commit 92a3e426ec06e72b1c363179c79d30712447ff76 upstream.

The ACPI specification states that if the "Guaranteed Performance
Register" is not implemented, the OSPM assumes guaranteed performance
to always be equal to nominal performance.

So for invalid or unimplemented guaranteed performance register, use
nominal performance as guaranteed performance.

This change will fall back to nominal_perf when guranteed_perf is
invalid.  If nominal_perf is also invalid or not present, fall back
to the existing implementation, which is to read from HWP Capabilities
MSR.

commit 9505b98ccddc454008ca7efff90044e3e857c827 upstream.

pxa_cpufreq_init_voltages() is marked __init but usually inlined into
the non-__init pxa_cpufreq_init() function. When building with clang,
it can stay as a standalone function in a discarded section, and produce
this warning:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x616a00): Section mismatch in reference from the function pxa_cpufreq_init() to the function .init.text:pxa_cpufreq_init_voltages()
The function pxa_cpufreq_init() references
the function __init pxa_cpufreq_init_voltages().
This is often because pxa_cpufreq_init lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of pxa_cpufreq_init_voltages is wrong.

commit 0334906c06967142c8805fbe88acf787f65d3d26 upstream.

Commit 5ad7346b4ae2 ("cpufreq: kryo: Add module remove and exit") made
it possible to build the kryo cpufreq driver as a module, but it failed
to release all the resources, i.e. OPP tables, when the module is
unloaded.

This patch fixes it by releasing the OPP tables, by calling
dev_pm_opp_put_supported_hw() for them, from the
qcom_cpufreq_kryo_remove() routine. The array of pointers to the OPP
tables is also allocated dynamically now in qcom_cpufreq_kryo_probe(),
as the pointers will be required while releasing the resources.

Compile tested only.

<title>cpufreq: Use struct kobj_attribute instead of struct global_attr</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 625c85a62cb7d3c79f6e16de3cfa972033658250 upstream.

The cpufreq_global_kobject is created using kobject_create_and_add()
helper, which assigns the kobj_type as dynamic_kobj_ktype and show/store
routines are set to kobj_attr_show() and kobj_attr_store().

These routines pass struct kobj_attribute as an argument to the
show/store callbacks. But all the cpufreq files created using the
cpufreq_global_kobject expect the argument to be of type struct
attribute. Things work fine currently as no one accesses the "attr"
argument. We may not see issues even if the argument is used, as struct
kobj_attribute has struct attribute as its first element and so they
will both get same address.

But this is logically incorrect and we should rather use struct
kobj_attribute instead of struct global_attr in the cpufreq core and
drivers and the show/store callbacks should take struct kobj_attribute
as argument instead.

This bug is caught using CFI CLANG builds in android kernel which
catches mismatch in function prototypes for such callbacks.

The scmi-cpufreq driver calls the arch_set_freq_scale() callback on
frequency changes to provide scale-invariant load-tracking signals to
the scheduler. However, in the slow path, it does so while specifying
the current and max frequencies in different units, hence resulting in a
broken freq_scale factor.

Fix this by passing all frequencies in KHz, as stored in the CPUFreq
frequency table.

cpuinfo_cur_freq gets current CPU frequency as detected by hardware
while scaling_cur_freq last known CPU frequency. Some platforms may not
allow checking the CPU frequency of an offline CPU or the associated
resources may have been released via cpufreq_exit when the CPU gets
offlined, in which case the policy would have been invalidated already.
If we attempt to get current frequency from the hardware, it may result
in hang or crash.

For example on Juno, I see:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000188
[0000000000000188] pgd=0000000000000000
Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

So fix the issue by checking if the policy is invalid early in
__cpufreq_get before attempting to get the current frequency.
