Use the static SRCU initializer for `cpufreq_transition_notifier_list'.
This avoids the init_cpufreq_transition_notifier_list() initcall. Its
only purpose is to initialize the SRCU notifier once during boot and set
another variable which is used as an indicator whether the init was
perfromed before cpufreq_register_notifier() was used.

<title>cpufreq: Fix new policy initialization during limits updates via sysfs</title>

<content type='text'>
If the policy limits are updated via cpufreq_update_policy() and
subsequently via sysfs, the limits stored in user_policy may be
set incorrectly.

For example, if both min and max are set via sysfs to the maximum
available frequency, user_policy.min and user_policy.max will also
be the maximum.  If a policy notifier triggered by
cpufreq_update_policy() lowers both the min and the max at this
point, that change is not reflected by the user_policy limits, so
if the max is updated again via sysfs to the same lower value,
then user_policy.max will be lower than user_policy.min which
shouldn't happen.  In particular, if one of the policy CPUs is
then taken offline and back online, cpufreq_set_policy() will
fail for it due to a failing limits check.

To prevent that from happening, initialize the min and max fields
of the new_policy object to the ones stored in user_policy that
were previously set via sysfs.

cpufreq_notify_transition() calls __cpufreq_notify_transition() for each
CPU of a policy. There is a lot of code in __cpufreq_notify_transition()
though which isn't required to be executed for each CPU, like checking
about disabled cpufreq or irqs, adjusting jiffies, updating cpufreq
stats and some debug print messages.

This commit merges __cpufreq_notify_transition() into
cpufreq_notify_transition() and modifies cpufreq_notify_transition() to
execute minimum amount of code for each CPU.

Also fix the kerneldoc for cpufreq_notify_transition() while at it.

<title>cpufreq: Validate frequency table in the core</title>

<id>d417e0691ac00d35c4e6b90fc3fc85631a7865ad</id>
<content type='text'>
By design, cpufreq drivers are responsible for calling
cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() from their -&gt;init()
callbacks to validate the frequency table.

However, if a cpufreq driver is buggy and fails to do so properly, it
lead to unexpected behavior of the driver or the cpufreq core at a
later point in time.  It would be better if the core could
validate the frequency table during driver initialization.

To that end, introduce cpufreq_table_validate_and_sort() and make
the cpufreq core call it right after invoking the -&gt;init() callback
of the driver and destroy the cpufreq policy if the table is invalid.

For the time being the validation of the table happens twice, once
from the driver and then from the core.  The individual drivers will
be updated separately to drop table validation if they don't need it
for other reasons.

The frequency table is marked "sorted" or "unsorted" by the new helper
now instead of in cpufreq_table_validate_and_show(), as it should only
be done after validating the table (which the drivers won't do going
forward).

<title>cpufreq: Reorder cpufreq_online() error code path</title>

Ideally the de-allocation of resources should happen in the exact
opposite order in which they were allocated. It helps maintain the code
in long term, even if nothing really breaks with incorrect ordering.

That wasn't followed in cpufreq_online() and it has some
inconsistencies.  For example, the symlinks were created from within
the locked region while they are removed only after putting the locks.
Also -&gt;exit() should have been called only after the symlinks are
removed and the lock is dropped, as that was the case when -&gt;init()
was first called.

<title>cpufreq: Skip cpufreq resume if it's not suspended</title>

<content type='text'>
cpufreq_resume can be called even without preceding cpufreq_suspend.
This can happen in following scenario:

    suspend_devices_and_enter
       --&gt; dpm_suspend_start
          --&gt; dpm_prepare
              --&gt; device_prepare : this function errors out
          --&gt; dpm_suspend: this is skipped due to dpm_prepare failure
                           this means cpufreq_suspend is skipped over
       --&gt; goto Recover_platform, due to previous error
       --&gt; goto Resume_devices
       --&gt; dpm_resume_end
           --&gt; dpm_resume
               --&gt; cpufreq_resume

In case schedutil is used as frequency governor, cpufreq_resume will
eventually call sugov_start, which does following:

    memset(sg_cpu, 0, sizeof(*sg_cpu));
    ....

This effectively erases function pointer for frequency update, causing
crash later on. The function pointer would have been set correctly if
subsequent cpufreq_add_update_util_hook runs successfully, but that
function returns earlier because cpufreq_suspend was not called:

    if (WARN_ON(per_cpu(cpufreq_update_util_data, cpu)))
		return;

The fix is to check cpufreq_suspended first, if it's false, that means
cpufreq_suspend was not called in the first place, so do not resume
cpufreq.

It is possible to remove a cpufreq governor module after
cpufreq_parse_governor() has returned success in
store_scaling_governor() and before cpufreq_set_policy()
acquires a reference to it, because the governor list is
not protected during that period and nothing prevents the
governor from being unregistered then.

Prevent that from happening by acquiring an extra reference
to the governor module temporarily in cpufreq_parse_governor(),
under cpufreq_governor_mutex, and dropping it in
store_scaling_governor(), when cpufreq_set_policy() returns.

Note that the second cpufreq_parse_governor() call site is fine,
because it only cares about the policy member of new_policy.
