cpufreq: Abort cpufreq_update_current_freq() for cpufreq_suspended set
Since governor operations are generally skipped if cpufreq_suspended
is set, cpufreq_start_governor() should do nothing in that case.
That function is called in the cpufreq_online() path, and may also
be called from cpufreq_offline() in some cases, which are invoked
by the nonboot CPUs disabing/enabling code during system suspend
to RAM and resume. That happens when all devices have been
suspended, so if the cpufreq driver relies on things like I2C to
get the current frequency, it may not be ready to do that then.
To prevent problems from happening for this reason, make
cpufreq_update_current_freq(), which is the only function invoked
by cpufreq_start_governor() that doesn't check cpufreq_suspended
already, return 0 upfront if cpufreq_suspended is set.

intel_pstate: Avoid getting stuck in high P-states when idle
Jörg Otte reports that commit a4675fbc4a7a (cpufreq: intel_pstate:
Replace timers with utilization update callbacks) caused the CPUs in
his Haswell-based system to stay in the very high frequency region
even if the system is completely idle.
That turns out to be an existing problem in the intel_pstate driver's
P-state selection algorithm for Core processors. Namely, all
decisions made by that algorithm are based on the average frequency
of the CPU between sampling events and on the P-state requested on
the last invocation, so it may get stuck at a very hight frequency
even if the utilization of the CPU is very low (in fact, it may get
stuck in a inadequate P-state regardless of the CPU utilization).
The only way to kick it out of that limbo is a sufficiently long idle
period (3 times longer than the prescribed sampling interval), but if
that doesn't happen often enough (eg. due to a timing change like
after the above commit), the P-state of the CPU may be inadequate
pretty much all the time.
To address the most egregious manifestations of that issue, reset the
core_busy value used to determine the next P-state to request if the
utilization of the CPU, determined with the help of the MPERF
feedback register and the TSC, is below 1%.
cpufreq: intel_pstate: fix inconsistency in setting policy limits
When user sets performance policy using cpufreq interface, it is possible
that because of policy->max limits, the actual performance is still
limited. But the current implementation will silently switch the
policy to powersave and start using powersave limits. If user modifies
any limits using intel_pstate sysfs, this is actually changing powersave
limits.
The current implementation tracks limits under powersave and performance
policy using two different variables. When policy->max is less than
policy->cpuinfo.max_freq, only powersave limit variable is used.
This fix causes the performance limits variable to be used always when
the policy is performance.

intel_pstate: Avoid extra invocation of intel_pstate_sample()
The initialization of intel_pstate for a given CPU involves populating
the fields of its struct cpudata that represent the previous sample,
but currently that is done in a problematic way.
Namely, intel_pstate_init_cpu() makes an extra call to
intel_pstate_sample() so it reads the current register values that
will be used to populate the "previous sample" record during the
next invocation of intel_pstate_sample(). However, after commit a4675fbc4a7a (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with utilization
update callbacks) that doesn't work for last_sample_time, because
the time value is passed to intel_pstate_sample() as an argument now.
Passing 0 to it from intel_pstate_init_cpu() is problematic, because
that causes cpu->last_sample_time == 0 to be visible in
get_target_pstate_use_performance() (and hence the extra
cpu->last_sample_time > 0 check in there) and effectively allows
the first invocation of intel_pstate_sample() from
intel_pstate_update_util() to happen immediately after the
initialization which may lead to a significant "turn on"
effect in the governor algorithm.
To mitigate that issue, rework the initialization to avoid the
extra intel_pstate_sample() call from intel_pstate_init_cpu().
Instead, make intel_pstate_sample() return false if it has been
called with cpu->sample.time equal to zero, which will make
intel_pstate_update_util() skip the sample in that case, and
reset cpu->sample.time from intel_pstate_set_update_util_hook()
to make the algorithm start properly every time the hook is set.

intel_pstate: Do not set utilization update hook too early
The utilization update hook in the intel_pstate driver is set too
early, as it only should be set after the policy has been fully
initialized by the core. That may cause intel_pstate_update_util()
to use incorrect data and put the CPUs into incorrect P-states as
a result.
To prevent that from happening, make intel_pstate_set_policy() set
the utilization update hook instead of intel_pstate_init_cpu() so
intel_pstate_update_util() only runs when all things have been
initialized as appropriate.

intel_pstate: Do not call wrmsrl_on_cpu() with disabled interrupts
After commit a4675fbc4a7a (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with
utilization update callbacks) wrmsrl_on_cpu() cannot be called in the
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() path as that is executed with
disabled interrupts. However, atom_set_pstate() called from there
via intel_pstate_set_pstate() uses wrmsrl_on_cpu() to update the
IA32_PERF_CTL MSR which triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
smp_call_function_single().
The reason why wrmsrl_on_cpu() is used by atom_set_pstate() is
because intel_pstate_set_pstate() calling it is also invoked during
the initialization and cleanup of the driver and in those cases it is
not guaranteed to be run on the CPU that is being updated. However,
in the case when intel_pstate_set_pstate() is called by
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate(), wrmsrl() can be used to update
the register safely. Moreover, intel_pstate_set_pstate() already
contains code that only is executed if the function is called by
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() and there is a special argument
passed to it because of that.
To fix the problem at hand, rearrange the code taking the above
observations into account.
First, replace the ->set() callback in struct pstate_funcs with a
->get_val() one that will return the value to be written to the
IA32_PERF_CTL MSR without updating the register.
Second, split intel_pstate_set_pstate() into two functions,
intel_pstate_update_pstate() to be called by
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() that will contain all of the
intel_pstate_set_pstate() code which only needs to be executed in
that case and will use wrmsrl() to update the MSR (after obtaining
the value to write to it from the ->get_val() callback), and
intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() to be invoked during the
initialization and cleanup that will set the P-state to the
minimum one and will update the MSR using wrmsrl_on_cpu().
Finally, move the code shared between intel_pstate_update_pstate()
and intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() to a new static inline function
intel_pstate_record_pstate() and make them both call it.
Of course, that unifies the handling of the IA32_PERF_CTL MSR writes
between Atom and Core.

cpufreq: governor: Close dbs_data update race condition
It is possible for a dbs_data object to be updated after its
usage counter has become 0. That may happen if governor_store()
runs (via a govenor tunable sysfs attribute write) in parallel
with cpufreq_governor_exit() called for the last cpufreq policy
associated with the dbs_data in question. In that case, if
governor_store() acquires dbs_data->mutex right after
cpufreq_governor_exit() has released it, the ->store() callback
invoked by it may operate on dbs_data with no users. Although
sysfs will cause the kobject_put() in cpufreq_governor_exit() to
block until governor_store() has returned, that situation may
lead to some unexpected results, depending on the implementation
of the ->store callback, and therefore it should be avoided.
To that end, modify governor_store() to check the dbs_data's
usage count before invoking the ->store() callback and return
an error if it is 0 at that point.

cpufreq: governor: Get rid of the ->gov_check_cpu callback
The way the ->gov_check_cpu governor callback is used by the ondemand
and conservative governors is not really straightforward. Namely, the
governor calls dbs_check_cpu() that updates the load information for
the policy and the invokes ->gov_check_cpu() for the governor.
To get rid of that entanglement, notice that cpufreq_governor_limits()
doesn't need to call dbs_check_cpu() directly. Instead, it can simply
reset the sample delay to 0 which will cause a sample to be taken
immediately. The result of that is practically equivalent to calling
dbs_check_cpu() except that it will trigger a full update of governor
internal state and not just the ->gov_check_cpu() part.
Following that observation, make cpufreq_governor_limits() reset
the sample delay and turn dbs_check_cpu() into a function that will
simply evaluate the load and return the result called dbs_update().
That function can now be called by governors from the routines that
previously were pointed to by ->gov_check_cpu and those routines
can be called directly by each governor instead of dbs_check_cpu().
This way ->gov_check_cpu becomes unnecessary, so drop it.

cpufreq: governor: Create and traverse list of policy_dbs to avoid deadlock

ondemand governor's update_sampling_rate() to ensure the stability of

cpufreq: Add mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks
Introduce a mechanism by which parts of the cpufreq subsystem
("setpolicy" drivers or the core) can register callbacks to be
executed from cpufreq_update_util() which is invoked by the
scheduler's update_load_avg() on CPU utilization changes.
This allows the "setpolicy" drivers to dispense with their timers
and do all of the computations they need and frequency/voltage
adjustments in the update_load_avg() code path, among other things.
The update_load_avg() changes were suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: Make read and write operations more efficient
Setting a new CPU frequency and reading the current request value
in the ACPI cpufreq driver involves each at least two switch
instructions (there's more if the policy is shared). One of
them is present in drv_read/write() that prepares a command
structure and the other happens in subsequent do_drv_read/write()
when that structure is interpreted. However, all of those switches
may be avoided by using function pointers.
To that end, add two function pointers to struct acpi_cpufreq_data
to represent read and write operations on the frequency register
and set them up during policy intitialization to point to the pair
of routines suitable for the given processor (Intel/AMD MSR access
or I/O port access). Then, use those pointers in do_drv_read/write()
and modify drv_read/write() to prepare the command structure for
them without any checks.

If the processor supports HWP, enable it by default without checking
for the cpu model. This will allow to enable HWP in all supported
processors without driver change.

intel_pstate: Update frequencies of policy->cpus only from ->set_policy()
The intel-pstate driver is using intel_pstate_hwp_set() from two
separate paths, i.e. ->set_policy() callback and sysfs update path for
the files present in /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/ directory.
While an update to the sysfs path applies to all the CPUs being managed
by the driver (which essentially means all the online CPUs), the update
via the ->set_policy() callback applies to a smaller group of CPUs
managed by the policy for which ->set_policy() is called.
And so, intel_pstate_hwp_set() should update frequencies of only the
CPUs that are part of policy->cpus mask, while it is called from
->set_policy() callback.
In order to do that, add a parameter (cpumask) to intel_pstate_hwp_set()
and apply the frequency changes only to the concerned CPUs.
For ->set_policy() path, we are only concerned about policy->cpus, and
so policy->rwsem lock taken by the core prior to calling ->set_policy()
is enough to take care of any races. The larger lock acquired by
get_online_cpus() is required only for the updates to sysfs files.
Add another routine, intel_pstate_hwp_set_online_cpus(), and call it
from the sysfs update paths.
This also fixes a lockdep reported recently, where policy->rwsem and
get_online_cpus() could have been acquired in any order causing an ABBA
deadlock. The sequence of events leading to that was:

The show() and store() routines in the cpufreq core don't need to
check if the struct freq_attr they want to use really provides the
callbacks they need as expected (if that's not the case, it means
a bug in the code anyway), so change them to avoid doing that.
