When a CPU is taken offline in an SMP system, cpufreq_remove_dev()
nulls out the per-cpu policy before cpufreq_stats_free_table() can
make use of it. cpufreq_stats_free_table() then skips the
call to sysfs_remove_group(), leaving about 100 bytes of sysfs-related
memory unclaimed each time a CPU-removal occurs. Break up
cpu_stats_free_table into sysfs and table portions, and
call the sysfs portion early.

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.
For more detailled instructions, please see

When we discover CPUs that are affected by each other's
frequency/voltage transitions, the first CPU gets a sysfs directory
created, and rest of the siblings get symlinks. Currently, when we
hotplug off only the first CPU, all of the symlinks and the sysfs
directory gets removed. Even though rest of the siblings are still
online and functional, they are orphaned, and no longer governed by
cpufreq.
This patch, given the above scenario, creates a sysfs directory for
the first sibling and symlinks for the rest of the siblings.
Please note the recursive call, it was rather too ugly to roll it
out. And the removal of redundant NULL setting (it is already taken
care of near the top of the function).

The cpufreq subsystem uses sysdev suspend and resume for
executing cpufreq_suspend() and cpufreq_resume(), respectively,
during system suspend, after interrupts have been switched off on the
boot CPU, and during system resume, while interrupts are still off on
the boot CPU. In both cases the other CPUs are off-line at the
relevant point (either they have been switched off via CPU hotplug
during suspend, or they haven't been switched on yet during resume).
For this reason, although it may seem that cpufreq_suspend() and
cpufreq_resume() are executed for all CPUs in the system, they are
only called for the boot CPU in fact, which is quite confusing.
To remove the confusion and to prepare for elimiating sysdev
suspend and resume operations from the kernel enirely, convernt
cpufreq to using a struct syscore_ops object for the boot CPU
suspend and resume and rename the callbacks so that their names
reflect their purpose. In addition, put some explanatory remarks
into their kerneldoc comments.

There cannot be any concurrent access to these through

cpufreq_register_driver sets cpufreq_driver to a structure owned (and
placed) in the caller's memory. If cpufreq policy fails in its ->init
function, sysdev_driver_register returns nonzero in
cpufreq_register_driver. Now, cpufreq_register_driver returns an error
without setting cpufreq_driver back to NULL.
Usually cpufreq policy modules are unloaded because they propagate the
error to the module init function and return that.
So a later access to any member of cpufreq_driver causes bugs like:

With cmwq, there's no reason for cpufreq drivers to use separate
workqueues. Remove the dedicated workqueues from cpufreq_conservative
and cpufreq_ondemand and use system_wq instead. The work items are
already sync canceled on stop, so it's already guaranteed that no work
is running on module exit.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
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.

Adds a new global tunable, sampling_down_factor. Set to 1 it makes no
changes from existing behavior, but set to greater than 1 (e.g. 100)
it acts as a multiplier for the scheduling interval for reevaluating
load when the CPU is at its top speed due to high load. This improves
performance by reducing the overhead of load evaluation and helping
the CPU stay at its top speed when truly busy, rather than shifting
back and forth in speed. This tunable has no effect on behavior at
lower speeds/lower CPU loads.
This patch is against 2.6.36-rc6.
This patch should help solve kernel bug 19672 "ondemand is slow".

and fix the broken case if a core's frequency depends on others.
trace_power_frequency was only implemented in a rather ungeneric way
in acpi-cpufreq driver's target() function only.
-> Move the call to trace_power_frequency to
cpufreq.c:cpufreq_notify_transition() where CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE
notifier is triggered.
This will support power frequency tracing by all cpufreq drivers
trace_power_frequency did not trace frequency changes correctly when
the userspace governor was used or when CPU cores' frequency depend
on each other.
-> Moving this into the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and pass the cpu
which gets switched automatically fixes this.
Robert Schoene provided some important fixes on top of my initial
quick shot version which are integrated in this patch:
- Forgot some changes in power_end trace (TP_printk/variable names)
- Variable dummy in power_end must now be cpu_id
- Use static 64 bit variable instead of unsigned int for cpu_id

Pavel Machek pointed out that not all CPUs have an efficient
idle at high frequency. Specifically, older Intel and various
AMD cpus would get a higher powerusage when copying files from
USB.
Mike Chan pointed out that the same is true for various ARM
chips as well.
Thomas Renninger suggested to make this a sysfs tunable with a
reasonable default.
This patch adds a sysfs tunable for the new behavior, and uses
a very simple function to determine a reasonable default,
depending on the CPU vendor/type.

The ondemand cpufreq governor uses CPU busy time (e.g. not-idle
time) as a measure for scaling the CPU frequency up or down.
If the CPU is busy, the CPU frequency scales up, if it's idle,
the CPU frequency scales down. Effectively, it uses the CPU busy
time as proxy variable for the more nebulous "how critical is
performance right now" question.
This algorithm falls flat on its face in the light of workloads
where you're alternatingly disk and CPU bound, such as the ever
popular "git grep", but also things like startup of programs and
maildir using email clients... much to the chagarin of Andrew
Morton.
This patch changes the ondemand algorithm to count iowait time
as busy, not idle, time. As shown in the breakdown cases above,
iowait is performance critical often, and by counting iowait,
the proxy variable becomes a more accurate representation of the
"how critical is performance" question.
The problem and fix are both verified with the "perf timechar"
tool.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Constify struct sysfs_ops.
This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime
* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed
* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
and therefore exclude them from false sharing

Dominik said:
target_freq cannot be below policy->min or above policy->max.
If it were, the whole cpufreq subsystem is broken.
But (answer):
I think the "ondemand" governor can ask for a target frequency that is
below policy->min.
...
A patch such as below may be needed to sanitize the target frequency
requested by "ondemand". The "conservative" governor already has this check:

This interface is mainly intended (and implemented) for ACPI _PPC BIOS
frequency limitations, but other cpufreq drivers can also use it for
similar use-cases.
Why is this needed:
Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited.
People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have
happened by:
- any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq
- thermal limitations
- hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations
Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to:
- Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits
frequency
- Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs.
While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear
more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like
allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want
to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations.
All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch:
- powernow-k8
- powernow-k7
- acpi-cpufreq
Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1)
via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit:
# echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
# cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
2600000
2600000
2200000
2200000
# #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations
# cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit
2600000
2600000
2800000
2800000
# #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation

Dave,
Attached is an update of my patch against the cpufreq fixes branch.
Before applying the patch I compiled and booted the tree to see if the panic
was still there -- to my surprise it was not. This is because of the conversion
of cpufreq_cpu_governor to a char[].
While the panic is kaput, the problem of stale data continues and my patch is
still valid. It is possible to end up with the wrong governor after hotplug
events because CPUFREQ_DEFAULT_GOVERNOR is statically linked to a default,
while the cpu siblings may have had a different governor assigned by a user.
ie) the patch is still needed in order to keep the governors assigned
properly when hotplugging devices

ondemand and conservative governors are messing up time units in the
code path where NO_HZ is not enabled and ignore_nice is set. The walltime
idletime stored is in jiffies and nice time calculation is happening in
microseconds.
The problem was reported and diagnosed by Alexander here.

Currently on governer backup/restore path we storing governor's pointer.
This is wrong because one may unload governor's module after cpu goes
offline. As result use-after-free will take place on restored cpu.
It is not easy to exploit this bug, but still we have to close this
issue ASAP. Issue was introduced by following commit

This patch updates percpu related symbols in cpufreq such that percpu
symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols. This serves
two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol
collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu symbols.

* drivers/cpufreq/freq_table.c: s/show_table/cpufreq_show_table/
