| * [CPUFREQ] Avoid the ondemand cpufreq governor to use a too high frequency ↵Dave Jones2005-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for stats. The problem is in the ondemand governor, there is a periodic measurement of the CPU usage. This CPU usage is updated by the scheduler after every tick (basically, by adding 1 either to "idle" or to "user" or to "system"). So if the frequency of the governor is too high, the stat will be meaningless (as mostly no number have changed). So this patch checks that the measurements are separated by at least 10 ticks. It means that by default, stats will have about 5% error (20 ticks). Of course those numbers can be argued but, IMHO, they look sane. The patch also includes a small clean-up to check more explictly the result of the conversion from ns to µs being null. Let's note that (on x86) this has never been really needed before 2.6.13 because HZ was always 1000. Now that HZ can be 100, some CPU might be affected by this problem. For instance when HZ=100, the centrino ,which has a 10µs transition latency, would lead to the governor allowing to read stats every tick (10ms)!

* | [PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiersAshok Raj2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cpufreq entries in sysfs should only be populated when CPU is online state. When we either boot with maxcpus=x and then boot the other cpus by echoing to sysfs online file, these entries should be created and destroyed when CPU_DEAD is notified. Same treatement as cache entries under sysfs. We place the processor in the lowest frequency, so hw managed P-State transitions can still work on the other threads to save power. Primary goal was to just make these directories appear/disapper dynamically. There is one in this patch i had to do, which i really dont like myself but probably best if someone handling the cpufreq infrastructure could give this code right treatment if this is not acceptable. I guess its probably good for the first cut. - Converting lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() to disable/enable preempt. The locking was smack in the middle of the notification path, when the hotplug is already holding the lock. I tried another solution to avoid this so avoid taking locks if we know we are from notification path. The solution was getting very ugly and i decided this was probably good for this iteration until someone who understands cpufreq could do a better job than me.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [PATCH] [4/5] ondemand governor automatic downscaling Here is a change of policy for the ondemand governor. The modification concerns the frequency downscaling. Instead of decreasing to a lower frequency when the CPU usage is under 20%, this new policy automatically scales to the optimal frequency. The optimal frequency being the lowest frequency which provides enough power to not trigger the upscaling policy.

* [CPUFREQ] Conservative cpufreq governerDave Jones2005-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A new cpufreq module, based on the ondemand one with my additional patches just posted. This one is more suitable for battery environments where its probably more appealing to have the cpu freq gracefully increase and decrease rather than flip between the min and max freq's. N.B. Bruno Ducrot pointed out that the amd64's "do have unacceptable latency between min and max freq transition, due to the step-by-step requirements (200MHz IIRC)"; so AMD64 users would probably benefit from this too.

* [PATCH] cpufreq annoying warning fixBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cpufreq core patch I sent earlier got only half-applied. I added a flag to let the low level driver disable an annoying warning on suspend/resume that is normal on ppc, but the "resume" part of it wasn't applied. This just adds back that missing bit. The original patch also reworked the resume() function to avoid nesting too many if () statements along the way I did the suspend() one, but I didn't include that in the patch below.

* [PATCH] Add suspend method to cpufreq coreBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to properly fix some issues with cpufreq vs. sleep on PowerBooks, I had to add a suspend callback to the pmac_cpufreq driver. I must force a switch to full speed before sleep and I switch back to previous speed on resume. I also added a driver flag to disable the warnings in suspend/resume since it is expected in this case to have different speed (and I want it to fixup the jiffies properly).

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
