Rickard Andersson 2abfa876f1 cpufreq: handle SW coordinated CPUs
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.

Viresh Kumar 4471a34f9a cpufreq: governors: remove redundant code
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.

viresh kumar 2aacdfff9c cpufreq: Move common part from governors to separate file, v2
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.

Michal Hocko 6beea0cda8 nohz: Fix update_ts_time_stat idle accounting
update_ts_time_stat currently updates idle time even if we are in
iowait loop at the moment. The only real users of the idle counter
(via get_cpu_idle_time_us) are CPU governors and they expect to get
cumulative time for both idle and iowait times.
The value (idle_sleeptime) is also printed to userspace by print_cpu
but it prints both idle and iowait times so the idle part is misleading.

Let's clean this up and fix update_ts_time_stat to account both counters
properly and update consumers of idle to consider iowait time as well.
If we do this we might use get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us from other
contexts as well and we will get expected values.

That added a possibility of dbs_cpufreq_notifier getting called for a

as the transition notifier is set as soon as one CPU switches to
conservative governor and other CPUs can get a NULL pointer dereference
without the enable bit check. Add the enable bit back again.

Thomas Renninger cef9615a85 [CPUFREQ] ondemand: Uncouple minimal sampling rate from HZ in NO_HZ case
With this patch you have following minimal sampling rate restrictions:

Kernel restrictions:
If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, the limit is 10ms fixed.
If CONFIG_NO_HZ is not set or no_hz=off boot parameter is used, the
limits depend on the CONFIG_HZ option:
HZ=1000: min=20000us  (20ms)
HZ=250:  min=80000us  (80ms)
HZ=100:  min=200000us (200ms)

HW restrictions:
Do not sample/poll more often than HW latency * 100  exported by the low
level cpufreq HW driver

The higher value of above restrictions is the minimal sampling rate
that can be set (and can be seen via ondemand/sampling_rate_min sysfs file)

Default sampling rate still is HW latency * 1000, but this will now end
up in lower values on latest (Intel and AMD) hardware as these can switch
really fast and sampling rate mostly was limited to the 80ms or 200ms
(depending on whether HZ=250 or HZ=1000 is used).

cpufreq fix timer teardown in conservative governor

The problem is that dbs_timer_exit() uses cancel_delayed_work() when it should
use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). cancel_delayed_work() does not wait for the
workqueue handler to exit.

The ondemand governor does not seem to be affected because the
"if (!dbs_info->enable)" check at the beginning of the workqueue handler returns
immediately without rescheduling the work. The conservative governor in
2.6.30-rc has the same check as the ondemand governor, which makes things
usually run smoothly. However, if the governor is quickly stopped and then
started, this could lead to the following race :

dbs_enable could be reenabled and multiple do_dbs_timer handlers would run.
This is why a synchronized teardown is required.

Depends on patch
cpufreq: remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call

The following patch applies to 2.6.30-rc2. Stable kernels have a similar
issue which should also be fixed, but the code changed between 2.6.29
and 2.6.30, so this patch only applies to 2.6.30-rc.

Alexander Clouter f407a08bb7 [CPUFREQ] conservative: fix dbs_cpufreq_notifier so freq is not locked
When someone added the dbs_cpufreq_notifier section to the governor the
code ended up causing the frequency to only fall.  This is because
requested_freq is tinkered with and that should only modified if it has
an invlaid value due to changes in the available frequency ranges

This should fix #10055.

Impact: use new cpumask API to reduce memory usage

This is part of an effort to reduce structure sizes for machines
configured with large NR_CPUS.  cpumask_t gets replaced by
cpumask_var_t, which is either struct cpumask[1] (small NR_CPUS) or
struct cpumask * (large NR_CPUS).

Sven Wegener c4d14bc0bb [CPUFREQ] Don't export governors for default governor
We don't need to export the governors for use as the default governor,
because the default governor will be built-in anyway and we can access
the symbol directly.

This also fixes the following sparse warnings:

Johannes Weiner 6915719b36 cpufreq: Initialise default governor before use
When the cpufreq driver starts up at boot time, it calls into the default
governor which might not be initialised yet.  This hurts when the
governor's worker function relies on memory that is not yet set up by its
init function.

This migrates all governors from module_init() to fs_initcall() when being
the default, as was already done in cpufreq_performance when it was the
only possible choice.  The performance governor is always initialized early
because it might be used as fallback even when not being the default.

Fixes at least one actual oops where ondemand is the default governor and
cpufreq_governor_dbs() uses the uninitialised kondemand_wq work-queue
during boot-time.

Make cpufreq_conservative handle out-of-sync events properly

Currently, the cpufreq_conservative governor doesn't get notified when the
actual frequency the cpu is running at differs from what cpufreq thought it
was. As a result the cpu may stay at the maximum frequency after a s2ram /
resume cycle even though the system is idle.

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.
