cpufreq: fix overflow in cpufreq_table_find_index_dl()

2016-10-20T14:35:50+00:00

'best' is always less or equals to 'pos', so `best - pos' returns a negative value which is then getting casted to `unsigned int' and passed to __cpufreq_driver_target()->acpi_cpufreq_target() for policy->freq_table selection.

cpufreq: add cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq()

2016-07-21T12:46:08+00:00

Cpufreq governors may need to know what a particular target frequency maps to in the driver without necessarily wanting to set the frequency. Support this operation via a new cpufreq API, cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq(). This API returns the lowest driver frequency equal or greater than the target frequency (CPUFREQ_RELATION_L), subject to any policy (min/max) or driver limitations. The mapping is also cached in the policy so that a subsequent fast_switch operation can avoid repeating the same lookup. The API will call a new cpufreq driver callback, resolve_freq(), if it has been registered by the driver. Otherwise the frequency is resolved via cpufreq_frequency_table_target(). Rather than require ->target() style drivers to provide a resolve_freq() callback it is left to the caller to ensure that the driver implements this callback if necessary to use cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq().

cpufreq: Handle sorted frequency tables more efficiently

2016-07-06T22:13:20+00:00

cpufreq drivers aren't required to provide a sorted frequency table today, and even the ones which provide a sorted table aren't handled efficiently by cpufreq core. This patch adds infrastructure to verify if the freq-table provided by the drivers is sorted or not, and use efficient helpers if they are sorted. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

cpufreq: Return index from cpufreq_frequency_table_target()

2016-06-08T22:58:06+00:00

This routine can't fail unless the frequency table is invalid and doesn't contain any valid entries. Make it return the index and WARN() in case it is used for an invalid table. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpufreq: Drop freq-table param to cpufreq_frequency_table_target()

cpufreq: Remove cpufreq_frequency_get_table()

2016-06-08T22:58:05+00:00

Most of the callers of cpufreq_frequency_get_table() already have the pointer to a valid 'policy' structure and they don't really need to go through the per-cpu variable first and then a check to validate the frequency, in order to find the freq-table for the policy. Directly use the policy->freq_table field instead for them. Only one user of that API is left after above changes, cpu_cooling.c and it accesses the freq_table in a racy way as the policy can get freed in between. Fix it by using cpufreq_cpu_get() properly. Since there are no more users of cpufreq_frequency_get_table() left, get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar Acked-by: Javi Merino (cpu_cooling.c) Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpufreq: stats: Make the stats code non-modular

2016-06-02T21:24:41+00:00

The modularity of cpufreq_stats is quite problematic. First off, the usage of policy notifiers for the initialization and cleanup in the cpufreq_stats module is inherently racy with respect to CPU offline/online and the initialization and cleanup of the cpufreq driver. Second, fast frequency switching (used by the schedutil governor) cannot be enabled if any transition notifiers are registered, so if the cpufreq_stats module (that registers a transition notifier for updating transition statistics) is loaded, the schedutil governor cannot use fast frequency switching. On the other hand, allowing cpufreq_stats to be built as a module doesn't really add much value. Arguably, there's not much reason for that code to be modular at all. For the above reasons, make the cpufreq stats code non-modular, modify the core to invoke functions provided by that code directly and drop the notifiers from it. Make the stats sysfs attributes appear empty if fast frequency switching is enabled as the statistics will not be updated in that case anyway (and returning -EBUSY from those attributes breaks powertop). While at it, clean up Kconfig help for the CPU_FREQ_STAT and CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS options. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Viresh Kumar
