+ <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
+
+<h2>Introduction</h2>
+
+This document describes RCU's expedited grace periods.
+Unlike RCU's normal grace periods, which accept long latencies to attain
+high efficiency and minimal disturbance, expedited grace periods accept
+lower efficiency and significant disturbance to attain shorter latencies.
+
+<p>
+There are three flavors of RCU (RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched),
+but only two flavors of expedited grace periods because the RCU-bh
+expedited grace period maps onto the RCU-sched expedited grace period.
+Each of the remaining two implementations is covered in its own section.

+<h2><a name="Expedited Grace Period Design">
+Expedited Grace Period Design</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+The expedited RCU grace periods cannot be accused of being subtle,
+given that they for all intents and purposes hammer every CPU that
+has not yet provided a quiescent state for the current expedited
+grace period.
+The one saving grace is that the hammer has grown a bit smaller
+over time: The old call to <tt>try_stop_cpus()</tt> has been
+replaced with a set of calls to <tt>smp_call_function_single()</tt>,
+each of which results in an IPI to the target CPU.
+The corresponding handler function checks the CPU's state, motivating
+a faster quiescent state where possible, and triggering a report
+of that quiescent state.
+As always for RCU, once everything has spent some time in a quiescent
+state, the expedited grace period has completed.
+
+<p>
+The details of the <tt>smp_call_function_single()</tt> handler's
+operation depend on the RCU flavor, as described in the following
+sections.
+
+<h2><a name="RCU-preempt Expedited Grace Periods">
+RCU-preempt Expedited Grace Periods</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+The overall flow of the handling of a given CPU by an RCU-preempt
+expedited grace period is shown in the following diagram:
+
+<p><img src="ExpRCUFlow.svg" alt="ExpRCUFlow.svg" width="55%">
+
+<p>
+The solid arrows denote direct action, for example, a function call.
+The dotted arrows denote indirect action, for example, an IPI
+or a state that is reached after some time.
+
+<p>
+If a given CPU is offline or idle, <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>
+will ignore it because idle and offline CPUs are already residing
+in quiescent states.
+Otherwise, the expedited grace period will use
+<tt>smp_call_function_single()</tt> to send the CPU an IPI, which
+is handled by <tt>sync_rcu_exp_handler()</tt>.
+
+<p>
+However, because this is preemptible RCU, <tt>sync_rcu_exp_handler()</tt>
+can check to see if the CPU is currently running in an RCU read-side
+critical section.
+If not, the handler can immediately report a quiescent state.
+Otherwise, it sets flags so that the outermost <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>
+invocation will provide the needed quiescent-state report.
+This flag-setting avoids the previous forced preemption of all
+CPUs that might have RCU read-side critical sections.
+In addition, this flag-setting is done so as to avoid increasing
+the overhead of the common-case fastpath through the scheduler.
+
+<p>
+Again because this is preemptible RCU, an RCU read-side critical section
+can be preempted.
+When that happens, RCU will enqueue the task, which will the continue to
+block the current expedited grace period until it resumes and finds its
+outermost <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>.
+The CPU will report a quiescent state just after enqueuing the task because
+the CPU is no longer blocking the grace period.
+It is instead the preempted task doing the blocking.
+The list of blocked tasks is managed by <tt>rcu_preempt_ctxt_queue()</tt>,
+which is called from <tt>rcu_preempt_note_context_switch()</tt>, which
+in turn is called from <tt>rcu_note_context_switch()</tt>, which in
+turn is called from the scheduler.

+<tr><th align="left">Quick Quiz:</th></tr>
+<tr><td>
+ Why not just have the expedited grace period check the
+ state of all the CPUs?
+ After all, that would avoid all those real-time-unfriendly IPIs.
+</td></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Answer:</th></tr>
+<tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font color="ffffff">
+ Because we want the RCU read-side critical sections to run fast,
+ which means no memory barriers.
+ Therefore, it is not possible to safely check the state from some
+ other CPU.
+ And even if it was possible to safely check the state, it would
+ still be necessary to IPI the CPU to safely interact with the
+ upcoming <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> invocation, which means that
+ the remote state testing would not help the worst-case
+ latency that real-time applications care about.
+
+ <p><font color="ffffff">One way to prevent your real-time
+ application from getting hit with these IPIs is to
+ build your kernel with <tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y</tt>.
+ RCU would then perceive the CPU running your application
+ as being idle, and it would be able to safely detect that
+ state without needing to IPI the CPU.

+<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>
+Please note that this is just the overall flow:
+Additional complications can arise due to races with CPUs going idle
+or offline, among other things.
+
+<h2><a name="RCU-sched Expedited Grace Periods">
+RCU-sched Expedited Grace Periods</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+The overall flow of the handling of a given CPU by an RCU-sched
+expedited grace period is shown in the following diagram:
+
+<p><img src="ExpSchedFlow.svg" alt="ExpSchedFlow.svg" width="55%">
+
+<p>
+As with RCU-preempt's <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>,
+<tt>synchronize_sched_expedited()</tt> ignores offline and
+idle CPUs, again because they are in remotely detectable
+quiescent states.
+However, the <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt> handler
+is <tt>sync_sched_exp_handler()</tt>, and because the
+<tt>rcu_read_lock_sched()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt>
+leave no trace of their invocation, in general it is not possible to tell
+whether or not the current CPU is in an RCU read-side critical section.
+The best that <tt>sync_sched_exp_handler()</tt> can do is to check
+for idle, on the off-chance that the CPU went idle while the IPI
+was in flight.
+If the CPU is idle, then tt>sync_sched_exp_handler()</tt> reports
+the quiescent state.
+
+<p>
+Otherwise, the handler invokes <tt>resched_cpu()</tt>, which forces
+a future context switch.
+At the time of the context switch, the CPU reports the quiescent state.
+Should the CPU go offline first, it will report the quiescent state
+at that time.
+
+<h2><a name="Expedited Grace Period and CPU Hotplug">
+Expedited Grace Period and CPU Hotplug</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+The expedited nature of expedited grace periods require a much tighter
+interaction with CPU hotplug operations than is required for normal
+grace periods.
+In addition, attempting to IPI offline CPUs will result in splats, but
+failing to IPI online CPUs can result in too-short grace periods.
+Neither option is acceptable in production kernels.
+
+<p>
+The interaction between expedited grace periods and CPU hotplug operations
+is carried out at several levels:
+
+<ol>
+<li> The number of CPUs that have ever been online is tracked
+ by the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;ncpus</tt>
+ field.
+ The <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;ncpus_snap</tt>
+ field tracks the number of CPUs that have ever been online
+ at the beginning of an RCU expedited grace period.
+ Note that this number never decreases, at least in the absence
+ of a time machine.
+<li> The identities of the CPUs that have ever been online is
+ tracked by the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's
+ <tt>-&gt;expmaskinitnext</tt> field.
+ The <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;expmaskinit</tt>
+ field tracks the identities of the CPUs that were online
+ at least once at the beginning of the most recent RCU
+ expedited grace period.
+ The <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;ncpus</tt> and
+ <tt>-&gt;ncpus_snap</tt> fields are used to detect when
+ new CPUs have come online for the first time, that is,
+ when the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;expmaskinitnext</tt>
+ field has changed since the beginning of the last RCU
+ expedited grace period, which triggers an update of each
+ <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;expmaskinit</tt>
+ field from its <tt>-&gt;expmaskinitnext</tt> field.
+<li> Each <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;expmaskinit</tt>
+ field is used to initialize that structure's
+ <tt>-&gt;expmask</tt> at the beginning of each RCU
+ expedited grace period.
+ This means that only those CPUs that have been online at least
+ once will be considered for a given grace period.
+<li> Any CPU that goes offline will clear its bit in its leaf
+ <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;qsmaskinitnext</tt>
+ field, so any CPU with that bit clear can safely be ignored.
+ However, it is possible for a CPU coming online or going offline
+ to have this bit set for some time while <tt>cpu_online</tt>
+ returns <tt>false</tt>.
+<li> For each non-idle CPU that RCU believes is currently online, the grace
+ period invokes <tt>smp_call_function_single()</tt>.
+ If this succeeds, the CPU was fully online.
+ Failure indicates that the CPU is in the process of coming online
+ or going offline, in which case it is necessary to wait for a
+ short time period and try again.
+ The purpose of this wait (or series of waits, as the case may be)
+ is to permit a concurrent CPU-hotplug operation to complete.
+<li> In the case of RCU-sched, one of the last acts of an outgoing CPU
+ is to invoke <tt>rcu_report_dead()</tt>, which
+ reports a quiescent state for that CPU.
+ However, this is likely paranoia-induced redundancy. <!-- @@@ -->

+ Why all the dancing around with multiple counters and masks
+ tracking CPUs that were once online?
+ Why not just have a single set of masks tracking the currently
+ online CPUs and be done with it?
+</td></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Answer:</th></tr>
+<tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font color="ffffff">
+ Maintaining single set of masks tracking the online CPUs <i>sounds</i>
+ easier, at least until you try working out all the race conditions
+ between grace-period initialization and CPU-hotplug operations.
+ For example, suppose initialization is progressing down the
+ tree while a CPU-offline operation is progressing up the tree.
+ This situation can result in bits set at the top of the tree
+ that have no counterparts at the bottom of the tree.
+ Those bits will never be cleared, which will result in
+ grace-period hangs.
+ In short, that way lies madness, to say nothing of a great many
+ bugs, hangs, and deadlocks.
+
+ <p><font color="ffffff">
+ In contrast, the current multi-mask multi-counter scheme ensures
+ that grace-period initialization will always see consistent masks
+ up and down the tree, which brings significant simplifications
+ over the single-mask method.

+ Lazily recording CPU-hotplug events at the beginning of the next

+<h3><a name="Idle-CPU Checks">Idle-CPU Checks</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+Each expedited grace period checks for idle CPUs when initially forming
+the mask of CPUs to be IPIed and again just before IPIing a CPU
+(both checks are carried out by <tt>sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus()</tt>).
+If the CPU is idle at any time between those two times, the CPU will
+not be IPIed.
+Instead, the task pushing the grace period forward will include the
+idle CPUs in the mask passed to <tt>rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult()</tt>.
+
+<p>
+For RCU-sched, there is an additional check for idle in the IPI
+handler, <tt>sync_sched_exp_handler()</tt>.
+If the IPI has interrupted the idle loop, then
+<tt>sync_sched_exp_handler()</tt> invokes <tt>rcu_report_exp_rdp()</tt>
+to report the corresponding quiescent state.
+
+<p>
+For RCU-preempt, there is no specific check for idle in the
+IPI handler (<tt>sync_rcu_exp_handler()</tt>), but because
+RCU read-side critical sections are not permitted within the
+idle loop, if <tt>sync_rcu_exp_handler()</tt> sees that the CPU is within
+RCU read-side critical section, the CPU cannot possibly be idle.
+Otherwise, <tt>sync_rcu_exp_handler()</tt> invokes
+<tt>rcu_report_exp_rdp()</tt> to report the corresponding quiescent
+state, regardless of whether or not that quiescent state was due to
+the CPU being idle.
+
+<p>
+In summary, RCU expedited grace periods check for idle when building
+the bitmask of CPUs that must be IPIed, just before sending each IPI,
+and (either explicitly or implicitly) within the IPI handler.
+
+<h3><a name="Batching via Sequence Counter">
+Batching via Sequence Counter</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+If each grace-period request was carried out separately, expedited
+grace periods would have abysmal scalability and
+problematic high-load characteristics.
+Because each grace-period operation can serve an unlimited number of
+updates, it is important to <i>batch</i> requests, so that a single
+expedited grace-period operation will cover all requests in the
+corresponding batch.
+
+<p>
+This batching is controlled by a sequence counter named
+<tt>-&gt;expedited_sequence</tt> in the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure.
+This counter has an odd value when there is an expedited grace period
+in progress and an even value otherwise, so that dividing the counter
+value by two gives the number of completed grace periods.
+During any given update request, the counter must transition from
+even to odd and then back to even, thus indicating that a grace
+period has elapsed.
+Therefore, if the initial value of the counter is <tt>s</tt>,
+the updater must wait until the counter reaches at least the
+value <tt>(s+3)&amp;~0x1</tt>.
+This counter is managed by the following access functions:
+
+<ol>
+<li> <tt>rcu_exp_gp_seq_start()</tt>, which marks the start of
+ an expedited grace period.
+<li> <tt>rcu_exp_gp_seq_end()</tt>, which marks the end of an
+ expedited grace period.
+<li> <tt>rcu_exp_gp_seq_snap()</tt>, which obtains a snapshot of
+ the counter.
+<li> <tt>rcu_exp_gp_seq_done()</tt>, which returns <tt>true</tt>
+ if a full expedited grace period has elapsed since the
+ corresponding call to <tt>rcu_exp_gp_seq_snap()</tt>.
+</ol>
+
+<p>
+Again, only one request in a given batch need actually carry out
+a grace-period operation, which means there must be an efficient
+way to identify which of many concurrent reqeusts will initiate
+the grace period, and that there be an efficient way for the
+remaining requests to wait for that grace period to complete.
+However, that is the topic of the next section.
+
+<h3><a name="Funnel Locking and Wait/Wakeup">
+Funnel Locking and Wait/Wakeup</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+The natural way to sort out which of a batch of updaters will initiate
+the expedited grace period is to use the <tt>rcu_node</tt> combining
+tree, as implemented by the <tt>exp_funnel_lock()</tt> function.
+The first updater corresponding to a given grace period arriving
+at a given <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure records its desired grace-period
+sequence number in the <tt>-&gt;exp_seq_rq</tt> field and moves up
+to the next level in the tree.
+Otherwise, if the <tt>-&gt;exp_seq_rq</tt> field already contains
+the sequence number for the desired grace period or some later one,
+the updater blocks on one of four wait queues in the
+<tt>-&gt;exp_wq[]</tt> array, using the second-from-bottom
+and third-from bottom bits as an index.
+An <tt>-&gt;exp_lock</tt> field in the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure
+synchronizes access to these fields.
+
+<p>
+An empty <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree is shown in the following diagram,
+with the white cells representing the <tt>-&gt;exp_seq_rq</tt> field
+and the red cells representing the elements of the
+<tt>-&gt;exp_wq[]</tt> array.
+
+<p><img src="Funnel0.svg" alt="Funnel0.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+The next diagram shows the situation after the arrival of Task&nbsp;A
+and Task&nbsp;B at the leftmost and rightmost leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structures, respectively.
+The current value of the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;expedited_sequence</tt> field is zero, so adding three and
+clearing the bottom bit results in the value two, which both tasks
+record in the <tt>-&gt;exp_seq_rq</tt> field of their respective
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structures:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel1.svg" alt="Funnel1.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Each of Tasks&nbsp;A and&nbsp;B will move up to the root
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.
+Suppose that Task&nbsp;A wins, recording its desired grace-period sequence
+number and resulting in the state shown below:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel2.svg" alt="Funnel2.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Task&nbsp;A now advances to initiate a new grace period, while Task&nbsp;B
+moves up to the root <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, and, seeing that
+its desired sequence number is already recorded, blocks on
+<tt>-&gt;exp_wq[1]</tt>.
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>&nbsp;</th></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Quick Quiz:</th></tr>
+<tr><td>
+ Why <tt>-&gt;exp_wq[1]</tt>?

+<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>
+If Tasks&nbsp;C and&nbsp;D also arrive at this point, they will compute the
+same desired grace-period sequence number, and see that both leaf
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structures already have that value recorded.
+They will therefore block on their respective <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structures' <tt>-&gt;exp_wq[1]</tt> fields, as shown below:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel3.svg" alt="Funnel3.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Task&nbsp;A now acquires the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;exp_mutex</tt> and initiates the grace period, which
+increments <tt>-&gt;expedited_sequence</tt>.
+Therefore, if Tasks&nbsp;E and&nbsp;F arrive, they will compute
+a desired sequence number of 4 and will record this value as
+shown below:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel4.svg" alt="Funnel4.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Tasks&nbsp;E and&nbsp;F will propagate up the <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+combining tree, with Task&nbsp;F blocking on the root <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure and Task&nbsp;E wait for Task&nbsp;A to finish so that
+it can start the next grace period.
+The resulting state is as shown below:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel5.svg" alt="Funnel5.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Once the grace period completes, Task&nbsp;A
+starts waking up the tasks waiting for this grace period to complete,
+increments the <tt>-&gt;expedited_sequence</tt>,
+acquires the <tt>-&gt;exp_wake_mutex</tt> and then releases the
+<tt>-&gt;exp_mutex</tt>.
+This results in the following state:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel6.svg" alt="Funnel6.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Task&nbsp;E can then acquire <tt>-&gt;exp_mutex</tt> and increment
+<tt>-&gt;expedited_sequence</tt> to the value three.
+If new tasks&nbsp;G and&nbsp;H arrive and moves up the combining tree at the
+same time, the state will be as follows:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel7.svg" alt="Funnel7.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Note that three of the root <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's
+waitqueues are now occupied.
+However, at some point, Task&nbsp;A will wake up the
+tasks blocked on the <tt>-&gt;exp_wq</tt> waitqueues, resulting
+in the following state:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel8.svg" alt="Funnel8.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Execution will continue with Tasks&nbsp;E and&nbsp;H completing
+their grace periods and carrying out their wakeups.

+<h3><a name="Use of Workqueues">Use of Workqueues</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+In earlier implementations, the task requesting the expedited
+grace period also drove it to completion.
+This straightforward approach had the disadvantage of needing to
+account for signals sent to user tasks,
+so more recent implemementations use the Linux kernel's
+<a href="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/workqueue.txt">workqueues</a>.
+
+<p>
+The requesting task still does counter snapshotting and funnel-lock
+processing, but the task reaching the top of the funnel lock
+does a <tt>schedule_work()</tt> (from <tt>_synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>
+so that a workqueue kthread does the actual grace-period processing.
+Because workqueue kthreads do not accept signals, grace-period-wait
+processing need not allow for signals.
+
+In addition, this approach allows wakeups for the previous expedited
+grace period to be overlapped with processing for the next expedited
+grace period.
+Because there are only four sets of waitqueues, it is necessary to
+ensure that the previous grace period's wakeups complete before the
+next grace period's wakeups start.
+This is handled by having the <tt>-&gt;exp_mutex</tt>
+guard expedited grace-period processing and the
+<tt>-&gt;exp_wake_mutex</tt> guard wakeups.
+The key point is that the <tt>-&gt;exp_mutex</tt> is not released
+until the first wakeup is complete, which means that the
+<tt>-&gt;exp_wake_mutex</tt> has already been acquired at that point.
+This approach ensures that the previous grace period's wakeups can
+be carried out while the current grace period is in process, but
+that these wakeups will complete before the next grace period starts.
+This means that only three waitqueues are required, guaranteeing that
+the four that are provided are sufficient.
+
+<h3><a name="Stall Warnings">Stall Warnings</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+Expediting grace periods does nothing to speed things up when RCU
+readers take too long, and therefore expedited grace periods check
+for stalls just as normal grace periods do.
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>&nbsp;</th></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Quick Quiz:</th></tr>
+<tr><td>
+ But why not just let the normal grace-period machinery
+ detect the stalls, given that a given reader must block
+ both normal and expedited grace periods?
+</td></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Answer:</th></tr>
+<tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font color="ffffff">
+ Because it is quite possible that at a given time there
+ is no normal grace period in progress, in which case the
+ normal grace period cannot emit a stall warning.
+</font></td></tr>
+<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+The <tt>synchronize_sched_expedited_wait()</tt> function loops waiting
+for the expedited grace period to end, but with a timeout set to the
+current RCU CPU stall-warning time.
+If this time is exceeded, any CPUs or <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures
+blocking the current grace period are printed.
+Each stall warning results in another pass through the loop, but the
+second and subsequent passes use longer stall times.
+
+<h3><a name="Summary">
+Summary</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+Expedited grace periods use a sequence-number approach to promote
+batching, so that a single grace-period operation can serve numerous
+requests.
+A funnel lock is used to efficiently identify the one task out of
+a concurrent group that will request the grace period.
+All members of the group will block on waitqueues provided in
+the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.
+The actual grace-period processing is carried out by a workqueue.
+
+<p>
+CPU-hotplug operations are noted lazily in order to prevent the need
+for tight synchronization between expedited grace periods and
+CPU-hotplug operations.
+The dyntick-idle counters are used to avoid sending IPIs to idle CPUs,
+at least in the common case.
+RCU-preempt and RCU-sched use different IPI handlers and different
+code to respond to the state changes carried out by those handlers,
+but otherwise use common code.
+
+<p>
+Quiescent states are tracked using the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree,
+and once all necessary quiescent states have been reported,
+all tasks waiting on this expedited grace period are awakened.
+A pair of mutexes are used to allow one grace period's wakeups
+to proceed concurrently with the next grace period's processing.
+
+<p>
+This combination of mechanisms allows expedited grace periods to
+run reasonably efficiently.
+However, for non-time-critical tasks, normal grace periods should be
+used instead because their longer duration permits much higher
+degrees of batching, and thus much lower per-request overheads.

1. What Is A CPUFreq Governor?

Most cpufreq drivers (except the intel_pstate and longrun) or even most
-cpu frequency scaling algorithms only offer the CPU to be set to one
-frequency. In order to offer dynamic frequency scaling, the cpufreq
-core must be able to tell these drivers of a "target frequency". So
-these specific drivers will be transformed to offer a "->target/target_index"
-call instead of the existing "->setpolicy" call. For "longrun", all
-stays the same, though.

2.4 Ondemand
------------
-The CPUfreq governor "ondemand" sets the CPU depending on the
-current usage. To do this the CPU must have the capability to
-switch the frequency very quickly. There are a number of sysfs file
-accessible parameters:
-
-sampling_rate: measured in uS (10^-6 seconds), this is how often you
-want the kernel to look at the CPU usage and to make decisions on
-what to do about the frequency. Typically this is set to values of
-around '10000' or more. It's default value is (cmp. with users-guide.txt):
-transition_latency * 1000
-Be aware that transition latency is in ns and sampling_rate is in us, so you
-get the same sysfs value by default.
-Sampling rate should always get adjusted considering the transition latency
-To set the sampling rate 750 times as high as the transition latency
-in the bash (as said, 1000 is default), do:
-echo `$(($(cat cpuinfo_transition_latency) * 750 / 1000)) \
- >ondemand/sampling_rate
-
-sampling_rate_min:
-The sampling rate is limited by the HW transition latency:
-transition_latency * 100
-Or by kernel restrictions:
-If CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON is set, the limit is 10ms fixed.
-If CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON is not set or nohz=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)
-The highest value of kernel and HW latency restrictions is shown and
-used as the minimum sampling rate.
-
-up_threshold: defines what the average CPU usage between the samplings
-of 'sampling_rate' needs to be for the kernel to make a decision on
-whether it should increase the frequency. For example when it is set
-to its default value of '95' it means that between the checking
-intervals the CPU needs to be on average more than 95% in use to then
-decide that the CPU frequency needs to be increased.
-
-ignore_nice_load: this parameter takes a value of '0' or '1'. When
-set to '0' (its default), all processes are counted towards the
-'cpu utilisation' value. When set to '1', the processes that are
-run with a 'nice' value will not count (and thus be ignored) in the
-overall usage calculation. This is useful if you are running a CPU
-intensive calculation on your laptop that you do not care how long it
-takes to complete as you can 'nice' it and prevent it from taking part
-in the deciding process of whether to increase your CPU frequency.
-
-sampling_down_factor: this parameter controls the rate at which the
-kernel makes a decision on when to decrease the frequency while running
-at top speed. When set to 1 (the default) decisions to reevaluate load
-are made at the same interval regardless of current clock speed. But
-when set to greater than 1 (e.g. 100) it acts as a multiplier for the
-scheduling interval for reevaluating load when the CPU is at its top
-speed due to high load. This improves performance by reducing the overhead
-of load evaluation and helping the CPU stay at its top speed when truly
-busy, rather than shifting back and forth in speed. This tunable has no
-effect on behavior at lower speeds/lower CPU loads.
-
-powersave_bias: this parameter takes a value between 0 to 1000. It
-defines the percentage (times 10) value of the target frequency that
-will be shaved off of the target. For example, when set to 100 -- 10%,
-when ondemand governor would have targeted 1000 MHz, it will target
-1000 MHz - (10% of 1000 MHz) = 900 MHz instead. This is set to 0
-(disabled) by default.
-When AMD frequency sensitivity powersave bias driver --
-drivers/cpufreq/amd_freq_sensitivity.c is loaded, this parameter
-defines the workload frequency sensitivity threshold in which a lower
-frequency is chosen instead of ondemand governor's original target.
-The frequency sensitivity is a hardware reported (on AMD Family 16h
-Processors and above) value between 0 to 100% that tells software how
-the performance of the workload running on a CPU will change when
-frequency changes. A workload with sensitivity of 0% (memory/IO-bound)
-will not perform any better on higher core frequency, whereas a
-workload with sensitivity of 100% (CPU-bound) will perform better
-higher the frequency. When the driver is loaded, this is set to 400
-by default -- for CPUs running workloads with sensitivity value below
-40%, a lower frequency is chosen. Unloading the driver or writing 0
-will disable this feature.

2.5 Conservative
----------------
The CPUfreq governor "conservative", much like the "ondemand"
-governor, sets the CPU depending on the current usage. It differs in
-behaviour in that it gracefully increases and decreases the CPU speed
-rather than jumping to max speed the moment there is any load on the
-CPU. This behaviour more suitable in a battery powered environment.
-The governor is tweaked in the same manner as the "ondemand" governor
-through sysfs with the addition of:
-
-freq_step: this describes what percentage steps the cpu freq should be
-increased and decreased smoothly by. By default the cpu frequency will
-increase in 5% chunks of your maximum cpu frequency. You can change this
-value to anywhere between 0 and 100 where '0' will effectively lock your
-CPU at a speed regardless of its load whilst '100' will, in theory, make
-it behave identically to the "ondemand" governor.
-
-down_threshold: same as the 'up_threshold' found for the "ondemand"
-governor but for the opposite direction. For example when set to its
-default value of '20' it means that if the CPU usage needs to be below
-20% between samples to have the frequency decreased.
-
-sampling_down_factor: similar functionality as in "ondemand" governor.
-But in "conservative", it controls the rate at which the kernel makes
-a decision on when to decrease the frequency while running in any
-speed. Load for frequency increase is still evaluated every
-sampling rate.

+
+2.6 Schedutil
+-------------
+
+The "schedutil" governor aims at better integration with the Linux
+kernel scheduler. Load estimation is achieved through the scheduler's
+Per-Entity Load Tracking (PELT) mechanism, which also provides
+information about the recent load [1]. This governor currently does
+load based DVFS only for tasks managed by CFS. RT and DL scheduler tasks
+are always run at the highest frequency. Unlike all the other
+governors, the code is located under the kernel/sched/ directory.
+
+Sysfs files:
+
+* rate_limit_us:
+
+ This contains a value in microseconds. The governor waits for
+ rate_limit_us time before reevaluating the load again, after it has
+ evaluated the load once.
+
+For an in-depth comparison with the other governors refer to [2].

+Upgrading BIOS using intel-spi
+------------------------------
+
+Many Intel CPUs like Baytrail and Braswell include SPI serial flash host
+controller which is used to hold BIOS and other platform specific data.
+Since contents of the SPI serial flash is crucial for machine to function,
+it is typically protected by different hardware protection mechanisms to
+avoid accidental (or on purpose) overwrite of the content.
+
+Not all manufacturers protect the SPI serial flash, mainly because it
+allows upgrading the BIOS image directly from an OS.
+
+The intel-spi driver makes it possible to read and write the SPI serial
+flash, if certain protection bits are not set and locked. If it finds
+any of them set, the whole MTD device is made read-only to prevent
+partial overwrites. By default the driver exposes SPI serial flash
+contents as read-only but it can be changed from kernel command line,
+passing "intel-spi.writeable=1".
+
+Please keep in mind that overwriting the BIOS image on SPI serial flash
+might render the machine unbootable and requires special equipment like
+Dediprog to revive. You have been warned!
+
+Below are the steps how to upgrade MinnowBoard MAX BIOS directly from
+Linux.
+
+ 1) Download and extract the latest Minnowboard MAX BIOS SPI image
+ [1]. At the time writing this the latest image is v92.
+
+ 2) Install mtd-utils package [2]. We need this in order to erase the SPI
+ serial flash. Distros like Debian and Fedora have this prepackaged with
+ name "mtd-utils".
+
+ 3) Add "intel-spi.writeable=1" to the kernel command line and reboot
+ the board (you can also reload the driver passing "writeable=1" as
+ module parameter to modprobe).
+
+ 4) Once the board is up and running again, find the right MTD partition
+ (it is named as "BIOS"):
+
+ # cat /proc/mtd
+ dev: size erasesize name
+ mtd0: 00800000 00001000 "BIOS"
+
+ So here it will be /dev/mtd0 but it may vary.
+
+ 5) Make backup of the existing image first:
+
+ # dd if=/dev/mtd0ro of=bios.bak
+ 16384+0 records in
+ 16384+0 records out
+ 8388608 bytes (8.4 MB) copied, 10.0269 s, 837 kB/s
+
+ 6) Verify the backup
+
+ # sha1sum /dev/mtd0ro bios.bak
+ fdbb011920572ca6c991377c4b418a0502668b73 /dev/mtd0ro
+ fdbb011920572ca6c991377c4b418a0502668b73 bios.bak
+
+ The SHA1 sums must match. Otherwise do not continue any further!
+
+ 7) Erase the SPI serial flash. After this step, do not reboot the
+ board! Otherwise it will not start anymore.
+
+ # flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 0
+ Erasing 4 Kibyte @ 7ff000 -- 100 % complete
+
+ 8) Once completed without errors you can write the new BIOS image:
+
+ # dd if=MNW2MAX1.X64.0092.R01.1605221712.bin of=/dev/mtd0
+
+ 9) Verify that the new content of the SPI serial flash matches the new
+ BIOS image:
+
+ # sha1sum /dev/mtd0ro MNW2MAX1.X64.0092.R01.1605221712.bin
+ 9b4df9e4be2057fceec3a5529ec3d950836c87a2 /dev/mtd0ro
+ 9b4df9e4be2057fceec3a5529ec3d950836c87a2 MNW2MAX1.X64.0092.R01.1605221712.bin
+
+ The SHA1 sums should match.
+
+ 10) Now you can reboot your board and observe the new BIOS starting up
+ properly.

-The driver can use DMA for the transfers also. In this case ts72xx_spi_info
-becomes:

-static struct ep93xx_spi_info ts72xx_spi_info = {
- .num_chipselect = ARRAY_SIZE(ts72xx_spi_devices),
- .use_dma = true;
-};
-
-Note that CONFIG_EP93XX_DMA should be enabled as well.

-Martin Guy, H. Hartley Sweeten and others who helped me during development of
-the driver. Simplemachines.it donated me a Sim.One board which I used testing
-the driver on EP9307.

-timer_stats - timer usage statistics
-------------------------------------
-
-timer_stats is a debugging facility to make the timer (ab)usage in a Linux
-system visible to kernel and userspace developers. If enabled in the config
-but not used it has almost zero runtime overhead, and a relatively small
-data structure overhead. Even if collection is enabled runtime all the
-locking is per-CPU and lookup is hashed.
-
-timer_stats should be used by kernel and userspace developers to verify that
-their code does not make unduly use of timers. This helps to avoid unnecessary
-wakeups, which should be avoided to optimize power consumption.
-
-It can be enabled by CONFIG_TIMER_STATS in the "Kernel hacking" configuration
-section.
-
-timer_stats collects information about the timer events which are fired in a
-Linux system over a sample period:
-
-- the pid of the task(process) which initialized the timer
-- the name of the process which initialized the timer
-- the function where the timer was initialized
-- the callback function which is associated to the timer
-- the number of events (callbacks)
-
-timer_stats adds an entry to /proc: /proc/timer_stats
-
-This entry is used to control the statistics functionality and to read out the
-sampled information.
-
-The timer_stats functionality is inactive on bootup.
-
-To activate a sample period issue:
-# echo 1 >/proc/timer_stats
-
-To stop a sample period issue:
-# echo 0 >/proc/timer_stats
-
-The statistics can be retrieved by:
-# cat /proc/timer_stats
-
-While sampling is enabled, each readout from /proc/timer_stats will see
-newly updated statistics. Once sampling is disabled, the sampled information
-is kept until a new sample period is started. This allows multiple readouts.
-
-Sample output of /proc/timer_stats:
-
-Timerstats sample period: 3.888770 s

-
-The first column is the number of events, the second column the pid, the third
-column is the name of the process. The forth column shows the function which
-initialized the timer and in parenthesis the callback function which was
-executed on expiry.

- Thomas, Ingo
-
-Added flag to indicate 'deferrable timer' in /proc/timer_stats. A deferrable
-timer will appear as follows
- 10D, 1 swapper queue_delayed_work_on (delayed_work_timer_fn)
