After commit da60ce9f2f (cpufreq: call cpufreq_driver->get() after
calling ->init()) __cpufreq_add_dev() sometimes fails for CPUs handled
by intel_pstate, because that driver may return 0 from its ->get()
callback if it has not run long enough to collect enough samples on the
given CPU. That didn't happen before commit da60ce9f2f which added
policy->cur initialization to __cpufreq_add_dev() to help reduce code
duplication in other cpufreq drivers.
However, the code added by commit da60ce9f2f need not be executed
for cpufreq drivers having the ->setpolicy callback defined, because
the subsequent invocation of cpufreq_set_policy() will use that
callback to initialize the policy anyway and it doesn't need
policy->cur to be initialized upfront. The analogous code in
cpufreq_update_policy() is also unnecessary for cpufreq drivers
having ->setpolicy set and may be skipped for them as well.
Since intel_pstate provides ->setpolicy, skipping the upfront
policy->cur initialization for cpufreq drivers with that callback
set will cover intel_pstate and the problem it's been having after
commit da60ce9f2f will be addressed.

policy->rwsem is used to lock access to all parts of code modifying
struct cpufreq_policy, but it's not used on a new policy created by
__cpufreq_add_dev().
Because of that, if cpufreq_update_policy() is called in a tight loop
on one CPU in parallel with offline/online of another CPU, then the

Policy must be fully initialized before it is being made available
for use by others. Otherwise cpufreq_cpu_get() would be able to grab
a half initialized policy structure that might not have affected_cpus
(for example) populated. Then, anybody accessing those fields will get
a wrong value and that will lead to unpredictable results.
In order to fix this, do all the necessary initialization before we
make the policy structure available via cpufreq_cpu_get(). That will
guarantee that any code accessing fields of the policy will get
correct data from them.

If a module calls cpufreq_get while cpufreq is initializing, it's
possible for it to be called after cpufreq_driver is set but before
cpufreq_cpu_data is written during subsys_interface_register. This
happens because cpufreq_get doesn't take the cpufreq_driver_lock
around its use of cpufreq_cpu_data.
Fix this by using cpufreq_cpu_get(cpu) to look up the policy rather
than reading it out of cpufreq_cpu_data directly. cpufreq_cpu_get()
takes the appropriate locks to prevent this race from happening.
Since it's possible for policy to be NULL if the caller passes in an
invalid CPU number or calls the function before cpufreq is initialized,
delete the BUG_ON(!policy) and simply return 0. Don't try to return
-ENOENT because that's negative and the function returns an unsigned
integer.

This commit adds boost frequency support in cpufreq core (Hardware &
Software). Some SoCs (like Exynos4 - e.g. 4x12) allow setting frequency
above its normal operation limits. Such mode shall be only used for a
short time.
Overclocking (boost) support is essentially provided by platform
dependent cpufreq driver.
This commit unifies support for SW and HW (Intel) overclocking solutions
in the core cpufreq driver. Previously the "boost" sysfs attribute was
defined in the ACPI processor driver code. By default boost is disabled.
One global attribute is available at: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost.
It only shows up when cpufreq driver supports overclocking.
Under the hood frequencies dedicated for boosting are marked with a
special flag (CPUFREQ_BOOST_FREQ) at driver's frequency table.
It is the user's concern to enable/disable overclocking with a proper call
to sysfs.
The cpufreq_boost_trigger_state() function is defined non static on purpose.
It is used later with thermal subsystem to provide automatic enable/disable
of the BOOST feature.

CPUFreq drivers that use clock frameworks interface,i.e. clk_get_rate(),
to get CPUs clk rate, have similar sort of code used in most of them.
This patch adds a generic ->get() which will do the same thing for them.
All those drivers are required to now is to set .get to cpufreq_generic_get()
and set their clk pointer in policy->clk during ->init().

There are several problems with cpufreq stats in the way it handles
cpufreq_unregister_driver() and suspend/resume..
- We must not lose data collected so far when suspend/resume happens
and so stats directories must not be removed/allocated during these
operations, which is done currently.
- cpufreq_stat has registered notifiers with both cpufreq and hotplug.
It adds sysfs stats directory with a cpufreq notifier: CPUFREQ_NOTIFY
and removes this directory with a notifier from hotplug core.
In case cpufreq_unregister_driver() is called (on rmmod cpufreq driver),
stats directories per cpu aren't removed as CPUs are still online. The
only call cpufreq_stats gets is cpufreq_stats_update_policy_cpu() for
all CPUs except the last of each policy. And pointer to stat information
is stored in the entry for last CPU in the per-cpu cpufreq_stats_table.
But policy structure would be freed inside cpufreq core and so that will
result in memory leak inside cpufreq stats (as we are never freeing
memory for stats).
Now if we again insert the module cpufreq_register_driver() will be
called and we will again allocate stats data and put it on for first
CPU of every policy. In case we only have a single CPU per policy, we
will return with a error from cpufreq_stats_create_table() due to this
code:
if (per_cpu(cpufreq_stats_table, cpu))
return -EBUSY;
And so probably cpufreq stats directory would not show up anymore (as
it was added inside last policies->kobj which doesn't exist anymore).
I haven't tested it, though. Also the values in stats files wouldn't
be refreshed as we are using the earlier stats structure.
- CPUFREQ_NOTIFY is called from cpufreq_set_policy() which is called for
scenarios where we don't really want cpufreq_stat_notifier_policy() to get
called. For example whenever we are changing anything related to a policy:
min/max/current freq, etc. cpufreq_set_policy() is called and so cpufreq
stats is notified. Where we don't do any useful stuff other than simply
returning with -EBUSY from cpufreq_stats_create_table(). And so this
isn't the right notifier that cpufreq stats..
Due to all above reasons this patch does following changes:
- Add new notifiers CPUFREQ_CREATE_POLICY and CPUFREQ_REMOVE_POLICY,
which are only called when policy is created/destroyed. They aren't
called for suspend/resume paths..
- Use these notifiers in cpufreq_stat_notifier_policy() to create/destory
stats sysfs entries. And so cpufreq_unregister_driver() or suspend/resume
shouldn't be a problem for cpufreq_stats.
- Return early from cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback() for suspend/resume sequence,
so that we don't free stats structure.

Sometimes boot loaders set CPU frequency to a value outside of frequency table
present with cpufreq core. In such cases CPU might be unstable if it has to run
on that frequency for long duration of time and so its better to set it to a
frequency which is specified in freq-table. This also makes cpufreq stats
inconsistent as cpufreq-stats would fail to register because current frequency
of CPU isn't found in freq-table.
Because we don't want this change to affect boot process badly, we go for the
next freq which is >= policy->cur ('cur' must be set by now, otherwise we will
end up setting freq to lowest of the table as 'cur' is initialized to zero).
In case current frequency doesn't match any frequency from freq-table, we throw
warnings to user, so that user can get this fixed in their bootloaders or
freq-tables.

In the current code, if we fail during a frequency transition, we
simply send the POSTCHANGE notification with the old frequency. This
isn't enough.
One of the core users of these notifications is the code responsible
for keeping loops_per_jiffy aligned with frequency changes. And mostly
it is written as:
if ((val == CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE && freq->old < freq->new) ||
(val == CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE && freq->old > freq->new)) {
update-loops-per-jiffy...
}
So, suppose we are changing to a higher frequency and failed during
transition, then following will happen:
- CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE notification with freq-new > freq-old
- CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notification with freq-new == freq-old
The first one will update loops_per_jiffy and second one will do
nothing. Even if we send the 2nd notification by exchanging values of
freq-new and old, some users of these notifications might get
unstable.
This can be fixed by simply calling cpufreq_notify_post_transition()
with error code and this routine will take care of sending
notifications in the correct order.

When a CPU is hot removed we'll cancel all the delayed work items via
gov_cancel_work(). Sometimes the delayed work function determines that
it should adjust the delay for all other CPUs that the policy is
managing. If this scenario occurs, the canceling CPU will cancel its own
work but queue up the other CPUs works to run.
Commit 3617f2 (cpufreq: Fix timer/workqueue corruption due to double
queueing) has tried to fix this, but reading governor_enabled is not
protected by cpufreq_governor_lock. Even though od_dbs_timer() checks
governor_enabled before gov_queue_work(), this scenario may occur. For
example:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
cpu_down()
... <work runs>
__cpufreq_remove_dev() od_dbs_timer()
__cpufreq_governor() policy->governor_enabled
policy->governor_enabled = false;
cpufreq_governor_dbs()
case CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP:
gov_cancel_work(dbs_data, policy);
cpu0 work is canceled
timer is canceled
cpu1 work is canceled
<waits for cpu1>
gov_queue_work(*, *, true);
cpu0 work queued
cpu1 work queued
cpu2 work queued
...
cpu1 work is canceled
cpu2 work is canceled
...
At the end of the GOV_STOP case cpu0 still has a work queued to
run although the code is expecting all of the works to be
canceled. __cpufreq_remove_dev() will then proceed to
re-initialize all the other CPUs works except for the CPU that is
going down. The CPUFREQ_GOV_START case in cpufreq_governor_dbs()
will trample over the queued work and debugobjects will spit out
a warning:

When configuring a default governor (via CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_*) with the
intel_pstate driver, the desired default policy is not properly set. For
example, setting 'CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE' ends up with the
'powersave' policy being set.
Fix by configuring the correct default policy, if either 'powersave' or
'performance' are requested. Otherwise, fallback to what the driver originally
set via its 'init' routine.

There are cases where cpufreq_add_dev() may fail for some CPUs
during system resume. With the current code we will still have
sysfs cpufreq files for those CPUs and struct cpufreq_policy
would be already freed for them. Hence any operation on those
sysfs files would result in kernel warnings.
Example of problems resulting from resume errors (from Bjørn Mork):

To fix this, remove those sysfs files or put the associated kobject
in case of such errors. Also, to make it simple, remove the cpufreq
sysfs links from all the CPUs (except for the policy->cpu) during
suspend, as that operation won't result in a loss of sysfs file
permissions and we can create those links during resume just fine.

This is effectively a revert of commit 5302c3fb2e ("cpufreq: Perform
light-weight init/teardown during suspend/resume"), which enabled
suspend/resume optimizations leaving the sysfs files in place.
Errors during suspend/resume are not handled properly, leaving
dead sysfs attributes in case of failures. There are are number of
functions with special code for the "frozen" case, and all these
need to also have special error handling.
The problem is easy to demonstrate by making cpufreq_driver->init()
or cpufreq_driver->get() fail during resume.
The code is too complex for a simple fix, with split code paths
in multiple blocks within a number of functions. It is therefore
best to revert the patch enabling this code until the error handling
is in place.

The failure to restore cpufreq devices on cancelled hibernation is
not a new bug. It is caused by the ACPI _PPC call failing unless the
hibernate is completed. This makes the acpi_cpufreq driver fail its
init.
Previously, the cpufreq device could be restored by offlining the
cpu temporarily. And as a complete hibernation cycle would do this,
it would be automatically restored most of the time. But after
commit 5302c3fb2e the leftover sysfs attributes will block any
device add action. Therefore offlining and onlining CPU 1 will no
longer restore the cpufreq object, and a complete suspend/resume
cycle will replace it with garbage.

Lan Tianyu (Intel) & Jinhyuk Choi (Broadcom) found anr issue where
tunables configuration for clusters/sockets with non-boot CPUs was
getting lost after suspend/resume, as we were notifying governors
with CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT on removal of the last cpu for that
policy and so deallocating memory for tunables. This is fixed by
this patch as we don't allow any operation on governors after
device suspend and before device resume now.

Most of the drivers do following in their ->target_index() routines:
struct cpufreq_freqs freqs;
freqs.old = old freq...
freqs.new = new freq...
cpufreq_notify_transition(policy, &freqs, CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE);
/* Change rate here */
cpufreq_notify_transition(policy, &freqs, CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE);
This is replicated over all cpufreq drivers today and there doesn't exists a
good enough reason why this shouldn't be moved to cpufreq core instead.
There are few special cases though, like exynos5440, which doesn't do everything
on the call to ->target_index() routine and call some kind of bottom halves for
doing this work, work/tasklet/etc..
They may continue doing notification from their own code as flag:
CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION is already set for them.
All drivers are also modified in this patch to avoid breaking 'git bisect', as
double notification would happen otherwise.

Currently, the prototype of cpufreq_drivers target routines is:
int target(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int target_freq,
unsigned int relation);
And most of the drivers call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() to get a valid
index of their frequency table which is closest to the target_freq. And they
don't use target_freq and relation after that.
So, it makes sense to just do this work in cpufreq core before calling
cpufreq_frequency_table_target() and simply pass index instead. But this can be
done only with drivers which expose their frequency table with cpufreq core. For
others we need to stick with the old prototype of target() until those drivers
are converted to expose frequency tables.
This patch implements the new light weight prototype for target_index() routine.
It looks like this:
int target_index(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int index);
CPUFreq core will call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() before calling this
routine and pass index to it. Because CPUFreq core now requires to call routines
present in freq_table.c CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE must be enabled all the time.
This also marks target() interface as deprecated. So, that new drivers avoid
using it. And Documentation is updated accordingly.
It also converts existing .target() to newly defined light weight
.target_index() routine for many driver.

update_policy_cpu(policy, new_cpu);
unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu);
{lock|unlock}_policy_rwsem_write(cpu) takes/releases policy->cpu's rwsem.
Because cpu is changing with the call to update_policy_cpu(), the
unlock_policy_rwsem_write() will release the incorrect lock.
The right solution would be to release the same lock as was taken earlier. Also
update_policy_cpu() was also called from cpufreq_add_dev() without any locks and

If update_policy_cpu() is invoked with the existing policy->cpu itself
as the new-cpu parameter, then a lot of things can go terribly wrong.
In its present form, update_policy_cpu() always assumes that the new-cpu
is different from policy->cpu and invokes other functions to perform their
respective updates. And those functions implement the actual update like
this:
per_cpu(..., new_cpu) = per_cpu(..., last_cpu);
per_cpu(..., last_cpu) = NULL;
Thus, when new_cpu == last_cpu, the final NULL assignment makes the per-cpu
references vanish into thin air! (memory leak). From there, it leads to more
problems: cpufreq_stats_create_table() now doesn't find the per-cpu reference
and hence tries to create a new sysfs-group; but sysfs already had created
the group earlier, so it complains that it cannot create a duplicate filename.
In short, the repercussions of a rather innocuous invocation of
update_policy_cpu() can turn out to be pretty nasty.
Ideally update_policy_cpu() should handle this situation (new == last)
gracefully, and not lead to such severe problems. So fix it by adding an
appropriate check.

In __cpufreq_remove_dev_prepare(), the code which decides whether to remove
the sysfs link or nominate a new policy cpu, is governed by an if/else block
with a rather complex set of conditionals. Worse, they harbor a subtlety
which leads to certain unintended behavior.
The code looks like this:
if (cpu != policy->cpu && !frozen) {
sysfs_remove_link(&dev->kobj, "cpufreq");
} else if (cpus > 1) {
new_cpu = cpufreq_nominate_new_policy_cpu(...);
...
update_policy_cpu(..., new_cpu);
}
The original intention was:
If the CPU going offline is not policy->cpu, just remove the link.
On the other hand, if the CPU going offline is the policy->cpu itself,
handover the policy->cpu job to some other surviving CPU in that policy.
But because the 'if' condition also includes the 'frozen' check, now there
are *two* possibilities by which we can enter the 'else' block:
1. cpu == policy->cpu (intended)
2. cpu != policy->cpu && frozen (unintended)
Due to the second (unintended) scenario, we end up spuriously nominating
a CPU as the policy->cpu, even when the existing policy->cpu is alive and
well. This can cause problems further down the line, especially when we end
up nominating the same policy->cpu as the new one (ie., old == new),
because it totally confuses update_policy_cpu().
To avoid this mess, restructure the if/else block to only do what was
originally intended, and thus prevent any unwelcome surprises.

Stephen Warren reported that the cpufreq-stats code hits a NULL pointer
dereference during the second attempt to suspend a system. He also
pin-pointed the problem to commit 5302c3f "cpufreq: Perform light-weight
init/teardown during suspend/resume".
That commit actually ensured that the cpufreq-stats table and the
cpufreq-stats sysfs entries are *not* torn down (ie., not freed) during
suspend/resume, which makes it all the more surprising. However, it turns
out that the root-cause is not that we access an already freed memory, but
that the reference to the allocated memory gets moved around and we lose
track of that during resume, leading to the reported crash in a subsequent
suspend attempt.
In the suspend path, during CPU offline, the value of policy->cpu is updated
by choosing one of the surviving CPUs in that policy, as long as there is
atleast one CPU in that policy. And cpufreq_stats_update_policy_cpu() is
invoked to update the reference to the stats structure by assigning it to
the new CPU. However, in the resume path, during CPU online, we end up
assigning a fresh CPU as the policy->cpu, without letting cpufreq-stats
know about this. Thus the reference to the stats structure remains
(incorrectly) associated with the old CPU. So, in a subsequent suspend attempt,
during CPU offline, we end up accessing an incorrect location to get the
stats structure, which eventually leads to the NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this by letting cpufreq-stats know about the update of the policy->cpu
during CPU online in the resume path. (Also, move the update_policy_cpu()
function higher up in the file, so that __cpufreq_add_dev() can invoke
it).

Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
serialized) attempted to serialize frequency transitions by
adding checks to the CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE and CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE
notifications. However, it assumed that the notifications will
always originate from the driver's .target() callback, but they
also can be triggered by cpufreq_out_of_sync() and that leads to
warnings like this on some systems:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 14543 at drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c:317

Commit "cpufreq: serialize calls to __cpufreq_governor()" had been a temporary
and partial solution to the race condition between writing to a cpufreq sysfs
file and taking a CPU offline. Now that we have a proper and complete solution
to that problem, remove the temporary fix.

The functions that are used to write to cpufreq sysfs files (such as
store_scaling_max_freq()) are not hotplug safe. They can race with CPU
hotplug tasks and lead to problems such as trying to acquire an already
destroyed timer-mutex etc.
Eg:
__cpufreq_remove_dev()
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
policy->governor->governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
cpufreq_governor_dbs()
case CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP:
mutex_destroy(&cpu_cdbs->timer_mutex)
cpu_cdbs->cur_policy = NULL;
<PREEMPT>
store()
__cpufreq_set_policy()
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS);
policy->governor->governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS);
case CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS:
mutex_lock(&cpu_cdbs->timer_mutex); <-- Warning (destroyed mutex)
if (policy->max < cpu_cdbs->cur_policy->cur) <- cur_policy == NULL
So use get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() in the store_*() functions, to
synchronize with CPU hotplug. However, there is an additional point to note
here: some parts of the CPU teardown in the cpufreq subsystem are done in
the CPU_POST_DEAD stage, with cpu_hotplug.lock *released*. So, using the
get/put_online_cpus() functions alone is insufficient; we should also ensure
that we don't race with those latter steps in the hotplug sequence. We can
easily achieve this by checking if the CPU is online before proceeding with
the store, since the CPU would have been marked offline by the time the
CPU_POST_DEAD notifiers are executed.

__cpufreq_remove_dev_finish() handles the kobject cleanup for a CPU going
offline. But because we destroy the kobject towards the end of the CPU offline
phase, there are certain race windows where a task can try to write to a
cpufreq sysfs file (eg: using store_scaling_max_freq()) while we are taking
that CPU offline, and this can bump up the kobject refcount, which in turn might
hinder the CPU offline task from running to completion. (It can also cause
other more serious problems such as trying to acquire a destroyed timer-mutex
etc., depending on the exact stage of the cleanup at which the task managed to
take a new refcount).
To fix the race window, we will need to synchronize those store_*() call-sites
with CPU hotplug, using get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus(). However, that
in turn can cause a total deadlock because it can end up waiting for the
CPU offline task to complete, with incremented refcount!
Write to sysfs CPU offline task
-------------- ----------------
kobj_refcnt++
Acquire cpu_hotplug.lock
get_online_cpus();
Wait for kobj_refcnt to drop to zero
**DEADLOCK**
A simple way to avoid this problem is to perform the kobject cleanup in the
CPU offline path, with the cpu_hotplug.lock *released*. That is, we can
perform the wait-for-kobj-refcnt-to-drop as well as the subsequent cleanup
in the CPU_POST_DEAD stage of CPU offline, which is run with cpu_hotplug.lock
released. Doing this helps us avoid deadlocks due to holding kobject refcounts
and waiting on each other on the cpu_hotplug.lock.
(Note: We can't move all of the cpufreq CPU offline steps to the
CPU_POST_DEAD stage, because certain things such as stopping the governors
have to be done before the outgoing CPU is marked offline. So retain those
parts in the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE stage itself).

During CPU offline, the cpufreq core invokes __cpufreq_remove_dev()
to perform work such as stopping the cpufreq governor, clearing the
CPU from the policy structure etc, and finally cleaning up the
kobject.
There are certain subtle issues related to the kobject cleanup, and
it would be much easier to deal with them if we separate that part
from the rest of the cleanup-work in the CPU offline phase. So split
the __cpufreq_remove_dev() function into 2 parts: one that handles
the kobject cleanup, and the other that handles the rest of the work.

We can't take a big lock around __cpufreq_governor() as this causes
recursive locking for some cases. But calls to this routine must be
serialized for every policy. Otherwise we can see some unpredictable
events.
For example, consider following scenario:
__cpufreq_remove_dev()
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
policy->governor->governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
cpufreq_governor_dbs()
case CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP:
mutex_destroy(&cpu_cdbs->timer_mutex)
cpu_cdbs->cur_policy = NULL;
<PREEMPT>
store()
__cpufreq_set_policy()
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS);
policy->governor->governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS);
case CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS:
mutex_lock(&cpu_cdbs->timer_mutex); <-- Warning (destroyed mutex)
if (policy->max < cpu_cdbs->cur_policy->cur) <- cur_policy == NULL
And so store() will eventually result in a crash if cur_policy is
NULL at this point.
Introduce an additional variable which would guarantee serialization
here.

__cpufreq_governor() returns with -EBUSY when governor is already
stopped and we try to stop it again, but when it is stopped we must
not allow calls to CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS event as well.
This patch adds this check in __cpufreq_governor().
