cpufreq: Kconfig: fix documentation links

2021-04-21T17:00:42Z

User documentation for cpufreq governors and drivers has been moved to admin-guide; adjust references from Kconfig entries accordingly. Remove references from undocumented cpufreq drivers, as well as the 'userspace' cpufreq governor, for which no additional details are provided in the admin-guide text.

cpufreq: Avoid configuring old governors as default with intel_pstate

2020-10-27T17:45:34Z

Commit 33aa46f252c7 ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use passive mode by default without HWP") was meant to cause intel_pstate to be used in the passive mode with the schedutil governor on top of it, but it missed the case in which either "ondemand" or "conservative" was selected as the default governor in the existing kernel config, in which case the previous old governor configuration would be used, causing the default legacy governor to be used on top of intel_pstate instead of schedutil. Address this by preventing "ondemand" and "conservative" from being configured as the default cpufreq governor in the case when schedutil is the default choice for the default governor setting. [Note that the default cpufreq governor can still be set via the kernel command line if need be and that choice is not limited, so if anyone really wants to use one of the legacy governors by default, it can be achieved this way.] Fixes: 33aa46f252c7 ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use passive mode by default without HWP") Reported-by: Julia Lawall Cc: 5.8+ # 5.8+ Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

cpufreq: make schedutil the default for arm and arm64

2020-07-30T06:10:29Z

schedutil is already a hard-requirement for EAS, which has lead to making it default on arm (when CONFIG_BIG_LITTLE), see: commit 8fdcca8e254a ("cpufreq: Select schedutil when using big.LITTLE") One thing worth pointing out is that schedutil isn't only relevant for asymmetric CPU capacity systems; for instance, schedutil is the only governor that honours util-clamp performance requests. Another good example of this is x86 switching to using it by default in: commit a00ec3874e7d ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Select schedutil as the default governor") Arguably it should be made the default for all architectures, but it seems better to wait for them to also gain frequency invariance powers. Make it the default for arm && arm64 for now. Signed-off-by: Valentin Schneider Signed-off-by: Ionela Voinescu Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Will Deacon Cc: Russell King Cc: Rafael J.

cpufreq: qoriq: Add platform dependencies

2020-05-08T05:23:10Z

The Freescale QorIQ clock controller is only present on Freescale E500MC and Layerscape SoCs. Add platform dependencies to the QORIQ_CPUFREQ config symbol, to avoid asking the user about it when configuring a kernel without E500MC or Layerscape support.

cpufreq: Select schedutil when using big.LITTLE

2020-04-03T09:20:06Z

When we are using a system with big.LITTLE HMP configuration, we need to use EAS to schedule the system. As can be seen from kernel/sched/topology.c: "EAS can be used on a root domain if it meets all the following conditions: 1. an Energy Model (EM) is available; 2. the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag is set in the sched_domain hierarchy. 3. no SMT is detected. 4. the EM complexity is low enough to keep scheduling overheads low; 5. schedutil is driving the frequency of all CPUs of the rd;" This means that at the very least, schedutil needs to be available as a scheduling policy for EAS to work on these systems. Make this explicit by defaulting to the schedutil governor if BIG_LITTLE is selected. Currently users of the TC2 board (like me) has to figure these dependencies out themselves and it is not helpful.

cpufreq: intel_pstate: Select schedutil as the default governor

2020-03-26T19:32:49Z

Modify cpufreq Kconfig to select schedutil as the default governor if the intel_pstate driver has been selected and SMP support is enabled (because schedutil depends on SMP). Also select schedutil as well as the performance governor from the intel_pstate Kconfig section to ensure the equivalence of the passive and active mode governor configuration options.

cpufreq: boost: Remove CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_BOOST_SW Kconfig option

2019-04-10T08:00:50Z

Commit 2fb4719b2560 ("cpufreq / boost: Kconfig: Support for software-managed BOOST") added the CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_BOOST_SW config. However EXYNOS based cpufreq drivers have been removed because of switching to cpufreq-dt driver which will set boost-attr if required. So, let's remove this option and update cpufreq_generic_attr[].

thermal: cpu_cooling: Require thermal core to be compiled in

2019-01-29T10:46:31Z

The CPU cooling driver (cpu_cooling.c) allows the platform's cpufreq driver to register as a cooling device and cool down the platform by throttling the CPU frequency. In order to be able to auto-register a cpufreq driver as a cooling device from the cpufreq core, we need access to code inside cpu_cooling.c which, in turn, accesses code inside thermal core. CPU_FREQ is a bool while THERMAL is tristate. In some configurations (e.g. allmodconfig), CONFIG_THERMAL ends up as a module while CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is compiled in. This leads to following error: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.o: In function `cpufreq_offline': cpufreq.c:(.text+0x407c): undefined reference to `cpufreq_cooling_unregister' drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.o: In function `cpufreq_online': cpufreq.c:(.text+0x70c0): undefined reference to `of_cpufreq_cooling_register' Given that platforms using CPU_THERMAL usually want it compiled-in so it is available early in boot, make CPU_THERMAL depend on THERMAL being compiled-in instead of allowing it to be a module. As a result of this change, get rid of the ugly (!CPU_THERMAL || THERMAL) dependency in all cpufreq drivers using CPU_THERMAL. Suggested-by: Rafael J.
