The implementation of intel_pstate_update_max_freq() is quite similar to
refresh_frequency_limits(), lets reuse it.
Finding minimum of policy->user_policy.max and policy->cpuinfo.max_freq
in intel_pstate_update_max_freq() is redundant as cpufreq_set_policy()
will call the ->verify() callback of intel-pstate driver, which will do
this comparison anyway and so dropping it from
intel_pstate_update_max_freq() doesn't harm.

Register notifiers for min/max frequency constraints with the PM QoS
framework. The constraints are also taken into consideration in
cpufreq_set_policy().
This also relocates cpufreq_policy_put_kobj() as it is required to be
called from cpufreq_policy_alloc() now.
refresh_frequency_limits() is updated to avoid calling
cpufreq_set_policy() for inactive policies and handle_update() is

Currently, the notifiers are called once for each CPU of the policy->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->cpu
field is redundant now and is removed.

While the cpuinfo.max_freq value doesn't really matter for
intel_pstate in the active mode, in the passive mode it is used by
governors as the maximum physical frequency of the CPU and the
results of governor computations generally depend on it. Also it
is made available to user space via sysfs and it should match the
current HW configuration.
For this reason, make intel_pstate update cpuinfo.max_freq for all
CPUs if it detects a global change of turbo frequency settings from
"disable" to "enable" or the other way associated with a _PPC change
notification from the platform firmware.
Note that policy_is_inactive(), cpufreq_cpu_acquire(),
cpufreq_cpu_release(), and cpufreq_set_policy() need to be made
available to it for this purpose.

In some cases, the platform firmware disables or enables turbo
frequencies for all CPUs globally before triggering a _PPC change
notification for one of them. Obviously, that global change affects
all CPUs, not just the notified one, and it needs to be acted upon by
cpufreq.
The intel_pstate driver is able to detect such global changes of
the settings, but it also needs to update policy limits for all
CPUs if that happens, in particular if turbo frequencies are
enabled globally - to allow them to be used.
For this reason, introduce a new cpufreq driver callback to be
invoked on _PPC notifications, if present, instead of simply
calling cpufreq_update_policy() for the notified CPU and make
intel_pstate use it to trigger policy updates for all CPUs
in the system if global settings change.

The cpufreq core doesn't remove the cpufreq policy anymore on CPU
offline operation, rather that happens when the CPU device gets
unregistered from the kernel. This allows faster recovery when the CPU
comes back online. This is also very useful during system wide
suspend/resume where we offline all non-boot CPUs during suspend and
then bring them back on resume.
This commit takes the same idea a step ahead to allow drivers to do
light weight tear-down and bring-up during CPU offline and online
operations.
A new set of callbacks is introduced, online/offline(). online() gets
called when the first CPU of an inactive policy is brought up and
offline() gets called when all the CPUs of a policy are offlined.
The existing init/exit() callback get called on policy
creation/destruction. They also get called instead of online/offline()
callbacks if the online/offline() callbacks aren't provided.
This also moves around some code to get executed only for the new-policy
case going forward.

All cpufreq drivers do similar things to register as a cooling device.
Provide a cpufreq driver flag so drivers can just ask the cpufreq core
to register the cooling device on their behalf. This allows us to get

In order to allow this, we add a struct thermal_cooling_device pointer
to struct cpufreq_policy so that drivers don't need to store it in a

The cpufreq_global_kobject is created using kobject_create_and_add()
helper, which assigns the kobj_type as dynamic_kobj_ktype and show/store
routines are set to kobj_attr_show() and kobj_attr_store().
These routines pass struct kobj_attribute as an argument to the
show/store callbacks. But all the cpufreq files created using the
cpufreq_global_kobject expect the argument to be of type struct
attribute. Things work fine currently as no one accesses the "attr"
argument. We may not see issues even if the argument is used, as struct
kobj_attribute has struct attribute as its first element and so they
will both get same address.
But this is logically incorrect and we should rather use struct
kobj_attribute instead of struct global_attr in the cpufreq core and
drivers and the show/store callbacks should take struct kobj_attribute
as argument instead.
This bug is caught using CFI CLANG builds in android kernel which
catches mismatch in function prototypes for such callbacks.

By design, cpufreq drivers are responsible for calling
cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() from their ->init()
callbacks to validate the frequency table.
However, if a cpufreq driver is buggy and fails to do so properly, it
lead to unexpected behavior of the driver or the cpufreq core at a
later point in time. It would be better if the core could
validate the frequency table during driver initialization.
To that end, introduce cpufreq_table_validate_and_sort() and make
the cpufreq core call it right after invoking the ->init() callback
of the driver and destroy the cpufreq policy if the table is invalid.
For the time being the validation of the table happens twice, once
from the driver and then from the core. The individual drivers will
be updated separately to drop table validation if they don't need it
for other reasons.
The frequency table is marked "sorted" or "unsorted" by the new helper
now instead of in cpufreq_table_validate_and_show(), as it should only
be done after validating the table (which the drivers won't do going
forward).

After commit 890da9cf09 (Revert "x86: do not use cpufreq_quick_get()
for /proc/cpuinfo "cpu MHz"") the "cpu MHz" number in /proc/cpuinfo
on x86 can be either the nominal CPU frequency (which is constant)
or the frequency most recently requested by a scaling governor in
cpufreq, depending on the cpufreq configuration. That is somewhat
inconsistent and is different from what it was before 4.13, so in
order to restore the previous behavior, make it report the current
CPU frequency like the scaling_cur_freq sysfs file in cpufreq.
To that end, modify the /proc/cpuinfo implementation on x86 to use
aperfmperf_snapshot_khz() to snapshot the APERF and MPERF feedback
registers, if available, and use their values to compute the CPU
frequency to be reported as "cpu MHz".
However, do that carefully enough to avoid accumulating delays that
lead to unacceptable access times for /proc/cpuinfo on systems with
many CPUs. Run aperfmperf_snapshot_khz() once on all CPUs
asynchronously at the /proc/cpuinfo open time, add a single delay
upfront (if necessary) at that point and simply compute the current
frequency while running show_cpuinfo() for each individual CPU.
Also, to avoid slowing down /proc/cpuinfo accesses too much, reduce
the default delay between consecutive APERF and MPERF reads to 10 ms,
which should be sufficient to get large enough numbers for the
frequency computation in all cases.

Since there are cpufreq drivers (e.g. cpufreq-dt) which can be build for
different arch's a default implementation of the frequency-invariance

This default implementation is an empty weak function which will be

The setter function passes the cpumask of related (to the frequency
change) cpus (online and offline cpus), the (new) current frequency and
the maximum supported frequency.

With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to
certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks
into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target
CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are
certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor
for some time.
One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on
CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the
system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum
demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency
immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this
does not occur.
This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for
remote CPUs as well.
The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to
process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where
the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU.
The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks.
This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling,
galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit
octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements,
while others didn't had much deviation.
The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where
following are required to be true to improve performance and that
doesn't happen too often with these tests:
- Task is migrated to another CPU.
- The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher
OPPs.
- And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the
next tick.

The policy->transition_latency field is used for multiple purposes
today and its not straight forward at all. This is how it is used:
A. Set the correct transition_latency value.
B. Set it to CPUFREQ_ETERNAL because:
1. We don't want automatic dynamic switching (with
ondemand/conservative) to happen at all.
2. We don't know the transition latency.
This patch handles the B.1. case in a more readable way. A new flag for

have dynamic_switching flag set.
All the current cpufreq drivers which are setting transition_latency

At worst, we may end up setting the sampling rate to a value lower than

The cpu_cooling driver is designed to use CPU frequency scaling to

The goal of this change is to give users a uniform and meaningful
result when they read /sys/...cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
on modern x86 hardware, as compared to what they get today.
Modern x86 processors include the hardware needed
to accurately calculate frequency over an interval --
APERF, MPERF, and the TSC.
Here we provide an x86 routine to make this calculation
on supported hardware, and use it in preference to any
driver driver-specific cpufreq_driver.get() routine.
MHz is computed like so:
MHz = base_MHz * delta_APERF / delta_MPERF
MHz is the average frequency of the busy processor
over a measurement interval. The interval is
defined to be the time between successive invocations
of aperfmperf_khz_on_cpu(), which are expected to to
happen on-demand when users read sysfs attribute
cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq.
As with previous methods of calculating MHz,
idle time is excluded.
base_MHz above is from TSC calibration global "cpu_khz".
This x86 native method to calculate MHz returns a meaningful result
no matter if P-states are controlled by hardware or firmware
and/or if the Linux cpufreq sub-system is or is-not installed.
When this routine is invoked more frequently, the measurement
interval becomes shorter. However, the code limits re-computation
to 10ms intervals so that average frequency remains meaningful.
Discerning users are encouraged to take advantage of
the turbostat(8) utility, which can gracefully handle
concurrent measurement intervals of arbitrary length.

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 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.

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.

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.

The 'initialized' field in struct cpufreq_governor is only used by
the conservative governor (as a usage counter) and the way that
happens is far from straightforward and arguably incorrect.
Namely, the value of 'initialized' is checked by
cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() and cpufreq_dbs_governor_exit() and
the results of those checks are passed (as the second argument) to
the ->init() and ->exit() callbacks in struct dbs_governor. Those
callbacks are only implemented by the ondemand and conservative
governors and ondemand doesn't use their second argument at all.
In turn, the conservative governor uses it to decide whether or not
to either register or unregister a transition notifier.
That whole mechanism is not only unnecessarily convoluted, but also
racy, because the 'initialized' field of struct cpufreq_governor is
updated in cpufreq_init_governor() and cpufreq_exit_governor() under
policy->rwsem which doesn't help if one of these functions is run
twice in parallel for different policies (which isn't impossible in
principle), for example.
Instead of it, add a proper usage counter to the conservative
governor and update it from cs_init() and cs_exit() which is
guaranteed to be non-racy, as those functions are only called
under gov_dbs_data_mutex which is global.
With that in place, drop the 'initialized' field from struct
cpufreq_governor as it is not used any more.

The design of the cpufreq governor API is not very straightforward,
as struct cpufreq_governor provides only one callback to be invoked
from different code paths for different purposes. The purpose it is
invoked for is determined by its second "event" argument, causing it
to act as a "callback multiplexer" of sorts.
Unfortunately, that leads to extra complexity in governors, some of
which implement the ->governor() callback as a switch statement
that simply checks the event argument and invokes a separate function
to handle that specific event.
That extra complexity can be eliminated by replacing the all-purpose
->governor() callback with a family of callbacks to carry out specific
governor operations: initialization and exit, start and stop and policy
limits updates. That also turns out to reduce the code size too, so
do it.
