<title>cpufreq: Call transition notifier only once for each policy</title>

<id>urn:sha1:df24014abe3694e7c34ce5e50248611b7a93fe83</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the notifiers are called once for each CPU of the policy-&gt;cpus
cpumask. It would be more optimal if the notifier can be called only
once and all the relevant information be provided to it. Out of the 23
drivers that register for the transition notifiers today, only 4 of them
do per-cpu updates and the callback for the rest can be called only once
for the policy without any impact.

This would also avoid multiple function calls to the notifier callbacks
and reduce multiple iterations of notifier core's code (which does
locking as well).

This patch adds pointer to the cpufreq policy to the struct
cpufreq_freqs, so the notifier callback has all the information
available to it with a single call. The five drivers which perform
per-cpu updates are updated to use the cpufreq policy. The freqs-&gt;cpu
field is redundant now and is removed.

   - Improve the cpufreq documentation, add SPDX license tags to some PM
     documentation files and unify copyright notices in them (Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - Add support for "CPU" domains to the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework and provide low-level PSCI firmware support for that
     feature (Ulf Hansson).

<id>urn:sha1:c208ac8f8f862dba7b01eb54557f4803b3c17296</id>
<content type='text'>
There are problems with running time_cpufreq_notifier() on SMP
systems.

First off, the rdtsc() called from there runs on the CPU executing
that code and not necessarily on the CPU whose sched_clock() rate is
updated which is questionable at best.

Second, in the cases when the frequencies of all CPUs in an SMP
system are always in sync, it is not sufficient to update just
one of them or the set associated with a given cpufreq policy on
frequency changes - all CPUs in the system should be updated and
that would require more than a simple transition notifier.

Note, however, that the underlying issue (the TSC rate depending on
the CPU frequency) has not been present in hardware shipping for the
last few years and in quite a few relevant cases (acpi-cpufreq in
particular) running time_cpufreq_notifier() will cause the TSC to
be marked as unstable anyway.

For this reason, make time_cpufreq_notifier() simply mark the TSC
as unstable and give up when run on SMP and only try to carry out
any adjustments otherwise.

Clocksource watchdog has been found responsible for generating latency
spikes (in the 10-20 us range) when woken up to check for TSC stability.

Add an option to disable it at boot.

<title>x86/tsc: Make calibration refinement more robust</title>

<content type='text'>
The threshold in tsc_read_refs() is constant which may favor slower CPUs
but may not be optimal for simple reading of reference on faster ones.

Hence make it proportional to tsc_khz when available to compensate for
this. The threshold guards against any disturbance like IRQs, NMIs, SMIs
or CPU stealing by host on guest systems so rename it accordingly and
fix comments as well.

Also on some systems there is noticeable DMI bus contention at some point
during boot keeping the readout failing (observed with about one in ~300
boots when testing). In that case retry also the second readout instead of
simply bailing out unrefined. Usually the next second the readout returns
fast just fine without any issues.

Looking at the asm for native_sched_clock() I noticed we don't inline
enough. Mostly caused by sharing code with cyc2ns_read_begin(), which
we didn't used to do. So mark all that __force_inline to make it DTRT.
