2007-10-22[CPUFREQ] Make cpufreq_conservative handle out-of-sync events properlyElias Oltmanns
Make cpufreq_conservative handle out-of-sync events properly Currently, the cpufreq_conservative governor doesn't get notified when the actual frequency the cpu is running at differs from what cpufreq thought it was. As a result the cpu may stay at the maximum frequency after a s2ram / resume cycle even though the system is idle.

2007-10-09[CPUFREQ] Don't take semaphore in cpufreq_quick_get()Andi Kleen
I don't see any reason to take an expensive lock in cpufreq_quick_get() Reading policy->cur is a single atomic operation and after the lock is dropped again the state could change any time anyways. So don't take the lock in the first place. This also makes this function interrupt safe which is useful for some code of mine.

* Stop referencing the callback directly from the __init and __exit functions of this driver, and instead explicitly call cpufreq_update_policy() et al. This enables the callback function to be marked as __cpuinit (and the notifier_block __cpuinitdata), thereby saving space when HOTPLUG_CPU=n. This also enables us to use other tricks to replace __cpuinit{data} in future. * cpufreq_stats_free_table() is only called from __cpuinit or __exit marked functions, making it an ideal candidate for __cpuexit. * Fix missing space in the module description Signed-off-by: Satyam Sharma <satyam@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

2007-10-04[CPUFREQ] allow ondemand and conservative cpufreq governors to be used as ↵Thomas Renninger
default 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.

2007-07-13[CPUFREQ] bugfix cpufreq in combination with performance governorPeter Oruba
There is a frequency scaling issue that I encountered with the performance governor in combination with CPU hotplug. In cpufreq.c CPU frequency is reduced to its minimum before the CPU gets unregistered and set offline. Does that have a particular reason? Since the (k8-)governor does not monitor CPU frequency that setting also applies then to the remaining CPU as well and lets the system run on the lowest frequency although performance is chose as the policy.

2007-07-11sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

2007-06-21[CPUFREQ] ondemand: fix tickless accounting and software coordination bugVenki Pallipadi
With tickless kernel and software coordination os P-states, ondemand can look at wrong idle statistics. This can happen when ondemand sampling is happening on CPU 0 and due to software coordination sampling also looks at utilization of CPU 1. If CPU 1 is in tickless state at that moment, its idle statistics will not be uptodate and CPU 0 thinks CPU 1 is idle for less amount of time than it actually is. This can be resolved by looking at all the busy times of CPUs, which is accurate, even with tickless, and use that to determine idle time in a round about way (total time - busy time).

2007-05-09Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplugRafael J. Wysocki
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2006-11-22WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context dataDavid Howells
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2006-11-20Add "pure_initcall" for static variable initializationLinus Torvalds
This is a quick hack to overcome the fact that SRCU currently does not allow static initializers, and we need to sometimes initialize those things before any other initializers (even "core" ones) can do so. Currently we don't allow this at all for modules, and the only user that needs is right now is cpufreq.

2006-10-15[CPUFREQ][8/8] acpi-cpufreq: Add support for freq feedback from hardwareVenkatesh Pallipadi
Enable ondemand governor and acpi-cpufreq to use IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSR to get active frequency feedback for the last sampling interval. This will make ondemand take right frequency decisions when hardware coordination of frequency is going on. Without APERF/MPERF, ondemand can take wrong decision at times due to underlying hardware coordination or TM2. Example: * CPU 0 and CPU 1 are hardware cooridnated. * CPU 1 running at highest frequency. * CPU 0 was running at highest freq. Now ondemand reduces it to some intermediate frequency based on utilization. * Due to underlying hardware coordination with other CPU 1, CPU 0 continues to run at highest frequency (as long as other CPU is at highest). * When ondemand samples CPU 0 again next time, without actual frequency feedback from APERF/MPERF, it will think that previous frequency change was successful and can go to wrong target frequency. This is because it thinks that utilization it has got this sampling interval is when running at intermediate frequency, rather than actual highest frequency.

2006-10-04[PATCH] cpufreq: make the transition_notifier chain use SRCUAlan Stern
This patch (as762) changes the cpufreq_transition_notifier_list from a blocking_notifier_head to an srcu_notifier_head. This will prevent errors caused attempting to call down_read() to access the notifier chain at a time when interrupts must remain disabled, during system suspend. It's not clear to me whether this is really necessary; perhaps the chain could be made into an atomic_notifier. However a couple of the callout routines do use blocking operations, so this approach seems safer. The head of the notifier chain needs to be initialized before use; this is done by an __init routine at core_initcall time. If this turns out not to be a good choice, it can easily be changed.
