Sysfs code should not call kobject_get() or kobject_put() directly (see the comment around sysfs_schedule_callback() for more information). Fix this deadlock by introducing two new functions: struct cpufreq_policy *cpufreq_cpu_get_sysfs(unsigned int cpu) void cpufreq_cpu_put_sysfs(struct cpufreq_policy *data) which do the same thing as cpufreq_cpu_{get,put}() but don't call kobject functions. To easily trigger this deadlock you can insert an msleep() with a reasonably large value right after the fail label at the bottom of the store() function in cpufreq.c and then write scaling_setspeed in one task and offline the cpu in another. The first task will hang and be detected by the hung task detector. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

2012-01-06[CPUFREQ] update lpj only if frequency has changedAfzal Mohammed1-2/+1
During scaling up of cpu frequency, loops_per_jiffy is updated upon invoking PRECHANGE notifier. If setting to new frequency fails in cpufreq driver, lpj is left at incorrect value. Hence update lpj only if cpu frequency is changed, i.e. upon invoking POSTCHANGE notifier. Penalty would be that during time period between changing cpu frequency & invocation of POSTCHANGE notifier, udelay(x) may not gurantee minimal delay of 'x' us for frequency scaling up operation. Perhaps a better solution would be to define CPUFREQ_ABORTCHANGE & handle accordingly, but then it would be more intrusive (using ABORTCHANGE may help drivers also; if any has registered notifier and expect POST for a PRECHANGE, their needs can be taken care using ABORT) Signed-off-by: Afzal Mohammed <afzal@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
2011-12-21cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular subsystemKay Sievers1-40/+39
This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are implemented as subsystem interfaces now. After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

2011-05-04[CPUFREQ] use dynamic debug instead of custom infrastructureDominik Brodowski1-143/+37
With dynamic debug having gained the capability to report debug messages also during the boot process, it offers a far superior interface for debug messages than the custom cpufreq infrastructure. As a first step, remove the old cpufreq_debug_printk() function and replace it with a call to the generic pr_debug() function. How can dynamic debug be used on cpufreq? You need a kernel which has CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled. To enabled debugging during runtime, mount debugfs and $ echo -n 'module cpufreq +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control for debugging the complete "cpufreq" module. To achieve the same goal during boot, append ddebug_query="module cpufreq +p" as a boot parameter to the kernel of your choice.

2011-05-04[CPUFREQ] CPU hotplug, re-create sysfs directory and symlinksJacob Shin1-2/+18
When we discover CPUs that are affected by each other's frequency/voltage transitions, the first CPU gets a sysfs directory created, and rest of the siblings get symlinks. Currently, when we hotplug off only the first CPU, all of the symlinks and the sysfs directory gets removed. Even though rest of the siblings are still online and functional, they are orphaned, and no longer governed by cpufreq. This patch, given the above scenario, creates a sysfs directory for the first sibling and symlinks for the rest of the siblings. Please note the recursive call, it was rather too ugly to roll it out. And the removal of redundant NULL setting (it is already taken care of near the top of the function).

2011-03-23cpufreq: Use syscore_ops for boot CPU suspend/resume (v2)Rafael J. Wysocki1-40/+26
The cpufreq subsystem uses sysdev suspend and resume for executing cpufreq_suspend() and cpufreq_resume(), respectively, during system suspend, after interrupts have been switched off on the boot CPU, and during system resume, while interrupts are still off on the boot CPU. In both cases the other CPUs are off-line at the relevant point (either they have been switched off via CPU hotplug during suspend, or they haven't been switched on yet during resume). For this reason, although it may seem that cpufreq_suspend() and cpufreq_resume() are executed for all CPUs in the system, they are only called for the boot CPU in fact, which is quite confusing. To remove the confusion and to prepare for elimiating sysdev suspend and resume operations from the kernel enirely, convernt cpufreq to using a struct syscore_ops object for the boot CPU suspend and resume and rename the callbacks so that their names reflect their purpose. In addition, put some explanatory remarks into their kerneldoc comments. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

2011-03-01[CPUFREQ] fix BUG on cpufreq policy init failureJiri Slaby1-12/+15
cpufreq_register_driver sets cpufreq_driver to a structure owned (and placed) in the caller's memory. If cpufreq policy fails in its ->init function, sysdev_driver_register returns nonzero in cpufreq_register_driver. Now, cpufreq_register_driver returns an error without setting cpufreq_driver back to NULL. Usually cpufreq policy modules are unloaded because they propagate the error to the module init function and return that. So a later access to any member of cpufreq_driver causes bugs like: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa00270a0 IP: [<ffffffff8145eca3>] cpufreq_cpu_get+0x53/0xe0 PGD 1805067 PUD 1809063 PMD 1c3f90067 PTE 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /sys/devices/virtual/net/tun0/statistics/collisions CPU 0 Modules linked in: ...

and fix the broken case if a core's frequency depends on others. trace_power_frequency was only implemented in a rather ungeneric way in acpi-cpufreq driver's target() function only. -> Move the call to trace_power_frequency to cpufreq.c:cpufreq_notify_transition() where CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier is triggered. This will support power frequency tracing by all cpufreq drivers trace_power_frequency did not trace frequency changes correctly when the userspace governor was used or when CPU cores' frequency depend on each other. -> Moving this into the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and pass the cpu which gets switched automatically fixes this.

2009-11-24[ACPI/CPUFREQ] Introduce bios_limit per cpu cpufreq sysfs interfaceThomas Renninger1-0/+21
This interface is mainly intended (and implemented) for ACPI _PPC BIOS frequency limitations, but other cpufreq drivers can also use it for similar use-cases. Why is this needed: Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited. People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have happened by: - any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq - thermal limitations - hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to: - Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits frequency - Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs. While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations. All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch: - powernow-k8 - powernow-k7 - acpi-cpufreq Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1) via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit: # echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq # cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 2600000 2600000 2200000 2200000 # #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations # cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit 2600000 2600000 2800000 2800000 # #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation CC: Pallipadi Venkatesh <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> CC: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> CC: davej@codemonkey.org.uk CC: linux@dominikbrodowski.net Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

2009-11-17[CPUFREQ] Fix stale cpufreq_cpu_governor pointerPrarit Bhargava1-2/+30
Dave, Attached is an update of my patch against the cpufreq fixes branch. Before applying the patch I compiled and booted the tree to see if the panic was still there -- to my surprise it was not. This is because of the conversion of cpufreq_cpu_governor to a char[]. While the panic is kaput, the problem of stale data continues and my patch is still valid. It is possible to end up with the wrong governor after hotplug events because CPUFREQ_DEFAULT_GOVERNOR is statically linked to a default, while the cpu siblings may have had a different governor assigned by a user. ie) the patch is still needed in order to keep the governors assigned properly when hotplugging devices Signed-off-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call (second call site) commit 42a06f2166f2f6f7bf04f32b4e823eacdceafdc9 Missed a call site for CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP to remove the rwlock taken around the teardown. To make a long story short, the rwlock write-lock causes a circular dependency with cancel_delayed_work_sync(), because the timer handler takes the read lock. Note that all callers to __cpufreq_set_policy are taking the rwsem. All sysfs callers (writers) hold the write rwsem at the earliest sysfs calling stage. However, the rwlock write-lock is not needed upon governor stop.

2009-09-01[CPUFREQ] Re-enable cpufreq suspend and resume codeDominik Brodowski1-88/+7
Commit 4bc5d3413503 is broken and causes regressions: (1) cpufreq_driver->resume() and ->suspend() were only called on __powerpc__, but you could set them on all architectures. In fact, ->resume() was defined and used before the PPC-related commit 42d4dc3f4e1e complained about in 4bc5d3413503. (2) Therfore, the resume functions in acpi_cpufreq and speedstep-smi would never be called. (3) This means speedstep-smi would be unusuable after suspend or resume. The _real_ problem was calling cpufreq_driver->get() with interrupts off, but it re-enabling interrupts on some platforms. Why is ->get() necessary? Some systems like to change the CPU frequency behind our back, especially during BIOS-intensive operations like suspend or resume. If such systems also use a CPU frequency-dependant timing loop, delays might be off by large factors. Therefore, we need to ascertain as soon as possible that the CPU frequency is indeed at the speed we think it is. You can do this two ways: either setting it anew, or trying to get it. The latter is what was done, the former also has the same IRQ issue. So, let's try something different: defer the checking to after interrupts are re-enabled, by calling cpufreq_update_policy() (via schedule_work()). Timings may be off until this later stage, so let's watch out for resume regressions caused by the deferred handling of frequency changes behind the kernel's back.

The rwlock seems to be taken around the whole call to cpufreq_governor_dbs(), when it should be only taken around accesses to the locked data, and especially *not* around the call to dbs_timer_exit(). Reverting my fix attempt would put the teardown race back in place (replacing the cancel_delayed_work_sync by cancel_delayed_work). Instead, a proper fix would imply modifying this critical section : cpufreq.c: __cpufreq_remove_dev() ... if (cpufreq_driver->target) __cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP); unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu); To make sure the __cpufreq_governor() callback is not called with rwsem held. This would allow execution of cancel_delayed_work_sync() without being nested within the rwsem. Applies on top of the 2.6.30-rc5 tree. Required to remove circular dep in teardown of both conservative and ondemande governors so they can use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP does not modify the policy, therefore this locking seemed unneeded.

This reverts commit e088e4c9cdb618675874becb91b2fd581ee707e6. Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a regression in bug 12826. Course of action: - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically. If it isn't, we need to fix that. - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated - try again with the removal in six months. It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_transition_latency It's not only useful for the ondemand and conservative governors, but also for userspace daemons to know about the HW transition latency of the CPU. It is especially useful for userspace to know about this value when the ondemand or conservative governors are run. The sampling rate control value depends on it and for userspace being able to set sane tuning values there it has to know about the transition latency.
