Impact: use new cpumask API to reduce memory usage
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
preserve what the user actually set.

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.

Use get_cpu_idle_time_us() to get micro-accounted idle information.
This enables ondemand to get more accurate idle and busy timings
than the jiffy based calculation. As a result, we can decrease
the ondemand safety gaurd band from 80-10 to 95-3.
Results in more aggressive power savings.

Change the load calculation algorithm in ondemand to work well with software
coordination of frequency across the dependent cpus.
Multiply individual CPU utilization with the average freq of that logical CPU
during the measurement interval (using getavg call). And find the max CPU

get to the target freq for next sampling interval.

In drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c the function cpufreq_add_dev() takes the
error exit 'err_out_unregister' from different places once with the
'cpu_policy_rwsem' lock held, once with the lock released:

| policy->governor = NULL; /* to assure that the starting sequence is

|
| unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu);
|
| if (ret) {

Currently, affected_cpus shows which CPUs need to have their frequency
coordinated in software. When hardware coordination is in use, the contents
of this file appear the same as when no coordination is required. This can
lead to some confusion among user-space programs, for example, that do not
know that extra coordination is required to force a CPU core to a particular
speed to control power consumption.
To fix this, create a "related_cpus" attribute that always displays the
coordination map regardless of whatever coordination strategy the cpufreq
driver uses (sw or hw). If the cpufreq driver does not provide a value, fall
back to policy->cpus.

Eliminate cpufreq_userspace scaling_setspeed deadlock.
Luming Yu recently uncovered yet another cpufreq related deadlock.
One thread that continuously switches the governors and the other thread that
repeatedly cats the contents of cpufreq directory causes both these threads to
go into a deadlock.
Detailed examination of the deadlock showed the exact flow before the deadlock
as:
Thread 1 Thread 2
________ ________
cats files under /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/
Set governor to userspace
Adds a new sysfs entry for
scaling_setspeed
cats files under /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/
Set governor to performance
Holds cpufreq_rw_sem in write
mode
Sends a STOP notify to
userspace governor
cat /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/scaling_setspeed
Gets a handle on the above sysfs entry with
sysfs_get_active
Blocks while trying to get cpufreq_rw_sem
in read mode
Remove a sysfs entry for
scaling_setspeed
Blocks on sysfs_deactivate
while waiting for earlier
get_active (on other thread)
to drain
At this point both threads go into deadlock and any other thread that tries to
do anything with sysfs cpufreq will also block.
There seems to be no easy way to avoid this deadlock as long as
cpufreq_userspace adds/removes the sysfs entry under same kobject as cpufreq.
Below patch moves scaling_setspeed to cpufreq.c, keeping it always and calling
back the governor on read/write. This is the cleanest fix I could think of,
even though adding two callbacks in governor structure just for this seems
unnecessary.
Note that the change makes scaling_setspeed under /sys/.../cpufreq permanent
and returns <unsupported> when governor is not userspace.

When the cpufreq driver starts up at boot time, it calls into the default
governor which might not be initialised yet. This hurts when the
governor's worker function relies on memory that is not yet set up by its
init function.
This migrates all governors from module_init() to fs_initcall() when being
the default, as was already done in cpufreq_performance when it was the
only possible choice. The performance governor is always initialized early
because it might be used as fallback even when not being the default.
Fixes at least one actual oops where ondemand is the default governor and
cpufreq_governor_dbs() uses the uninitialised kondemand_wq work-queue
during boot-time.
