With this patch you have following minimal sampling rate restrictions:
Kernel restrictions:
If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, the limit is 10ms fixed.
If CONFIG_NO_HZ is not set or no_hz=off boot parameter is used, the
limits depend on the CONFIG_HZ option:
HZ=1000: min=20000us (20ms)
HZ=250: min=80000us (80ms)
HZ=100: min=200000us (200ms)
HW restrictions:
Do not sample/poll more often than HW latency * 100 exported by the low
level cpufreq HW driver
The higher value of above restrictions is the minimal sampling rate
that can be set (and can be seen via ondemand/sampling_rate_min sysfs file)
Default sampling rate still is HW latency * 1000, but this will now end
up in lower values on latest (Intel and AMD) hardware as these can switch
really fast and sampling rate mostly was limited to the 80ms or 200ms
(depending on whether HZ=250 or HZ=1000 is used).

cpufreq fix timer teardown in ondemand governor
The problem is that dbs_timer_exit() uses cancel_delayed_work() when it should
use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). cancel_delayed_work() does not wait for the
workqueue handler to exit.
The ondemand governor does not seem to be affected because the
"if (!dbs_info->enable)" check at the beginning of the workqueue handler returns
immediately without rescheduling the work. The conservative governor in
2.6.30-rc has the same check as the ondemand governor, which makes things
usually run smoothly. However, if the governor is quickly stopped and then
started, this could lead to the following race :
dbs_enable could be reenabled and multiple do_dbs_timer handlers would run.
This is why a synchronized teardown is required.
The following patch applies to, at least, 2.6.28.x, 2.6.29.1, 2.6.30-rc2.

Hrm, I think it must be due to my attempt to fix the timer teardown race
in ondemand governor mixed with new locking behavior in 2.6.30-rc.
The rwlock seems to be taken around the whole call to
cpufreq_governor_dbs(), when it should be only taken around accesses to
the locked data, and especially *not* around the call to
dbs_timer_exit().
Reverting my fix attempt would put the teardown race back in place
(replacing the cancel_delayed_work_sync by cancel_delayed_work).
Instead, a proper fix would imply modifying this critical section :
cpufreq.c: __cpufreq_remove_dev()
...
if (cpufreq_driver->target)
__cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu);
To make sure the __cpufreq_governor() callback is not called with rwsem
held. This would allow execution of cancel_delayed_work_sync() without
being nested within the rwsem.
Applies on top of the 2.6.30-rc5 tree.
Required to remove circular dep in teardown of both conservative and
ondemande governors so they can use cancel_delayed_work_sync().
CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP does not modify the policy, therefore this locking seemed
unneeded.

This reverts commit e088e4c9cd.
Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
regression in bug 12826.
Course of action:
- Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
If it isn't, we need to fix that.
- mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
- try again with the removal in six months.
It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

p4-clockmod has a long history of abuse. It pretends to be a CPU
frequency scaling driver, even though it doesn't actually change
the CPU frequency, but instead just modulates the frequency with
wait-states.
The biggest misconception is that when running at the lower 'frequency'
p4-clockmod is saving power. This isn't the case, as workloads running
slower take longer to complete, preventing the CPU from entering deep C states.
However p4-clockmod does have a purpose. It can prevent overheating.
Having it hooked up to the cpufreq interfaces is the wrong way to achieve
cooling however. It should instead be hooked up to ACPI.
This diff introduces a means for a cpufreq driver to register with the
cpufreq core, but not present a sysfs interface.

In drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c the function cpufreq_add_dev() takes the
error exit 'err_out_unregister' from different places once with the
'cpu_policy_rwsem' lock held, once with the lock released:
| if (ret)
| goto err_out_unregister;
| }
|
| policy->governor = NULL; /* to assure that the starting sequence is
| * run in cpufreq_set_policy */
|
| /* set default policy */
| ret = __cpufreq_set_policy(policy, &new_policy);
| policy->user_policy.policy = policy->policy;
| policy->user_policy.governor = policy->governor;
|
| unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu);
|
| if (ret) {
| dprintk("setting policy failed\n");
| goto err_out_unregister;
| }
This leads to the following error message in case of a failing
__cpufreq_set_policy() call:

Currently, affected_cpus shows which CPUs need to have their frequency
coordinated in software. When hardware coordination is in use, the contents
of this file appear the same as when no coordination is required. This can
lead to some confusion among user-space programs, for example, that do not
know that extra coordination is required to force a CPU core to a particular
speed to control power consumption.
To fix this, create a "related_cpus" attribute that always displays the
coordination map regardless of whatever coordination strategy the cpufreq
driver uses (sw or hw). If the cpufreq driver does not provide a value, fall
back to policy->cpus.

Eliminate cpufreq_userspace scaling_setspeed deadlock.
Luming Yu recently uncovered yet another cpufreq related deadlock.
One thread that continuously switches the governors and the other thread that
repeatedly cats the contents of cpufreq directory causes both these threads to
go into a deadlock.
Detailed examination of the deadlock showed the exact flow before the deadlock
as:
Thread 1 Thread 2
________ ________
cats files under /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/
Set governor to userspace
Adds a new sysfs entry for
scaling_setspeed
cats files under /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/
Set governor to performance
Holds cpufreq_rw_sem in write
mode
Sends a STOP notify to
userspace governor
cat /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/scaling_setspeed
Gets a handle on the above sysfs entry with
sysfs_get_active
Blocks while trying to get cpufreq_rw_sem
in read mode
Remove a sysfs entry for
scaling_setspeed
Blocks on sysfs_deactivate
while waiting for earlier
get_active (on other thread)
to drain
At this point both threads go into deadlock and any other thread that tries to
do anything with sysfs cpufreq will also block.
There seems to be no easy way to avoid this deadlock as long as
cpufreq_userspace adds/removes the sysfs entry under same kobject as cpufreq.
Below patch moves scaling_setspeed to cpufreq.c, keeping it always and calling
back the governor on read/write. This is the cleanest fix I could think of,
even though adding two callbacks in governor structure just for this seems
unnecessary.
Note that the change makes scaling_setspeed under /sys/.../cpufreq permanent
and returns <unsupported> when governor is not userspace.

When the cpufreq driver starts up at boot time, it calls into the default
governor which might not be initialised yet. This hurts when the
governor's worker function relies on memory that is not yet set up by its
init function.
This migrates all governors from module_init() to fs_initcall() when being
the default, as was already done in cpufreq_performance when it was the
only possible choice. The performance governor is always initialized early
because it might be used as fallback even when not being the default.
Fixes at least one actual oops where ondemand is the default governor and
cpufreq_governor_dbs() uses the uninitialised kondemand_wq work-queue
during boot-time.

A number of different drivers incorrect access the kobject name field
directly. This is not correct as the name might not be in the array.
Use the proper accessor function instead.
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.

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.

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.

deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,

accessing removed modules.
This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with

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).

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).

This reverts commit aeeddc1435, which was
half-baked and broken. It just resulted in compile errors, since
cpufreq_register_driver() still changes the 'driver_data' by setting
bits in the flags field. So claiming it is 'const' _really_ doesn't

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).

Yet another attempt to resolve cpufreq and hotplug locking issues.
Patchset has 3 patches:
* Rewrite the lock infrastructure of cpufreq using a per cpu rwsem.
* Minor restructuring of work callback in ondemand driver.
* Use the new cpufreq rwsem infrastructure in ondemand work.
This patch:
Convert policy->lock to rwsem and move it to per_cpu area.
This rwsem will protect against both changing/accessing policy
related parameters and CPU hot plug/unplug.

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).

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. As reported by Thomas Gleixner:

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.

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.

This patch makes the needlessly global powersave_bias_target() static.
Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
ondemand selects the minimum frequency that can retire
a workload with negligible idle time -- ideally resulting in the highest
performance/power efficiency with negligible performance impact.
But on some systems and some workloads, this algorithm
is more performance biased than necessary, and
de-tuning it a bit to allow some performance impact
can save measurable power.
This patch adds a "powersave_bias" tunable to ondemand
to allow it to reduce its target frequency by a specified percent.
By default, the powersave_bias is 0 and has no effect.
powersave_bias is in units of 0.1%, so it has an effective range
of 1 through 1000, resulting in 0.1% to 100% impact.
In practice, users will not be able to detect a difference between
0.1% increments, but 1.0% increments turned out to be too large.
Also, the max value of 1000 (100%) would simply peg the system
in its deepest power saving P-state, unless the processor really has
a hardware P-state at 0Hz:-)
For example, If ondemand requests 2.0GHz based on utilization,
and powersave_bias=100, this code will knock 10% off the target
and seek a target of 1.8GHz instead of 2.0GHz until the
next sampling. If 1.8 is an exact match with an hardware frequency
we use it, otherwise we average our time between the frequency
next higher than 1.8 and next lower than 1.8.
Note that a user or administrative program can change powersave_bias
at run-time depending on how they expect the system to be used.

I just stumbled on this bug/feature, this is how to reproduce it:
# echo 450000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
# echo 450000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
# echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
# cpufreq-info -p
450000 450000 powersave
# echo 1800000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq ; echo $?
0
# cpufreq-info -p
450000 450000 powersave
Here it is. The kernel refuses to set a min_freq higher than the
max_freq but it allows a max_freq lower than min_freq (lowering min_freq
also).
This behaviour is pretty straightforward (but undocumented) and it
doesn't return an error altough failing to accomplish the requested
action (set min_freq).
The problem (IMO) is basically that userspace is not allowed to set a
full policy atomically while the kernel always does that thus it must
enforce an ordering on operations.
The attached patch returns -EINVAL if trying to increase frequencies
starting from scaling_min_freq and documents the correct ordering of writes.

The patch below moves the cpu hotplugging higher up in the cpufreq
layering; this is needed to avoid recursive taking of the cpu hotplug
lock and to otherwise detangle the mess.
The new rules are:
1. you must do lock_cpu_hotplug() around the following functions:
__cpufreq_driver_target
__cpufreq_governor (for CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS operation only)
__cpufreq_set_policy
2. governer methods (.governer) must NOT take the lock_cpu_hotplug()
lock in any way; they are called with the lock taken already
3. if your governer spawns a thread that does things, like calling
__cpufreq_driver_target, your thread must honor rule #1.
4. the policy lock and other cpufreq internal locks nest within
the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock.
I'm not entirely happy about how the __cpufreq_governor rule ended up
(conditional locking rule depending on the argument) but basically all
callers pass this as a constant so it's not too horrible.
The patch also removes the cpufreq_governor() function since during the
locking audit it turned out to be entirely unused (so no need to fix it)
The patch works on my testbox, but it could use more testing
(otoh... it can't be much worse than the current code)

Rootcaused the bug to a deadlock in cpufreq and ondemand. Due to non-existent
ordering between cpu_hotplug lock and dbs_mutex. Basically a race condition
between cpu_down() and do_dbs_timer().
cpu_down() flow:
* cpu_down() call for CPU 1
* Takes hot plug lock
* Calls pre down notifier
* cpufreq notifier handler calls cpufreq_driver_target() which takes
cpu_hotplug lock again. OK as cpu_hotplug lock is recursive in same
process context
* CPU 1 goes down
* Calls post down notifier
* cpufreq notifier handler calls ondemand event stop which takes dbs_mutex
So, cpu_hotplug lock is taken before dbs_mutex in this flow.
do_dbs_timer is triggerred by a periodic timer event.
It first takes dbs_mutex and then takes cpu_hotplug lock in
cpufreq_driver_target().
Note the reverse order here compared to above. So, if this timer event happens
at right moment during cpu_down, system will deadlok.
Attached patch fixes the issue for both ondemand and conservative.
