHz.
No CPUFREQ notification is sent for that. That means there's a period of time
when we're running at 800MHz but loops_per_jiffy is calibrated at between 200MHz
and 300MHz. And so udelay behaves badly.

To get this fixed in a generic way, introduce another set of callbacks
get_intermediate() and target_intermediate(), only for drivers with
target_index() and CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION unset.

get_intermediate() should return a stable intermediate frequency platform wants
to switch to, and target_intermediate() should set CPU to that frequency,
before jumping to the frequency corresponding to 'index'. Core will take care of
sending notifications and driver doesn't have to handle them in
target_intermediate() or target_index().

NOTE: ->target_index() should restore to policy->restore_freq in case of
failures as core would send notifications for that.

Srivatsa S. Bhat ca654dc3a9 cpufreq: Catch double invocations of cpufreq_freq_transition_begin/end
Some cpufreq drivers were redundantly invoking the _begin() and _end()
APIs around frequency transitions, and this double invocation (one from
the cpufreq core and the other from the cpufreq driver) used to result
in a self-deadlock, leading to system hangs during boot. (The _begin()
API makes contending callers wait until the previous invocation is
complete. Hence, the cpufreq driver would end up waiting on itself!).

Now all such drivers have been fixed, but debugging this issue was not
very straight-forward (even lockdep didn't catch this). So let us add a
debug infrastructure to the cpufreq core to catch such issues more easily
in the future.

We add a new field called 'transition_task' to the policy structure, to keep
track of the task which is performing the frequency transition. Using this
field, we make note of this task during _begin() and print a warning if we
find a case where the same task is calling _begin() again, before completing
the previous frequency transition using the corresponding _end().

We have left out ASYNC_NOTIFICATION drivers from this debug infrastructure
for 2 reasons:

1. At the moment, we have no way to avoid a particular scenario where this
   debug infrastructure can emit false-positive warnings for such drivers.
   The scenario is depicted below:

         Task A						Task B

    /* 1st freq transition */
    Invoke _begin() {
            ...
            ...
    }

    Change the frequency

    /* 2nd freq transition */
    Invoke _begin() {
	    ...	//waiting for B to
            ... //finish _end() for
	    ... //the 1st transition
	    ...	      |				Got interrupt for successful
	    ...	      |				change of frequency (1st one).
	    ...       |
	    ...	      |				/* 1st freq transition */
	    ...	      |				Invoke _end() {
	    ...	      |					...
	    ...	      V				}
	    ...
	    ...
    }

   This scenario is actually deadlock-free because, once Task A changes the
   frequency, it is Task B's responsibility to invoke the corresponding
   _end() for the 1st frequency transition. Hence it is perfectly legal for
   Task A to go ahead and attempt another frequency transition in the meantime.
   (Of course it won't be able to proceed until Task B finishes the 1st _end(),
   but this doesn't cause a deadlock or a hang).

   The debug infrastructure cannot handle this scenario and will treat it as
   a deadlock and print a warning. To avoid this, we exclude such drivers
   from the purview of this code.

2. Luckily, we don't _need_ this infrastructure for ASYNC_NOTIFICATION drivers
   at all! The cpufreq core does not automatically invoke the _begin() and
   _end() APIs during frequency transitions in such drivers. Thus, the driver
   alone is responsible for invoking _begin()/_end() and hence there shouldn't
   be any conflicts which lead to double invocations. So, we can skip these
   drivers, since the probability that such drivers will hit this problem is
   extremely low, as outlined above.

Stratos Karafotis 27e289dce2 cpufreq: Introduce macros for cpufreq_frequency_table iteration
Many cpufreq drivers need to iterate over the cpufreq_frequency_table
for various tasks.

This patch introduces two macros which can be used for iteration over
cpufreq_frequency_table keeping a common coding style across drivers:

- cpufreq_for_each_entry: iterate over each entry of the table
- cpufreq_for_each_valid_entry: iterate over each entry that contains
a valid frequency.

It should have no functional changes.

cpufreq_notify_transition() and cpufreq_notify_post_transition() shouldn't be

Viresh Kumar 8fec051eea cpufreq: Convert existing drivers to use cpufreq_freq_transition_{begin|end}
CPUFreq core has new infrastructure that would guarantee serialized calls to
target() or target_index() callbacks. These are called
cpufreq_freq_transition_begin() and cpufreq_freq_transition_end().

This patch converts existing drivers to use these new set of routines.

Srivatsa S. Bhat 12478cf0c5 cpufreq: Make sure frequency transitions are serialized
Whenever we change the frequency of a CPU, we call the PRECHANGE and POSTCHANGE
notifiers. They must be serialized, i.e. PRECHANGE and POSTCHANGE notifiers
should strictly alternate, thereby preventing two different sets of PRECHANGE or
POSTCHANGE notifiers from interleaving arbitrarily.

The following examples illustrate why this is important:

Scenario 1:
-----------
A thread reading the value of cpuinfo_cur_freq, will call
__cpufreq_cpu_get()->cpufreq_out_of_sync()->cpufreq_notify_transition()

The ondemand governor can decide to change the frequency of the CPU at the same
time and hence it can end up sending the notifications via ->target().

If the notifiers are not serialized, the following sequence can occur:
- PRECHANGE Notification for freq A (from cpuinfo_cur_freq)
- PRECHANGE Notification for freq B (from target())
- Freq changed by target() to B
- POSTCHANGE Notification for freq B
- POSTCHANGE Notification for freq A

We can see from the above that the last POSTCHANGE Notification happens for freq
A but the hardware is set to run at freq B.

Where would we break then?: adjust_jiffies() in cpufreq.c & cpufreq_callback()
in arch/arm/kernel/smp.c (which also adjusts the jiffies). All the
loops_per_jiffy calculations will get messed up.

Scenario 2:
-----------
The governor calls __cpufreq_driver_target() to change the frequency. At the
same time, if we change scaling_{min|max}_freq from sysfs, it will end up
calling the governor's CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS notification, which will also call
__cpufreq_driver_target(). And hence we end up issuing concurrent calls to
->target().

Typically, platforms have the following logic in their ->target() routines:
(Eg: cpufreq-cpu0, omap, exynos, etc)

A. If new freq is more than old: Increase voltage
B. Change freq
C. If new freq is less than old: decrease voltage

Now, if the two concurrent calls to ->target() are X and Y, where X is trying to
increase the freq and Y is trying to decrease it, we get the following race
condition:

X.A: voltage gets increased for larger freq
Y.A: nothing happens
Y.B: freq gets decreased
Y.C: voltage gets decreased
X.B: freq gets increased
X.C: nothing happens

Thus we can end up setting a freq which is not supported by the voltage we have
set. That will probably make the clock to the CPU unstable and the system might
not work properly anymore.

This patch introduces a set of synchronization primitives to serialize frequency
transitions, which are to be used as shown below:

cpufreq_freq_transition_begin();

//Perform the frequency change

cpufreq_freq_transition_end();

The _begin() call sends the PRECHANGE notification whereas the _end() call sends
the POSTCHANGE notification. Also, all the necessary synchronization is handled
within these calls. In particular, even drivers which set the ASYNC_NOTIFICATION
flag can also use these APIs for performing frequency transitions (ie., you can
call _begin() from one task, and call the corresponding _end() from a different
task).

The actual synchronization underneath is not that complicated:

The key challenge is to allow drivers to begin the transition from one thread
and end it in a completely different thread (this is to enable drivers that do
asynchronous POSTCHANGE notification from bottom-halves, to also use the same
interface).

To achieve this, a 'transition_ongoing' flag, a 'transition_lock' spinlock and a
wait-queue are added per-policy. The flag and the wait-queue are used in
conjunction to create an "uninterrupted flow" from _begin() to _end(). The
spinlock is used to ensure that only one such "flow" is in flight at any given
time. Put together, this provides us all the necessary synchronization.
