commit 6066998cbd2b1012a8d5bc9a2957cfd0ad53150e upstream.

mediatek projects will use mediate-cpufreq.c as cpufreq driver,
instead of using cpufreq_dt.c
Add mediatek related projects into cpufreq-dt blacklist

After commit aa7519af450d (cpufreq: Use transition_delay_us for legacy
governors as well) the sampling_rate field of struct dbs_data may be
less than the tick period which causes dbs_update() to produce
incorrect results, so make the code ensure that the value of that
field will always be sufficiently large.

<title>cpufreq: imx6q: fix speed grading regression on i.MX6 QuadPlus</title>

<id>ccc153a6de1f7741b5ef7c996f9be133772b2092</id>
<content type='text'>
The commit moving the speed grading check to the cpufreq driver introduced
some additional checks, so the OPP disable is only attempted on SoCs where
those OPPs are present. The compatible checks are missing the QuadPlus
compatible, so invalid OPPs are not correctly disabled there.

Move both checks to a single condition, so we don't need to sprinkle even
more calls to of_machine_is_compatible().

<title>cpufreq: Add Loongson machine dependencies</title>

<id>0d307935fefa6389eb726c6362351c162c949101</id>
<content type='text'>
The MIPS loongson cpufreq drivers don't build unless configured for the
correct machine type, due to dependency on machine specific architecture
headers and symbols in machine specific platform code.

More specifically loongson1-cpufreq.c uses RST_CPU_EN and RST_CPU,
neither of which is defined in asm/mach-loongson32/regs-clk.h unless
CONFIG_LOONGSON1_LS1B=y, and loongson2_cpufreq.c references
loongson2_clockmod_table[], which is only defined in
arch/mips/loongson64/lemote-2f/clock.c, i.e. when
CONFIG_LEMOTE_MACH2F=y.

Add these dependencies to Kconfig to avoid randconfig / allyesconfig
build failures (e.g. when based on BMIPS which also has a cpufreq
driver).

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "There are no real big ticket items here this time.

  The most noticeable change is probably the relocation of the OPP
  (Operating Performance Points) framework to its own directory under
  drivers/ as it has grown big enough for that. Also Viresh is now going
  to maintain it and send pull requests for it to me, so you will see
  this change in the git history going forward (but still not right
  now).

  Another noticeable set of changes is the modifications of the PM core,
  the PCI subsystem and the ACPI PM domain to allow of more integration
  between system-wide suspend/resume and runtime PM. For now it's just a
  way to avoid resuming devices from runtime suspend unnecessarily
  during system suspend (if the driver sets a flag to indicate its
  readiness for that) and in the works is an analogous mechanism to
  allow devices to stay suspended after system resume.

  In addition to that, we have some changes related to supporting
  frequency-invariant CPU utilization metrics in the scheduler and in
  the schedutil cpufreq governor on ARM and changes to add support for
  device performance states to the generic power domains (genpd)
  framework.

  The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups of various sorts.

  Specifics:

   - Relocate the OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework to its
     own directory under drivers/ and add support for power domain
     performance states to it (Viresh Kumar).

   - Modify the PM core, the PCI bus type and the ACPI PM domain to
     support power management driver flags allowing device drivers to
     specify their capabilities and preferences regarding the handling
     of devices with enabled runtime PM during system suspend/resume and
     clean up that code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson).

   - Add frequency-invariant accounting support to the task scheduler on
     ARM and ARM64 (Dietmar Eggemann).

   - Fix PM QoS device resume latency framework to prevent "no
     restriction" requests from overriding requests with specific
     requirements and drop the confusing PM_QOS_FLAG_REMOTE_WAKEUP
     device PM QoS flag (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Drop legacy class suspend/resume operations from the PM core and
     drop legacy bus type suspend and resume callbacks from ARM/locomo
     (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add min/max frequency support to devfreq and clean it up somewhat
     (Chanwoo Choi).

   - Rework wakeup support in the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework and update some of its users accordingly (Geert
     Uytterhoeven).

   - Convert timers in the PM core to use timer_setup() (Kees Cook).

   - Add support for exposing the SLP_S0 (Low Power S0 Idle) residency
     counter based on the LPIT ACPI table on Intel platforms (Srinivas
     Pandruvada).

   - Add per-CPU PM QoS resume latency support to the ladder cpuidle
     governor (Ramesh Thomas).

   - Fix a deadlock between the wakeup notify handler and the notifier
     removal in the ACPI core (Ville Syrjälä).

   - Fix a cpufreq schedutil governor issue causing it to use stale
     cached frequency values sometimes (Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix an issue in the system suspend core support code causing wakeup
     events detection to fail in some cases (Rajat Jain).

   - Fix the generic power domains (genpd) framework to prevent the PM
     core from using the direct-complete optimization with it as that is
     guaranteed to fail (Ulf Hansson).

   - Fix a minor issue in the cpuidle core and clean it up a bit (Gaurav
     Jindal, Nicholas Piggin).

   - Fix and clean up the intel_idle and ARM cpuidle drivers (Jason
     Baron, Len Brown, Leo Yan).

   - Fix a couple of minor issues in the OPP framework and clean it up
     (Arvind Yadav, Fabio Estevam, Sudeep Holla, Tobias Jordan).

   - Fix and clean up some cpufreq drivers and fix a minor issue in the
     cpufreq statistics code (Arvind Yadav, Bhumika Goyal, Fabio
     Estevam, Gautham Shenoy, Gustavo Silva, Marek Szyprowski, Masahiro
     Yamada, Robert Jarzmik, Zumeng Chen).

   - Fix minor issues in the system suspend and hibernation core, in
     power management documentation and in the AVS (Adaptive Voltage
     Scaling) framework (Helge Deller, Himanshu Jha, Joe Perches, Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - Fix some issues in the cpupower utility and document that Shuah
     Khan is going to maintain it going forward (Prarit Bhargava, Shuah
     Khan)"

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Yet another big pile of changes:

   - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
     need to think about the syscalls themself.

   - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
     only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
     than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
     multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
     time at the call site.

   - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
     work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.

   - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
     collected here because either maintainers requested so or they

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Yet another big pile of changes:

   - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
     need to think about the syscalls themself.

   - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
     only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
     than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
     multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
     time at the call site.

   - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
     work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.

     collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
     simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few

On platforms with large number of Pstates, the transition table, which
is a NxN matrix, can overflow beyond the PAGE_SIZE boundary.

This can be seen on POWER9 which has 100+ Pstates.

As a result, each time the trans_table is read for any of the CPUs, we
will get the following error.

---------------------------------------------------
fill_read_buffer: show+0x0/0xa0 returned bad count
---------------------------------------------------

This patch ensures that in case of an overflow, we print a warning
once in the dmesg and return FILE TOO LARGE error for this and all
subsequent accesses of trans_table.

Make these const as they are only getting passed to the functions
bL_cpufreq_{register/unregister} having the arguments as const.
