2009-09-01[CPUFREQ] remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call (second call site)Mathieu Desnoyers
remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call (second call site) commit 42a06f2166f2f6f7bf04f32b4e823eacdceafdc9 Missed a call site for CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP to remove the rwlock taken around the teardown. 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.

2009-09-01[CPUFREQ] ondemand - Use global sysfs dir for tuning settingsThomas Renninger
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.

2009-09-01[CPUFREQ] Introduce global, not per core: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreqThomas Renninger
Currently everything in the cpufreq layer is per core based. This does not reflect reality, for example ondemand on conservative governors have global sysfs variables. Introduce a global cpufreq directory and add the kobject to the governor struct, so that governors can easily access it. The directory is initialized in the cpufreq_core_init initcall and thus will always be created if cpufreq is compiled in, even if no cpufreq driver is active later.

2009-09-01[CPUFREQ] Re-enable cpufreq suspend and resume codeDominik Brodowski
Commit 4bc5d3413503 is broken and causes regressions: (1) cpufreq_driver->resume() and ->suspend() were only called on __powerpc__, but you could set them on all architectures. 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.

2009-08-04[CPUFREQ] Make cpufreq suspend code conditional on powerpc.Dave Jones
The suspend code runs with interrupts disabled, and the powerpc workaround we do in the cpufreq suspend hook calls the drivers ->get method. powernow-k8's ->get does an smp_call_function_single which needs interrupts enabled cpufreq's suspend/resume code was added in 42d4dc3f4e1e to work around a hardware problem on ppc powerbooks.

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.

2009-08-04[CPUFREQ] Fix NULL pointer dereference regression in conservative governorPallipadi, Venkatesh
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.

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 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.

The rwlock seems to be taken around the whole call to cpufreq_governor_dbs(), when it should be only taken around accesses to the locked data, and especially *not* around the call to dbs_timer_exit(). Reverting my fix attempt would put the teardown race back in place (replacing the cancel_delayed_work_sync by cancel_delayed_work). Instead, a proper fix would imply modifying this critical section : cpufreq.c: __cpufreq_remove_dev() ... if (cpufreq_driver->target) __cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP); unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu); To make sure the __cpufreq_governor() callback is not called with rwsem held. This would allow execution of cancel_delayed_work_sync() without being nested within the rwsem. Applies on top of the 2.6.30-rc5 tree. Required to remove circular dep in teardown of both conservative and ondemande governors so they can use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP does not modify the policy, therefore this locking seemed unneeded.

2009-03-09Revert "[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod."Dave Jones
This reverts commit e088e4c9cdb618675874becb91b2fd581ee707e6. Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a regression in bug 12826. Course of action: - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically. If it isn't, we need to fix that. - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated - try again with the removal in six months. It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

The sampling rate control value depends on it and for userspace being able to set sane tuning values there it has to know about the transition latency.

2008-12-05[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod.Matthew Garrett
p4-clockmod has a long history of abuse. It pretends to be a CPU frequency scaling driver, even though it doesn't actually change the CPU frequency, but instead just modulates the frequency with wait-states. The biggest misconception is that when running at the lower 'frequency' p4-clockmod is saving power. This isn't the case, as workloads running slower take longer to complete, preventing the CPU from entering deep C states. However p4-clockmod does have a purpose. It can prevent overheating. Having it hooked up to the cpufreq interfaces is the wrong way to achieve cooling however. It should instead be hooked up to ACPI. This diff introduces a means for a cpufreq driver to register with the cpufreq core, but not present a sysfs interface.
