<id>7e270e86b1b3b84eba796b9f56b01589d29ac56b</id>

commit 10470dec3decaf5ed3c596f85debd7c42777ae12 upstream.

Commit 0c868627e617e43a295d8 (cpufreq: dt: Allow platform specific
intermediate callbacks) added two function pointers to the
struct cpufreq_dt_platform_data. However, armada37xx_cpufreq_driver_init()
has this struct (pdata) located on the stack and uses only "suspend"
and "resume" fields. So these newly added "get_intermediate" and
"target_intermediate" pointers are uninitialized and contain arbitrary
non-null values, causing all kinds of trouble.

For instance, here is an oops on espressobin after an attempt to change
the cpefreq governor:

[   29.174554] Unable to handle kernel execute from non-executable memory at virtual address ffff00003f87bdc0
...
[   29.269373] pc : 0xffff00003f87bdc0
[   29.272957] lr : __cpufreq_driver_target+0x138/0x580
...

Fixed by zeroing out pdata before use.

commit 8cc46ae565c393f77417cb9530b1265eb50f5d2e upstream.

The locking around governors handling isn't adequate currently.

The list of governors should never be traversed without the locking
in place. Also governor modules must not be removed while the code
in them is still in use.

The Armada 8K cpufreq driver needs the Armada AP CPU CLK

the ARMADA_AP_CPU_CLK can not be selected independently.

commit 552abb884e97d26589964e5a8c7e736f852f95f0 upstream.

After commit 18c49926c4bf ("cpufreq: Add QoS requests for userspace
constraints") the return value of freq_qos_update_request(), that can
be 1, passed by cpufreq_boost_set_sw() to its caller sometimes
confuses the latter, which only expects to see 0 or negative error
codes, so notice that cpufreq_boost_set_sw() can return an error code
(which should not be -EINVAL for that matter) as soon as the first
policy without a frequency table is found (because either all policies
have a frequency table or none of them have it) and rework it to meet
its caller's expectations.

commit d0a72efac89d1c35ac55197895201b7b94c5e6ef upstream.

The cpufreq driver has a use-after-free that we can hit if:

a) There's an OCC message pending when the notifier is registered, and
b) The cpufreq driver fails to register with the core.

When a) occurs the notifier schedules a workqueue item to handle the
message. The backing work_struct is located on chips[].throttle and
when b) happens we clean up by freeing the array. Once we get to
the (now free) queued item and the kernel crashes.

[ Upstream commit 36eb7dc1bd42fe5f850329c893768ff89b696fba ]

imx6ul_opp_check_speed_grading is called for both i.MX6UL and i.MX6ULL.
Since the i.MX6ULL was introduced to a separate ocotp compatible node
later, it is possible that the i.MX6ULL has also dtbs with
"fsl,imx6ull-ocotp". On a system without nvmem-cell speed grade a
missing check on this node causes a driver fail without considering
the cpu speed grade.

This patch prevents unwanted cpu overclocking on i.MX6ULL with compatible
node "fsl,imx6ull-ocotp" in old dtbs without nvmem-cell speed grade.

commit f5739cb0b56590d68d8df8a44659893b6d0084c3 upstream.

Before commit 1e4f63aecb53 ("cpufreq: Avoid creating excessively
large stack frames") the initial value of the policy field in struct
cpufreq_policy set by the driver's -&gt;init() callback was implicitly
passed from cpufreq_init_policy() to cpufreq_set_policy() if the
default governor was neither "performance" nor "powersave".  After
that commit, however, cpufreq_init_policy() must take that case into
consideration explicitly and handle it as appropriate, so make that
happen.

commit 1e4f63aecb53e48468661e922fc2fa3b83e55722 upstream.

In the process of modifying a cpufreq policy, the cpufreq core makes
a copy of it including all of the internals which is stored on the
CPU stack.  Because struct cpufreq_policy is relatively large, this
may cause the size of the stack frame to exceed the 2 KB limit and
so the GCC complains when -Wframe-larger-than= is used.

In fact, it is not necessary to copy the entire policy structure
in order to modify it, however.

First, because cpufreq_set_policy() obtains the min and max policy
limits from frequency QoS now, it is not necessary to pass the limits
to it from the callers.  The only things that need to be passed to it
from there are the new governor pointer or (if there is a built-in
governor in the driver) the "policy" value representing the governor
choice.  They both can be passed as individual arguments, though, so
make cpufreq_set_policy() take them this way and rework its callers
accordingly.  This avoids making copies of cpufreq policies in the
callers of cpufreq_set_policy().

Second, cpufreq_set_policy() still needs to pass the new policy
data to the -&gt;verify() callback of the cpufreq driver whose task
is to sanitize the min and max policy limits.  It still does not
need to make a full copy of struct cpufreq_policy for this purpose,
but it needs to pass a few items from it to the driver in case they
are needed (different drivers have different needs in that respect
and all of them have to be covered).  For this reason, introduce
struct cpufreq_policy_data to hold copies of the members of
struct cpufreq_policy used by the existing -&gt;verify() driver
callbacks and pass a pointer to a temporary structure of that
type to -&gt;verify() (instead of passing a pointer to full struct
cpufreq_policy to it).

While at it, notice that intel_pstate and longrun don't really need
to verify the "policy" value in struct cpufreq_policy, so drop those
check from them to avoid copying "policy" into struct
cpufreq_policy_data (which allows it to be slightly smaller).

Also while at it fix up white space in a couple of places and make
cpufreq_set_policy() static (as it can be so).
