[ Upstream commit febab20caebac959fdc3d7520bc52de8b1184455 ]

When amd_pstate is running, writing to scaling_min_freq and
scaling_max_freq has no effect. These values are only passed to the
policy level, but not to the platform level. This means that the
platform does not know about the frequency limits set by the user.

To fix this, update the min_perf and max_perf values at the platform
level whenever the user changes the scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq
values.

[ Upstream commit 2e4e0984c7d696cc74cf2fd7e7f62997f0e9ebe6 ]

For a 900MHz i.MX6ULL CPU the 792MHz OPP is disabled. There is no
convincing reason to disable this OPP. If a CPU can run at 900MHz,
it should also be able to cope with 792MHz. Looking at the voltage
level of 792MHz in [1] (page 24, table 10. "Operating Ranges") the
current defined OPP is above the minimum. So the voltage level
shouldn't be a problem. However in [2] (page 24, table 10.
"Operating Ranges"), it is not mentioned that 792MHz OPP isn't
allowed. Change it to only disable 792MHz OPP for i.MX6ULL types
below 792 MHz.

commit bb87be267b8ee9b40917fb5bf51be5ddb33c37c2 upstream.

cpufreq_driver-&gt;fast_switch() callback expects a frequency as a return
value. amd_pstate_fast_switch() was returning the return value of
amd_pstate_update_freq(), which only indicates a success or failure.

Fix this by making amd_pstate_fast_switch() return the target_freq
when the call to amd_pstate_update_freq() is successful, and return
the current frequency from policy-&gt;cur when the call to
amd_pstate_update_freq() is unsuccessful.

commit ea167a7fc2426f7685c3735e104921c1a20a6d3f upstream.

Commit 3c0897c180c6 ("cpufreq: Use scnprintf() for avoiding potential
buffer overflow") switched from snprintf to the more secure scnprintf
but never updated the exit condition for PAGE_SIZE.

As the commit say and as scnprintf document, what scnprintf returns what
is actually written not counting the '\0' end char. This results in the
case of len exceeding the size, len set to PAGE_SIZE - 1, as it can be
written at max PAGE_SIZE - 1 (as '\0' is not counted)

Because of len is never set to PAGE_SIZE, the function never break early,
never prints the warning and never return -EFBIG.

Fix this by changing the condition to PAGE_SIZE - 1 to correctly trigger
the error.

<title>cpufreq: Support per-policy performance boost</title>

<content type='text'>
The boost control currently applies to the whole system.  However, users
may prefer to boost a subset of cores in order to provide prioritized
performance to workloads running on the boosted cores.

Enable per-policy boost by adding a 'boost' sysfs interface under each
policy path.  This can be found at:

	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy&lt;*&gt;/boost

Same to the global boost switch, writing 1/0 to the per-policy 'boost'
enables/disables boost on a cpufreq policy respectively.

The user view of global and per-policy boost controls should be:

1. Enabling global boost initially enables boost on all policies, and
per-policy boost can then be enabled or disabled individually, given that
the platform does support so.

2. Disabling global boost makes the per-policy boost interface illegal.

pcc_cpufreq_target():

	spin_lock(&amp;pcc_lock);
	[critical section]
	cpufreq_freq_transition_end();
	spin_unlock(&amp;pcc_lock);

Above code has a performance issue, consider that Task0 executes
'cpufreq_freq_transition_end()' to wake Task1 and preempted imediatedly
without releasing 'pcc_lock', then Task1 needs to wait for Task0 to
release 'pcc_lock'. In the worst case, this locking order can result in
Task1 wasting two scheduling rounds before it can enter the critical
section.

Due to the kobject embedded in the dbs_data doest not has a release()
method yet, it needs to use kfree() to free dbs_data directly when
governor fails to allocate the tunner field of dbs_data.

<title>cpufreq: Fix the race condition while updating the transition_task of policy</title>

The field 'transition_task' of policy structure is used to track the
task which is performing the frequency transition. Using this field to
print a warning once detect a case where the same task is calling
_begin() again before completing the preivous frequency transition via
the _end().

However, there is a potential race condition in _end() and _begin() APIs
while updating the field 'transition_task' of policy, the scenario is
depicted below:

             Task A                            Task B

        /* 1st freq transition */
        Invoke _begin() {
                ...
                ...
        }
                                        /* 2nd freq transition */
                                        Invoke _begin() {
                                                ... //waiting for A to
                                                ... //clear
                                                ... //transition_ongoing
                                                ... //in _end() for
                                                ... //the 1st transition
                                                        |
        Change the frequency                            |
                                                        |
        Invoke _end() {                                 |
                ...                                     |
                ...                                     |
                transition_ongoing = false;             V
                                                transition_ongoing = true;
                                                transition_task = current;
                transition_task = NULL;
                ... //A overwrites the task
                ... //performing the transition
                ... //result in error warning.
        }

To fix this race condition, the transition_lock of policy structure is
now acquired before updating policy structure in _end() API. Which ensure
that only one task can update the 'transition_task' field at a time.
