commit c75de0ac0756d4b442f460e10461720c7c2412c2 upstream.

All CPUs leaving the first-online CPU are hotplugged out on suspend and
and cpufreq core stops managing them.

On resume, we need to call cpufreq_update_policy() for this CPU's policy
to make sure its frequency is in sync with cpufreq's cached value, as it
might have got updated by hardware during suspend/resume.

The policies are always added to the top of the policy-list. So, in
normal circumstances, CPU 0's policy will be the last one in the list.
And so the code checks for the last policy.

But there are cases where it will fail. Consider quad-core system, with
policy-per core. If CPU0 is hotplugged out and added back again, the
last policy will be on CPU1 :(

To fix this in a proper way, always look for the policy of the first
online CPU. That way we will be sure that we are calling
cpufreq_update_policy() for the only CPU that wasn't hotplugged out.

Commit 32726d2d550 ("ARM: SAMSUNG: Remove legacy clock code")
already removed the callback pointer, but there was one remaining
user:

drivers/cpufreq/s3c24xx-cpufreq.c:149:14: error: 'struct s3c_cpufreq_info' has no member named 'resume_clocks'

commit 61882b63171736571e1139ab5aa929e3bb336016 upstream.

The two functions s3c2416_cpufreq_driver_init and s3c_cpufreq_register
are marked init but are called from a context that might be run after
the __init sections are discarded, as the compiler points out:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x1ad9dc): Section mismatch in reference from the variable s3c2416_cpufreq_driver to the function .init.text:s3c2416_cpufreq_driver_init()
WARNING: drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x35b5dc): Section mismatch in reference from the function s3c2410a_cpufreq_add() to the function .init.text:s3c_cpufreq_register()

This removes the __init markings.

<title>cpufreq: speedstep-smi: enable interrupts when waiting</title>

commit d4d4eda23794c701442e55129dd4f8f2fefd5e4d upstream.

On Dell Latitude C600 laptop with Pentium 3 850MHz processor, the
speedstep-smi driver sometimes loads and sometimes doesn't load with
"change to state X failed" message.

The hardware sometimes refuses to change frequency and in this case, we
need to retry later. I found out that we need to enable interrupts while
waiting. When we enable interrupts, the hardware blockage that prevents
frequency transition resolves and the transition is possible. With
disabled interrupts, the blockage doesn't resolve (no matter how long do
we wait). The exact reasons for this hardware behavior are unknown.

This patch enables interrupts in the function speedstep_set_state that can
be called with disabled interrupts. However, this function is called with
disabled interrupts only from speedstep_get_freqs, so it shouldn't cause
any problem.

<title>cpufreq: Set cpufreq_cpu_data to NULL before putting kobject</title>

commit 6ffae8c06fab058d6c3f8ecb7f921327721034e7 upstream.

In __cpufreq_remove_dev_finish(), per-cpu 'cpufreq_cpu_data' needs
to be cleared before calling kobject_put(&amp;policy-&gt;kobj) and under
cpufreq_driver_lock. Otherwise, if someone else calls cpufreq_cpu_get()
in parallel with it, they can obtain a non-NULL policy from that after
kobject_put(&amp;policy-&gt;kobj) was executed.

Consider this case:

Thread A				Thread B
cpufreq_cpu_get()
  acquire cpufreq_driver_lock
  read-per-cpu cpufreq_cpu_data
					kobject_put(&amp;policy-&gt;kobj);
  kobject_get(&amp;policy-&gt;kobj);
					...
					per_cpu(&amp;cpufreq_cpu_data, cpu) = NULL

And this will result in a warning like this one:

 ---[ end trace 89e66eb9795efdf7 ]---

The actual code flow is as follows:

 Thread A: Workqueue: kacpi_notify

 acpi_processor_notify()
   acpi_processor_ppc_has_changed()
         cpufreq_update_policy()
           cpufreq_cpu_get()
             kobject_get()

 Thread B: xenbus_thread()

 xenbus_thread()
   msg-&gt;u.watch.handle-&gt;callback()
     handle_vcpu_hotplug_event()
       vcpu_hotplug()
         cpu_down()
           __cpu_notify(CPU_POST_DEAD..)
             cpufreq_cpu_callback()
               __cpufreq_remove_dev_finish()
                 cpufreq_policy_put_kobj()
                   kobject_put()

cpufreq_cpu_get() gets the policy from per-cpu variable cpufreq_cpu_data
under cpufreq_driver_lock, and once it gets a valid policy it expects it
to not be freed until cpufreq_cpu_put() is called.

But the race happens when another thread puts the kobject first and updates
cpufreq_cpu_data before or later. And so the first thread gets a valid policy
structure and before it does kobject_get() on it, the second one has already
done kobject_put().

Fix this by setting cpufreq_cpu_data to NULL before putting the kobject and that
too under locks.

If ACPI _PPC changed notification happens before governor was initiated
while kernel is booting, a NULL pointer dereference will be triggered:

I'm leaving Red Hat at the end of December 2014, so remove all
references to my soon-to-be-dead address.

(There are some references left in the tree, that need additional
changes, I'll send those through the AGP maintainers).

Pull more ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are regression fixes (leds-gpio, ACPI backlight driver,
  operating performance points library, ACPI device enumeration
  messages, cpupower tool), other bug fixes (ACPI EC driver, ACPI device
  PM), some cleanups in the operating performance points (OPP)
  framework, continuation of CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME elimination, a couple of
  minor intel_pstate driver changes, a new MAINTAINERS entry for it and
  an ACPI fan driver change needed for better support of thermal
  management in user space.

  Specifics:

   - Fix a regression in leds-gpio introduced by a recent commit that
     inadvertently changed the name of one of the properties used by the
     driver (Fabio Estevam).

   - Fix a regression in the ACPI backlight driver introduced by a
     recent fix that missed one special case that had to be taken into
     account (Aaron Lu).

   - Drop the level of some new kernel messages from the ACPI core
     introduced by a recent commit to KERN_DEBUG which they should have
     used from the start and drop some other unuseful KERN_ERR messages
     printed by ACPI (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - Revert an incorrect commit modifying the cpupower tool (Prarit
     Bhargava).

   - Fix two regressions introduced by recent commits in the OPP library
     and clean up some existing minor issues in that code (Viresh
     Kumar).

   - Continue to replace CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME with CONFIG_PM throughout the
     tree (or drop it where that can be done) in order to make it
     possible to eliminate CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME (Rafael J Wysocki, Ulf
     Hansson, Ludovic Desroches).

     There will be one more "CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME removal" batch after this
     one, because some new uses of it have been introduced during the
     current merge window, but that should be sufficient to finally get
     rid of it.

   - Make the ACPI EC driver more robust against race conditions related
     to GPE handler installation failures (Lv Zheng).

   - Prevent the ACPI device PM core code from attempting to disable
     GPEs that it has not enabled which confuses ACPICA and makes it
     report errors unnecessarily (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - Add a "force" command line switch to the intel_pstate driver to
     make it possible to override the blacklisting of some systems in
     that driver if needed (Ethan Zhao).

   - Improve intel_pstate code documentation and add a MAINTAINERS entry
     for it (Kristen Carlson Accardi).

   - Make the ACPI fan driver create cooling device interfaces witn
     names that reflect the IDs of the ACPI device objects they are
     associated with, except for "generic" ACPI fans (PNP ID "PNP0C0B").

     That's necessary for user space thermal management tools to be able
     to connect the fans with the parts of the system they are supposed
     to be cooling properly.  From Srinivas Pandruvada"

cpufreq-dt driver supports mode when OPP table is provided by platform
code and not device tree. However on certain platforms code that fills
OPP table may run after cpufreq driver tries to initialize, so let's
report -EPROBE_DEFER if we do not find any entires in OPP table for the
CPU.
