2015-01-06rcu: Make SRCU optional by using CONFIG_SRCUPranith Kumar1-0/+1
SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable. The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making use of SRCU are selected. If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all. text data bss dec hex filename 2007 0 0 2007 7d7 kernel/rcu/srcu.o Size of arch/powerpc/boot/zImage changes from text data bss dec hex filename 831552 64180 23944 919676 e087c arch/powerpc/boot/zImage : before 829504 64180 23952 917636 e0084 arch/powerpc/boot/zImage : after so the savings are about ~2000 bytes.

2014-11-18cpufreq: Kconfig: Remove architecture specific menu entriesViresh Kumar1-31/+19
CPUFreq driver's Kconfig entries are added in Kconfig.<arch> files and they are all included from the main Kconfig file using a menu entry. This creates another level of (unnecessary) hierarchy within the menuconfig entries. The problem occurs when there are drivers usable across architectures. Either their config entry is duplicated in all the supported architectures or is put into the main Kconfig entry. With the later one, we have menuconfig entries for drivers at two levels then. Fix these issues by getting rid of another level of menuconfig hierarchy and populate all drivers within the main cpufreq menu. To clearly distinguish where the drivers start from, also add a comment that will appear in menuconfig.

2014-11-06cpufreq: allow powersave governor as the default without expert modeJames Geboski1-1/+0
The intel_pstate driver only supports the performance and the powersave governors. With the performance governor ensuring the highest possible performance settings, userspace tools fail to make any lasting changes. In order to allow userspace tools to make modifications to the settings, the powersave governor must be in use. This makes having the powersave governor as the default convenient for systems where the intel_pstate driver is being employed. Having to enable expert mode in the kernel configuration is just a headache for such a trivial task. This patch applies to all kernel versions 2.6.38 or greater after the migration from CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT (6a108a14fa35). Most importantly, this applies to kernel versions 3.9 or greater when the intel_pstate driver was introduced.

The naming convention of this driver was always under the scanner, people complained that it should have a more generic name than cpu0, as it manages all CPUs that are sharing clock lines.

2014-06-16cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: fix CPU_THERMAL dependencyArnd Bergmann1-0/+2
5fbfbcd3e842d ("cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: remove dependency on THERMAL and REGULATOR") was a little too quick in completely removing the dependency on the THERMAL driver. The problem is that while there are inline wrappers to turn the thermal API calls into empty functions, those do not help if the cpu-thermal driver is a loadable module and cpufreq-cpu0 is builtin. Since CONFIG_CPU_THERMAL is a bool option that decides whether the cpu code is built into the thermal module or not, we have to use a dependency on the thermal driver itself. However, if CPU_THERMAL is disabled, we don't need the dependency, hence the strange '!CPU_THERMAL || THERMAL' construct.

2014-06-10cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: remove dependency on THERMAL and REGULATORViresh Kumar1-1/+1
cpufreq-cpu0 uses thermal framework to register a cooling device, but doesn't depend on it as there are dummy calls provided by thermal layer when CONFIG_THERMAL=n. And when these calls fail, the driver is still usable. Similar explanation is valid for regulators as well. We do have dummy calls available for regulator APIs and the driver can work even when those calls fail. So, we don't really need to mention thermal and regulators as a dependency for cpufreq-cpu0 in Kconfig as platforms without support for thermal/regulator can also use this driver. Remove this dependency. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui: "This time, the biggest change is the work of representing hardware thermal properties in device tree infrastructure. This work includes the introduction of a device tree bindings for describing the hardware thermal behavior and limits, and also a parser to read and interpret the data, and build thermal zones and thermal binding parameters. It also contains three examples on how to use the new representation on sensor devices, using three different drivers to accomplish it. One driver is in thermal subsystem, the TI SoC thermal, and the other two drivers are in hwmon subsystem. Actually, this would be the first step of the complete work because we still need to check other potential drivers to be converted and then validate the proposed API. But the reason why I include it in this pull request is that, first, this change does not hurt any others without using this approach, second, the principle and concept of this change would not break after converting the remaining drivers. BTW, as you can see, there are several points in this change that do not belong to thermal subsystem. Because it has been suggested by Guenter R that in such cases, it is recommended to send the complete series via one single subsystem. Specifics: - representing hardware thermal properties in device tree infrastructure - fix a regression that the imx thermal driver breaks system suspend. - introduce ACPI INT3403 thermal driver to retrieve temperature data from the INT3403 ACPI device object present on some systems. - introduce debug statement for thermal core and step_wise governor. - assorted fixes and cleanups for thermal core, cpu cooling, exynos thrmal, intel powerclamp and imx thermal driver" * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rzhang/linux: (34 commits) thermal: remove const flag from .ops of imx thermal Thermal: update thermal zone device after setting emul_temp intel_powerclamp: Fix cstate counter detection. thermal: imx: add necessary clk operation Thermal cpu cooling: return error if no valid cpu frequency entry thermal: fix cpu_cooling max_level behavior thermal: rcar-thermal: Enable driver compilation with COMPILE_TEST thermal: debug: add debug statement for core and step_wise thermal: imx_thermal: add module device table drivers: thermal: Mark function as static in x86_pkg_temp_thermal.c thermal:samsung: fix compilation warning thermal: imx: correct suspend/resume flow thermal: exynos: fix error return code Thermal: ACPI INT3403 thermal driver MAINTAINERS: add thermal bindings entry in thermal domain arm: dts: make OMAP4460 bandgap node to belong to OCP arm: dts: make OMAP443x bandgap node to belong to OCP arm: dts: add cooling properties on omap5 cpu node arm: dts: add omap5 thermal data arm: dts: add omap5 CORE thermal data ...

2013-12-04cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: add dt node parsing for cooling device propertiesEduardo Valentin1-1/+1
This patch changes the cpufreq-cpu0 driver to consider if a cpu needs cooling (with cpufreq). In case the cooling is needed, the cpu0 device tree node needs to be properly configured with cooling device properties. In case these properties are present,, the driver will load a cpufreq cooling device in the system. The cpufreq-cpu0 driver is not interested in determining how the system should be using the cooling device. The driver is responsible only of loading the cooling device. Describing how the cooling device will be used can be accomplished by setting up a thermal zone that references and is composed by the cpufreq cooling device. Cc: "Rafael J.

2013-02-02cpufreq: instantiate cpufreq-cpu0 as a platform_driverShawn Guo1-1/+1
As multiplatform build is being adopted by more and more ARM platforms, initcall function should be used very carefully. For example, when GENERIC_CPUFREQ_CPU0 is built in the kernel, cpu0_cpufreq_driver_init() will be called on all the platforms to initialize cpufreq-cpu0 driver. To eliminate this undesired the effect, the patch changes cpufreq-cpu0 driver to have it instantiated as a platform_driver. Then it will only run on platforms that create the platform_device "cpufreq-cpu0". Along with the change, it also changes cpu_dev to be &pdev->dev, so that managed functions can start working, and module build gets supported too. The highbank-cpufreq driver is also updated accordingly to adapt the changes on cpufreq-cpu0.

2013-01-03cpufreq / governor: Fix problem with cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservativeLarry Finger1-0/+5
Since commit 2aacdff entitled "cpufreq: Move common part from governors to separate file", whenever the drivers that depend on this new file (cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative) are built as modules, a new module named cpufreq_governor is created because the Makefile includes cpufreq_governor.o twice. As drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_governor.c contains no MODULE directives, the resulting module has no license specified, which results in logging of a "module license 'unspecified' taints kernel". In addition, a number of globals are exported GPL only, and are therefore not available. This fix establishes a new boolean configuration variable that forces cpufreq_governor.o to be linked into the kernel whenever either cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative is selected.

With dynamic debug having gained the capability to report debug messages also during the boot process, it offers a far superior interface for debug messages than the custom cpufreq infrastructure. As a first step, remove the old cpufreq_debug_printk() function and replace it with a call to the generic pr_debug() function. How can dynamic debug be used on cpufreq? You need a kernel which has CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled. To enabled debugging during runtime, mount debugfs and $ echo -n 'module cpufreq +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control for debugging the complete "cpufreq" module. To achieve the same goal during boot, append ddebug_query="module cpufreq +p" as a boot parameter to the kernel of your choice.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

Depending on the transition latency of the HW for cpufreq switches, the ondemand or conservative governor cannot be used with certain cpufreq drivers. Still the ondemand should be the default governor on a wide range of systems. This patch allows this and lets the governor fallback to the performance governor at cpufreq driver load time, if the driver does not support fast enough frequency switching. Main benefit is that on e.g. installation or other systems without userspace support a working dynamic cpufreq support can be achieved on most systems by simply loading the cpufreq driver. This is especially essential for recent x86(_64) laptop hardware which may rely on working dynamic cpufreq OS support.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
