This commit adds boost frequency support in cpufreq core (Hardware &
Software). Some SoCs (like Exynos4 - e.g. 4x12) allow setting frequency
above its normal operation limits. Such mode shall be only used for a
short time.
Overclocking (boost) support is essentially provided by platform
dependent cpufreq driver.
This commit unifies support for SW and HW (Intel) overclocking solutions
in the core cpufreq driver. Previously the "boost" sysfs attribute was
defined in the ACPI processor driver code. By default boost is disabled.
One global attribute is available at: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost.
It only shows up when cpufreq driver supports overclocking.
Under the hood frequencies dedicated for boosting are marked with a
special flag (CPUFREQ_BOOST_FREQ) at driver's frequency table.
It is the user's concern to enable/disable overclocking with a proper call
to sysfs.
The cpufreq_boost_trigger_state() function is defined non static on purpose.
It is used later with thermal subsystem to provide automatic enable/disable
of the BOOST feature.

CPUFreq drivers that use clock frameworks interface,i.e. clk_get_rate(),
to get CPUs clk rate, have similar sort of code used in most of them.
This patch adds a generic ->get() which will do the same thing for them.
All those drivers are required to now is to set .get to cpufreq_generic_get()
and set their clk pointer in policy->clk during ->init().

There are several problems with cpufreq stats in the way it handles
cpufreq_unregister_driver() and suspend/resume..
- We must not lose data collected so far when suspend/resume happens
and so stats directories must not be removed/allocated during these
operations, which is done currently.
- cpufreq_stat has registered notifiers with both cpufreq and hotplug.
It adds sysfs stats directory with a cpufreq notifier: CPUFREQ_NOTIFY
and removes this directory with a notifier from hotplug core.
In case cpufreq_unregister_driver() is called (on rmmod cpufreq driver),
stats directories per cpu aren't removed as CPUs are still online. The
only call cpufreq_stats gets is cpufreq_stats_update_policy_cpu() for
all CPUs except the last of each policy. And pointer to stat information
is stored in the entry for last CPU in the per-cpu cpufreq_stats_table.
But policy structure would be freed inside cpufreq core and so that will
result in memory leak inside cpufreq stats (as we are never freeing
memory for stats).
Now if we again insert the module cpufreq_register_driver() will be
called and we will again allocate stats data and put it on for first
CPU of every policy. In case we only have a single CPU per policy, we
will return with a error from cpufreq_stats_create_table() due to this
code:
if (per_cpu(cpufreq_stats_table, cpu))
return -EBUSY;
And so probably cpufreq stats directory would not show up anymore (as
it was added inside last policies->kobj which doesn't exist anymore).
I haven't tested it, though. Also the values in stats files wouldn't
be refreshed as we are using the earlier stats structure.
- CPUFREQ_NOTIFY is called from cpufreq_set_policy() which is called for
scenarios where we don't really want cpufreq_stat_notifier_policy() to get
called. For example whenever we are changing anything related to a policy:
min/max/current freq, etc. cpufreq_set_policy() is called and so cpufreq
stats is notified. Where we don't do any useful stuff other than simply
returning with -EBUSY from cpufreq_stats_create_table(). And so this
isn't the right notifier that cpufreq stats..
Due to all above reasons this patch does following changes:
- Add new notifiers CPUFREQ_CREATE_POLICY and CPUFREQ_REMOVE_POLICY,
which are only called when policy is created/destroyed. They aren't
called for suspend/resume paths..
- Use these notifiers in cpufreq_stat_notifier_policy() to create/destory
stats sysfs entries. And so cpufreq_unregister_driver() or suspend/resume
shouldn't be a problem for cpufreq_stats.
- Return early from cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback() for suspend/resume sequence,
so that we don't free stats structure.

Sometimes boot loaders set CPU frequency to a value outside of frequency table
present with cpufreq core. In such cases CPU might be unstable if it has to run
on that frequency for long duration of time and so its better to set it to a
frequency which is specified in freq-table. This also makes cpufreq stats
inconsistent as cpufreq-stats would fail to register because current frequency
of CPU isn't found in freq-table.
Because we don't want this change to affect boot process badly, we go for the
next freq which is >= policy->cur ('cur' must be set by now, otherwise we will
end up setting freq to lowest of the table as 'cur' is initialized to zero).
In case current frequency doesn't match any frequency from freq-table, we throw
warnings to user, so that user can get this fixed in their bootloaders or
freq-tables.

on that frequency for long duration of time and so its better to set it to a
frequency which is specified in frequency table.
On some systems we can't really say what frequency we're running at the moment
and so for these we shouldn't check if we are running at a frequency present in
frequency table. And so we really can't force this for all the cpufreq drivers.
Hence we are created another flag here: CPUFREQ_NEED_INITIAL_FREQ_CHECK that
will be marked by platforms which want to go for this check at boot time.
Initially this is done for all ARM platforms but others may follow if required.

There are few special cases like exynos5440 which doesn't send POSTCHANGE
notification from their ->target() routine and call some kind of bottom halves
for doing this work, work/tasklet/etc.. From which they finally send POSTCHANGE
notification.
Its better if we distinguish them from other cpufreq drivers in some way so that
core can handle them specially. So this patch introduces another flag:
CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION, which will be set by such drivers.
This also changes exynos5440-cpufreq.c and powernow-k8 in order to set this
flag.

Currently, the prototype of cpufreq_drivers target routines is:
int target(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int target_freq,
unsigned int relation);
And most of the drivers call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() to get a valid
index of their frequency table which is closest to the target_freq. And they
don't use target_freq and relation after that.
So, it makes sense to just do this work in cpufreq core before calling
cpufreq_frequency_table_target() and simply pass index instead. But this can be
done only with drivers which expose their frequency table with cpufreq core. For
others we need to stick with the old prototype of target() until those drivers
are converted to expose frequency tables.
This patch implements the new light weight prototype for target_index() routine.
It looks like this:
int target_index(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int index);
CPUFreq core will call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() before calling this
routine and pass index to it. Because CPUFreq core now requires to call routines
present in freq_table.c CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE must be enabled all the time.
This also marks target() interface as deprecated. So, that new drivers avoid
using it. And Documentation is updated accordingly.
It also converts existing .target() to newly defined light weight
.target_index() routine for many driver.

We can't take a big lock around __cpufreq_governor() as this causes
recursive locking for some cases. But calls to this routine must be
serialized for every policy. Otherwise we can see some unpredictable
events.
For example, consider following scenario:
__cpufreq_remove_dev()
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
policy->governor->governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
cpufreq_governor_dbs()
case CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP:
mutex_destroy(&cpu_cdbs->timer_mutex)
cpu_cdbs->cur_policy = NULL;
<PREEMPT>
store()
__cpufreq_set_policy()
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS);
policy->governor->governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS);
case CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS:
mutex_lock(&cpu_cdbs->timer_mutex); <-- Warning (destroyed mutex)
if (policy->max < cpu_cdbs->cur_policy->cur) <- cur_policy == NULL
And so store() will eventually result in a crash if cur_policy is
NULL at this point.
Introduce an additional variable which would guarantee serialization
here.

Commit 7c30ed ("cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are serialized")
interacts poorly with systems that have a single core freqency for all
cores. On such systems we have a single policy for all cores with
several CPUs. When we do a frequency transition the governor calls the
pre and post change notifiers which causes cpufreq_notify_transition()
per CPU. Since the policy is the same for all of them all CPUs after
the first and the warnings added are generated by checking a per-policy
flag the warnings will be triggered for all cores after the first.
Fix this by allowing notifier to be called for n times. Where n is the number of
cpus in policy->cpus.

Whenever we are changing frequency of a cpu, we are calling PRECHANGE and
POSTCHANGE notifiers. They must be serialized. i.e. PRECHANGE or POSTCHANGE
shouldn't be called twice contiguously.
This can happen due to bugs in users of __cpufreq_driver_target() or actual
cpufreq drivers who are sending these notifiers.
This patch adds some protection against this. Now, we keep track of the last
transaction and see if something went wrong.

There were a few noticeable formatting issues in core cpufreq code.
This cleans them up to make code look better. The changes include:
- Whitespace cleanup.
- Rearrangements of code.
- Multiline comments fixes.
- Formatting changes to fit 80 columns.
Copyright information in cpufreq.c is also updated to include my name
for 2013.

Cpufreq governors' stop and start operations should be carried out
in sequence. Otherwise, there will be unexpected behavior, like in
the example below.
Suppose there are 4 CPUs and policy->cpu=CPU0, CPU1/2/3 are linked
to CPU0. The normal sequence is:
1) Current governor is userspace. An application tries to set the
governor to ondemand. It will call __cpufreq_set_policy() in
which it will stop the userspace governor and then start the
ondemand governor.
2) Current governor is userspace. The online of CPU3 runs on CPU0.
It will call cpufreq_add_policy_cpu() in which it will first
stop the userspace governor, and then start it again.
If the sequence of the above two cases interleaves, it becomes:
1) Application stops userspace governor
2) Hotplug stops userspace governor
which is a problem, because the governor shouldn't be stopped twice
in a row. What happens next is:
3) Application starts ondemand governor
4) Hotplug starts a governor
In step 4, the hotplug is supposed to start the userspace governor,
but now the governor has been changed by the application to ondemand,
so the ondemand governor is started once again, which is incorrect.
The solution is to prevent policy governors from being stopped
multiple times in a row. A governor should only be stopped once for
one policy. After it has been stopped, no more governor stop
operations should be executed.
Also add a mutex to serialize governor operations.

The "index" field of struct cpufreq_frequency_table was never an
index and isn't used at all by the cpufreq core. It only is useful
for cpufreq drivers for their internal purposes.
Many people nowadays blindly set it in ascending order with the
assumption that the core will use it, which is a mistake.
Rename it to "driver_data" as that's what its purpose is. All of its
users are updated accordingly.

When we don't have any file in cpu/cpufreq directory we shouldn't
create it. Specially with the introduction of per-policy governor
instance patchset, even governors are moved to
cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/governor-name directory and so this directory is
just not required.
Lets have it only when required.

get_cpu_idle_time() and they aren't required to compile
cpufreq_governor.c. So, move these independent routines to

get_governor_parent_kobj() can be used by any governor, generic
cpufreq governors or platform specific ones and so must be present in
cpufreq.c instead of cpufreq_governor.c.
This patch moves it to cpufreq.c. This also adds
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(get_governor_parent_kobj) so that modules can use
this function too.

policy->cpus contains all online cpus that have single shared clock line. And
their frequencies are always updated together.
Many SMP system's cpufreq drivers take care of this in individual drivers but
the best place for this code is in cpufreq core.
This patch modifies cpufreq_notify_transition() to notify frequency change for
all cpus in policy->cpus and hence updates all users of this API.

Currently, there can't be multiple instances of single governor_type.
If we have a multi-package system, where we have multiple instances
of struct policy (per package), we can't have multiple instances of
same governor. i.e. We can't have multiple instances of ondemand
governor for multiple packages.
Governors directory in sysfs is created at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/
governor-name/. Which again reflects that there can be only one
instance of a governor_type in the system.
This is a bottleneck for multicluster system, where we want different
packages to use same governor type, but with different tunables.
This patch uses the infrastructure provided by earlier patch and
implements init/exit routines for ondemand and conservative
governors.

This patch is inclined towards providing this infrastructure. Because
we are required to allocate governor's resources dynamically now, we
must do it at policy creation and end. And so got
CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_INIT/EXIT.

Currently, whenever governor->governor() is called for CPUFRREQ_GOV_START event
we reset few tunables of governor. Which isn't correct, as this routine is
called for every cpu hot-[un]plugging event. We should actually be resetting
these only when the governor module is removed and re-installed.

__cpufreq_remove_dev() is called on multiple occasions: cpufreq_driver
unregister and cpu removals.
Current implementation of this routine is overly complex without much need. If
the cpu to be removed is the policy->cpu, we remove the policy first and add all
other cpus again from policy->cpus and then finally call __cpufreq_remove_dev()
again to remove the cpu to be deleted. Haahhhh..
There exist a simple solution to removal of a cpu:
- Simply use the old policy structure
- update its fields like: policy->cpu, etc.
- notify any users of cpufreq, which depend on changing policy->cpu
Hence this patch, which tries to implement the above theory. It is tested well
by myself on ARM big.LITTLE TC2 SoC, which has 5 cores (2 A15 and 3 A7). Both
A15's share same struct policy and all A7's share same policy structure.

Initially ondemand governor was written and then using its code conservative
governor is written. It used a lot of code from ondemand governor, but copy of
code was created instead of using the same routines from both governors. Which
increased code redundancy, which is difficult to manage.
This patch is an attempt to move common part of both the governors to
cpufreq_governor.c file to come over above mentioned issues.
This shouldn't change anything from functionality point of view.

Multiple cpufreq governers have defined similar get_cpu_idle_time_***()
routines. These routines must be moved to some common place, so that all
governors can use them.
So moving them to cpufreq_governor.c, which seems to be a better place for
keeping these routines.
