cpufreq entries in sysfs should only be populated when CPU is online state. When we either boot with maxcpus=x and then boot the other cpus by echoing to sysfs online file, these entries should be created and destroyed when CPU_DEAD is notified. Same treatement as cache entries under sysfs. We place the processor in the lowest frequency, so hw managed P-State transitions can still work on the other threads to save power. Primary goal was to just make these directories appear/disapper dynamically. There is one in this patch i had to do, which i really dont like myself but probably best if someone handling the cpufreq infrastructure could give this code right treatment if this is not acceptable. I guess its probably good for the first cut. - Converting lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() to disable/enable preempt. The locking was smack in the middle of the notification path, when the hotplug is already holding the lock. I tried another solution to avoid this so avoid taking locks if we know we are from notification path. The solution was getting very ugly and i decided this was probably good for this iteration until someone who understands cpufreq could do a better job than me. (akpm: export cpucontrol to GPL modules: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.c now does lock_cpu_hotplug()) Signed-off-by: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Cc: Dave Jones <davej@codemonkey.org.uk> Cc: Zwane Mwaikambo <zwane@holomorphy.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> |
