The rate_mult field in struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s is used by the code shared with the conservative governor and to access it that code has to do an ugly governor type check. However, first of all it is ever only used for policy->cpu, so it is per-policy rather than per-CPU and second, it is initialized to 1 by cpufreq_governor_start(), so if the conservative governor never modifies it, it will have no effect on the results of any computations. For these reasons, move rate_mult to struct policy_dbs_info (as a common field). Signed-off-by:

If store_sampling_rate() updates the sample delay when the ondemand governor is in the middle of its high/low dance (OD_SUB_SAMPLE sample type is set), the governor will still do the bottom half of the previous sample which may take too much time. To prevent that from happening, change store_sampling_rate() to always reset the sample delay to 0 which also is consistent with the new behavior of cpufreq_governor_limits(). Signed-off-by:

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:

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:

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:

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(). Signed-off-by:

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().

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.

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

Commit 1aee40ac (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(). Signed-off-by:

The dbs_data_mutex lock is currently used in two places. First, cpufreq_governor_dbs() uses it to guarantee mutual exclusion between invocations of governor operations from the core. Second, it is used by ondemand governor's update_sampling_rate() to ensure the stability of data structures walked by it. The second usage is quite problematic, because update_sampling_rate() is called from a governor sysfs attribute's ->store callback and that leads to a deadlock scenario involving cpufreq_governor_exit() which runs under dbs_data_mutex. Thus it is better to rework the code so update_sampling_rate() doesn't need to acquire dbs_data_mutex. To that end, rework update_sampling_rate() to walk a list of policy_dbs objects supported by the dbs_data one it has been called for (instead of walking cpu_dbs_info object for all CPUs). The list manipulation is protected with dbs_data->mutex which also is held around the execution of update_sampling_rate(), it is not necessary to hold dbs_data_mutex in that function any more.

Earlier, when the struct freq-attr was used to represent governor attributes, the standard cpufreq show/store sysfs attribute callbacks were applied to the governor tunable attributes and they always acquire the policy->rwsem lock before carrying out the operation. That could have resulted in an ABBA deadlock if governor tunable attributes are removed under policy->rwsem while one of them is being accessed concurrently (if sysfs attributes removal wins the race, it will wait for the access to complete with policy->rwsem held while the attribute callback will block on policy->rwsem indefinitely). We attempted to address this issue by dropping policy->rwsem around governor tunable attributes removal (that is, around invocations of the ->governor callback with the event arg equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT) in cpufreq_set_policy(), but that opened up race conditions that had not been possible with policy->rwsem held all the time. The previous commit, "cpufreq: governor: New sysfs show/store callbacks for governor tunables", fixed the original ABBA deadlock by adding new governor specific show/store callbacks. We don't have to drop rwsem around invocations of governor event CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT anymore, and original fix can be reverted now.

The previous commit introduced a new set of macros for creating sysfs attributes that represent governor tunables and the old macros used for this purpose are not needed any more, so drop them. Signed-off-by:

Viresh Kumar authored
The ondemand and conservative governors use the global-attr or freq-attr structures to represent sysfs attributes corresponding to their tunables (which of them is actually used depends on whether or not different policy objects can use the same governor with different tunables at the same time and, consequently, on where those attributes are located in sysfs). Unfortunately, in the freq-attr case, the standard cpufreq show/store sysfs attribute callbacks are applied to the governor tunable attributes and they always acquire the policy->rwsem lock before carrying out the operation. That may lead to an ABBA deadlock if governor tunable attributes are removed under policy->rwsem while one of them is being accessed concurrently (if sysfs attributes removal wins the race, it will wait for the access to complete with policy->rwsem held while the attribute callback will block on policy->rwsem indefinitely). We attempted to address this issue by dropping policy->rwsem around governor tunable attributes removal (that is, around invocations of the ->governor callback with the event arg equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT) in cpufreq_set_policy(), but that opened up race conditions that had not been possible with policy->rwsem held all the time. Therefore policy->rwsem cannot be dropped in cpufreq_set_policy() at any point, but the deadlock situation described above must be avoided too. To that end, use the observation that in principle governor tunables may be represented by the same data type regardless of whether the governor is system-wide or per-policy and introduce a new structure, struct governor_attr, for representing them and new corresponding macros for creating show/store sysfs callbacks for them. Also make their parent kobject use a new kobject type whose default show/store callbacks are not related to the standard core cpufreq ones in any way (and they don't acquire policy->rwsem in particular).

Some tunables are present in governor-specific structures, whereas one (min_sampling_rate) is located directly in struct dbs_data. There is a special macro for creating its sysfs attribute and the show/store callbacks, but since more tunables are going to be moved to struct dbs_data, a new generic macro for such cases will be useful, so add it and use it for min_sampling_rate.

The struct policy_dbs_info objects representing per-policy governor data are not accessible directly from the corresponding policy objects. To access them, one has to get a pointer to the struct cpu_dbs_info of policy->cpu and use the policy_dbs field of that which isn't really straightforward. To address that rearrange the governor data structures so the governor_data pointer in struct cpufreq_policy will point to struct policy_dbs_info (instead of struct dbs_data) and that will contain a pointer to struct dbs_data.

Use the observation that cpufreq_governor_limits() doesn't have to get to the policy object it wants to manipulate by walking the reference chain cdbs->policy_dbs->policy, as the final pointer is actually equal to its argument, and make it access the policy object directy via its argument.

Since it is possible to obtain a pointer to struct dbs_governor from a pointer to the struct governor embedded in it via container_of(), the second argument of cpufreq_governor_init() is not necessary. Accordingly, cpufreq_governor_dbs() doesn't need its second argument either and the ->governor callbacks for both the ondemand and conservative governors may be set to cpufreq_governor_dbs() directly.

For the ondemand and conservative governors (generally, governors that use the common code in cpufreq_governor.c), there are two static data structures representing the governor, the struct governor structure (the interface to the cpufreq core) and the struct common_dbs_data one (the interface to the cpufreq_governor.c code). There's no fundamental reason why those two structures have to be separate. Moreover, if the struct governor one is included into struct common_dbs_data, it will be possible to reach the latter from the policy via its policy->governor pointer, so it won't be necessary to pass a separate pointer to it around. For this reason, embed struct governor in struct common_dbs_data. Signed-off-by:

Do not pass struct dbs_data pointers to the family of functions implementing governor operations in cpufreq_governor.c as they can take that pointer from policy->governor by themselves. The cpufreq_governor_init() case is slightly more complicated, since policy->governor may be NULL when it is invoked, but then it can reach the pointer in question via its cdata argument just fine. While at it, rework cpufreq_governor_dbs() to avoid a pointless policy_governor check in the CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_INIT case. Signed-off-by:

Every governor relying on the common code in cpufreq_governor.c has to provide its own mutex in struct common_dbs_data. However, there actually is no need to have a separate mutex per governor for this purpose, they may be using the same global mutex just fine. Accordingly, introduce a single common mutex for that and drop the mutex field from struct common_dbs_data. That at least will ensure that the mutex is always present and initialized regardless of what the particular governors do. Another benefit is that the common code does not need a pointer to a governor-related structure to get to the mutex which sometimes helps. Finally, it makes the code generally easier to follow.

Instead of using a per-CPU deferrable timer for queuing up governor work items, register a utilization update callback that will be invoked from the scheduler on utilization changes. The sampling rate is still the same as what was used for the deferrable timers and the added irq_work overhead should be offset by the eliminated timers overhead, so in theory the functional impact of this patch should not be significant.

Introduce a mechanism by which parts of the cpufreq subsystem ("setpolicy" drivers or the core) can register callbacks to be executed from cpufreq_update_util() which is invoked by the scheduler's update_load_avg() on CPU utilization changes. This allows the "setpolicy" drivers to dispense with their timers and do all of the computations they need and frequency/voltage adjustments in the update_load_avg() code path, among other things. The update_load_avg() changes were suggested by Peter Zijlstra. Signed-off-by:Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by:
