Most of the drivers do following in their ->target_index() routines:
struct cpufreq_freqs freqs;
freqs.old = old freq...
freqs.new = new freq...
cpufreq_notify_transition(policy, &freqs, CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE);
/* Change rate here */
cpufreq_notify_transition(policy, &freqs, CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE);
This is replicated over all cpufreq drivers today and there doesn't exists a
good enough reason why this shouldn't be moved to cpufreq core instead.
There are few special cases though, like exynos5440, which doesn't do everything
on the call to ->target_index() routine and call some kind of bottom halves for
doing this work, work/tasklet/etc..
They may continue doing notification from their own code as flag:
CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION is already set for them.
All drivers are also modified in this patch to avoid breaking 'git bisect', as
double notification would happen otherwise.

Currently, the prototype of cpufreq_drivers target routines is:
int target(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int target_freq,
unsigned int relation);
And most of the drivers call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() to get a valid
index of their frequency table which is closest to the target_freq. And they
don't use target_freq and relation after that.
So, it makes sense to just do this work in cpufreq core before calling
cpufreq_frequency_table_target() and simply pass index instead. But this can be
done only with drivers which expose their frequency table with cpufreq core. For
others we need to stick with the old prototype of target() until those drivers
are converted to expose frequency tables.
This patch implements the new light weight prototype for target_index() routine.
It looks like this:
int target_index(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int index);
CPUFreq core will call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() before calling this
routine and pass index to it. Because CPUFreq core now requires to call routines
present in freq_table.c CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE must be enabled all the time.
This also marks target() interface as deprecated. So, that new drivers avoid
using it. And Documentation is updated accordingly.
It also converts existing .target() to newly defined light weight
.target_index() routine for many driver.

Because cpu is changing with the call to update_policy_cpu(), the

If update_policy_cpu() is invoked with the existing policy->cpu itself
as the new-cpu parameter, then a lot of things can go terribly wrong.
In its present form, update_policy_cpu() always assumes that the new-cpu
is different from policy->cpu and invokes other functions to perform their
respective updates. And those functions implement the actual update like
this:
per_cpu(..., new_cpu) = per_cpu(..., last_cpu);
per_cpu(..., last_cpu) = NULL;
Thus, when new_cpu == last_cpu, the final NULL assignment makes the per-cpu
references vanish into thin air! (memory leak). From there, it leads to more
problems: cpufreq_stats_create_table() now doesn't find the per-cpu reference
and hence tries to create a new sysfs-group; but sysfs already had created
the group earlier, so it complains that it cannot create a duplicate filename.
In short, the repercussions of a rather innocuous invocation of
update_policy_cpu() can turn out to be pretty nasty.
Ideally update_policy_cpu() should handle this situation (new == last)
gracefully, and not lead to such severe problems. So fix it by adding an
appropriate check.

In __cpufreq_remove_dev_prepare(), the code which decides whether to remove
the sysfs link or nominate a new policy cpu, is governed by an if/else block
with a rather complex set of conditionals. Worse, they harbor a subtlety
which leads to certain unintended behavior.
The code looks like this:
if (cpu != policy->cpu && !frozen) {
sysfs_remove_link(&dev->kobj, "cpufreq");
} else if (cpus > 1) {
new_cpu = cpufreq_nominate_new_policy_cpu(...);
...
update_policy_cpu(..., new_cpu);
}
The original intention was:
If the CPU going offline is not policy->cpu, just remove the link.
On the other hand, if the CPU going offline is the policy->cpu itself,
handover the policy->cpu job to some other surviving CPU in that policy.
But because the 'if' condition also includes the 'frozen' check, now there
are *two* possibilities by which we can enter the 'else' block:
1. cpu == policy->cpu (intended)
2. cpu != policy->cpu && frozen (unintended)
Due to the second (unintended) scenario, we end up spuriously nominating
a CPU as the policy->cpu, even when the existing policy->cpu is alive and
well. This can cause problems further down the line, especially when we end
up nominating the same policy->cpu as the new one (ie., old == new),
because it totally confuses update_policy_cpu().
To avoid this mess, restructure the if/else block to only do what was
originally intended, and thus prevent any unwelcome surprises.

Stephen Warren reported that the cpufreq-stats code hits a NULL pointer
dereference during the second attempt to suspend a system. He also
pin-pointed the problem to commit 5302c3f "cpufreq: Perform light-weight
init/teardown during suspend/resume".
That commit actually ensured that the cpufreq-stats table and the
cpufreq-stats sysfs entries are *not* torn down (ie., not freed) during
suspend/resume, which makes it all the more surprising. However, it turns
out that the root-cause is not that we access an already freed memory, but
that the reference to the allocated memory gets moved around and we lose
track of that during resume, leading to the reported crash in a subsequent
suspend attempt.
In the suspend path, during CPU offline, the value of policy->cpu is updated
by choosing one of the surviving CPUs in that policy, as long as there is
atleast one CPU in that policy. And cpufreq_stats_update_policy_cpu() is
invoked to update the reference to the stats structure by assigning it to
the new CPU. However, in the resume path, during CPU online, we end up
assigning a fresh CPU as the policy->cpu, without letting cpufreq-stats
know about this. Thus the reference to the stats structure remains
(incorrectly) associated with the old CPU. So, in a subsequent suspend attempt,
during CPU offline, we end up accessing an incorrect location to get the
stats structure, which eventually leads to the NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this by letting cpufreq-stats know about the update of the policy->cpu
during CPU online in the resume path. (Also, move the update_policy_cpu()
function higher up in the file, so that __cpufreq_add_dev() can invoke
it).

The functions that are used to write to cpufreq sysfs files (such as
store_scaling_max_freq()) are not hotplug safe. They can race with CPU
hotplug tasks and lead to problems such as trying to acquire an already
destroyed timer-mutex etc.
Eg:
__cpufreq_remove_dev()
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
policy->governor->governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
cpufreq_governor_dbs()
case CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP:
mutex_destroy(&cpu_cdbs->timer_mutex)
cpu_cdbs->cur_policy = NULL;
<PREEMPT>
store()
__cpufreq_set_policy()
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS);
policy->governor->governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS);
case CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS:
mutex_lock(&cpu_cdbs->timer_mutex); <-- Warning (destroyed mutex)
if (policy->max < cpu_cdbs->cur_policy->cur) <- cur_policy == NULL
So use get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() in the store_*() functions, to
synchronize with CPU hotplug. However, there is an additional point to note
here: some parts of the CPU teardown in the cpufreq subsystem are done in
the CPU_POST_DEAD stage, with cpu_hotplug.lock *released*. So, using the
get/put_online_cpus() functions alone is insufficient; we should also ensure
that we don't race with those latter steps in the hotplug sequence. We can
easily achieve this by checking if the CPU is online before proceeding with
the store, since the CPU would have been marked offline by the time the
CPU_POST_DEAD notifiers are executed.

__cpufreq_remove_dev_finish() handles the kobject cleanup for a CPU going
offline. But because we destroy the kobject towards the end of the CPU offline
phase, there are certain race windows where a task can try to write to a
cpufreq sysfs file (eg: using store_scaling_max_freq()) while we are taking
that CPU offline, and this can bump up the kobject refcount, which in turn might
hinder the CPU offline task from running to completion. (It can also cause
other more serious problems such as trying to acquire a destroyed timer-mutex
etc., depending on the exact stage of the cleanup at which the task managed to
take a new refcount).
To fix the race window, we will need to synchronize those store_*() call-sites
with CPU hotplug, using get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus(). However, that
in turn can cause a total deadlock because it can end up waiting for the
CPU offline task to complete, with incremented refcount!
Write to sysfs CPU offline task
-------------- ----------------
kobj_refcnt++
Acquire cpu_hotplug.lock
get_online_cpus();
Wait for kobj_refcnt to drop to zero
**DEADLOCK**
A simple way to avoid this problem is to perform the kobject cleanup in the
CPU offline path, with the cpu_hotplug.lock *released*. That is, we can
perform the wait-for-kobj-refcnt-to-drop as well as the subsequent cleanup
in the CPU_POST_DEAD stage of CPU offline, which is run with cpu_hotplug.lock
released. Doing this helps us avoid deadlocks due to holding kobject refcounts
and waiting on each other on the cpu_hotplug.lock.
(Note: We can't move all of the cpufreq CPU offline steps to the
CPU_POST_DEAD stage, because certain things such as stopping the governors
have to be done before the outgoing CPU is marked offline. So retain those
parts in the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE stage itself).

During CPU offline, the cpufreq core invokes __cpufreq_remove_dev()
to perform work such as stopping the cpufreq governor, clearing the
CPU from the policy structure etc, and finally cleaning up the
kobject.
There are certain subtle issues related to the kobject cleanup, and
it would be much easier to deal with them if we separate that part
from the rest of the cleanup-work in the CPU offline phase. So split
the __cpufreq_remove_dev() function into 2 parts: one that handles
the kobject cleanup, and the other that handles the rest of the work.

We can't take a big lock around __cpufreq_governor() as this causes
recursive locking for some cases. But calls to this routine must be
serialized for every policy. Otherwise we can see some unpredictable
events.
For example, consider following scenario:
__cpufreq_remove_dev()
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
policy->governor->governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
cpufreq_governor_dbs()
case CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP:
mutex_destroy(&cpu_cdbs->timer_mutex)
cpu_cdbs->cur_policy = NULL;
<PREEMPT>
store()
__cpufreq_set_policy()
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS);
policy->governor->governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS);
case CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS:
mutex_lock(&cpu_cdbs->timer_mutex); <-- Warning (destroyed mutex)
if (policy->max < cpu_cdbs->cur_policy->cur) <- cur_policy == NULL
And so store() will eventually result in a crash if cur_policy is
NULL at this point.
Introduce an additional variable which would guarantee serialization
here.

not allow calls to CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS event as well.
This patch adds this check in __cpufreq_governor().

To iterate over all policies we currently iterate over all online
CPUs and then get the policy for each of them which is suboptimal.
Use the newly created cpufreq_policy_list for this purpose instead.

cpufreq_policy_cpu per-cpu variables are used for storing the ID of
the CPU that manages the given CPU's policy. However, we also store
a policy pointer for each cpu in cpufreq_cpu_data, so the
cpufreq_policy_cpu information is simply redundant.
It is better to use cpufreq_cpu_data to retrieve a policy and get
policy->cpu from there, so make that happen everywhere and drop the
cpufreq_policy_cpu per-cpu variables which aren't necessary any more.

cpufreq_policy_list is a list of active policies. We do remove
policies from this list when all CPUs belonging to that policy are
removed. But during system suspend we don't really free a policy
struct as it will be used again during resume, so we didn't remove
it from cpufreq_policy_list as well..
However, this is incorrect. We are saying this policy isn't valid
anymore and must not be referenced (though we haven't freed it), but
it can still be used by code that iterates over cpufreq_policy_list.
Remove policy from this list during system suspend as well.
Of course, we must add it back whenever the first CPU belonging to
that policy shows up.

Revert commit eb60852 (cpufreq: Use cpufreq_policy_list for iterating
over policies), because it breaks system suspend/resume on multiple
machines.
It either causes resume to block indefinitely or causes the BUG_ON()
in lock_policy_rwsem_##mode() to trigger on sysfs accesses to cpufreq
attributes.

The __cpufreq_governor() function can fail in rare cases especially
if there are bugs in cpufreq drivers. Thus we must stop processing
as soon as this routine fails, otherwise it may result in undefined
behavior.
This patch adds error checking code whenever this routine is called
from any place.

Critical sections of the cpufreq core are protected with the help of
the driver module owner's refcount, which isn't the correct approach,
because it causes rmmod to return an error when some routine has
updated that refcount.
Let's use rwsem for this purpose instead. Only
cpufreq_unregister_driver() will use write sem
and everybody else will use read sem.

The cpufreq governor owner refcount usage is broken. We should only
increment that refcount when a CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_INIT event has come
and it should only be decremented if CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT has come.
Currently, there can be situations where the governor is in use, but
we have allowed it to be unloaded which may result in undefined
behavior. Let's fix it.

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
more consistent by always following this rule.

This patch addresses the following issues in the header files in the
cpufreq core:
- Include headers in ascending order, so that we don't add same
many times by mistake.
- <asm/> must be included after <linux/>, so that they override
whatever they need to.
- Remove unnecessary includes.
- Don't include files already included by cpufreq.h or
cpufreq_governor.h.

The only case triggering a jump to the err_out_unregister label in
__cpufreq_add_dev() is when cpufreq_add_dev_interface() fails.
However, if cpufreq_add_dev_interface() fails, it calls kobject_put()
for the policy kobject in its error code path and since that causes
the kobject's refcount to become 0, the additional kobject_put() for
the same kobject under err_out_unregister and the
wait_for_completion() following it are pointless, so drop them.

The cpufreq core is a little inconsistent in the way it uses the
driver module refcount.
Namely, if __cpufreq_add_dev() is called for a CPU that doesn't
share the policy object with any other CPUs, the driver module
refcount it grabs to start with will be dropped by it before
returning and will be equal to whatever it had been before that
function was invoked.
However, if the given CPU does share the policy object with other
CPUs, either cpufreq_add_policy_cpu() is called to link the new CPU
to the existing policy, or cpufreq_add_dev_symlink() is used to link
the other CPUs sharing the policy with it to the just created policy
object. In that case, because both cpufreq_add_policy_cpu() and
cpufreq_add_dev_symlink() call cpufreq_cpu_get() for the given
policy (the latter possibly many times) without the balancing
cpufreq_cpu_put() (unless there is an error), the driver module
refcount will be left by __cpufreq_add_dev() with a nonzero value
(different from the initial one).
To remove that inconsistency make cpufreq_add_policy_cpu() execute
cpufreq_cpu_put() for the given policy before returning, which
decrements the driver module refcount so that it will be equal to its
initial value after __cpufreq_add_dev() returns. Also remove the
cpufreq_cpu_get() call from cpufreq_add_dev_symlink(), since both the
policy refcount and the driver module refcount are nonzero when it is
called and they don't need to be bumped up by it.
Accordingly, drop the cpufreq_cpu_put() from __cpufreq_remove_dev(),
since it is only necessary to balance the cpufreq_cpu_get() called
by cpufreq_add_policy_cpu() or cpufreq_add_dev_symlink().
