[ Upstream commit 51c99dd2c06b234575661fa1e0a1dea6c3ef566f ]

We can not call dev_pm_opp_of_cpumask_remove_table() freely anymore
since the latest OPP core updates as that uses reference counting to
free resources. There are cases where no static OPPs are added (using
DT) for a platform and trying to remove the OPP table may end up
decrementing refcount which is already zero and hence generating
warnings.

Lets track if we were able to add static OPPs or not and then only
remove the table based on that. Some reshuffling of code is also done to
do that.

commit 7fb1327ee9b92fca27662f9b9d60c7c3376d6c69 upstream.

Kernel CPU stats are stored in cputime_t which is an architecture
defined type, and hence a bit opaque and requiring accessors and mutators
for any operation.

Converting them to nsecs simplifies the code and is one step toward
the removal of cputime_t in the core code.

<title>cpufreq: Fix new policy initialization during limits updates via sysfs</title>

commit c7d1f119c48f64bebf0fa1e326af577c6152fe30 upstream.

If the policy limits are updated via cpufreq_update_policy() and
subsequently via sysfs, the limits stored in user_policy may be
set incorrectly.

For example, if both min and max are set via sysfs to the maximum
available frequency, user_policy.min and user_policy.max will also
be the maximum.  If a policy notifier triggered by
cpufreq_update_policy() lowers both the min and the max at this
point, that change is not reflected by the user_policy limits, so
if the max is updated again via sysfs to the same lower value,
then user_policy.max will be lower than user_policy.min which
shouldn't happen.  In particular, if one of the policy CPUs is
then taken offline and back online, cpufreq_set_policy() will
fail for it due to a failing limits check.

To prevent that from happening, initialize the min and max fields
of the new_policy object to the ones stored in user_policy that
were previously set via sysfs.

[ 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.

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
  call_timer_fn+0x50/0x1c0
  expire_timers+0x138/0x1f0
  run_timer_softirq+0x1e8/0x270
  __do_softirq+0x158/0x3e4
  irq_exit+0xe8/0x120
  timer_interrupt+0x9c/0xe0
  decrementer_common+0x114/0x120
  -- interrupt: 901 at doorbell_global_ipi+0x34/0x50
  LR = arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask+0x120/0x130
  arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask+0x4c/0x130
  smp_call_function_many+0x340/0x450
  pmdp_invalidate+0x98/0xe0
  change_huge_pmd+0xe0/0x270
  change_protection_range+0xb88/0xe40
  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 205dcc1ecbc566cbc20acf246e68de3b080b3ecf ]

The target() callback must run on the affected cpu. This is achieved by
temporarily setting the affinity of the calling thread to the requested CPU
and reset it to the original affinity afterwards.

That's racy vs. concurrent affinity settings for that thread resulting in
code executing on the wrong CPU.

Replace it by work_on_cpu(). All call pathes which invoke the callbacks are
already protected against CPU hotplug.

<title>cpufreq: s3c24xx: Fix broken s3c_cpufreq_init()</title>

commit 0373ca74831b0f93cd4cdbf7ad3aec3c33a479a5 upstream.

commit a307a1e6bc0d "cpufreq: s3c: use cpufreq_generic_init()"
accidentally broke cpufreq on s3c2410 and s3c2412.

These two platforms don't have a CPU frequency table and used to skip
calling cpufreq_table_validate_and_show() for them.  But with the
above commit, we started calling it unconditionally and that will
eventually fail as the frequency table pointer is NULL.

Fix this by calling cpufreq_table_validate_and_show() conditionally
again.
