Frederik Schwarzer 0211a9c850 trivial: fix an -> a typos in documentation and comments
It is always "an" if there is a vowel _spoken_ (not written).
So it is:
"an hour" (spoken vowel)
but
"a uniform" (spoken 'j')

Rusty Russell 835481d9bc cpumask: convert struct cpufreq_policy to cpumask_var_t
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).

Mike Chan 187d9f4ed4 [CPUFREQ] Fix on resume, now preserves user policy min/max.
Previously driver resume would always set the current policy min/max with
the cpuinfo min/max, defined by user_policy.min/max. Resulting in a reset
of policy settings when policy.min/max != cpuinfo.min/max when coming out
of suspend. Now user_policy is saved as the policy instead of cpuinfo to
preserve what the user actually set.

Matthew Garrett e088e4c9cd [CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod.
p4-clockmod has a long history of abuse.   It pretends to be a CPU
frequency scaling driver, even though it doesn't actually change
the CPU frequency, but instead just modulates the frequency with
wait-states.
The biggest misconception is that when running at the lower 'frequency'
p4-clockmod is saving power.  This isn't the case, as workloads running
slower take longer to complete, preventing the CPU from entering deep C states.

However p4-clockmod does have a purpose.  It can prevent overheating.
Having it hooked up to the cpufreq interfaces is the wrong way to achieve
cooling however. It should instead be hooked up to ACPI.

This diff introduces a means for a cpufreq driver to register with the
cpufreq core, but not present a sysfs interface.

Use get_cpu_idle_time_us() to get micro-accounted idle information.
This enables ondemand to get more accurate idle and busy timings
than the jiffy based calculation. As a result, we can decrease
the ondemand safety gaurd band from 80-10 to 95-3.

Results in more aggressive power savings.

Darrick J. Wong e8628dd06d [CPUFREQ] expose cpufreq coordination requirements regardless of coordination mechanism
Currently, affected_cpus shows which CPUs need to have their frequency
coordinated in software.  When hardware coordination is in use, the contents
of this file appear the same as when no coordination is required.  This can
lead to some confusion among user-space programs, for example, that do not
know that extra coordination is required to force a CPU core to a particular
speed to control power consumption.

To fix this, create a "related_cpus" attribute that always displays the
coordination map regardless of whatever coordination strategy the cpufreq
driver uses (sw or hw).  If the cpufreq driver does not provide a value, fall
back to policy->cpus.

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:

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.

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.

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.

Tejun Heo 7b595756ec sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

Venki Pallipadi ea48761519 [CPUFREQ] ondemand: fix tickless accounting and software coordination bug
With tickless kernel and software coordination os P-states, ondemand
can look at wrong idle statistics. This can happen when ondemand sampling
is happening on CPU 0 and due to software coordination sampling also looks at
utilization of CPU 1. If CPU 1 is in tickless state at that moment, its idle
statistics will not be uptodate and CPU 0 thinks CPU 1 is idle for less
amount of time than it actually is.

This can be resolved by looking at all the busy times of CPUs, which is
accurate, even with tickless, and use that to determine idle time in a
round about way (total time - busy time).

Thanks to Arjan for originally reporting the ondemand bug on
Lenovo T61.

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

Tim Schmielau cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

* 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

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).

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.

Alexey Starikovskiy 05ca0350e8 [CPUFREQ][2/2] ondemand: updated add powersave_bias tunable
ondemand selects the minimum frequency that can retire
a workload with negligible idle time -- ideally resulting in the highest
performance/power efficiency with negligible performance impact.

But on some systems and some workloads, this algorithm
is more performance biased than necessary, and
de-tuning it a bit to allow some performance impact
can save measurable power.

This patch adds a "powersave_bias" tunable to ondemand
to allow it to reduce its target frequency by a specified percent.

By default, the powersave_bias is 0 and has no effect.
powersave_bias is in units of 0.1%, so it has an effective range
of 1 through 1000, resulting in 0.1% to 100% impact.

In practice, users will not be able to detect a difference between
0.1% increments, but 1.0% increments turned out to be too large.
Also, the max value of 1000 (100%) would simply peg the system
in its deepest power saving P-state, unless the processor really has
a hardware P-state at 0Hz:-)

For example, If ondemand requests 2.0GHz based on utilization,
and powersave_bias=100, this code will knock 10% off the target
and seek  a target of 1.8GHz instead of 2.0GHz until the
next sampling.  If 1.8 is an exact match with an hardware frequency
we use it, otherwise we average our time between the frequency
next higher than 1.8 and next lower than 1.8.

Note that a user or administrative program can change powersave_bias
at run-time depending on how they expect the system to be used.

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)

Venkatesh Pallipadi 4ec223d02f [CPUFREQ] Fix ondemand vs suspend deadlock
Rootcaused the bug to a deadlock in cpufreq and ondemand. Due to non-existent
ordering between cpu_hotplug lock and dbs_mutex. Basically a race condition
between cpu_down() and do_dbs_timer().

cpu_down() flow:
* cpu_down() call for CPU 1
* Takes hot plug lock
* Calls pre down notifier
*     cpufreq notifier handler calls cpufreq_driver_target() which takes
      cpu_hotplug lock again. OK as cpu_hotplug lock is recursive in same
      process context
* CPU 1 goes down
* Calls post down notifier
*     cpufreq notifier handler calls ondemand event stop which takes dbs_mutex

So, cpu_hotplug lock is taken before dbs_mutex in this flow.

do_dbs_timer is triggerred by a periodic timer event.
It first takes dbs_mutex and then takes cpu_hotplug lock in
cpufreq_driver_target().
Note the reverse order here compared to above. So, if this timer event happens
at right moment during cpu_down, system will deadlok.

Attached patch fixes the issue for both ondemand and conservative.

Thomas Renninger 7970e08bf0 [CPUFREQ] If max_freq got reduced (e.g. by _PPC) a write to sysfs scaling_governor let cpufreq core stuck at low max_freq for ever
The previous patch had bugs (locking and refcount).

This one could also be related to the latest DELL reports.
But they only slip into this if a user prog (e.g. powersave daemon does when
AC got (un) plugged due to a scheme change) echos something to
/sys/../cpufreq/scaling_governor
while the frequencies got limited by BIOS.

This one works:

Subject: Max freq stucks at low freq if reduced by _PPC and sysfs gov access

The problem is reproducable by(if machine is limiting freqs via BIOS):
 - Unplugging AC -> max freq gets limited
 - echo ${governor} >/sys/.../cpufreq/scaling_governor (policy->user_data.max
   gets overridden with policy->max and will never come up again.)

This patch exchanged the cpufreq_set_policy call to __cpufreq_set_policy and
duplicated it's functionality but did not override user_data.max.
The same happens with overridding min/max values. If freqs are limited and
you override the min freq value, the max freq global value will also get
stuck to the limited freq, even if BIOS allows all freqs again.
Last scenario does only happen if BIOS does not reduce the frequency
to the lowest value (should never happen, just for correctness...)

Alan Stern e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

Alexander Clouter a159b82770 [PATCH] cpufreq_conservative: alternative initialise approach
Venki, author of cpufreq_ondemand, came up with a neater way to remove the
initialiser code from the main loop of my code and out to the point when the
governor is actually initialised.

Not only does it look but it also feels cleaner, plus its simpler to
understand.  It also saves a bunch of pointless conditional statements in the
main loop.

Alexander Clouter 08a28e2e98 [PATCH] cpufreq_conservative: make for_each_cpu() safe
All these changes should make cpufreq_conservative safe in regards to the x86
for_each_cpu cpumask.h changes and whatnot.

Whilst making it safe a number of pointless for loops related to the cpu
mask's were removed.  I was never comfortable with all those for loops,
especially as the iteration is over the same data again and again for each
CPU you had in a single poll, an O(n^2) outcome to frequency scaling.

The approach I use is to assume by default no CPU's exist and it sets the
requested_freq to zero as a kind of flag, the reasoning is in the source ;)
If the CPU is queried and requested_freq is zero then it initialises the
variable to current_freq and then continues as if nothing happened which
should be the same net effect as before?

The sensible approach to making conservative less responsive than ondemand :)
As mentioned in patch [1/4].  We do not want conservative to shoot through
all the frequencies, its point (by default) is to slowly move through them.

By default its ten times less responsive.

Alexander Clouter 2c906b317b [PATCH] cpufreq_conservative: aligning of codebase with ondemand
Since the conservative govenor was released its codebase has drifted from the
the direction and updates that have been applied to the ondemand govornor.

This patch addresses the lack of updates in that period and brings
conservative back up to date.  The resulting diff file between
cpufreq_ondemand.c and cpufreq_conservative.c is now much smaller and shows
more clearly the differences between the two.

Another reason to do this is ages ago, knowingly, I did a piss poor attempt
at making conservative less responsive by knocking up
DEF_SAMPLING_RATE_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER by two orders of magnitude.  I did fix
this ages ago but in my dis-organisation I must have toasted the diff and
left it the way it was.  About two weeks ago a user contacted me saying he
was having problems with the conservative governor with his AMD Athlon XP-M
2800+ as /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative showed
  sampling_rate_min   9950000
  sampling_rate_max   1360065408

Nine seconds to decide about changing the frequency....not too responsive :)

Sam Ravnborg bb1a813d3c [PATCH] cpufreq: fix section mismatch warnings
cpufreq are the only remaining bit to be solved for me to have a modpost
clean build for sparc64 - so I took one more look at it.
changelog entry:

Fix section mismatch warnings in cpufreq:
WARNING: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier' (at offset 0xa8) and 'notifier_policy_block'
WARNING: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .exit.text after 'cleanup_module' (at offset 0x30)

The culprint is the function: cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback
It is marked __cpuinit which get's redefined to __init in case
HOTPLUG_CPU is not enabled as per. init.h:

#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
#define __cpuinit
#else
#define __cpuinit       __init
#endif

$> grep HOTPLUG .config
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y

But cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback() is used in:
__exit cpufreq_stats_exit()
static struct notifier_block cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier

cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier is again used in:
__init cpufreq_stats_init()
__exit cpufreq_stats_exit()

So in both cases used from both __init and __exit context.
Only solution seems to drop __cpuinit tag.
