Some information is common to all CPUs belonging to a policy, but are
kept on per-cpu basis. Lets keep that in another structure common to all
policy->cpus. That will make updates/reads to that less complex and less
error prone.
The memory for cpu_common_dbs_info is allocated/freed at INIT/EXIT, so
that it we don't reallocate it for STOP/START sequence. It will be also
be used (in next patch) while the governor is stopped and so must not be
freed that early.

There are several races reported in cpufreq core around governors (only
ondemand and conservative) by different people.
There are at least two race scenarios present in governor code:
(a) Concurrent access/updates of governor internal structures.
It is possible that fields such as 'dbs_data->usage_count', etc. are
accessed simultaneously for different policies using same governor
structure (i.e. CPUFREQ_HAVE_GOVERNOR_PER_POLICY flag unset). And
because of this we can dereference bad pointers.
For example consider a system with two CPUs with separate 'struct
cpufreq_policy' instances. CPU0 governor: ondemand and CPU1: powersave.
CPU0 switching to powersave and CPU1 to ondemand:
CPU0 CPU1
store* store*
cpufreq_governor_exit() cpufreq_governor_init()
dbs_data = cdata->gdbs_data;
if (!--dbs_data->usage_count)
kfree(dbs_data);
dbs_data->usage_count++;
*Bad pointer dereference*
There are other races possible between EXIT and START/STOP/LIMIT as
well. Its really complicated.
(b) Switching governor state in bad sequence:
For example trying to switch a governor to START state, when the
governor is in EXIT state. There are some checks present in
__cpufreq_governor() but they aren't sufficient as they compare events
against 'policy->governor_enabled', where as we need to take governor's
state into account, which can be used by multiple policies.
These two issues need to be solved separately and the responsibility
should be properly divided between cpufreq and governor core.
The first problem is more about the governor core, as it needs to
protect its structures properly. And the second problem should be fixed
in cpufreq core instead of governor, as its all about sequence of
events.
This patch is trying to solve only the first problem.
There are two types of data we need to protect,
- 'struct common_dbs_data': No matter what, there is going to be a
single copy of this per governor.
- 'struct dbs_data': With CPUFREQ_HAVE_GOVERNOR_PER_POLICY flag set, we
will have per-policy copy of this data, otherwise a single copy.
Because of such complexities, the mutex present in 'struct dbs_data' is
insufficient to solve our problem. For example we need to protect
fetching of 'dbs_data' from different structures at the beginning of
cpufreq_governor_dbs(), to make sure it isn't currently being updated.
This can be fixed if we can guarantee serialization of event parsing
code for an individual governor. This is best solved with a mutex per
governor, and the placeholder for that is 'struct common_dbs_data'.
And so this patch moves the mutex from 'struct dbs_data' to 'struct
common_dbs_data' and takes it at the beginning and drops it at the end
of cpufreq_governor_dbs().

Chapter 14 of Documentation/CodingStyle says:
The preferred form for passing a size of a struct is the following:
p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);
The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts
readability and introduces an opportunity for a bug when the pointer
variable type is changed but the corresponding sizeof that is passed
to a memory allocator is not.
This wasn't followed consistently in drivers/cpufreq, let's make it

cpufreq: handle SW coordinated CPUs
This causes additional unnecessary interrupts on all cpus when the load is
recently evaluated by any other cpu. i.e. When load is recently evaluated by cpu
x, we don't really need any other cpu to evaluate this load again for the next
sampling_rate time.
Some sort of code is present to avoid that but we are still getting timer
interrupts for all cpus. A good way of avoiding this would be to modify delays
for all cpus (policy->cpus) whenever any cpu has evaluated load.
This patch does this change and some related code cleanup.

Currently, there can't be multiple instances of single governor_type.
If we have a multi-package system, where we have multiple instances
of struct policy (per package), we can't have multiple instances of
same governor. i.e. We can't have multiple instances of ondemand
governor for multiple packages.
Governors directory in sysfs is created at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/
governor-name/. Which again reflects that there can be only one
instance of a governor_type in the system.
This is a bottleneck for multicluster system, where we want different
packages to use same governor type, but with different tunables.
This patch uses the infrastructure provided by earlier patch and
implements init/exit routines for ondemand and conservative
governors.

update_ts_time_stat currently updates idle time even if we are in
iowait loop at the moment. The only real users of the idle counter
(via get_cpu_idle_time_us) are CPU governors and they expect to get
cumulative time for both idle and iowait times.
The value (idle_sleeptime) is also printed to userspace by print_cpu
but it prints both idle and iowait times so the idle part is misleading.
Let's clean this up and fix update_ts_time_stat to account both counters
properly and update consumers of idle to consider iowait time as well.
If we do this we might use get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us from other
contexts as well and we will get expected values.

Conflicts in core and arch percpu codes are mostly from commit
ed78e1e078dd44249f88b1dd8c76dafb39567161 which substituted many
num_possible_cpus() with nr_cpu_ids. As for-next branch has moved all
the first chunk allocators into mm/percpu.c, the changes are moved
from arch code to mm/percpu.c.

Commit ee88415caf
introduced this regression when it removed enable bit in cpu_dbs_info_s.
That added a possibility of dbs_cpufreq_notifier getting called for a
CPU that is not yet managed by conservative governor. That will happen
as the transition notifier is set as soon as one CPU switches to
conservative governor and other CPUs can get a NULL pointer dereference
without the enable bit check. Add the enable bit back again.

Redesign the locking inside conservative driver. Make dbs_mutex handle all the
global state changes inside the driver and invent a new percpu mutex
to serialize percpu timer and frequency limit change.

Commit b14893a62c although it was very
much needed to properly cleanup ondemand timer, opened-up a can of worms
related to locking dependencies in cpufreq.
Patch here defines the need for dbs_mutex and cleans up its usage in
ondemand governor. This also resolves the lockdep warnings reported here
