<title>cpufreq: x86: Make scaling_cur_freq behave more as expected</title>

<id>4815d3c56d1e10449a44089a47544d9ba84fad0d</id>
<content type='text'>
After commit f8475cef9008 "x86: use common aperfmperf_khz_on_cpu() to
calculate KHz using APERF/MPERF" the scaling_cur_freq policy attribute
in sysfs only behaves as expected on x86 with APERF/MPERF registers
available when it is read from at least twice in a row.  The value
returned by the first read may not be meaningful, because the
computations in there use cached values from the previous iteration
of aperfmperf_snapshot_khz() which may be stale.

To prevent that from happening, modify arch_freq_get_on_cpu() to
call aperfmperf_snapshot_khz() twice, with a short delay between
these calls, if the previous invocation of aperfmperf_snapshot_khz()
was too far back in the past (specifically, more that 1s ago).

Also, as pointed out by Doug Smythies, aperf_delta is limited now
and the multiplication of it by cpu_khz won't overflow, so simplify
the s-&gt;khz computations too.

This old piece of code is supposed to measure the performance of indirect
calls to determine if the processor is buggy or not, however the compiler
optimizer turns it into a direct call.

Use the OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() macro to thwart the optimization, so that a real
indirect call is generated.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The big ticket items here are the rework of suspend-to-idle in order
  to add proper support for power button wakeup from it on recent Dell
  laptops and the rework of interfaces exporting the current CPU
  frequency on x86.

  In addition to that, support for a few new pieces of hardware is
  added, the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure is simplified
  significantly and the wakeup IRQ framework is fixed to unbreak the IRQ
  bus locking infrastructure.

  Also, there are some functional improvements for intel_pstate, tools
  updates and small fixes and cleanups all over.

  Specifics:

   - Rework suspend-to-idle to allow it to take wakeup events signaled
     by the EC into account on ACPI-based platforms in order to properly
     support power button wakeup from suspend-to-idle on recent Dell
     laptops (Rafael Wysocki).

     That includes the core suspend-to-idle code rework, support for the
     Low Power S0 _DSM interface, and support for the ACPI INT0002
     Virtual GPIO device from Hans de Goede (required for USB keyboard
     wakeup from suspend-to-idle to work on some machines).

   - Stop trying to export the current CPU frequency via /proc/cpuinfo
     on x86 as that is inaccurate and confusing (Len Brown).

   - Rework the way in which the current CPU frequency is exported by
     the kernel (over the cpufreq sysfs interface) on x86 systems with
     the APERF and MPERF registers by always using values read from
     these registers, when available, to compute the current frequency
     regardless of which cpufreq driver is in use (Len Brown).

   - Rework the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure to remove the
     questionable and artificial distinction between "devices that can
     wake up the system from sleep states" and "devices that can
     generate wakeup signals in the working state" from it, which allows
     the code to be simplified quite a bit (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix the wakeup IRQ framework by making it use SRCU instead of RCU
     which doesn't allow sleeping in the read-side critical sections,
     but which in turn is expected to be allowed by the IRQ bus locking
     infrastructure (Thomas Gleixner).

   - Modify some computations in the intel_pstate driver to avoid
     rounding errors resulting from them (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Reduce the overhead of the intel_pstate driver in the HWP
     (hardware-managed P-states) mode and when the "performance" P-state
     selection algorithm is in use by making it avoid registering
     scheduler callbacks in those cases (Len Brown).

   - Rework the energy_performance_preference sysfs knob in intel_pstate
     by changing the values that correspond to different symbolic hint
     names used by it (Len Brown).

   - Make it possible to use more than one cpuidle driver at the same
     time on ARM (Daniel Lezcano).

   - Make it possible to prevent the cpuidle menu governor from using
     the 0 state by disabling it via sysfs (Nicholas Piggin).

   - Add support for FFH (Fixed Functional Hardware) MWAIT in ACPI C1 on
     AMD systems (Yazen Ghannam).

   - Make the CPPC cpufreq driver take the lowest nonlinear performance
     information into account (Prashanth Prakash).

   - Add support for hi3660 to the cpufreq-dt driver, fix the imx6q
     driver and clean up the sfi, exynos5440 and intel_pstate drivers
     (Colin Ian King, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Octavian Purdila, Rafael
     Wysocki, Tao Wang).

   - Fix a few minor issues in the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework and clean it up somewhat (Krzysztof Kozlowski, Mikko
     Perttunen, Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix a couple of minor issues in the operating performance points
     (OPP) framework and clean it up somewhat (Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix a CONFIG dependency in the hibernation core and clean it up
     slightly (Balbir Singh, Arvind Yadav, BaoJun Luo).

   - Add rk3228 support to the rockchip-io adaptive voltage scaling
     (AVS) driver (David Wu).

   - Fix an incorrect bit shift operation in the RAPL power capping
     driver (Adam Lessnau).

   - Add support for the EPP field in the HWP (hardware managed
     P-states) control register, HWP.EPP, to the x86_energy_perf_policy
     tool and update msr-index.h with HWP.EPP values (Len Brown).

   - Fix some minor issues in the turbostat tool (Len Brown).

   - Add support for AMD family 0x17 CPUs to the cpupower tool and fix a
     minor issue in it (Sherry Hurwitz).

   - Assorted cleanups, mostly related to the constification of some
     data structures (Arvind Yadav, Joe Perches, Kees Cook, Krzysztof
     Kozlowski)"

  Also, there are some functional improvements for intel_pstate, tools
  updates and small fixes and cleanups all over.

  Specifics:

   - Rework suspend-to-idle to allow it to take wakeup events signaled
     by the EC into account on ACPI-based platforms in order to properly
     support power button wakeup from suspend-to-idle on recent Dell
     laptops (Rafael Wysocki).

     That includes the core suspend-to-idle code rework, support for the
     Low Power S0 _DSM interface, and support for the ACPI INT0002
     Virtual GPIO device from Hans de Goede (required for USB keyboard
     wakeup from suspend-to-idle to work on some machines).

   - Stop trying to export the current CPU frequency via /proc/cpuinfo
     on x86 as that is inaccurate and confusing (Len Brown).

   - Rework the way in which the current CPU frequency is exported by
     the kernel (over the cpufreq sysfs interface) on x86 systems with
     the APERF and MPERF registers by always using values read from
     these registers, when available, to compute the current frequency
     regardless of which cpufreq driver is in use (Len Brown).

   - Rework the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure to remove the
     questionable and artificial distinction between "devices that can
     wake up the system from sleep states" and "devices that can
     generate wakeup signals in the working state" from it, which allows
     the code to be simplified quite a bit (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix the wakeup IRQ framework by making it use SRCU instead of RCU
     which doesn't allow sleeping in the read-side critical sections,
     but which in turn is expected to be allowed by the IRQ bus locking
     infrastructure (Thomas Gleixner).

   - Modify some computations in the intel_pstate driver to avoid
     rounding errors resulting from them (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Reduce the overhead of the intel_pstate driver in the HWP
     (hardware-managed P-states) mode and when the "performance" P-state
     selection algorithm is in use by making it avoid registering
     scheduler callbacks in those cases (Len Brown).

   - Rework the energy_performance_preference sysfs knob in intel_pstate
     by changing the values that correspond to different symbolic hint
     names used by it (Len Brown).

   - Make it possible to use more than one cpuidle driver at the same
     time on ARM (Daniel Lezcano).

   - Make it possible to prevent the cpuidle menu governor from using
     the 0 state by disabling it via sysfs (Nicholas Piggin).

   - Add support for FFH (Fixed Functional Hardware) MWAIT in ACPI C1 on
     AMD systems (Yazen Ghannam).

   - Make the CPPC cpufreq driver take the lowest nonlinear performance
     information into account (Prashanth Prakash).

   - Add support for hi3660 to the cpufreq-dt driver, fix the imx6q
     driver and clean up the sfi, exynos5440 and intel_pstate drivers
     (Colin Ian King, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Octavian Purdila, Rafael
     Wysocki, Tao Wang).

   - Fix a few minor issues in the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework and clean it up somewhat (Krzysztof Kozlowski, Mikko
     Perttunen, Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix a couple of minor issues in the operating performance points
     (OPP) framework and clean it up somewhat (Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix a CONFIG dependency in the hibernation core and clean it up
     slightly (Balbir Singh, Arvind Yadav, BaoJun Luo).

   - Add rk3228 support to the rockchip-io adaptive voltage scaling
     (AVS) driver (David Wu).

   - Fix an incorrect bit shift operation in the RAPL power capping
     driver (Adam Lessnau).

   - Add support for the EPP field in the HWP (hardware managed
     P-states) control register, HWP.EPP, to the x86_energy_perf_policy
     tool and update msr-index.h with HWP.EPP values (Len Brown).

   - Fix some minor issues in the turbostat tool (Len Brown).

   - Add support for AMD family 0x17 CPUs to the cpupower tool and fix a
     minor issue in it (Sherry Hurwitz).

   - Assorted cleanups, mostly related to the constification of some
     data structures (Arvind Yadav, Joe Perches, Kees Cook, Krzysztof
     Kozlowski)"

Pull SMP hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This update is primarily a cleanup of the CPU hotplug locking code.

  The hotplug locking mechanism is an open coded RWSEM, which allows
  recursive locking. The main problem with that is the recursive nature
  as it evades the full lockdep coverage and hides potential deadlocks.

  The rework replaces the open coded RWSEM with a percpu RWSEM and
  establishes full lockdep coverage that way.

  The bulk of the changes fix up recursive locking issues and address
  the now fully reported potential deadlocks all over the place. Some of
  these deadlocks have been observed in the RT tree, but on mainline the
  probability was low enough to hide them away."
