Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These add new hardware support (new Qualcomm SoC versions in cpufreq,
  RK3568/RK3588 in devfreq), extend the OPP (operating performance
  points) framework, improve cpufreq governors, fix issues and clean up
  code (most of the changes are in cpufreq and devfreq).

  Specifics:

   - Add support for several Qualcomm SoC versions and other similar
     changes (Christian Marangi, Dmitry Baryshkov, Luca Weiss, Neil
     Armstrong, Richard Acayan, Robert Marko, Rohit Agarwal, Stephan
     Gerhold and Varadarajan Narayanan)

   - Clean up the tegra cpufreq driver (Sumit Gupta)

   - Use of_property_read_reg() to parse "reg" in pmac32 driver (Rob
     Herring)

   - Add support for TI's am62p5 Soc (Bryan Brattlof)

   - Make ARM_BRCMSTB_AVS_CPUFREQ depends on !ARM_SCMI_CPUFREQ (Florian
     Fainelli)

   - Update Kconfig to mention i.MX7 as well (Alexander Stein)

   - Revise global turbo disable check in intel_pstate (Srinivas
     Pandruvada)

   - Carry out initialization of sg_cpu in the schedutil cpufreq
     governor in one loop (Liao Chang)

   - Simplify the condition for storing 'down_threshold' in the
     conservative cpufreq governor (Liao Chang)

   - Use fine-grained mutex in the userspace cpufreq governor (Liao
     Chang)

   - Move is_managed indicator in the userspace cpufreq governor into a
     per-policy structure (Liao Chang)

   - Rebuild sched-domains when removing cpufreq driver (Pierre Gondois)

   - Fix buffer overflow detection in trans_stats() (Christian Marangi)

   - Switch to dev_pm_opp_find_freq_(ceil/floor)_indexed() APIs to
     support specific devices like UFS which handle multiple clocks
     through OPP (Operating Performance Point) framework (Manivannan
     Sadhasivam)

   - Add perf support to the Rockchip DFI (DDR Monitor Module) devfreq-
     event driver:
      * Generalize rockchip-dfi.c to support new RK3568/RK3588 using
        different DDR type (Sascha Hauer).
      * Convert DT binding document format to yaml (Sascha Hauer).
      * Add perf support for DFI (a unit suitable for measuring DDR
        utilization) to rockchip-dfi.c to extend DFI usage (Sascha
        Hauer)

   - Add locking to the OPP handling code in the Mediatek CCI devfreq
     driver, because the voltage of shared OPP might be changed by
     multiple drivers (Mark Tseng, Dan Carpenter)

   - Use device_get_match_data() in the Samsung Exynos PPMU
     devfreq-event driver (Rob Herring)

   - Extend support for the opp-level beyond required-opps (Ulf Hansson)

The Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) relies on the schedutil governor.
When moving to/from the schedutil governor, sched domains must be
rebuilt to allow re-evaluating the enablement conditions of EAS.
This is done through sched_cpufreq_governor_change().

Having a cpufreq governor assumes a cpufreq driver is running.
Inserting/removing a cpufreq driver should trigger a re-evaluation
of EAS enablement conditions, avoiding to see EAS enabled when
removing a running cpufreq driver.

Rebuild the sched domains in schedutil's sugov_init()/sugov_exit(),
allowing to check EAS's enablement condition whenever schedutil
governor is initialized/exited from.
Move relevant code up in schedutil.c to avoid a split and conditional
function declaration.
Rename sched_cpufreq_governor_change() to sugov_eas_rebuild_sd().

<title>cpufreq: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy()</title>

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

We should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.

Both `policy-&gt;last_governor` and `default_governor` are expected to be
NUL-terminated which is shown by their heavy usage with other string
apis like `strcmp`.

A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees
NUL-termination on the destination buffer.

<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.

<title>cpufreq: Fix the race condition while updating the transition_task of policy</title>
<updated>2023-08-29T18:19:31+00:00</updated>

<id>61bfbf7951ba561dcbdd5357702d3cbc2d447812</id>
<content type='text'>
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

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.

The pointer value of policy and driver structure are currently printed
in the error messages of cpufreq_resume(), this is not recommended and
helpful.

In order to be consistent with the error message in cpufreq_suspend()
and easier to understand, print the name of driver strcture and the
manage CPU of policy structure individually in the error messages of
cpufreq_resume().

<title>cpufreq: Prefer to print cpuid in MIN/MAX QoS register error message</title>

When a cpufreq_policy is allocated, the cpus, related_cpus and real_cpus
of policy are still unset. Therefore, it is preferable to print the
passed 'cpu' parameter instead of a empty 'cpus' cpumask in error
message when registering MIN/MAX QoS notifier fails.

<title>cpufreq: Fail driver register if it has adjust_perf without fast_switch</title>

If fast_switch_possible flag is set by the scaling driver, the governor
is free to select fast_switch function even if adjust_perf is set.  Some
scaling drivers which use adjust_perf don't set fast_switch thinking
that the governor would never fall back to fast_switch. But the governor
can fall back to fast_switch even in runtime if frequency invariance is
disabled due to some reason. This could crash the kernel if the driver
didn't set the fast_switch function pointer.

Therefore, fail driver registration if it has adjust_perf without
fast_switch.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.

  Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening
  in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and
  "struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these
  changes.

  This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
  "provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules
  for all busses and classes in the kernel.

  The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
  busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
  instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
  subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most
  of them actually did so.

  Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
  things:

   - kobject logging improvements

   - cacheinfo improvements and updates

   - obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes

   - documentation updates

   - device property cleanups and const * changes

   - firwmare loader dependency fixes.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  problems"

cpufreq_verify_current_freq checks() if the frequency returned by
the hardware has a slight delta with the valid frequency value
last set and returns "policy-&gt;cur" if the delta is within "1 MHz".
In the comparison, "policy-&gt;cur" is in "kHz" but it's compared
against HZ_PER_MHZ. So, the comparison range becomes "1 GHz".

Fix this by comparing against KHZ_PER_MHZ instead of HZ_PER_MHZ.
