The function, cpufreq_quick_get, accesses the global 'cpufreq_driver' and its fields without taking the associated lock, cpufreq_driver_lock. Without the locking, nothing guarantees that 'cpufreq_driver' remains consistent during the call. This patch fixes the issue by taking the lock before accessing the data structure.

If the current value of MPERF or the current value of TSC is the same as the previous one, respectively, intel_pstate_sample() bails out early and skips the sample. However, intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() is still called in that case which is not correct, so modify intel_pstate_sample() to return a bool value indicating whether or not the sample has been taken and use it to decide whether or not to call intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate(). While at it, remove redundant parentheses from the MPERF/TSC check in intel_pstate_sample(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Create cpufreq.c under kernel/sched/ and move the cpufreq code related to the scheduler to that file and to sched.h. Redefine cpufreq_update_util() as a static inline function to avoid function calls at its call sites in the scheduler code (as suggested by Peter Zijlstra). Also move the definition of struct update_util_data and declaration of cpufreq_set_update_util_data() from include/linux/cpufreq.h to include/linux/sched.h. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Revert commit 3510fac4 (cpufreq: postfix policy directory with the first CPU in related_cpus). Earlier, the policy->kobj was added to the kobject core, before ->init() callback was called for the cpufreq drivers. Which allowed those drivers to add or remove, driver dependent, sysfs files/directories to the same kobj from their ->init() and ->exit() callbacks. That isn't possible anymore after commit 3510fac4. Now, there is no other clean alternative that people can adopt. Its better to revert the earlier commit to allow cpufreq drivers to create/remove sysfs files from ->init() and ->exit() callbacks.

Use the observation that cpufreq_update_util() is only called by the scheduler with rq->lock held, so the callers of cpufreq_set_update_util_data() can use synchronize_sched() instead of synchronize_rcu() to wait for cpufreq_update_util() to complete. Moreover, if they are updated to do that, rcu_read_(un)lock() calls in cpufreq_update_util() might be replaced with rcu_read_(un)lock_sched(), respectively, but those aren't really necessary, because the scheduler calls that function from RCU-sched read-side critical sections already. In addition to that, if cpufreq_set_update_util_data() checks the func field in the struct update_util_data before setting the per-CPU pointer to it, the data->func check may be dropped from cpufreq_update_util() as well. Make the above changes to reduce the overhead from cpufreq_update_util() in the scheduler paths invoking it and to make the cleanup after removing its callbacks less heavy-weight somewhat.

The entire sequence of events (like INIT/START or STOP/EXIT) for which cpufreq_governor() is called, is guaranteed to be protected by policy->rwsem now. The additional checks that were added earlier (as we were forced to drop policy->rwsem before calling cpufreq_governor() for EXIT event), aren't required anymore. Over that, they weren't sufficient really. They just take care of START/STOP events, but not INIT/EXIT and the state machine was never maintained properly by them.

There is a scenario that may lead to undesired results in dbs_update_util_handler(). Namely, if two CPUs sharing a policy enter the funtion at the same time, pass the sample delay check and then one of them is stalled until dbs_work_handler() (queued up by the other CPU) clears the work counter, it may update the work counter and queue up another work item prematurely. To prevent that from happening, use the observation that the CPU queuing up a work item in dbs_update_util_handler() updates the last sample time. This means that if another CPU was stalling after passing the sample delay check and now successfully updated the work counter as a result of the race described above, it will see the new value of the last sample time which is different from what it used in the sample delay check before. If that happens, the sample delay check passed previously is not valid any more, so the CPU should not continue.

Since cpufreq_governor_dbs() is now always called with policy->rwsem held, it cannot be executed twice in parallel for the same policy. Thus it is not necessary to hold dbs_data_mutex around the invocations of cpufreq_governor_start/stop/limits() from it as those functions never modify any data that can be shared between different policies. However, cpufreq_governor_dbs() may be executed twice in parallal for different policies using the same gov->gdbs_data object and dbs_data_mutex is still necessary to protect that object against concurrent updates. For this reason, narrow down the dbs_data_mutex locking to cpufreq_governor_init/exit() where it is needed and rename the mutex to gov_dbs_data_mutex to reflect its purpose. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

After previous changes there is only one piece of code in the ondemand governor making references to per-CPU data structures, but it can be easily modified to avoid doing that, so modify it accordingly and move the definition of per-CPU data used by the ondemand and conservative governors to the common code. Next, change that code to access the per-CPU data structures directly rather than via a governor callback. This causes the ->get_cpu_cdbs governor callback to become unnecessary, so drop it along with the macro and function definitions related to it. Finally, drop the definitions of struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s that aren't necessary any more. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Some fields in struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s are only used for a limited set of CPUs. Namely, if a policy is shared between multiple CPUs, those fields will only be used for one of them (policy->cpu). This means that they really are per-policy rather than per-CPU and holding room for them in per-CPU data structures is generally wasteful. Also moving those fields into per-policy data structures will allow some significant simplifications to be made going forward. For this reason, introduce struct cs_policy_dbs_info and struct od_policy_dbs_info to hold those fields. Define each of the new structures as an extension of struct policy_dbs_info (such that struct policy_dbs_info is embedded in each of them) and introduce new ->alloc and ->free governor callbacks to allocate and free those structures, respectively, such that ->alloc() will return a pointer to the struct policy_dbs_info embedded in the allocated data structure and ->free() will take that pointer as its argument. With that, modify the code accessing the data fields in question in per-CPU data objects to look for them in the new structures via the struct policy_dbs_info pointer available to it and drop them from struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s.

The ondemand_powersave_bias_init() function used for resetting data fields related to the powersave bias tunable of the ondemand governor works by walking all of the online CPUs in the system and updating the od_cpu_dbs_info_s structures for all of them. However, if governor tunables are per policy, the update should not touch the CPUs that are not associated with the given dbs_data. Moreover, since the data fields in question are only ever used for policy->cpu in each policy governed by ondemand, the update can be limited to those specific CPUs. Rework the code to take the above observations into account. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> Acked-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

The ->store() callbacks of some tunable sysfs attributes of the ondemand and conservative governors trigger immediate updates of the CPU load information for all CPUs "governed" by the given dbs_data by walking the cpu_dbs_info structures for all online CPUs in the system and updating them. This is questionable for two reasons. First, it may lead to a lot of extra overhead on a system with many CPUs if the given dbs_data is only associated with a few of them. Second, if governor tunables are per-policy, the CPUs associated with the other sets of governor tunables should not be updated. To address this issue, use the observation that in all of the places in question the update operation may be carried out in the same way (because all of the tunables involved are now located in struct dbs_data and readily available to the common code) and make the code in those places invoke the same (new) helper function that will carry out the update correctly. That new function always checks the ignore_nice_load tunable value and updates the CPUs' prev_cpu_nice data fields if that's set, which wasn't done by the original code in store_io_is_busy(), but it should have been done in there too.

The io_is_busy governor tunable is only used by the ondemand governor and is located in the ondemand-specific data structure, but it is looked at by the common governor code that has to do ugly things to get to that value, so move it to struct dbs_data and modify ondemand accordingly. Since the conservative governor never touches that field, it will be always 0 for that governor and it won't have any effect on the results of computations in that case. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

It is possible for a dbs_data object to be updated after its usage counter has become 0. That may happen if governor_store() runs (via a govenor tunable sysfs attribute write) in parallel with cpufreq_governor_exit() called for the last cpufreq policy associated with the dbs_data in question. In that case, if governor_store() acquires dbs_data->mutex right after cpufreq_governor_exit() has released it, the ->store() callback invoked by it may operate on dbs_data with no users. Although sysfs will cause the kobject_put() in cpufreq_governor_exit() to block until governor_store() has returned, that situation may lead to some unexpected results, depending on the implementation of the ->store callback, and therefore it should be avoided. To that end, modify governor_store() to check the dbs_data's usage count before invoking the ->store() callback and return an error if it is 0 at that point. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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.

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: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> Acked-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

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.
