* [PATCH] clean up lock_cpu_hotplug() in cpufreqAshok Raj2005-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest function calls lock_cpu_hotplug(). The lock is already held during cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to registered clients. Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup. Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in all places. - Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static. - removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug() so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock. - Removed current_in_hotplug() uses - Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug() temporary workaround. Tested with insmod of cpufreq_stat.ko, and logical online/offline to make sure we dont have any hang situations.

* [PATCH] cpu hotplug: fix locking in cpufreq driversAshok Raj2005-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When calling target drivers to set frequency, we take cpucontrol lock. When we modified the code to accomodate CPU hotplug, there was an attempt to take a double lock of cpucontrol leading to a deadlock. Since the current thread context is already holding the cpucontrol lock, we dont need to make another attempt to acquire it. Now we leave a trace in current->flags indicating current thread already is under cpucontrol lock held, so we dont attempt to do this another time. Thanks to Andrew Morton for the beating:-) From: Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@ens-lyon.org> Build fix (akpm: this patch is still unpleasant.

| * [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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

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!
