* | [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau2007-02-14
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

* | [CPUFREQ][8/8] acpi-cpufreq: Add support for freq feedback from hardwareVenkatesh Pallipadi2006-10-15
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable ondemand governor and acpi-cpufreq to use IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSR to get active frequency feedback for the last sampling interval. This will make ondemand take right frequency decisions when hardware coordination of frequency is going on. Without APERF/MPERF, ondemand can take wrong decision at times due to underlying hardware coordination or TM2. Example: * CPU 0 and CPU 1 are hardware cooridnated. * CPU 1 running at highest frequency. * CPU 0 was running at highest freq. Now ondemand reduces it to some intermediate frequency based on utilization. * Due to underlying hardware coordination with other CPU 1, CPU 0 continues to run at highest frequency (as long as other CPU is at highest). * When ondemand samples CPU 0 again next time, without actual frequency feedback from APERF/MPERF, it will think that previous frequency change was successful and can go to wrong target frequency. This is because it thinks that utilization it has got this sampling interval is when running at intermediate frequency, rather than actual highest frequency.

* [PATCH] cpufreq: make the transition_notifier chain use SRCUAlan Stern2006-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as762) changes the cpufreq_transition_notifier_list from a blocking_notifier_head to an srcu_notifier_head. This will prevent errors caused attempting to call down_read() to access the notifier chain at a time when interrupts must remain disabled, during system suspend. It's not clear to me whether this is really necessary; perhaps the chain could be made into an atomic_notifier. However a couple of the callout routines do use blocking operations, so this approach seems safer. The head of the notifier chain needs to be initialized before use; this is done by an __init routine at core_initcall time. If this turns out not to be a good choice, it can easily be changed.

* [CPUFREQ][2/2] ondemand: updated add powersave_bias tunableAlexey Starikovskiy2006-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ondemand selects the minimum frequency that can retire a workload with negligible idle time -- ideally resulting in the highest performance/power efficiency with negligible performance impact. But on some systems and some workloads, this algorithm is more performance biased than necessary, and de-tuning it a bit to allow some performance impact can save measurable power. This patch adds a "powersave_bias" tunable to ondemand to allow it to reduce its target frequency by a specified percent. By default, the powersave_bias is 0 and has no effect. powersave_bias is in units of 0.1%, so it has an effective range of 1 through 1000, resulting in 0.1% to 100% impact. In practice, users will not be able to detect a difference between 0.1% increments, but 1.0% increments turned out to be too large. Also, the max value of 1000 (100%) would simply peg the system in its deepest power saving P-state, unless the processor really has a hardware P-state at 0Hz:-) For example, If ondemand requests 2.0GHz based on utilization, and powersave_bias=100, this code will knock 10% off the target and seek a target of 1.8GHz instead of 2.0GHz until the next sampling. If 1.8 is an exact match with an hardware frequency we use it, otherwise we average our time between the frequency next higher than 1.8 and next lower than 1.8. Note that a user or administrative program can change powersave_bias at run-time depending on how they expect the system to be used.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I just stumbled on this bug/feature, this is how to reproduce it: # echo 450000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq # echo 450000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq # echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor # cpufreq-info -p 450000 450000 powersave # echo 1800000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq ; echo $? 0 # cpufreq-info -p 450000 450000 powersave Here it is. The kernel refuses to set a min_freq higher than the max_freq but it allows a max_freq lower than min_freq (lowering min_freq also). This behaviour is pretty straightforward (but undocumented) and it doesn't return an error altough failing to accomplish the requested action (set min_freq). The problem (IMO) is basically that userspace is not allowed to set a full policy atomically while the kernel always does that thus it must enforce an ordering on operations. The attached patch returns -EINVAL if trying to increase frequencies starting from scaling_min_freq and documents the correct ordering of writes.

* [PATCH] Reorganize the cpufreq cpu hotplug locking to not be totally bizareArjan van de Ven2006-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch below moves the cpu hotplugging higher up in the cpufreq layering; this is needed to avoid recursive taking of the cpu hotplug lock and to otherwise detangle the mess. The new rules are: 1. you must do lock_cpu_hotplug() around the following functions: __cpufreq_driver_target __cpufreq_governor (for CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS operation only) __cpufreq_set_policy 2. governer methods (.governer) must NOT take the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock in any way; they are called with the lock taken already 3. if your governer spawns a thread that does things, like calling __cpufreq_driver_target, your thread must honor rule #1. 4. the policy lock and other cpufreq internal locks nest within the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock. I'm not entirely happy about how the __cpufreq_governor rule ended up (conditional locking rule depending on the argument) but basically all callers pass this as a constant so it's not too horrible. The patch also removes the cpufreq_governor() function since during the locking audit it turned out to be entirely unused (so no need to fix it) The patch works on my testbox, but it could use more testing (otoh... it can't be much worse than the current code) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [cpufreq] ondemand: make shutdown sequence more robustLinus Torvalds2006-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | Shutting down the ondemand policy was fraught with potential problems, causing issues for SMP suspend (which wants to hot- unplug) all but the last CPU. This should fix at least the worst problems (divide-by-zero and infinite wait for the workqueue to shut down). Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CPUs come online only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined). So, cpu_notifier functionality need to be available only at init time. This patch makes register_cpu_notifier() available only at init time, unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined.

* [PATCH] cpu hotplug: revert init patch submitted for 2.6.17Chandra Seetharaman2006-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS. I provided a band-aid solution to solve that problem. In the process, i undid all the changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined). We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18. Here is a set of patches that fixes the XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined). If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run time.
