Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Fix printf format warning for bprintf sunrpc uses a trace_printk() that triggers a printf warning during the compile. Move the __printf() attribute around for when debugging is not enabled the warning will go away - Remove redundant check for EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED in event_filter_write() The FREED flag is checked in the call to event_file_file() and then checked again right afterward, which is unneeded - Clean up event_file_file() and event_file_data() helpers These helper functions played a different role in the past, but now with eventfs, the READ_ONCE() isn't needed. Simplify the code a bit and also add a warning to event_file_data() if the file or its data is not present - Remove updating file->private_data in tracing open All access to the file private data is handled by the helper functions, which do not use file->private_data. Stop updating it on open - Show ENUM names in function arguments via BTF in function tracing When showing the function arguments when func-args option is set for function tracing, if one of the arguments is found to be an enum, show the name of the enum instead of its number - Add new trace_call__##name() API for tracepoints Tracepoints are enabled via static_branch() blocks, where when not enabled, there's only a nop that is in the code where the execution will just skip over it. When tracing is enabled, the nop is converted to a direct jump to the tracepoint code. Sometimes more calculations are required to be performed to update the parameters of the tracepoint. In this case, trace_##name##_enabled() is called which is a static_branch() that gets enabled only when the tracepoint is enabled. This allows the extra calculations to also be skipped by the nop: if (trace_foo_enabled()) { x = bar(); trace_foo(x); } Where the x=bar() is only performed when foo is enabled. The problem with this approach is that there's now two static_branch() calls. One for checking if the tracepoint is enabled, and then again to know if the tracepoint should be called. The second one is redundant Introduce trace_call__foo() that will call the foo() tracepoint directly without doing a static_branch(): if (trace_foo_enabled()) { x = bar(); trace_call__foo(); } - Update various locations to use the new trace_call__##name() API - Move snapshot code out of trace.c Cleaning up trace.c to not be a "dump all", move the snapshot code out of it and into a new trace_snapshot.c file - Clean up some "%*.s" to "%*s" - Allow boot kernel command line options to be called multiple times Have options like: ftrace_filter=foo ftrace_filter=bar ftrace_filter=zoo Equal to: ftrace_filter=foo,bar,zoo - Fix ipi_raise event CPU field to be a CPU field The ipi_raise target_cpus field is defined as a __bitmask(). There is now a __cpumask() field definition. Update the field to use that - Have hist_field_name() use a snprintf() and not a series of strcat() It's safer to use snprintf() that a series of strcat() - Fix tracepoint regfunc balancing A tracepoint can define a "reg" and "unreg" function that gets called before the tracepoint is enabled, and after it is disabled respectively. But on error, after the "reg" func is called and the tracepoint is not enabled, the "unreg" function is not called to tear down what the "reg" function performed - Fix output that shows what histograms are enabled Event variables are displayed incorrectly in the histogram output Instead of "sched.sched_wakeup.$var", it is showing "$sched.sched_wakeup.var" where the '$' is in the incorrect location - Some other simple cleanups * tag 'trace-v7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (24 commits) selftests/ftrace: Add test case for fully-qualified variable references tracing: Fix fully-qualified variable reference printing in histograms tracepoint: balance regfunc() on func_add() failure in tracepoint_add_func() tracing: Rebuild full_name on each hist_field_name() call tracing: Report ipi_raise target CPUs as cpumask tracing: Remove duplicate latency_fsnotify() stub tracing: Preserve repeated trace_trigger boot parameters tracing: Append repeated boot-time tracing parameters tracing: Remove spurious default precision from show_event_trigger/filter formats cpufreq: Use trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites tracing: Remove tracing_alloc_snapshot() when snapshot isn't defined tracing: Move snapshot code out of trace.c and into trace_snapshot.c mm: damon: Use trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites btrfs: Use trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites spi: Use trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites i2c: Use trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites kernel: Use trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites tracepoint: Add trace_call__##name() API tracing: trace_mmap.h: fix a kernel-doc warning tracing: Pretty-print enum parameters in function arguments ...

cpufreq: Pass the policy to cpufreq_driver->adjust_perf()

2026-04-02T16:30:24+00:00

cpufreq_cpu_get() can sleep on PREEMPT_RT in presence of concurrent writer(s), however amd-pstate depends on fetching the cpudata via the policy's driver data which necessitates grabbing the reference. Since schedutil governor can call "cpufreq_driver->update_perf()" during sched_tick/enqueue/dequeue with rq_lock held and IRQs disabled, fetching the policy object using the cpufreq_cpu_get() helper in the scheduler fast-path leads to "BUG: scheduling while atomic" on PREEMPT_RT [1]. Pass the cached cpufreq policy object in sg_policy to the update_perf() instead of just the CPU. The CPU can be inferred using "policy->cpu". The lifetime of cpufreq_policy object outlasts that of the governor and the cpufreq driver (allocated when the CPU is onlined and only reclaimed when the CPU is offlined / the CPU device is removed) which makes it safe to be referenced throughout the governor's lifetime.

cpufreq: Allocate QoS freq_req objects with policy

2026-04-01T13:53:47+00:00

A recent change exposed a bug in the error path: if freq_qos_add_request(boost_freq_req) fails, min_freq_req may remain a valid pointer even though it was never successfully added. During policy teardown, this leads to an unconditional call to freq_qos_remove_request(), triggering a WARN. The current design allocates all three freq_req objects together, making the lifetime rules unclear and error handling fragile. Simplify this by allocating the QoS freq_req objects at policy allocation time. The policy itself is dynamically allocated, and two of the three requests are always needed anyway. This ensures consistent lifetime management and eliminates the inconsistent state in failure paths.

cpufreq: Add boost_freq_req QoS request

2026-03-30T19:56:52+00:00

The Power Management Quality of Service (PM QoS) allows to aggregate constraints from multiple entities. It is currently used to manage the min/max frequency of a given policy. Frequency constraints can come for instance from: - Thermal framework: acpi_thermal_cpufreq_init() - Firmware: _PPC objects: acpi_processor_ppc_init() - User: by setting policyX/scaling_[min|max]_freq The minimum of the max frequency constraints is used to compute the resulting maximum allowed frequency. When enabling boost frequencies, the same frequency request object (policy->max_freq_req) as to handle requests from users is used. As a result, when setting: - scaling_max_freq - boost The last sysfs file used overwrites the request from the other sysfs file. To avoid this, create a per-policy boost_freq_req to save the boost constraints instead of overwriting the last scaling_max_freq constraint. policy_set_boost() calls the cpufreq set_boost callback. Update the newly added boost_freq_req request from there: - whenever boost is toggled - to cover all possible paths In the existing .set_boost() callbacks: - Don't update policy->max as this is done through the qos notifier cpufreq_notifier_max() which calls cpufreq_set_policy(). - Remove freq_qos_update_request() calls as the qos request is now done in policy_set_boost() and updates the new boost_freq_req $ ## Init state scaling_max_freq:1000000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1000000 $ echo 700000 > scaling_max_freq scaling_max_freq:700000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1000000 $ echo 1 > ../boost scaling_max_freq:1200000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1200000 $ echo 800000 > scaling_max_freq scaling_max_freq:800000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1200000 $ ## Final step: $ ## Without the patches: $ echo 0 > ../boost scaling_max_freq:1000000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1000000 $ ## With the patches: $ echo 0 > ../boost scaling_max_freq:800000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1000000 Note: cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() updates policy->min and max from: A. cpufreq_boost_set_sw() \-cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() B. cpufreq_policy_online() \-cpufreq_table_validate_and_sort() \-cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() Keep these updates as some drivers expect policy->min and max to be set through B.

cpufreq: Remove max_freq_req update for pre-existing policy

2026-03-30T19:56:52+00:00

policy->max_freq_req QoS constraint represents the maximal allowed frequency than can be requested. It is set by: - writing to policyX/scaling_max sysfs file - toggling the cpufreq/boost sysfs file Upon calling freq_qos_update_request(), a successful update of the max_freq_req value triggers cpufreq_notifier_max(), followed by cpufreq_set_policy() which update the requested frequency for the policy. If the new max_freq_req value is not different from the original value, no frequency update is triggered. In a specific sequence of toggling: - cpufreq/boost sysfs file - CPU hot-plugging a CPU could end up with boost enabled but running at the maximal non-boost frequency, cpufreq_notifier_max() not being triggered. The following fixed that: commit 1608f0230510 ("cpufreq: Fix re-boost issue after hotplugging a CPU") The following: commit dd016f379ebc ("cpufreq: Introduce a more generic way to set default per-policy boost flag") also fixed the issue by correctly setting the max_freq_req constraint of a policy that is re-activated. This makes the first fix unnecessary. As the original issue is fixed by another method, this patch reverts: commit 1608f0230510 ("cpufreq: Fix re-boost issue after hotplugging a CPU") Reviewed-by: Lifeng Zheng Signed-off-by: Pierre Gondois Acked-by: Viresh Kumar Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260326204404.1401849-2-pierre.gondois@arm.com Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

cpufreq: Use trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites

Replace trace_foo() with the new trace_call__foo() at sites already guarded by trace_foo_enabled(), avoiding a redundant static_branch_unlikely() re-evaluation inside the tracepoint. trace_call__foo() calls the tracepoint callbacks directly without utilizing the static branch again.

cpufreq: Don't skip cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo()

2026-03-23T12:32:57+00:00

The commit 6db0f533d320 ("cpufreq: preserve freq_table_sorted across suspend/hibernate") unintentionally made a change where cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() isn't getting called anymore for old policies getting re-initialized. This leads to potentially invalid values of policy->max and policy->cpuinfo_max_freq. Fix the issue by reverting the original commit and adding the condition for just the sorting function.
