ce6c3997c2 [CPUFREQ] Re-enable cpufreq suspend and resume code
Commit 4bc5d34135 is broken and causes regressions:

(1) cpufreq_driver->resume() and ->suspend() were only called on
__powerpc__, but you could set them on all architectures. In fact,
->resume() was defined and used before the PPC-related commit
42d4dc3f4e complained about in 4bc5d34135.

(2) Therfore, the resume functions in acpi_cpufreq and speedstep-smi
would never be called.

(3) This means speedstep-smi would be unusuable after suspend or resume.

The _real_ problem was calling cpufreq_driver->get() with interrupts
off, but it re-enabling interrupts on some platforms. Why is ->get()
necessary?

Some systems like to change the CPU frequency behind our
back, especially during BIOS-intensive operations like suspend or
resume. If such systems also use a CPU frequency-dependant timing loop,
delays might be off by large factors. Therefore, we need to ascertain
as soon as possible that the CPU frequency is indeed at the speed we
think it is. You can do this two ways: either setting it anew, or trying
to get it. The latter is what was done, the former also has the same IRQ
issue.

So, let's try something different: defer the checking to after interrupts
are re-enabled, by calling cpufreq_update_policy() (via schedule_work()).
Timings may be off until this later stage, so let's watch out for
resume regressions caused by the deferred handling of frequency changes
behind the kernel's back.

	arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_counter.c
	arch/x86/kernel/setup_percpu.c

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.

4bc5d34135 [CPUFREQ] Make cpufreq suspend code conditional on powerpc.
The suspend code runs with interrupts disabled, and the powerpc workaround we
do in the cpufreq suspend hook calls the drivers ->get method.

powernow-k8's ->get does an smp_call_function_single
which needs interrupts enabled

cpufreq's suspend/resume code was added in 42d4dc3f4e to work around
a hardware problem on ppc powerbooks.  If we make all this code
conditional on powerpc, we avoid the issue above.

This regression was introduced by git commit:
3f4a782b5c

The policy is released when the cpufreq device is removed in:
__cpufreq_remove_dev():
	/* if this isn't the CPU which is the parent of the kobj, we
	 * only need to unlink, put and exit
	 */

Not creating the symlink is not sever at all.
As long as:
sysfs_remove_link(&sys_dev->kobj, "cpufreq");
handles it gracefully that the symlink did not exist.
Possibly no error should be returned at all, because ondemand
governor would still provide the same functionality.
Userspace in userspace gov case might be confused if the link
is missing.

Suspend/Resume fails on multi socket, multi core systems because the cpufreq
code erroneously sets the per_cpu policy_cpu value when a logical cpu is

This most notably results in missing sysfs files that are used to set the

26d204afa1 [CPUFREQ] Fix NULL pointer dereference regression in conservative governor
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.

cef9615a85 [CPUFREQ] ondemand: Uncouple minimal sampling rate from HZ in NO_HZ case
With this patch you have following minimal sampling rate restrictions:

Kernel restrictions:
If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, the limit is 10ms fixed.
If CONFIG_NO_HZ is not set or no_hz=off boot parameter is used, the
limits depend on the CONFIG_HZ option:
HZ=1000: min=20000us  (20ms)
HZ=250:  min=80000us  (80ms)
HZ=100:  min=200000us (200ms)

HW restrictions:
Do not sample/poll more often than HW latency * 100  exported by the low
level cpufreq HW driver

The higher value of above restrictions is the minimal sampling rate
that can be set (and can be seen via ondemand/sampling_rate_min sysfs file)

Default sampling rate still is HW latency * 1000, but this will now end
up in lower values on latest (Intel and AMD) hardware as these can switch
really fast and sampling rate mostly was limited to the 80ms or 200ms
(depending on whether HZ=250 or HZ=1000 is used).

cpufreq fix timer teardown in ondemand governor

The problem is that dbs_timer_exit() uses cancel_delayed_work() when it should
use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). cancel_delayed_work() does not wait for the
workqueue handler to exit.

The ondemand governor does not seem to be affected because the
"if (!dbs_info->enable)" check at the beginning of the workqueue handler returns
immediately without rescheduling the work. The conservative governor in
2.6.30-rc has the same check as the ondemand governor, which makes things
usually run smoothly. However, if the governor is quickly stopped and then
started, this could lead to the following race :

dbs_enable could be reenabled and multiple do_dbs_timer handlers would run.
This is why a synchronized teardown is required.

The following patch applies to, at least, 2.6.28.x, 2.6.29.1, 2.6.30-rc2.

timer teardown (which fixes a race).

Hrm, I think it must be due to my attempt to fix the timer teardown race
in ondemand governor mixed with new locking behavior in 2.6.30-rc.

The rwlock seems to be taken around the whole call to
cpufreq_governor_dbs(), when it should be only taken around accesses to
the locked data, and especially *not* around the call to
dbs_timer_exit().

Reverting my fix attempt would put the teardown race back in place
(replacing the cancel_delayed_work_sync by cancel_delayed_work).
Instead, a proper fix would imply modifying this critical section :

cpufreq.c: __cpufreq_remove_dev()
...
        if (cpufreq_driver->target)
                __cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);

        unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu);

To make sure the __cpufreq_governor() callback is not called with rwsem
held. This would allow execution of cancel_delayed_work_sync() without
being nested within the rwsem.

Applies on top of the 2.6.30-rc5 tree.

Required to remove circular dep in teardown of both conservative and
ondemande governors so they can use cancel_delayed_work_sync().
CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP does not modify the policy, therefore this locking seemed
unneeded.

129f8ae9b1 Revert "[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod."
This reverts commit e088e4c9cd.

Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
regression in bug 12826.

Course of action:
 - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
   if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
   If it isn't, we need to fix that.
 - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
 - try again with the removal in six months.

It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

f407a08bb7 [CPUFREQ] conservative: fix dbs_cpufreq_notifier so freq is not locked
When someone added the dbs_cpufreq_notifier section to the governor the
code ended up causing the frequency to only fall.  This is because
requested_freq is tinkered with and that should only modified if it has
an invlaid value due to changes in the available frequency ranges

This should fix #10055.

This is part of an effort to reduce structure sizes for machines
configured with large NR_CPUS.  cpumask_t gets replaced by
cpumask_var_t, which is either struct cpumask[1] (small NR_CPUS) or
struct cpumask * (large NR_CPUS).

Previously driver resume would always set the current policy min/max with
the cpuinfo min/max, defined by user_policy.min/max. Resulting in a reset
of policy settings when policy.min/max != cpuinfo.min/max when coming out
of suspend. Now user_policy is saved as the policy instead of cpuinfo to

e088e4c9cd [CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod.
p4-clockmod has a long history of abuse.   It pretends to be a CPU
frequency scaling driver, even though it doesn't actually change
the CPU frequency, but instead just modulates the frequency with
wait-states.
The biggest misconception is that when running at the lower 'frequency'
p4-clockmod is saving power.  This isn't the case, as workloads running
slower take longer to complete, preventing the CPU from entering deep C states.

However p4-clockmod does have a purpose.  It can prevent overheating.
Having it hooked up to the cpufreq interfaces is the wrong way to achieve
cooling however. It should instead be hooked up to ACPI.

This diff introduces a means for a cpufreq driver to register with the
cpufreq core, but not present a sysfs interface.
