ARM: ux500: cpuidle: fix section mismatch

2015-10-28T15:38:38+00:00

commit 2c2b24d9c3e96d5cf974be4559a936e7f3b50225 upstream.

The dbx500_cpuidle_probe is tagged as an __init section but the variable
dbx500_cpuidle_plat_driver is not.

The dbx500_cpuidle_probe could not be declared as __init because of macro
module_platform_driver builds the exit function, tags as __exit and this one
refers to the dbx500_cpuidle_plat_driver which is an __initdata.

That leads to a section mismatch.

Fix it by removing the __init tag for the probe function.

cpuidle / menu: Return (-1) if there are no suitable states

2015-07-30T12:10:49+00:00

commit 3836785a1bdcd6706c68ad46bf53adc0b057b310 upstream.

If there is a PM QoS latency limit and all of the sufficiently shallow
C-states are disabled, the cpuidle menu governor returns 0 which on
some systems is CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START and shouldn't be returned
if that C-state has been disabled.

Fix the issue by modifying the menu governor to return (-1) in such
situations.

cpuidle: Check for dev before deregistering it.

2013-12-12T06:37:54+00:00

commit 813e8e3d6aaa0b511126cce15c16a931afffe768 upstream.

If not, we could end up in the unfortunate situation where
we dereference a NULL pointer b/c we have cpuidle disabled.

This is the case when booting under Xen (which uses the
ACPI P/C states but disables the CPU idle driver) - and can
be easily reproduced when booting with cpuidle.off=1.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "All of these commits are fixes that have emerged recently and some of
  them fix bugs introduced during this merge window.

  Specifics:

   1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events

      After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting
      breakage on a system that triggers device check notifications
      during boot for non-existing devices.  Although those
      notifications are really spurious, we should be able to deal with
      them nevertheless and that shouldn't introduce too much overhead.
      Four commits to make that work properly.

   2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework

      This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical
      ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory
      hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same
      time.  Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't
      acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock
      which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug.

   3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix

      The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with
      Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one
      of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the
      information expected by the driver.  Fix from Mika Westerberg, for
      stable.

   4) ACPICA fix related to Store->ArgX operation

      AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be
      executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice).
      From Bob Moore.

   5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup

      There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device
      object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one
      that the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take
      more criteria into account in those cases.

   6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases

      If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on
      some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that
      pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening.

   7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug

      Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with
      cpufreq related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of
      fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar.

   8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute

      Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to
      read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state
      won't work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies.
      Fix from Andreas Schwab.

   9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit

      Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
      serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency
      problems in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but
      unfortunately it introduced several problems of its own, so I
      decided to revert it now and address the original problems later
      in a more robust way.

  10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle.

  11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume

      The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs
      attributes over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL
      pointer dereference that caused it to crash during the second
      attempt to suspend.  Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that
      problem and a couple of related issues.

  12) cpufreq locking fix

      cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but
      it acquires it for writing.  Fix from Lan Tianyu"

cpuidle: coupled: fix race condition between pokes and safe state

2013-08-29T20:15:34+00:00

The coupled cpuidle waiting loop clears pending pokes before
entering the safe state.  If a poke arrives just before the
pokes are cleared, but after the while loop condition checks,
the poke will be lost and the cpu will stay in the safe state
until another interrupt arrives.  This may cause the cpu that
sent the poke to spin in the ready loop with interrupts off
until another cpu receives an interrupt, and if no other cpus
have interrupts routed to them it can spin forever.

Change the return value of cpuidle_coupled_clear_pokes to
return if a poke was cleared, and move the need_resched()
checks into the callers.  In the waiting loop, if
a poke was cleared restart the loop to repeat the while
condition checks.

cpuidle: coupled: abort idle if pokes are pending

2013-08-29T20:15:04+00:00

Joseph Lo  reported a lockup on Tegra20 caused
by a race condition in coupled cpuidle.  When two or more cpus
enter idle at the same time, the first cpus to arrive may go to the
ready loop without processing pending pokes from the last cpu to
arrive.

This patch adds a check for pending pokes once all cpus have been
synchronized in the ready loop and resets the coupled state and
retries if any cpus failed to handle their pending poke.

Retrying on all cpus may trigger the same issue again, so this patch
also adds a check to ensure that each cpu has received at least one
poke between when it enters the waiting loop and when it moves on to
the ready loop.

cpuidle: coupled: disable interrupts after entering safe state

2013-08-29T20:11:38+00:00

Calling cpuidle_enter_state is expected to return with interrupts
enabled, but interrupts must be disabled before starting the
ready loop synchronization stage.  Call local_irq_disable after
each call to cpuidle_enter_state for the safe state.
