* [CPUFREQ] fix BUG on cpufreq policy init failureJiri Slaby2011-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: ...

* kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERTDavid Rientjes2011-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

* [CPUFREQ] add sampling_down_factor tunable to improve ondemand performanceDavid C Niemi2010-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds a new global tunable, sampling_down_factor. Set to 1 it makes no changes from existing behavior, but 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. This patch is against 2.6.36-rc6. This patch should help solve kernel bug 19672 "ondemand is slow".

* [CPUFREQ] x86 cpufreq: Make trace_power_frequency cpufreq driver independentThomas Renninger2010-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Robert Schoene provided some important fixes on top of my initial quick shot version which are integrated in this patch: - Forgot some changes in power_end trace (TP_printk/variable names) - Variable dummy in power_end must now be cpu_id - Use static 64 bit variable instead of unsigned int for cpu_id Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> CC: davej@redhat.com CC: arjan@infradead.org CC: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org CC: robert.schoene@tu-dresden.de Tested-by: robert.schoene@tu-dresden.de Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

* | | ondemand: Solve a big performance issue by counting IOWAIT time as busyArjan van de Ven2010-05-09
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ondemand cpufreq governor uses CPU busy time (e.g. not-idle time) as a measure for scaling the CPU frequency up or down. If the CPU is busy, the CPU frequency scales up, if it's idle, the CPU frequency scales down. Effectively, it uses the CPU busy time as proxy variable for the more nebulous "how critical is performance right now" question. This algorithm falls flat on its face in the light of workloads where you're alternatingly disk and CPU bound, such as the ever popular "git grep", but also things like startup of programs and maildir using email clients... much to the chagarin of Andrew Morton. This patch changes the ondemand algorithm to count iowait time as busy, not idle, time. As shown in the breakdown cases above, iowait is performance critical often, and by counting iowait, the proxy variable becomes a more accurate representation of the "how critical is performance" question. The problem and fix are both verified with the "perf timechar" tool.

* / include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-30
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* | [ACPI/CPUFREQ] Introduce bios_limit per cpu cpufreq sysfs interfaceThomas Renninger2009-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

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>

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ondemand has only global variables for userspace tunings via sysfs. But they were exposed per CPU which wrongly implies to the user that his settings are applied per cpu. Also locking sysfs against concurrent access won't be necessary anymore after deprecation time. This means the ondemand config dir is moved: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/ondemand -> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand The old files will still exist, but reading or writing to them will result in one (printk_once) deprecation msg to syslog per file.

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 output continues on every do_dbs_timer ondemand freq checking poll. This regression was introduced by git commit: 3f4a782b5ce2698b1870b5a7b573cd721d4fce33 The policy is released when the cpufreq device is removed in: __cpufreq_remove_dev(): /* if this isn't the CPU which is the parent of the kobj, we * only need to unlink, put and exit */ Not creating the symlink is not sever at all. As long as: sysfs_remove_link(&sys_dev->kobj, "cpufreq"); handles it gracefully that the symlink did not exist. Possibly no error should be returned at all, because ondemand governor would still provide the same functionality. Userspace in userspace gov case might be confused if the link is missing.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Suspend/Resume fails on multi socket, multi core systems because the cpufreq code erroneously sets the per_cpu policy_cpu value when a logical cpu is offline. This most notably results in missing sysfs files that are used to set the cpu frequencies of the various cpus.

* | [CPUFREQ] Fix NULL pointer dereference regression in conservative governorPallipadi, Venkatesh2009-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit ee88415caf736b89500f16e0a545614541a45005 introduced this regression when it removed enable bit in cpu_dbs_info_s. That added a possibility of dbs_cpufreq_notifier getting called for a CPU that is not yet managed by conservative governor. That will happen as the transition notifier is set as soon as one CPU switches to conservative governor and other CPUs can get a NULL pointer dereference without the enable bit check. Add the enable bit back again.
