Jörg Otte reports that commit a4675fbc (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with utilization update callbacks) caused the CPUs in his Haswell-based system to stay in the very high frequency region even if the system is completely idle. That turns out to be an existing problem in the intel_pstate driver's P-state selection algorithm for Core processors. Namely, all decisions made by that algorithm are based on the average frequency of the CPU between sampling events and on the P-state requested on the last invocation, so it may get stuck at a very hight frequency even if the utilization of the CPU is very low (in fact, it may get stuck in a inadequate P-state regardless of the CPU utilization). The only way to kick it out of that limbo is a sufficiently long idle period (3 times longer than the prescribed sampling interval), but if that doesn't happen often enough (eg. due to a timing change like after the above commit), the P-state of the CPU may be inadequate pretty much all the time. To address the most egregious manifestations of that issue, reset the core_busy value used to determine the next P-state to request if the utilization of the CPU, determined with the help of the MPERF feedback register and the TSC, is below 1%.

When user sets performance policy using cpufreq interface, it is possible that because of policy->max limits, the actual performance is still limited. But the current implementation will silently switch the policy to powersave and start using powersave limits. If user modifies any limits using intel_pstate sysfs, this is actually changing powersave limits. The current implementation tracks limits under powersave and performance policy using two different variables. When policy->max is less than policy->cpuinfo.max_freq, only powersave limit variable is used. This fix causes the performance limits variable to be used always when the policy is performance.

The initialization of intel_pstate for a given CPU involves populating the fields of its struct cpudata that represent the previous sample, but currently that is done in a problematic way. Namely, intel_pstate_init_cpu() makes an extra call to intel_pstate_sample() so it reads the current register values that will be used to populate the "previous sample" record during the next invocation of intel_pstate_sample(). However, after commit a4675fbc (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with utilization update callbacks) that doesn't work for last_sample_time, because the time value is passed to intel_pstate_sample() as an argument now. Passing 0 to it from intel_pstate_init_cpu() is problematic, because that causes cpu->last_sample_time == 0 to be visible in get_target_pstate_use_performance() (and hence the extra cpu->last_sample_time > 0 check in there) and effectively allows the first invocation of intel_pstate_sample() from intel_pstate_update_util() to happen immediately after the initialization which may lead to a significant "turn on" effect in the governor algorithm. To mitigate that issue, rework the initialization to avoid the extra intel_pstate_sample() call from intel_pstate_init_cpu(). Instead, make intel_pstate_sample() return false if it has been called with cpu->sample.time equal to zero, which will make intel_pstate_update_util() skip the sample in that case, and reset cpu->sample.time from intel_pstate_set_update_util_hook() to make the algorithm start properly every time the hook is set.

The utilization update hook in the intel_pstate driver is set too early, as it only should be set after the policy has been fully initialized by the core. That may cause intel_pstate_update_util() to use incorrect data and put the CPUs into incorrect P-states as a result. To prevent that from happening, make intel_pstate_set_policy() set the utilization update hook instead of intel_pstate_init_cpu() so intel_pstate_update_util() only runs when all things have been initialized as appropriate.

Modify dbs_irq_work() to always schedule the process-context work on the current CPU which also ran the dbs_update_util_handler() that the irq_work being handled came from. This causes the entire frequency update handling (involving the "ondemand" or "conservative" governors) to be carried out by the CPU whose frequency is to be updated and reduces the overall amount of inter-CPU noise related to cpufreq.

Starting a governor in cpufreq always follows the same pattern involving two calls to cpufreq_governor(), one with the event argument set to CPUFREQ_GOV_START and one with that argument set to CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS. Introduce cpufreq_start_governor() that will carry out those two operations and make all places where governors are started use it. That slightly modifies the behavior of cpufreq_set_policy() which now also will go back to the old governor if the second call to cpufreq_governor() (the one with event equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS) fails, but that really is how it should work in the first place. Also cpufreq_resume() will now pring an error message if the CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS call to cpufreq_governor() fails, but that makes it follow cpufreq_add_policy_cpu() and cpufreq_offline() in that respect.

This driver has two issues. First, it tries to fiddle with the hot plugged CPU's MSR on the UP_PREPARE event, at a time when the CPU is not yet online. Second, the driver sets the "boost-disable" bit for a CPU when going down, but does not clear the bit again if the CPU comes up again due to DOWN_FAILED. This patch fixes the issues by changing the driver to react to the ONLINE/DOWN_FAILED events instead of UP_PREPARE. As an added benefit, the driver also becomes symmetric with respect to the hot plug mechanism. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <rcochran@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

After commit a4675fbc (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with utilization update callbacks) wrmsrl_on_cpu() cannot be called in the intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() path as that is executed with disabled interrupts. However, atom_set_pstate() called from there via intel_pstate_set_pstate() uses wrmsrl_on_cpu() to update the IA32_PERF_CTL MSR which triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE() in smp_call_function_single(). The reason why wrmsrl_on_cpu() is used by atom_set_pstate() is because intel_pstate_set_pstate() calling it is also invoked during the initialization and cleanup of the driver and in those cases it is not guaranteed to be run on the CPU that is being updated. However, in the case when intel_pstate_set_pstate() is called by intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate(), wrmsrl() can be used to update the register safely. Moreover, intel_pstate_set_pstate() already contains code that only is executed if the function is called by intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() and there is a special argument passed to it because of that. To fix the problem at hand, rearrange the code taking the above observations into account. First, replace the ->set() callback in struct pstate_funcs with a ->get_val() one that will return the value to be written to the IA32_PERF_CTL MSR without updating the register. Second, split intel_pstate_set_pstate() into two functions, intel_pstate_update_pstate() to be called by intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() that will contain all of the intel_pstate_set_pstate() code which only needs to be executed in that case and will use wrmsrl() to update the MSR (after obtaining the value to write to it from the ->get_val() callback), and intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() to be invoked during the initialization and cleanup that will set the P-state to the minimum one and will update the MSR using wrmsrl_on_cpu(). Finally, move the code shared between intel_pstate_update_pstate() and intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() to a new static inline function intel_pstate_record_pstate() and make them both call it. Of course, that unifies the handling of the IA32_PERF_CTL MSR writes between Atom and Core.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
