After commit 87549141d5 (cpufreq: Stop migrating sysfs files on
hotplug) there is a problem with CPUs that share cpufreq policy
objects with other CPUs and are initially offline.
Say CPU1 shares a policy with CPU0 which is online and is registered
first. As part of the registration process, cpufreq_add_dev() is
called for it. It creates the policy object and a symbolic link
to it from the CPU1's sysfs directory. If CPU1 is registered
subsequently and it is offline at that time, cpufreq_add_dev() will
attempt to create a symbolic link to the policy object for it, but
that link is present already, so a warning about that will be
triggered.
To avoid that warning, make cpufreq use an additional CPU mask
containing related CPUs that are actually present for each policy
object. That mask is initialized when the policy object is populated
after its creation (for the first online CPU using it) and it includes
CPUs from the "policy CPUs" mask returned by the cpufreq driver's
->init() callback that are physically present at that time. Symbolic
links to the policy are created only for the CPUs in that mask.
If cpufreq_add_dev() is invoked for an offline CPU, it checks the
new mask and only creates the symlink if the CPU was not in it (the
CPU is added to the mask at the same time).
In turn, cpufreq_remove_dev() drops the given CPU from the new mask,
removes its symlink to the policy object and returns, unless it is
the CPU owning the policy object. In that case, the policy object
is moved to a new CPU's sysfs directory or deleted if the CPU being
removed was the last user of the policy.
While at it, notice that cpufreq_remove_dev() can't fail, because
its return value is ignored, so make it ignore return values from
__cpufreq_remove_dev_prepare() and __cpufreq_remove_dev_finish()
and prevent these functions from aborting on errors returned by
__cpufreq_governor(). Also drop the now unused sif argument from
them.

cpufreq_rwsem was introduced in commit 6eed9404ab ("cpufreq: Use
rwsem for protecting critical sections) in order to replace
try_module_get() on the cpu-freq driver. That try_module_get() worked
well until the refcount was so heavily used that module removal became
more or less impossible.
Though when looking at the various (undocumented) protection
mechanisms in that code, the randomly sprinkeled around cpufreq_rwsem
locking sites are superfluous.
The policy, which is acquired in cpufreq_cpu_get() and released in
cpufreq_cpu_put() is sufficiently protected already.
cpufreq_cpu_get(cpu)
/* Protects against concurrent driver removal */
read_lock_irqsave(&cpufreq_driver_lock, flags);
policy = per_cpu(cpufreq_cpu_data, cpu);
kobject_get(&policy->kobj);
read_unlock_irqrestore(&cpufreq_driver_lock, flags);
The reference on the policy serializes versus module unload already:
cpufreq_unregister_driver()
subsys_interface_unregister()
__cpufreq_remove_dev_finish()
per_cpu(cpufreq_cpu_data) = NULL;
cpufreq_policy_put_kobj()
If there is a reference held on the policy, i.e. obtained prior to the
unregister call, then cpufreq_policy_put_kobj() will wait until that
reference is dropped. So once subsys_interface_unregister() returns
there is no policy pointer in flight and no new reference can be
obtained. So that rwsem protection is useless.
The other usage of cpufreq_rwsem in show()/store() of the sysfs
interface is redundant as well because sysfs already does the proper
kobject_get()/put() pairs.
That leaves CPU hotplug versus module removal. The current
down_write() around the write_lock() in cpufreq_unregister_driver() is
silly at best as it protects actually nothing.
The trivial solution to this is to prevent hotplug across
cpufreq_unregister_driver completely.

Return codes aren't honored properly in cpufreq_set_policy(). This can
lead to two problems:
- wrong errors propagated to sysfs
- we try to do next state-change even if the previous one failed
cpufreq_governor_dbs() now returns proper errors on all invalid

Users of freq table may want to access it for any CPU from
policy->related_cpus mask. One such user is cpu-cooling layer. It gets a
list of 'clip_cpus' (equivalent to policy->related_cpus) during
registration and tries to get freq_table for the first CPU of this mask.
If the CPU, for which it tries to fetch freq_table, is offline,
cpufreq_frequency_get_table() fails. This happens because it relies on
cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() for its functioning which returns policy only for
online CPUs.
The fix is to access the policy data structure for the given CPU
directly (which also returns a valid policy for offline CPUs), but the
policy itself has to be active (meaning that at least one CPU using it
is online) for the frequency table to be returned.
Because we will be using 'cpufreq_cpu_data' now, which is internal to
the cpufreq core, move cpufreq_frequency_get_table() to cpufreq.c.

When all CPUs of a policy are hot-unplugged, we EXIT the governor but
don't mark policy->governor as NULL. This was done in order to keep last
used governor's information intact in sysfs, while the CPUs are offline.
But we also need to clear policy->governor when restoring the policy.
Because policy->governor still points to the last governor while policy
is restored, following sequence of event happens:
- cpufreq_init_policy() called while restoring policy
- find_governor() matches last_governor string for present governors and
returns last used governor's pointer, say ondemand. policy->governor
already has the same address, unless the governor was removed in
between.
- cpufreq_set_policy() is called with both old/new policies governor set
as ondemand.
- Because governors matched, we skip governor initialization and return
after calling __cpufreq_governor(CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS). Because the
governor wasn't initialized for this policy, it returned -EBUSY.
- cpufreq_init_policy() exits the policy on this error, but doesn't
destroy it properly (should be fixed separately).
- And so we enter a scenario where the policy isn't completely
initialized but used.
Fix this by setting policy->governor to NULL while restoring the policy.

__cpufreq_remove_dev_finish() is doing two things today:
- Restarts the governor if some CPUs from concerned policy are still
online.
- Frees the policy if all CPUs are offline.
The first task of restarting the governor can be moved to
__cpufreq_remove_dev_prepare() to restart the governor early. There is
no race between _prepare() and _finish() as they would be handling
completely different cases. _finish() will only be required if we are
going to free the policy and that has nothing to do with restarting the
governor.

policy->kobj is required to be initialized once in the lifetime of a
policy. Currently we are initializing it from __cpufreq_add_dev() and
that doesn't look to be the best place for doing so as we have to do
this on special cases (like: !recover_policy).
We can initialize it from a more obvious place cpufreq_policy_alloc()
and that will make code look cleaner, specially the error handling part.
The error handling part of __cpufreq_add_dev() was doing almost the same
thing while recover_policy is true or false. Fix that as well by always
calling cpufreq_policy_put_kobj() with an additional parameter to skip
notification part of it.

When we hot-unplug a cpu, we remove its sysfs cpufreq directory and if
the outgoing cpu was the owner of policy->kobj earlier then we migrate
the sysfs directory to under another online cpu.
There are few disadvantages this brings:
- Code Complexity
- Slower hotplug/suspend/resume
- sysfs file permissions are reset after all policy->cpus are offlined
- CPUFreq stats history lost after all policy->cpus are offlined
- Special management of sysfs stuff during suspend/resume
To overcome these, this patch modifies the way sysfs directories are
managed:
- Select sysfs kobjects owner while initializing policy and don't change
it during hotplugs. Track it with kobj_cpu created earlier.
- Create symlinks for all related CPUs (can be offline) instead of
affected CPUs on policy initialization and remove them only when the
policy is freed.
- Free policy structure only on the removal of cpufreq-driver and not
during hotplug/suspend/resume, detected by checking 'struct
subsys_interface *' (Valid only when called from
subsys_interface_unregister() while unregistering driver).
Apart from this, special care is taken to handle physical hoplug of CPUs
as we wouldn't remove sysfs links or remove policies on logical
hotplugs. Physical hotplug happens in the following sequence.
Hot removal:
- CPU is offlined first, ~ 'echo 0 >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online'
- Then its device is removed along with all sysfs files, cpufreq core
notified with cpufreq_remove_dev() callback from subsys-interface..
Hot addition:
- First the device along with its sysfs files is added, cpufreq core
notified with cpufreq_add_dev() callback from subsys-interface..
- CPU is onlined, ~ 'echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online'
We call the same routines with both hotplug and subsys callbacks, and we
sense physical hotplug with cpu_offline() check in subsys callback. We
can handle most of the stuff with regular hotplug callback paths and
add/remove cpufreq sysfs links or free policy from subsys callbacks.

Later commits would change the way policies are managed today. Policies
wouldn't be freed on cpu hotplug (currently they aren't freed only for

still be present.
User may accidentally try to update the sysfs files in following
directory: '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/'. And that would
result in undefined behavior as policy wouldn't be active then.
Apart from updating the store() routine, we also update __cpufreq_get()
which can call cpufreq_out_of_sync(). The later routine tries to update
policy->cur and starts notifying kernel about it.

Because we don't mark policy->governor as NULL, it still contains

all the CPUs of a policy are hotplugged out, this pointer wouldn't be
valid anymore. And if we try to read the 'scaling_governor', etc. from

History of which governor was used last is common to all CPUs within a
policy and maintaining it per-cpu isn't the best approach for sure.
Apart from wasting memory, this also increases the complexity of
managing this data structure as it has to be updated for all CPUs.
To make that somewhat simpler, lets store this information in a new
field 'last_governor' in struct cpufreq_policy and update it on removal
of last cpu of a policy.
As a side-effect it also solves an old problem, consider a system with
two clusters 0 & 1. And there is one policy per cluster.
Cluster 0: CPU0 and 1.
Cluster 1: CPU2 and 3.
- CPU2 is first brought online, and governor is set to performance
(default as cpufreq_cpu_governor wasn't set).
- Governor is changed to ondemand.
- CPU2 is taken offline and cpufreq_cpu_governor is updated for CPU2.
- CPU3 is brought online.
- Because cpufreq_cpu_governor wasn't set for CPU3, the default governor
performance is picked for CPU3.
This patch fixes the bug as we now have a single variable to update for
policy.

Also update cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() to check if cpu is part of

There are two cases when we may try to add CPUs we're already handling:
- On boot, the first cpu has marked all policy->cpus managed and so we
will find policy for all other policy->cpus later on.
- When a managed cpu is hotplugged out and later brought back in.
Currently, separate paths and checks take care of the two. While the
first one is detected by testing cpu against 'policy->cpus', the other
one is detected by testing cpu against 'policy->related_cpus'.
We can handle them both via a single path and there is no need to do

All CPUs leaving the first-online CPU are hotplugged out on suspend and
and cpufreq core stops managing them.
On resume, we need to call cpufreq_update_policy() for this CPU's policy
to make sure its frequency is in sync with cpufreq's cached value, as it
might have got updated by hardware during suspend/resume.
The policies are always added to the top of the policy-list. So, in
normal circumstances, CPU 0's policy will be the last one in the list.
And so the code checks for the last policy.
But there are cases where it will fail. Consider quad-core system, with
policy-per core. If CPU0 is hotplugged out and added back again, the
last policy will be on CPU1 :(
To fix this in a proper way, always look for the policy of the first
online CPU. That way we will be sure that we are calling
cpufreq_update_policy() for the only CPU that wasn't hotplugged out.

In __cpufreq_remove_dev_finish(), per-cpu 'cpufreq_cpu_data' needs
to be cleared before calling kobject_put(&policy->kobj) and under
cpufreq_driver_lock. Otherwise, if someone else calls cpufreq_cpu_get()

cpufreq_cpu_get()

read-per-cpu cpufreq_cpu_data

kobject_get(&policy->kobj);

But the race happens when another thread puts the kobject first and updates
cpufreq_cpu_data before or later. And so the first thread gets a valid policy
structure and before it does kobject_get() on it, the second one has already
done kobject_put().
Fix this by setting cpufreq_cpu_data to NULL before putting the kobject and that
too under locks.

CPUFREQ_UPDATE_POLICY_CPU notifications were used only from cpufreq-stats which
doesn't use it anymore. Remove them.
This also decrements values of other notification macros defined after
CPUFREQ_UPDATE_POLICY_CPU by 1 to remove gaps. Hopefully all users are using
macro's instead of direct numbers and so they wouldn't break as macro values are
changed now.

We need to initialize completion and work only on policy allocation and not
really on the policy restore side and so we better move this piece of code to
cpufreq_policy_alloc().

CPUFREQ_STICKY flag is set by drivers which don't want to get unregistered
even if cpufreq-core isn't able to initialize policy for any CPU.
When this flag isn't set, we try to unregister the driver. To find out
which CPUs are registered and which are not, we try to check per_cpu
cpufreq_cpu_data for all CPUs. Because we have a list of valid policies
available now, we better check if the list is empty or not instead of
the 'for' loop. That will be much more efficient.

These variables are just used within adjust_jiffies() and so must be
local to it. Also there is no need of a dummy routine for CONFIG_SMP
case as we can take care of all that with help of macros in the same
routine. It doesn't look that ugly.

We just need to check if a 'policy' is already present for the cpu we are
adding. We don't need to take all the locks and do kobject usage updates. Use
the light-weight cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() routine instead.

There is no point finding out the 'policy' again within __cpufreq_get()
when all the callers already have it. Just make them pass policy instead.

Either we can be setpolicy or target type, nothing else. And so the
else part of setpolicy will automatically be of has_target() type.
And so we don't need to check it again.

We should stop cpufreq governors when we shut down the system. If we
don't do this, we can end up with this deadlock:
1. cpufreq governor may be running on a CPU other than CPU0.
2. In machine_restart() we call smp_send_stop() which stops CPUs.
If one of these CPUs was actively running a cpufreq governor
then it may have the mutex / spinlock needed to access the main
PMIC in the system (perhaps over I2C)
3. If a machine needs access to the main PMIC in order to shutdown
then it will never get it since the mutex was lost when the other
CPU stopped.
4. We'll hang (possibly eventually hitting the hard lockup detector).
Let's avoid the problem by stopping the cpufreq governor at shutdown,
which is a sensible thing to do anyway.
