916f138840 cpufreq: governor: Free dbs_data directly when gov->init() fails
Due to the kobject embedded in the dbs_data doest not has a release()
method yet, it needs to use kfree() to free dbs_data directly when
governor fails to allocate the tunner field of dbs_data.

a85ee6401a cpufreq: governor: Use kobject release() method to free dbs_data
The struct dbs_data embeds a struct gov_attr_set and
the struct gov_attr_set embeds a kobject. Since every kobject must have
a release() method and we can't use kfree() to free it directly,
so introduce cpufreq_dbs_data_release() to release the dbs_data via
the kobject::release() method. This fixes the calltrace like below:

85750bcd48 cpufreq: unify show() and store() naming and use __ATTR_XX
Usually, sysfs attributes have .show and .store and their naming
convention is filename_show() and filename_store().

But in cpufreq the naming convention of these functions is
show_filename() and store_filename() which prevents __ATTR_RW() and
__ATTR_RO() from being used in there to simplify code.

Accordingly, change the naming convention of the sysfs .show and
.store methods in cpufreq to follow the one expected by __ATTR_RW()
and __ATTR_RO() and use these macros in that code.

7592019634 cpufreq: governors: Fix long idle detection logic in load calculation
According to current code implementation, detecting the long
idle period is done by checking if the interval between two
adjacent utilization update handlers is long enough. Although
this mechanism can detect if the idle period is long enough
(no utilization hooks invoked during idle period), it might
not cover a corner case: if the task has occupied the CPU
for too long which causes no context switches during that
period, then no utilization handler will be launched until this
high prio task is scheduled out. As a result, the idle_periods
field might be calculated incorrectly because it regards the
100% load as 0% and makes the conservative governor who uses
this field confusing.

Change the detection to compare the idle_time with sampling_rate
directly.

674e75411f sched: cpufreq: Allow remote cpufreq callbacks
With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to
certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks
into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target
CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are
certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor
for some time.

One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on
CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the
system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum
demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency
immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this
does not occur.

This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for
remote CPUs as well.

The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to
process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where
the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU.

The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks.

This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling,
galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit
octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements,
while others didn't had much deviation.

The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where
following are required to be true to improve performance and that
doesn't happen too often with these tests:

- Task is migrated to another CPU.
- The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher
  OPPs.
- And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the
  next tick.

Based on initial work from Steve Muckle.

governor currently, and this field describes how fast the driver wants
the cpufreq governor to change CPUs frequency. It should rather be a

dependency here.

Create a new helper cpufreq_policy_transition_delay_us() to get the
transition delay across all governors.

2d04503632 cpufreq: governor: Drop min_sampling_rate
The cpufreq core and governors aren't supposed to set a limit on how
fast we want to try changing the frequency. This is currently done for
the legacy governors with help of min_sampling_rate.

At worst, we may end up setting the sampling rate to a value lower than
the rate at which frequency can be changed and then one of the CPUs in
the policy will be only changing frequency for ever.

But that is something for the user to decide and there is no need to
have special handling for such cases in the core. Leave it for the user
to figure out.

00bfe05889 cpufreq: conservative: Decrease frequency faster for deferred updates
Conservative governor changes the CPU frequency in steps.
That means that if a CPU runs at max frequency, it will need several
sampling periods to return to min frequency when the workload
is finished.

If the update function that calculates the load and target frequency
is deferred, the governor might need even more time to decrease the
frequency.

This may have impact to power consumption and after all conservative
should decrease the frequency if there is no workload at every sampling
rate.

To resolve the above issue calculate the number of sampling periods
that the update is deferred. Considering that for each sampling period
conservative should drop the frequency by a freq_step because the
CPU was idle apply the proper subtraction to requested frequency.

Below, the kernel trace with and without this patch. First an
intensive workload is applied on a specific CPU. Then the workload
is removed and the CPU goes to idle.

58919e83c8 cpufreq / sched: Pass flags to cpufreq_update_util()
It is useful to know the reason why cpufreq_update_util() has just
been called and that can be passed as flags to cpufreq_update_util()
and to the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data.  However,
doing that in addition to passing the util and max arguments they
already take would be clumsy, so avoid it.

Instead, use the observation that the schedutil governor is part
of the scheduler proper, so it can access scheduler data directly.
This allows the util and max arguments of cpufreq_update_util()
and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data to be replaced
with a flags one, but schedutil has to be modified to follow.

Thus make the schedutil governor obtain the CFS utilization
information from the scheduler and use the "RT" and "DL" flags
instead of the special utilization value of ULONG_MAX to track
updates from the RT and DL sched classes.  Make it non-modular
too to avoid having to export scheduler variables to modules at
large.

Next, update all of the other users of cpufreq_update_util()
and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data accordingly.

9a15fb2c79 cpufreq: Drop the 'initialized' field from struct cpufreq_governor
The 'initialized' field in struct cpufreq_governor is only used by
the conservative governor (as a usage counter) and the way that
happens is far from straightforward and arguably incorrect.

Namely, the value of 'initialized' is checked by
cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() and cpufreq_dbs_governor_exit() and
the results of those checks are passed (as the second argument) to
the ->init() and ->exit() callbacks in struct dbs_governor.  Those
callbacks are only implemented by the ondemand and conservative
governors and ondemand doesn't use their second argument at all.
In turn, the conservative governor uses it to decide whether or not
to either register or unregister a transition notifier.

That whole mechanism is not only unnecessarily convoluted, but also
racy, because the 'initialized' field of struct cpufreq_governor is
updated in cpufreq_init_governor() and cpufreq_exit_governor() under
policy->rwsem which doesn't help if one of these functions is run
twice in parallel for different policies (which isn't impossible in
principle), for example.

Instead of it, add a proper usage counter to the conservative
governor and update it from cs_init() and cs_exit() which is
guaranteed to be non-racy, as those functions are only called
under gov_dbs_data_mutex which is global.

With that in place, drop the 'initialized' field from struct
cpufreq_governor as it is not used any more.

e788892ba3 cpufreq: governor: Get rid of governor events
The design of the cpufreq governor API is not very straightforward,
as struct cpufreq_governor provides only one callback to be invoked
from different code paths for different purposes.  The purpose it is
invoked for is determined by its second "event" argument, causing it
to act as a "callback multiplexer" of sorts.

Unfortunately, that leads to extra complexity in governors, some of
which implement the ->governor() callback as a switch statement
that simply checks the event argument and invokes a separate function
to handle that specific event.

That extra complexity can be eliminated by replacing the all-purpose
->governor() callback with a family of callbacks to carry out specific
governor operations: initialization and exit, start and stop and policy
limits updates.  That also turns out to reduce the code size too, so
do it.

9485e4ca0b cpufreq: governor: Fix handling of special cases in dbs_update()
As reported in KBZ 69821:

"With CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC=y cpu stays at the lowest frequcency 800MHz
 even if usage goes to 100%, frequency does not scale up, the governor
 in use is ondemand. Neither works conservative. Performance and
 userspace governors work as expected.

 With CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL cpu scales up with ondemand
 as expected."

Analysis carried out by Chen Yu leads to the conclusion that the
observed issue is due to idle_time in dbs_update() representing a
negative number in which case the function will return 0 as the load
(unless load is greater than 0 for another CPU sharing the policy),
although that need not be the right choice.

Indeed, idle_time representing a negative number means that during
the last sampling interval the CPU was almost 100% busy on the rough
average, so 100 should be returned as the load in that case.

Modify the code accordingly and rearrange it to clarify the handling
of all of the special cases in it.  While at it, also avoid returning
zero as the load if time_elapsed is 0 (it doesn't really make sense
to return 0 then).

b4f4b4b371 cpufreq: governor: Change confusing struct field and variable names
The name of the prev_cpu_wall field in struct cpu_dbs_info is
confusing, because it doesn't represent wall time, but the previous
update time as returned by get_cpu_idle_time() (that may be the
current value of jiffies_64 in some cases, for example).

Moreover, the names of some related variables in dbs_update() take
that confusion further.

Rename all of those things to make their names reflect the purpose
more accurately.  While at it, drop unnecessary parens from one of
the updated expressions.

No functional changes.

ba1ca654f3 cpufreq: governor: Fix prev_load initialization in cpufreq_governor_start()
The way cpufreq_governor_start() initializes j_cdbs->prev_load is
questionable.

First off, j_cdbs->prev_cpu_wall used as a denominator in the
computation may be zero.  The case this happens is when
get_cpu_idle_time_us() returns -1 and get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy()
used to return that number is called exactly at the jiffies_64
wrap time.  It is rather hard to trigger that error, but it is not
impossible and it will just crash the kernel then.

Second, j_cdbs->prev_load is computed as the average load during
the entire time since the system started and it may not reflect the
load in the previous sampling period (as it is expected to).
That doesn't play well with the way dbs_update() uses that value.
Namely, if the update time delta (wall_time) happens do be greater
than twice the sampling rate on the first invocation of it, the
initial value of j_cdbs->prev_load (which may be completely off) will
be returned to the caller as the current load (unless it is equal to
zero and unless another CPU sharing the same policy object has a
greater load value).

For this reason, notice that the prev_load field of struct cpu_dbs_info
is only used by dbs_update() and only in that one place, so if
cpufreq_governor_start() is modified to always initialize it to 0,
it will make dbs_update() always compute the actual load first time
it checks the update time delta against the doubled sampling rate
(after initialization) and there won't be any side effects of it.

Consequently, modify cpufreq_governor_start() as described.

08f511fd41 cpufreq: Reduce cpufreq_update_util() overhead a bit
Use the observation that cpufreq_update_util() is only called
by the scheduler with rq->lock held, so the callers of
cpufreq_set_update_util_data() can use synchronize_sched()
instead of synchronize_rcu() to wait for cpufreq_update_util()
to complete.  Moreover, if they are updated to do that,
rcu_read_(un)lock() calls in cpufreq_update_util() might be
replaced with rcu_read_(un)lock_sched(), respectively, but
those aren't really necessary, because the scheduler calls
that function from RCU-sched read-side critical sections
already.

In addition to that, if cpufreq_set_update_util_data() checks
the func field in the struct update_util_data before setting
the per-CPU pointer to it, the data->func check may be dropped
from cpufreq_update_util() as well.

Make the above changes to reduce the overhead from
cpufreq_update_util() in the scheduler paths invoking it
and to make the cleanup after removing its callbacks less
heavy-weight somewhat.

f737236b12 cpufreq: governor: Drop unnecessary checks from show() and store()
The show() and store() routines in the cpufreq-governor core don't need
to check if the struct governor_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.

Also change the error value to -EBUSY, if the governor is getting
removed and we aren't allowed to store any more changes.

27de348239 cpufreq: governor: Fix race in dbs_update_util_handler()
There is a scenario that may lead to undesired results in
dbs_update_util_handler().  Namely, if two CPUs sharing a policy
enter the funtion at the same time, pass the sample delay check
and then one of them is stalled until dbs_work_handler() (queued
up by the other CPU) clears the work counter, it may update the
work counter and queue up another work item prematurely.

To prevent that from happening, use the observation that the CPU
queuing up a work item in dbs_update_util_handler() updates the
last sample time.  This means that if another CPU was stalling after
passing the sample delay check and now successfully updated the work
counter as a result of the race described above, it will see the new
value of the last sample time which is different from what it used in
the sample delay check before.  If that happens, the sample delay
check passed previously is not valid any more, so the CPU should not
continue.

1112e9d83e cpufreq: governor: Narrow down the dbs_data_mutex coverage
Since cpufreq_governor_dbs() is now always called with policy->rwsem
held, it cannot be executed twice in parallel for the same policy.
Thus it is not necessary to hold dbs_data_mutex around the invocations
of cpufreq_governor_start/stop/limits() from it as those functions
never modify any data that can be shared between different policies.

However, cpufreq_governor_dbs() may be executed twice in parallal
for different policies using the same gov->gdbs_data object and
dbs_data_mutex is still necessary to protect that object against
concurrent updates.

For this reason, narrow down the dbs_data_mutex locking to
cpufreq_governor_init/exit() where it is needed and rename the
mutex to gov_dbs_data_mutex to reflect its purpose.

8c8f77fd07 cpufreq: governor: Move per-CPU data to the common code
After previous changes there is only one piece of code in the
ondemand governor making references to per-CPU data structures,
but it can be easily modified to avoid doing that, so modify it
accordingly and move the definition of per-CPU data used by the
ondemand and conservative governors to the common code.  Next,
change that code to access the per-CPU data structures directly
rather than via a governor callback.

This causes the ->get_cpu_cdbs governor callback to become
unnecessary, so drop it along with the macro and function
definitions related to it.

Finally, drop the definitions of struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and
struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s that aren't necessary any more.

7d5a9956af cpufreq: governor: Make governor private data per-policy
Some fields in struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s
are only used for a limited set of CPUs.  Namely, if a policy is
shared between multiple CPUs, those fields will only be used for one
of them (policy->cpu).  This means that they really are per-policy
rather than per-CPU and holding room for them in per-CPU data
structures is generally wasteful.  Also moving those fields into
per-policy data structures will allow some significant simplifications
to be made going forward.

For this reason, introduce struct cs_policy_dbs_info and
struct od_policy_dbs_info to hold those fields.  Define each of the
new structures as an extension of struct policy_dbs_info (such that
struct policy_dbs_info is embedded in each of them) and introduce
new ->alloc and ->free governor callbacks to allocate and free
those structures, respectively, such that ->alloc() will return
a pointer to the struct policy_dbs_info embedded in the allocated
data structure and ->free() will take that pointer as its argument.

With that, modify the code accessing the data fields in question
in per-CPU data objects to look for them in the new structures
via the struct policy_dbs_info pointer available to it and drop
them from struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s.

a33cce1c6c cpufreq: governor: Fix CPU load information updates via ->store
The ->store() callbacks of some tunable sysfs attributes of the
ondemand and conservative governors trigger immediate updates of
the CPU load information for all CPUs "governed" by the given
dbs_data by walking the cpu_dbs_info structures for all online
CPUs in the system and updating them.

This is questionable for two reasons.  First, it may lead to a lot of
extra overhead on a system with many CPUs if the given dbs_data is
only associated with a few of them.  Second, if governor tunables are
per-policy, the CPUs associated with the other sets of governor
tunables should not be updated.

To address this issue, use the observation that in all of the places
in question the update operation may be carried out in the same way
(because all of the tunables involved are now located in struct
dbs_data and readily available to the common code) and make the
code in those places invoke the same (new) helper function that
will carry out the update correctly.

That new function always checks the ignore_nice_load tunable value
and updates the CPUs' prev_cpu_nice data fields if that's set, which
wasn't done by the original code in store_io_is_busy(), but it
should have been done in there too.

8847e038c1 cpufreq: governor: Move io_is_busy to struct dbs_data
The io_is_busy governor tunable is only used by the ondemand governor
and is located in the ondemand-specific data structure, but it is
looked at by the common governor code that has to do ugly things to
get to that value, so move it to struct dbs_data and modify ondemand
accordingly.

Since the conservative governor never touches that field, it will
be always 0 for that governor and it won't have any effect on the
results of computations in that case.

574ef14d5d 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.

57dc3bcd45 cpufreq: governor: Move rate_mult to struct policy_dbs
The rate_mult field in struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s is used by the code
shared with the conservative governor and to access it that code
has to do an ugly governor type check.  However, first of all it
is ever only used for policy->cpu, so it is per-policy rather than
per-CPU and second, it is initialized to 1 by cpufreq_governor_start(),
so if the conservative governor never modifies it, it will have no
effect on the results of any computations.

For these reasons, move rate_mult to struct policy_dbs_info (as a
common field).
