commit 2c1b5a84669d2477d8fffe9136e86a2cff591729 upstream.

When I hot added a CPU, I found 'cpufreq' directory was not created
below /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/.

It is because get_cpu_device() failed in add_cpu_dev_symlink().

cpufreq_add_dev() is the .add_dev callback of a CPU subsys interface.
It will be called when the CPU device registered into the system.
The call chain is as follows:

  register_cpu()
  -&gt;device_register()
   -&gt;device_add()
    -&gt;bus_probe_device()
     -&gt;cpufreq_add_dev()

But only after the CPU device has been registered, we can get the
CPU device by get_cpu_device(), otherwise it will return NULL.

Since we already have the CPU device in cpufreq_add_dev(), pass
it to add_cpu_dev_symlink().

I noticed that the 'kobj' of the CPU device has been added into
the system before cpufreq_add_dev().

[ Upstream commit cdef1196608892b9a46caa5f2b64095a7f0be60c ]

Since commit e5c6b312ce3c ("cpufreq: schedutil: Use kobject release()
method to free sugov_tunables") kobject_put() has kfree()d the
attr_set before gov_attr_set_put() returns.

kobject_put() isn't the last user of attr_set in gov_attr_set_put(),
the subsequent mutex_destroy() triggers a use-after-free:

commit f34ee9cb2c5ac5af426fee6fa4591a34d187e696 upstream.

In the numa=off kernel command-line configuration init_chip_info() loops
around the number of chips and attempts to copy the cpumask of that node
which is NULL for all iterations after the first chip.

Hence, store the cpu mask for each chip instead of derving cpumask from
node while populating the "chips" struct array and copy that to the
chips[i].mask

[ Upstream commit 484f2b7c61b9ae58cc00c5127bcbcd9177af8dfe ]

The 1.2 GHz variant of the Armada 3720 SOC is unstable with DVFS: when
the SOC boots, the WTMI firmware sets clocks and AVS values that work
correctly with 1.2 GHz CPU frequency, but random crashes occur once
cpufreq driver starts scaling.

We do not know currently what is the reason:
- it may be that the voltage value for L0 for 1.2 GHz variant provided
  by the vendor in the OTP is simply incorrect when scaling is used,
- it may be that some delay is needed somewhere,
- it may be something else.

The most sane solution now seems to be to simply forbid the cpufreq
driver on 1.2 GHz variant.

In the CPU removal path the -&gt;offline() callback provided by the
driver is always invoked before -&gt;exit(), but in the cpufreq_online()
error path it is not, so -&gt;exit() is expected to somehow know the
context in which it has been called and act accordingly.

That is less than straightforward, so make cpufreq_online() invoke
the driver's -&gt;offline() callback, if present, on errors before
-&gt;exit() too.

This only potentially affects intel_pstate.

Commit 8db82563451f ("cpufreq: armada-37xx: fix frequency calculation for

function call. But the code for dev_pm_opp_remove() function call was not
updated, so the driver cleanup phase does not work when registration fails.

This fixes the issue by using the same frequency in both calls.

[ Upstream commit d118ac2062b5b8331c8768ac81e016617e0996ee ]

The original CPU voltage value for load L1 is too low for Armada 37xx SoC
when base CPU frequency is 1000 or 1200 MHz. It leads to instabilities
where CPU gets stuck soon after dynamic voltage scaling from load L1 to L0.

Update the CPU voltage value for load L1 accordingly when base frequency is
1000 or 1200 MHz. The minimal L1 value for base CPU frequency 1000 MHz is
updated from the original 1.05V to 1.108V and for 1200 MHz is updated to
1.155V. This minimal L1 value is used only in the case when it is lower
than value for L0.

This change fixes CPU instability issues on 1 GHz and 1.2 GHz variants of
Espressobin and 1 GHz Turris Mox.

Marvell previously for 1 GHz variant of Espressobin provided a patch [1]
suitable only for their Marvell Linux kernel 4.4 fork which workarounded
this issue. Patch forced CPU voltage value to 1.108V in all loads. But
such change does not fix CPU instability issues on 1.2 GHz variants of
Armada 3720 SoC.

During testing we come to the conclusion that using 1.108V as minimal
value for L1 load makes 1 GHz variants of Espressobin and Turris Mox boards
stable. And similarly 1.155V for 1.2 GHz variant of Espressobin.

These two values 1.108V and 1.155V are documented in Armada 3700 Hardware
Specifications as typical initial CPU voltage values.

Discussion about this issue is also at the Armbian forum [2].

<title>cpufreq: armada-37xx: Fix setting TBG parent for load levels</title>

[ Upstream commit 22592df194e31baf371906cc720da38fa0ab68f5 ]

With CPU frequency determining software [1] we have discovered that
after this driver does one CPU frequency change, the base frequency of
the CPU is set to the frequency of TBG-A-P clock, instead of the TBG
that is parent to the CPU.

This can be reproduced on EspressoBIN and Turris MOX:
  cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0
  echo powersave &gt;scaling_governor
  echo performance &gt;scaling_governor

Running the mhz tool before this driver is loaded reports 1000 MHz, and
after loading the driver and executing commands above the tool reports
800 MHz.

The change of TBG clock selector is supposed to happen in function
armada37xx_cpufreq_dvfs_setup. Before the function returns, it does
this:
  parent = clk_get_parent(clk);
  clk_set_parent(clk, parent);

The armada-37xx-periph clock driver has the .set_parent method
implemented correctly for this, so if the method was actually called,
this would work. But since the introduction of the common clock
framework in commit b2476490ef11 ("clk: introduce the common clock..."),
the clk_set_parent function checks whether the parent is actually
changing, and if the requested new parent is same as the old parent
(which is obviously the case for the code above), the .set_parent method
is not called at all.

This patch fixes this issue by filling the correct TBG clock selector
directly in the armada37xx_cpufreq_dvfs_setup during the filling of
other registers at the same address. But the determination of CPU TBG
index cannot be done via the common clock framework, therefore we need
to access the North Bridge Peripheral Clock registers directly in this
driver.

[ Upstream commit fbb31cb805fd3574d3be7defc06a7fd2fd9af7d2 ]

Add "arm,vexpress" to cpufreq-dt-platdev blacklist since the actual
scaling is handled by the firmware cpufreq drivers(scpi, scmi and
vexpress-spc).
