While examining output from trial builds with -Wformat-security enabled,
many strings were found that should be defined as "const", or as a char
array instead of char pointer. This makes some static analysis easier,
by producing fewer false positives.
As these are all trivial changes, it seemed best to put them all in a
single patch rather than chopping them up per maintainer.

When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to
prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image. Whilst this
includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent
access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a
device to access or modify the kernel image.
To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware
configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they
specify. The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can
skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down.
The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the
default values for those parameters is.
Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some
drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and
some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition
to manually coded parameters.
This patch annotates drivers in drivers/cpufreq/.

Add a new cpufreq driver for Tegra186 (and likely later).
The CPUs are organized into two clusters, Denver and A57,
with two and four cores respectively. CPU frequency can be
adjusted by writing the desired rate divisor and a voltage
hint to a special per-core register.
The frequency of each core can be set individually; however,
this is just a hint as all CPUs in a cluster will run at
the maximum rate of non-idle CPUs in the cluster.

If the cpufreq driver tries to modify voltage/freq during suspend/resume
it might need to control an external PMIC via I2C or SPI but those
devices might be already suspended. This issue is likely to happen
whenever the LDOs have their vin-supply set.
To avoid this scenario we just increase cpufreq to the maximum before
suspend.

If there are any errors in getting the cpu0 regulators, the driver returns
-ENOENT. In case the regulators are not yet available, the devm_regulator_get
calls will return -EPROBE_DEFER, so that the driver can be probed later.
If we return -ENOENT, the driver will fail its initialization and will
not try to probe again (when the regulators become available).
Return the actual error received from regulator_get in probe. Print a
differentiated message in case we need to probe the device later and
in case we actually failed. Also add a message to inform when the
driver has been successfully registered.

policy parameter (to be set by the scaling driver).
That will allow scaling drivers to make schedutil use smaller default

setting the affinity of the calling user space thread to the requested CPU

That's racy vs. CPU hotplug and concurrent affinity settings for that

There is a report that after commit 27622b061eb4 ("cpufreq: Convert
to hotplug state machine"), the normal CPU offline/online cycle
fails on some platforms.
According to the ftrace result, this problem was triggered on
platforms using acpi-cpufreq as the default cpufreq driver,
and due to the lack of some ACPI freq method (eg. _PCT),
cpufreq_online() failed and returned a negative value, so the CPU
hotplug state machine rolled back the CPU online process. Actually,
from the user's perspective, the failure of cpufreq_online() should
not prevent that CPU from being brought up, although cpufreq might
not work on that CPU.
BTW, during system startup cpufreq_online() is not invoked via CPU
online but by the cpufreq device creation process, so the APs can be
brought up even though cpufreq_online() fails in that stage.
This patch ignores the return value of cpufreq_online/offline() and
lets the cpufreq framework deal with the failure. cpufreq_online()
itself will do a proper rollback in that case and if _PCT is missing,
the ACPI cpufreq driver will print a warning if the corresponding
debug options have been enabled.

It is pure mystery to me why we need to be on a specific CPU while
looking up a value in an array.
My best shot at this is that before commit d4019f0a92ab ("cpufreq: move
freq change notifications to cpufreq core") it was required to invoke
cpufreq_notify_transition() on a special CPU.
Since it looks like a waste, remove it.

Some computations in intel_pstate_get_min_max() are not necessary
and one of its two callers doesn't even use the full result.
First off, the fixed-point value of cpu->max_perf represents a
non-negative number between 0 and 1 inclusive and cpu->min_perf
cannot be greater than cpu->max_perf. It is not necessary to check
those conditions every time the numbers in question are used.
Moreover, since intel_pstate_max_within_limits() only needs the
upper boundary, it doesn't make sense to compute the lower one in
there and returning min and max from intel_pstate_get_min_max()
via pointers doesn't look particularly nice.
For the above reasons, drop intel_pstate_get_min_max(), add a helper
to get the base P-state for min/max computations and carry out them
directly in the previous callers of intel_pstate_get_min_max().

intel_pstate_hwp_set() is the only function walking policy->cpus
in intel_pstate. The rest of the code simply assumes one CPU per
policy, including the initialization code.
Therefore it doesn't make sense for intel_pstate_hwp_set() to
walk policy->cpus as it is guaranteed to have only one bit set
for policy->cpu.
For this reason, rearrange intel_pstate_hwp_set() to take the CPU
number as the argument and drop the loop over policy->cpus from it.

Avoid using extra function pointers during P-state selection by
dropping the get_target_pstate member from struct pstate_funcs,

Notice that some overhead in the utilization update callbacks
registered by intel_pstate in the active mode can be avoided if
those callbacks are tailored to specific configurations of the
driver. For example, the utilization update callback for the HWP
enabled case only needs to update the average CPU performance
periodically whereas the utilization update callback for the
PID-based algorithm does not need to take IO-wait boosting into
account and so on.
With that in mind, define three utilization update callbacks for
three different use cases: HWP enabled, the CPU load "powersave"
P-state selection algorithm and the PID-based "powersave" P-state
selection algorithm and modify the driver initialization to
choose the callback matching its current configuration.

The driver_registered variable in intel_pstate is used for checking
whether or not the driver has been registered, but intel_pstate_driver

That is a bit more straightforward and the code may be simplified

intel_pstate_busy_pid_reset() is the only caller of pid_reset(),
pid_p_gain_set(), pid_i_gain_set(), and pid_d_gain_set(). Moreover,
it passes constants as two parameters of pid_reset() and all of
the other routines above essentially contain the same code, so
fold all of them into the caller and drop unnecessary computations.
Introduce percent_fp() for converting integer values in percent
to fixed-point fractions and use it in the above code cleanup.
Finally, rename intel_pstate_busy_pid_reset() to
intel_pstate_pid_reset() as it also is used for the

There is only one caller of intel_pstate_reset_all_pid(), which is
pid_param_set() used in the debugfs interface only, and having that
code split does not make it particularly convenient to follow.
For this reason, move the body of intel_pstate_reset_all_pid() into
its caller and drop that function.
Also change the loop from for_each_online_cpu() (which is obviously
racy with respect to CPU offline/online) to for_each_possible_cpu(),
so that all PID parameters are reset for all CPUs regardless of their
online/offline status (to prevent, for example, a previously offline

The cpufreq core only tries to create symbolic links from CPU
directories in sysfs to policy directories in cpufreq_add_dev(),
either when a given CPU is registered or when the cpufreq driver
is registered, whichever happens first. That is not sufficient,
however, because cpufreq_add_dev() may be called for an offline CPU
whose policy object has not been created yet and, quite obviously,
the symbolic cannot be added in that case.
Fix that by making cpufreq_online() attempt to add symbolic links to
policy objects for the CPUs in the related_cpus mask of every new
policy object created by it.
The cpufreq_driver_lock locking around the for_each_cpu() loop
in cpufreq_online() is dropped, because it is not necessary and the
code is somewhat simpler without it. Moreover, failures to create
a symbolic link will not be regarded as hard errors any more and
the CPUs without those links will not be taken offline automatically,
but that should not be problematic in practice.

Both intel_pstate_verify_policy() and intel_cpufreq_verify_policy()
set policy->cpuinfo.max_freq depending on the turbo status, but the
updates made by them are discarded by the core, because the policy
object passed to them by the core is temporary and cpuinfo.max_freq
from that object is not copied to the final policy object in
cpufreq_set_policy().
However, cpufreq_set_policy() passes the temporary policy object
to the ->setpolicy callback of the driver, so intel_pstate_set_policy()
actually sees the policy->cpuinfo.max_freq value updated by
intel_pstate_verify_policy() and not the final one. It also
updates policy->max sometimes which basically has no effect after
it returns, because the core discards that update.
To avoid confusion, eliminate policy->cpuinfo.max_freq updates from
intel_pstate_verify_policy() and intel_cpufreq_verify_policy()
entirely and check the maximum frequency explicitly in
intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() instead of relying on the
transiently updated policy->cpuinfo.max_freq value.
Moreover, move the max->policy adjustment carried out in
intel_pstate_set_policy() to a separate function and call that
function from the ->verify driver callbacks to ensure that it will
actually be effective.

The coordination of P-state limits used by intel_pstate in the active
mode (ie. by default) is problematic, because it synchronizes all of
the limits (ie. the global ones and the per-policy ones) so as to use
one common pair of P-state limits (min and max) across all CPUs in
the system. The drawbacks of that are as follows:
- If P-states are coordinated in hardware, it is not necessary
to coordinate them in software on top of that, so in that case
all of the above activity is in vain.
- If P-states are not coordinated in hardware, then the processor
is actually capable of setting different P-states for different
CPUs and coordinating them at the software level simply doesn't
allow that capability to be utilized.
- The coordination works in such a way that setting a per-policy
limit (eg. scaling_max_freq) for one CPU causes the common
effective limit to change (and it will affect all of the other
CPUs too), but subsequent reads from the corresponding sysfs
attributes for the other CPUs will return stale values (which
is confusing).
- Reads from the global P-state limit attributes, min_perf_pct and
max_perf_pct, return the effective common values and not the last
values set through these attributes. However, the last values
set through these attributes become hard limits that cannot be
exceeded by writes to scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq,
respectively, and they are not exposed, so essentially users
have to remember what they are.
All of that is painful enough to warrant a change of the management
of P-state limits in the active mode.
To that end, redesign the active mode P-state limits management in
intel_pstate in accordance with the following rules:
(1) All CPUs are affected by the global limits (that is, none of
them can be requested to run faster than the global max and
none of them can be requested to run slower than the global
min).
(2) Each individual CPU is affected by its own per-policy limits
(that is, it cannot be requested to run faster than its own
per-policy max and it cannot be requested to run slower than
its own per-policy min).
(3) The global and per-policy limits can be set independently.
Also, the global maximum and minimum P-state limits will be always
expressed as percentages of the maximum supported turbo P-state.

Extend the set of systems for which intel_pstate will use the
"powersave" P-state selection algorithm based on CPU load in the
active mode by systems with ACPI preferred profile set to "tablet",
"appliance PC", "desktop", or "workstation" (ie. everything with a
specified preferred profile that is not a "server").

Currently, some processors supporting HWP are only supported by
intel_pstate if HWP is actually going to be used and not supported
otherwise which is confusing.
Specifically, they are not supported if "intel_pstate=no_hwp" is
passed to the kernel in the command line or if the driver is started
in the passive mode ("intel_pstate=passive").
There is no real reason for that, because everything about those
processor is known anyway and the driver can work with them in all
modes, so make that happen, but use the load-based P-state selection
algorithm for the active mode "powersave" policy with them.

On CPU online the cpufreq core restores the previous governor (or
the previous "policy" setting for ->setpolicy drivers), but it does
not restore the min/max limits at the same time, which is confusing,
inconsistent and real pain for users who set the limits and then
suspend/resume the system (using full suspend), in which case the
limits are reset on all CPUs except for the boot one.
Fix this by making cpufreq_online() restore the limits when an inactive
policy is brought online.
The commit log and patch are inspired from Rafael's earlier work.

The policy->cpuinfo.max_freq and policy->max updates in
intel_cpufreq_turbo_update() are excessive as they are done for no
good reason and may lead to problems in principle, so they should be
dropped. However, after dropping them intel_cpufreq_turbo_update()
becomes almost entirely pointless, because the check made by it is
made again down the road in intel_pstate_prepare_request(). The
only thing in it that still needs to be done is the call to
update_turbo_state(), so drop intel_cpufreq_turbo_update() altogether
and make its callers invoke update_turbo_state() directly instead of
it.
In addition to that, fix intel_cpufreq_verify_policy() so that it
checks global.no_turbo in addition to global.turbo_disabled when
updating policy->cpuinfo.max_freq to make it consistent with
intel_pstate_verify_policy().

In the active mode intel_pstate currently uses two sets of global
limits, each associated with one of the possible scaling_governor
settings in that mode: "powersave" or "performance".
The driver switches over from one of those sets to the other
depending on the scaling_governor setting for the last CPU whose
per-policy cpufreq interface in sysfs was last used to change
parameters exposed in there. That obviously leads to no end of
issues when the scaling_governor settings differ between CPUs.
The most recent issue was introduced by commit a240c4aa5d0f (cpufreq:
intel_pstate: Do not reinit performance limits in ->setpolicy)
that eliminated the reinitialization of "performance" limits in
intel_pstate_set_policy() preventing the max limit from being set
to anything below 100, among other things.
Namely, an undesirable side effect of commit a240c4aa5d0f is that
now, after setting scaling_governor to "performance" in the active
mode, the per-policy limits for the CPU in question go to the highest
level and stay there even when it is switched back to "powersave"
later.
As it turns out, some distributions set scaling_governor to
"performance" temporarily for all CPUs to speed-up system
initialization, so that change causes them to misbehave later.
To fix that, get rid of the performance/powersave global limits
split and use just one set of global limits for everything.
From the user's persepctive, after this modification, when
scaling_governor is switched from "performance" to "powersave"
or the other way around on one CPU, the limits settings (ie. the
global max/min_perf_pct and per-policy scaling_max/min_freq for
any CPUs) will not change. Still, switching from "performance"
to "powersave" or the other way around changes the way in which
P-states are selected and in particular "performance" causes the
driver to always request the highest P-state it is allowed to ask
for for the given CPU.

The best place to register the CPU cooling device is from the cpufreq
driver as we would know if all the resources are already available or
not. That's what is done for the cpufreq-dt.c driver as well.
The cpu-cooling driver for dbx500 platform was just (un)registering
with the thermal framework and that can be handled easily by the cpufreq
driver as well and in proper sequence as well.
Get rid of the cooling driver and its its users and manage everything
from the cpufreq driver instead.
