2016-03-22cpufreq: powernv: Define per_cpu chip pointer to optimize hot-pathMichael Neuling1-33/+17
Commit 96c4726f01cd "cpufreq: powernv: Remove cpu_to_chip_id() from hot-path" introduced a 'core_to_chip_map' array to cache the chip-ids of all cores. Replace this with a per-CPU variable that stores the pointer to the chip-array. This removes the linear lookup and provides a neater and simpler solution.

2016-03-20cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: Clean up hot plug notifier callbackRichard Cochran1-2/+4
This driver has two issues. First, it tries to fiddle with the hot plugged CPU's MSR on the UP_PREPARE event, at a time when the CPU is not yet online. Second, the driver sets the "boost-disable" bit for a CPU when going down, but does not clear the bit again if the CPU comes up again due to DOWN_FAILED. This patch fixes the issues by changing the driver to react to the ONLINE/DOWN_FAILED events instead of UP_PREPARE. As an added benefit, the driver also becomes symmetric with respect to the hot plug mechanism. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <rcochran@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2016-03-20intel_pstate: Do not call wrmsrl_on_cpu() with disabled interruptsRafael J. Wysocki1-30/+43
After commit a4675fbc4a7a (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with utilization update callbacks) wrmsrl_on_cpu() cannot be called in the intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() path as that is executed with disabled interrupts. However, atom_set_pstate() called from there via intel_pstate_set_pstate() uses wrmsrl_on_cpu() to update the IA32_PERF_CTL MSR which triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE() in smp_call_function_single(). The reason why wrmsrl_on_cpu() is used by atom_set_pstate() is because intel_pstate_set_pstate() calling it is also invoked during the initialization and cleanup of the driver and in those cases it is not guaranteed to be run on the CPU that is being updated. However, in the case when intel_pstate_set_pstate() is called by intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate(), wrmsrl() can be used to update the register safely. Moreover, intel_pstate_set_pstate() already contains code that only is executed if the function is called by intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() and there is a special argument passed to it because of that. To fix the problem at hand, rearrange the code taking the above observations into account. First, replace the ->set() callback in struct pstate_funcs with a ->get_val() one that will return the value to be written to the IA32_PERF_CTL MSR without updating the register. Second, split intel_pstate_set_pstate() into two functions, intel_pstate_update_pstate() to be called by intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() that will contain all of the intel_pstate_set_pstate() code which only needs to be executed in that case and will use wrmsrl() to update the MSR (after obtaining the value to write to it from the ->get_val() callback), and intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() to be invoked during the initialization and cleanup that will set the P-state to the minimum one and will update the MSR using wrmsrl_on_cpu(). Finally, move the code shared between intel_pstate_update_pstate() and intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() to a new static inline function intel_pstate_record_pstate() and make them both call it. Of course, that unifies the handling of the IA32_PERF_CTL MSR writes between Atom and Core.

If the current value of MPERF or the current value of TSC is the same as the previous one, respectively, intel_pstate_sample() bails out early and skips the sample. However, intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() is still called in that case which is not correct, so modify intel_pstate_sample() to return a bool value indicating whether or not the sample has been taken and use it to decide whether or not to call intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate().

2016-03-09Revert "cpufreq: postfix policy directory with the first CPU in related_cpus"Viresh Kumar1-11/+10
Revert commit 3510fac45492 (cpufreq: postfix policy directory with the first CPU in related_cpus). Earlier, the policy->kobj was added to the kobject core, before ->init() callback was called for the cpufreq drivers. Which allowed those drivers to add or remove, driver dependent, sysfs files/directories to the same kobj from their ->init() and ->exit() callbacks. That isn't possible anymore after commit 3510fac45492. Now, there is no other clean alternative that people can adopt. Its better to revert the earlier commit to allow cpufreq drivers to create/remove sysfs files from ->init() and ->exit() callbacks.

2016-03-09cpufreq: Reduce cpufreq_update_util() overhead a bitRafael J. Wysocki3-11/+20
Use the observation that cpufreq_update_util() is only called by the scheduler with rq->lock held, so the callers of cpufreq_set_update_util_data() can use synchronize_sched() instead of synchronize_rcu() to wait for cpufreq_update_util() to complete. Moreover, if they are updated to do that, rcu_read_(un)lock() calls in cpufreq_update_util() might be replaced with rcu_read_(un)lock_sched(), respectively, but those aren't really necessary, because the scheduler calls that function from RCU-sched read-side critical sections already. In addition to that, if cpufreq_set_update_util_data() checks the func field in the struct update_util_data before setting the per-CPU pointer to it, the data->func check may be dropped from cpufreq_update_util() as well. Make the above changes to reduce the overhead from cpufreq_update_util() in the scheduler paths invoking it and to make the cleanup after removing its callbacks less heavy-weight somewhat.

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Fix race in dbs_update_util_handler()Rafael J. Wysocki1-5/+16
There is a scenario that may lead to undesired results in dbs_update_util_handler(). Namely, if two CPUs sharing a policy enter the funtion at the same time, pass the sample delay check and then one of them is stalled until dbs_work_handler() (queued up by the other CPU) clears the work counter, it may update the work counter and queue up another work item prematurely. To prevent that from happening, use the observation that the CPU queuing up a work item in dbs_update_util_handler() updates the last sample time. This means that if another CPU was stalling after passing the sample delay check and now successfully updated the work counter as a result of the race described above, it will see the new value of the last sample time which is different from what it used in the sample delay check before. If that happens, the sample delay check passed previously is not valid any more, so the CPU should not continue.

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Narrow down the dbs_data_mutex coverageRafael J. Wysocki1-23/+23
Since cpufreq_governor_dbs() is now always called with policy->rwsem held, it cannot be executed twice in parallel for the same policy. Thus it is not necessary to hold dbs_data_mutex around the invocations of cpufreq_governor_start/stop/limits() from it as those functions never modify any data that can be shared between different policies. However, cpufreq_governor_dbs() may be executed twice in parallal for different policies using the same gov->gdbs_data object and dbs_data_mutex is still necessary to protect that object against concurrent updates. For this reason, narrow down the dbs_data_mutex locking to cpufreq_governor_init/exit() where it is needed and rename the mutex to gov_dbs_data_mutex to reflect its purpose. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Next, change that code to access the per-CPU data structures directly rather than via a governor callback. This causes the ->get_cpu_cdbs governor callback to become unnecessary, so drop it along with the macro and function definitions related to it.

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Make governor private data per-policyRafael J. Wysocki6-28/+87
Some fields in struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s are only used for a limited set of CPUs. Namely, if a policy is shared between multiple CPUs, those fields will only be used for one of them (policy->cpu). This means that they really are per-policy rather than per-CPU and holding room for them in per-CPU data structures is generally wasteful. Also moving those fields into per-policy data structures will allow some significant simplifications to be made going forward. For this reason, introduce struct cs_policy_dbs_info and struct od_policy_dbs_info to hold those fields. Define each of the new structures as an extension of struct policy_dbs_info (such that struct policy_dbs_info is embedded in each of them) and introduce new ->alloc and ->free governor callbacks to allocate and free those structures, respectively, such that ->alloc() will return a pointer to the struct policy_dbs_info embedded in the allocated data structure and ->free() will take that pointer as its argument. With that, modify the code accessing the data fields in question in per-CPU data objects to look for them in the new structures via the struct policy_dbs_info pointer available to it and drop them from struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s.

The ondemand_powersave_bias_init() function used for resetting data fields related to the powersave bias tunable of the ondemand governor works by walking all of the online CPUs in the system and updating the od_cpu_dbs_info_s structures for all of them. However, if governor tunables are per policy, the update should not touch the CPUs that are not associated with the given dbs_data. Moreover, since the data fields in question are only ever used for policy->cpu in each policy governed by ondemand, the update can be limited to those specific CPUs.

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Fix CPU load information updates via ->storeRafael J. Wysocki4-28/+40
The ->store() callbacks of some tunable sysfs attributes of the ondemand and conservative governors trigger immediate updates of the CPU load information for all CPUs "governed" by the given dbs_data by walking the cpu_dbs_info structures for all online CPUs in the system and updating them. This is questionable for two reasons. First, it may lead to a lot of extra overhead on a system with many CPUs if the given dbs_data is only associated with a few of them. Second, if governor tunables are per-policy, the CPUs associated with the other sets of governor tunables should not be updated. To address this issue, use the observation that in all of the places in question the update operation may be carried out in the same way (because all of the tunables involved are now located in struct dbs_data and readily available to the common code) and make the code in those places invoke the same (new) helper function that will carry out the update correctly. That new function always checks the ignore_nice_load tunable value and updates the CPUs' prev_cpu_nice data fields if that's set, which wasn't done by the original code in store_io_is_busy(), but it should have been done in there too.

It is possible for a dbs_data object to be updated after its usage counter has become 0. That may happen if governor_store() runs (via a govenor tunable sysfs attribute write) in parallel with cpufreq_governor_exit() called for the last cpufreq policy associated with the dbs_data in question. In that case, if governor_store() acquires dbs_data->mutex right after cpufreq_governor_exit() has released it, the ->store() callback invoked by it may operate on dbs_data with no users. Although sysfs will cause the kobject_put() in cpufreq_governor_exit() to block until governor_store() has returned, that situation may lead to some unexpected results, depending on the implementation of the ->store callback, and therefore it should be avoided. To that end, modify governor_store() to check the dbs_data's usage count before invoking the ->store() callback and return an error if it is 0 at that point. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Get rid of the ->gov_check_cpu callbackRafael J. Wysocki4-32/+27
The way the ->gov_check_cpu governor callback is used by the ondemand and conservative governors is not really straightforward. Namely, the governor calls dbs_check_cpu() that updates the load information for the policy and the invokes ->gov_check_cpu() for the governor. To get rid of that entanglement, notice that cpufreq_governor_limits() doesn't need to call dbs_check_cpu() directly. Instead, it can simply reset the sample delay to 0 which will cause a sample to be taken immediately. The result of that is practically equivalent to calling dbs_check_cpu() except that it will trigger a full update of governor internal state and not just the ->gov_check_cpu() part. Following that observation, make cpufreq_governor_limits() reset the sample delay and turn dbs_check_cpu() into a function that will simply evaluate the load and return the result called dbs_update(). That function can now be called by governors from the routines that previously were pointed to by ->gov_check_cpu and those routines can be called directly by each governor instead of dbs_check_cpu(). This way ->gov_check_cpu becomes unnecessary, so drop it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> Acked-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Fix nice contribution computation in dbs_check_cpu()Rafael J. Wysocki1-15/+3
The contribution of the CPU nice time to the idle time in dbs_check_cpu() is computed in a bogus way, as the code may subtract current and previous nice values for different CPUs. That doesn't matter for cases when cpufreq policies are not shared, but may lead to problems otherwise. Fix the computation and simplify it to avoid taking unnecessary steps. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: Avoid atomic operations in hot pathsRafael J. Wysocki2-16/+38
Rework the handling of work items by dbs_update_util_handler() and dbs_work_handler() so the former (which is executed in scheduler paths) only uses atomic operations when absolutely necessary. That is, when the policy is shared and dbs_update_util_handler() has already decided that this is the time to queue up a work item. In particular, this avoids the atomic ops entirely on platforms where policy objects are never shared. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

The atomic work counter incrementation in gov_cancel_work() is not necessary any more, because work items won't be queued up after gov_clear_update_util() anyway, so drop it along with the comment about how it may be missed by the gov_clear_update_util().

As it turns out, irq_work_queue_on() will crash if invoked on non-SMP ARM platforms, but in fact it is not necessary to use that function in the cpufreq governor code (as it doesn't matter to that code which CPU will handle the irq_work), so change it to always use irq_work_queue().

2016-03-09cpufreq: conservative: Update sample_delay_ns immediatelyViresh Kumar4-83/+65
The ondemand governor already updates sample_delay_ns immediately on updates to the sampling rate, but conservative doesn't do that. It was left out earlier as the code was really too complex to get that done easily. Things are sorted out very well now, however, and the conservative governor can be modified to follow ondemand in that respect. Moreover, since the code needed to implement that in the conservative governor would be identical to the corresponding ondemand governor's code, make that code common and change both governors to use it.

2016-03-09cpufreq: governor: No need to manage state machine nowViresh Kumar1-22/+5
The cpufreq core now guarantees that policy->rwsem won't be dropped while running the ->governor callback for the CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT event and will be held acquired until the complete sequence of governor state changes has finished. This allows governor state machine checks to be dropped from multiple functions in cpufreq_governor.c. This also means that policy_dbs->policy can be initialized upfront, so the entire initialization of struct policy_dbs can be carried out in one place.

2016-03-09cpufreq: Remove cpufreq_governor_lockViresh Kumar2-9/+0
We used to drop policy->rwsem just before calling __cpufreq_governor() in some cases earlier and so it was possible that __cpufreq_governor() ran concurrently via separate threads for the same policy. In order to guarantee valid state transitions for governors, 'governor_enabled' was required to be protected using some locking and cpufreq_governor_lock was added for that. But now __cpufreq_governor() is always called under policy->rwsem, and 'governor_enabled' is protected against races even without cpufreq_governor_lock. Get rid of the extra lock now.

2016-03-09cpufreq: Call __cpufreq_governor() with policy->rwsem heldViresh Kumar1-16/+33
The cpufreq core code is not consistent with respect to invoking __cpufreq_governor() under policy->rwsem. Changing all code to always hold policy->rwsem around __cpufreq_governor() invocations will allow us to remove cpufreq_governor_lock that is used today because we can't guarantee that __cpufreq_governor() isn't executed twice in parallel for the same policy. We should also ensure that policy->rwsem is held across governor state changes. For example, while adding a CPU to the policy in the CPU online path, we need to stop the governor, change policy->cpus, start the governor and then refresh its limits. The complete sequence must be guaranteed to complete without interruptions by concurrent governor state updates. That can be achieved by holding policy->rwsem around those sequences of operations. Also note that after this patch cpufreq_driver->stop_cpu() and ->exit() will get called under policy->rwsem which wasn't the case earlier. That shouldn't have any side effects, though.

2016-03-09cpufreq: Merge cpufreq_offline_prepare/finish routinesViresh Kumar1-26/+10
Commit 1aee40ac9c86 (cpufreq: Invoke __cpufreq_remove_dev_finish() after releasing cpu_hotplug.lock) split the cpufreq's CPU offline routine in two pieces, one of them to be run with CPU offline/online locked and the other to be called later. The reason for that split was a possible deadlock scenario involving cpufreq sysfs attributes and CPU offline. However, the handling of CPU offline in cpufreq has changed since then. Policy sysfs attributes are never removed during CPU offline, so there's no need to worry about accessing them during CPU offline, because that can't lead to any deadlocks now. Governor sysfs attributes are still removed in __cpufreq_governor(_EXIT), but there is a new kobject type for them now and its show/store callbacks don't lock CPU offline/online (they don't need to do that). This means that the CPU offline code in cpufreq doesn't need to be split any more, so combine cpufreq_offline_prepare() with cpufreq_offline_finish().
