* cpufreq: conservative: fix requested_freq reduction issueXiaoguang Chen2013-11-071-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When decreasing frequency, requested_freq may be less than freq_target, So requested_freq minus freq_target may be negative, But reqested_freq's unit is unsigned int, then the negative result will be one larger interger which may be even higher than requested_freq. This patch is to fix such issue. when result becomes negative, set requested_freq as the min value of policy.

* cpufreq: governors: Remove duplicate check of target freq in supported rangeStratos Karafotis2013-08-281-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | Function __cpufreq_driver_target() checks if target_freq is within policy->min and policy->max range. generic_powersave_bias_target() also checks if target_freq is valid via a cpufreq_frequency_table_target() call. So, drop the unnecessary duplicate check in *_check_cpu(). Signed-off-by: Stratos Karafotis <stratosk@semaphore.gr> Acked-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| * cpufreq: Use sizeof(*ptr) convetion for computing sizesViresh Kumar2013-08-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Chapter 14 of Documentation/CodingStyle says: The preferred form for passing a size of a struct is the following: p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...); The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts readability and introduces an opportunity for a bug when the pointer variable type is changed but the corresponding sizeof that is passed to a memory allocator is not. This wasn't followed consistently in drivers/cpufreq, let's make it more consistent by always following this rule. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* cpufreq: governors: Calculate iowait time only when necessaryStratos Karafotis2013-04-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we always calculate the CPU iowait time and add it to idle time. If we are in ondemand and we use io_is_busy, we re-calculate iowait time and we subtract it from idle time. With this patch iowait time is calculated only when necessary avoiding the double call to get_cpu_iowait_time_us. We use a parameter in function get_cpu_idle_time to distinguish when the iowait time will be added to idle time or not, without the need of keeping the prev_io_wait.

* cpufreq: governors: Avoid unnecessary per cpu timer interruptsViresh Kumar2013-04-011-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following patch has introduced per cpu timers or works for ondemand and conservative governors. commit 2abfa876f1117b0ab45f191fb1f82c41b1cbc8fe Author: Rickard Andersson <rickard.andersson@stericsson.com> Date: Thu Dec 27 14:55:38 2012 +0000 cpufreq: handle SW coordinated CPUs This causes additional unnecessary interrupts on all cpus when the load is recently evaluated by any other cpu. i.e. When load is recently evaluated by cpu x, we don't really need any other cpu to evaluate this load again for the next sampling_rate time. Some sort of code is present to avoid that but we are still getting timer interrupts for all cpus. A good way of avoiding this would be to modify delays for all cpus (policy->cpus) whenever any cpu has evaluated load. This patch does this change and some related code cleanup.

* cpufreq: governor: Implement per policy instances of governorsViresh Kumar2013-04-011-75/+118
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, there can't be multiple instances of single governor_type. If we have a multi-package system, where we have multiple instances of struct policy (per package), we can't have multiple instances of same governor. i.e. We can't have multiple instances of ondemand governor for multiple packages. Governors directory in sysfs is created at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ governor-name/. Which again reflects that there can be only one instance of a governor_type in the system. This is a bottleneck for multicluster system, where we want different packages to use same governor type, but with different tunables. This patch uses the infrastructure provided by earlier patch and implements init/exit routines for ondemand and conservative governors.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug that occurred when we had load on a secondary CPU and the primary CPU was sleeping. Only one sampling timer was spawned and it was spawned as a deferred timer on the primary CPU, so when a secondary CPU had a change in load this was not detected by the cpufreq governor (both ondemand and conservative).

* cpufreq: governors: remove redundant codeViresh Kumar2012-11-151-389/+159
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Initially ondemand governor was written and then using its code conservative governor is written. It used a lot of code from ondemand governor, but copy of code was created instead of using the same routines from both governors. Which increased code redundancy, which is difficult to manage. This patch is an attempt to move common part of both the governors to cpufreq_governor.c file to come over above mentioned issues. This shouldn't change anything from functionality point of view.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | update_ts_time_stat currently updates idle time even if we are in iowait loop at the moment. The only real users of the idle counter (via get_cpu_idle_time_us) are CPU governors and they expect to get cumulative time for both idle and iowait times. The value (idle_sleeptime) is also printed to userspace by print_cpu but it prints both idle and iowait times so the idle part is misleading. Let's clean this up and fix update_ts_time_stat to account both counters properly and update consumers of idle to consider iowait time as well. If we do this we might use get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us from other contexts as well and we will get expected values.

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Redesign the locking inside conservative driver. Make dbs_mutex handle all the global state changes inside the driver and invent a new percpu mutex to serialize percpu timer and frequency limit change.

| * [CPUFREQ] Eliminate the recent lockdep warnings in cpufreqvenkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com2009-07-061-16/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b14893a62c73af0eca414cfed505b8c09efc613c although it was very much needed to properly cleanup ondemand timer, opened-up a can of worms related to locking dependencies in cpufreq. Patch here defines the need for dbs_mutex and cleans up its usage in ondemand governor. This also resolves the lockdep warnings reported here http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0906.1/01925.html http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0907.0/00820.html and few others..

* [CPUFREQ] ondemand: Uncouple minimal sampling rate from HZ in NO_HZ caseThomas Renninger2009-06-151-26/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch you have following minimal sampling rate restrictions: Kernel restrictions: If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, the limit is 10ms fixed. If CONFIG_NO_HZ is not set or no_hz=off boot parameter is used, the limits depend on the CONFIG_HZ option: HZ=1000: min=20000us (20ms) HZ=250: min=80000us (80ms) HZ=100: min=200000us (200ms) HW restrictions: Do not sample/poll more often than HW latency * 100 exported by the low level cpufreq HW driver The higher value of above restrictions is the minimal sampling rate that can be set (and can be seen via ondemand/sampling_rate_min sysfs file) Default sampling rate still is HW latency * 1000, but this will now end up in lower values on latest (Intel and AMD) hardware as these can switch really fast and sampling rate mostly was limited to the 80ms or 200ms (depending on whether HZ=250 or HZ=1000 is used).

The ondemand governor does not seem to be affected because the "if (!dbs_info->enable)" check at the beginning of the workqueue handler returns immediately without rescheduling the work. The conservative governor in 2.6.30-rc has the same check as the ondemand governor, which makes things usually run smoothly. However, if the governor is quickly stopped and then started, this could lead to the following race : dbs_enable could be reenabled and multiple do_dbs_timer handlers would run. This is why a synchronized teardown is required. Depends on patch cpufreq: remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call The following patch applies to 2.6.30-rc2. Stable kernels have a similar issue which should also be fixed, but the code changed between 2.6.29 and 2.6.30, so this patch only applies to 2.6.30-rc.

| | | | | | | | | | AMD users get particular hit by this issue (bug 8081) as it caps at typically 90 seconds as the minimum period for a frequency change. Harsh eh? Years ago I borked this buy puting the 10x in the wrong place...I fix that by removing it altogether.
