[ Upstream commit b24b6478e65f140610ab1ffaadc7bc6bf0be8aad ]

Ideally the de-allocation of resources should happen in the exact
opposite order in which they were allocated. It helps maintain the code
in long term, even if nothing really breaks with incorrect ordering.

That wasn't followed in cpufreq_online() and it has some
inconsistencies.  For example, the symlinks were created from within
the locked region while they are removed only after putting the locks.
Also -&gt;exit() should have been called only after the symlinks are
removed and the lock is dropped, as that was the case when -&gt;init()
was first called.

[ Upstream commit 8913315e9459b146e5888ab5138e10daa061b885 ]

When multiple CPUs are related in one cpufreq policy, the first online
CPU will be chosen by default to handle cpufreq operations. Let's take
cpu0 and cpu1 as an example.

When cpu0 is offline, policy-&gt;cpu will be shifted to cpu1. cpu1's perf
capabilities should be initialized. Otherwise, perf capabilities are 0s
and speed change can not take effect.

This patch copies perf capabilities of the first online CPU to other
shared CPUs when policy shared type is CPUFREQ_SHARED_TYPE_ANY.

<title>cpufreq: powernv: Fix hardlockup due to synchronous smp_call in timer interrupt</title>

commit c0f7f5b6c69107ca92909512533e70258ee19188 upstream.

gpstate_timer_handler() uses synchronous smp_call to set the pstate
on the requested core. This causes the below hard lockup:

  smp_call_function_single+0x110/0x180 (unreliable)
  smp_call_function_any+0x180/0x250
  gpstate_timer_handler+0x1e8/0x580

  mprotect_fixup+0x140/0x340
  SyS_mprotect+0x1b4/0x350
  system_call+0x58/0x6c

One way to avoid this is removing the smp-call. We can ensure that the
timer always runs on one of the policy-cpus. If the timer gets
migrated to a cpu outside the policy then re-queue it back on the
policy-&gt;cpus. This way we can get rid of the smp-call which was being
used to set the pstate on the policy-&gt;cpus.

[ Upstream commit 70f6bf2a3b7e40c3f802b0ea837762a8bc6c1430 ]

When maxcpus=1 is in the kernel command line, the BP is responsible
for re-enabling the HWP - because currently only the APs invoke
intel_pstate_hwp_enable() during their online process - which might
put the system into unstable state after resume.

Fix this by enabling the HWP explicitly on BP during resume.

commit 3d41386d556db9f720e00de3e11e45f39cb5071c upstream.

With commit e948bc8fbee0 (cpufreq: Cap the default transition delay
value to 10 ms)  the cpufreq was not honouring the delay passed via
ACPI (PCCT). Due to which on ARM based platforms using CPPC the
cpufreq governor tries to change the frequency of CPUs faster than
expected.

This leads to continuous error messages like the following.
" ACPI CPPC: PCC check channel failed. Status=0 "

Earlier (without above commit) the default transition delay was
taken form the value passed from PCCT. Use the same value provided
by PCCT to set the transition_delay_us.

[ Upstream commit ee1f4a7dafa997816ff3de96155c6f3edc21c1e6 ]

On POWERNV platform, the fields for pstates in the Power Management
Status Register (PMSR) and the Power Management Control Register
(PMCR) are 8-bits wide. On POWER8 the pstates are negatively numbered
while on POWER9 they are positively numbered.

The device-tree exports pstates as 32-bit entries. The device-tree
implementation sign-extends the 8-bit pstate values to obtain the
corresponding 32-bit entry.

Eg: On POWER8, a pstate value 0x82 [-126] is represented in the
device-tree as 0xfffffff82 while on POWER9, the same value 0x82 [130]
is represented in the device-tree as 0x00000082.

The powernv-cpufreq driver implementation represents pstates using the
integer type. In multiple places in the driver, the code interprets
the pstates extracted from the PMSR as a signed byte and assigns it to
a integer variable to get the sign-extention.

On POWER9 platforms which have greater than 128 pstates, this results
in the driver performing incorrect sign-extention, and thereby
treating a legitimate pstate (say 130) as an invalid pstates (since it
is interpreted as -126).

This patch fixes the issue by implementing a helper function to
extract Pstates from PMSR register, and correctly sign-extend it to be
consistent with the values provided by the device-tree.

[ Upstream commit ee1f4a7dafa997816ff3de96155c6f3edc21c1e6 ]

On POWERNV platform, the fields for pstates in the Power Management
Status Register (PMSR) and the Power Management Control Register
(PMCR) are 8-bits wide. On POWER8 the pstates are negatively numbered
while on POWER9 they are positively numbered.

The device-tree exports pstates as 32-bit entries. The device-tree
implementation sign-extends the 8-bit pstate values to obtain the
corresponding 32-bit entry.

Eg: On POWER8, a pstate value 0x82 [-126] is represented in the
device-tree as 0xfffffff82 while on POWER9, the same value 0x82 [130]
is represented in the device-tree as 0x00000082.

The powernv-cpufreq driver implementation represents pstates using the
integer type. In multiple places in the driver, the code interprets
the pstates extracted from the PMSR as a signed byte and assigns it to
a integer variable to get the sign-extention.

This reverts commit 0049457bfde661cf47410eaacad65845c9a2bb45 which was
commit a8b149d32b663c1a4105273295184b78f53d33cf upstream.

The backport was not correct, so just drop it entirely.

<title>cpufreq: longhaul: Revert transition_delay_us to 200 ms</title>

[ Upstream commit 1d0d064307cbfd8546841f6e9d94d02c55e45e1e ]

The commit e948bc8fbee0 ("cpufreq: Cap the default transition delay
value to 10 ms") caused a regression on EPIA-M min-ITX computer where
shutdown or reboot hangs occasionally with a print message like:

longhaul: Warning: Timeout while waiting for idle PCI bus
cpufreq: __target_index: Failed to change cpu frequency: -16

This probably happens because the cpufreq governor tries to change the
frequency of the CPU faster than allowed by the hardware.

Before the above commit, the default transition delay was set to 200 ms
for a transition_latency of 200000 ns. Lets revert back to that
transition delay value to fix it. Note that several other transition
delay values were tested like 20 ms and 30 ms and none of them have
resolved system hang issue completely.

Fixes: e948bc8fbee0 (cpufreq: Cap the default transition delay value to 10 ms)

[ Upstream commit a8b149d32b663c1a4105273295184b78f53d33cf ]

It is possible to remove a cpufreq governor module after
cpufreq_parse_governor() has returned success in
store_scaling_governor() and before cpufreq_set_policy()
acquires a reference to it, because the governor list is
not protected during that period and nothing prevents the
governor from being unregistered then.

Prevent that from happening by acquiring an extra reference
to the governor module temporarily in cpufreq_parse_governor(),
under cpufreq_governor_mutex, and dropping it in
store_scaling_governor(), when cpufreq_set_policy() returns.

Note that the second cpufreq_parse_governor() call site is fine,
because it only cares about the policy member of new_policy.
