The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
ATOMIC CHAINS
-------------

BLOCKING CHAINS
---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier

kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain
It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)
The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

cpufreq are the only remaining bit to be solved for me to have a modpost
clean build for sparc64 - so I took one more look at it.
changelog entry:
Fix section mismatch warnings in cpufreq:
WARNING: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier' (at offset 0xa8) and 'notifier_policy_block'
WARNING: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .exit.text after 'cleanup_module' (at offset 0x30)
The culprint is the function: cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback
It is marked __cpuinit which get's redefined to __init in case
HOTPLUG_CPU is not enabled as per. init.h:
#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
#define __cpuinit
#else
#define __cpuinit __init
#endif
$> grep HOTPLUG .config
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
But cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback() is used in:
__exit cpufreq_stats_exit()
static struct notifier_block cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier
cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier is again used in:
__init cpufreq_stats_init()
__exit cpufreq_stats_exit()
So in both cases used from both __init and __exit context.
Only solution seems to drop __cpuinit tag.

This patch adds proper logic to cpufreq driver in order to handle
CPU Hotplug.
When CPUs go on/offline, the affected CPUs data, cpufreq_policy->cpus,
is not updated properly. This causes sysfs directories and symlinks to
be in an incorrect state after few CPU on/offlines.

Userspace governor need not to hold it's own cpufreq_policy,
better make use of the global core policy.
Also fixes a bug in case of frequency changes via _PPC.
Old min/max values have wrongly been passed to __cpufreq_driver_target()
(kind of buffered) and when max freq was available again, only the old
max(normally lowest freq) was still active.

What is the value shown in "cpu MHz" of /proc/cpuinfo when CPUs are capable of
changing frequency?
Today the answer is: It depends.
On i386:
SMP kernel - It is always the boot frequency
UP kernel - Scales with the frequency change and shows that was last set.
On x86_64:
There is one single variable cpu_khz that gets written by all the CPUs. So,
the frequency set by last CPU will be seen on /proc/cpuinfo of all the
CPUs in the system. What you see also depends on whether you have constant_tsc
capable CPU or not.
On ia64:
It is always boot time frequency of a particular CPU that gets displayed.
The patch below changes this to:
Show the last known frequency of the particular CPU, when cpufreq is present. If
cpu doesnot support changing of frequency through cpufreq, then boot frequency
will be shown. The patch affects i386, x86_64 and ia64 architectures.

The use of the 'ignore_nice' sysfs file is confusing to anyone using it.
This removes the sysfs file 'ignore_nice' and in its place creates a
'ignore_nice_load' entry that defaults to '0'; meaning nice'd processes
_are_ counted towards the 'business' calculation.
WARNING: this obvious breaks any userland tools that expected ignore_nice'
to exist, to draw attention to this fact it was concluded on the mailing
list that the entry should be removed altogether so the userland app breaks
and so the author can build simple to detect workaround. Having said that
it seems currently very few tools even make use of this functionality; all
I could find was a Gentoo Wiki entry.

There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest
function calls lock_cpu_hotplug(). The lock is already held during
cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to
registered clients.
Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and
make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls
but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup.
Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in
all places.
- Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static.
- removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug()
so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and
just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock.
- Removed current_in_hotplug() uses
- Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug()
temporary workaround.
Tested with insmod of cpufreq_stat.ko, and logical online/offline
to make sure we dont have any hang situations.

When calling target drivers to set frequency, we take cpucontrol lock.
When we modified the code to accomodate CPU hotplug, there was an attempt
to take a double lock of cpucontrol leading to a deadlock. Since the
current thread context is already holding the cpucontrol lock, we dont need
to make another attempt to acquire it.
Now we leave a trace in current->flags indicating current thread already is
under cpucontrol lock held, so we dont attempt to do this another time.
Thanks to Andrew Morton for the beating:-)

for stats.
The problem is in the ondemand governor, there is a periodic measurement
of the CPU usage. This CPU usage is updated by the scheduler after every
tick (basically, by adding 1 either to "idle" or to "user" or to
"system"). So if the frequency of the governor is too high, the stat
will be meaningless (as mostly no number have changed).
So this patch checks that the measurements are separated by at least 10
ticks. It means that by default, stats will have about 5% error (20
ticks). Of course those numbers can be argued but, IMHO, they look sane.
The patch also includes a small clean-up to check more explictly the
result of the conversion from ns to µs being null.
Let's note that (on x86) this has never been really needed before 2.6.13
because HZ was always 1000. Now that HZ can be 100, some CPU might be
affected by this problem. For instance when HZ=100, the centrino ,which
has a 10µs transition latency, would lead to the governor allowing to
read stats every tick (10ms)!

cpufreq entries in sysfs should only be populated when CPU is online state.
When we either boot with maxcpus=x and then boot the other cpus by echoing
to sysfs online file, these entries should be created and destroyed when
CPU_DEAD is notified. Same treatement as cache entries under sysfs.
We place the processor in the lowest frequency, so hw managed P-State
transitions can still work on the other threads to save power.
Primary goal was to just make these directories appear/disapper dynamically.
There is one in this patch i had to do, which i really dont like myself but
probably best if someone handling the cpufreq infrastructure could give
this code right treatment if this is not acceptable. I guess its probably
good for the first cut.
- Converting lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() to disable/enable preempt.
The locking was smack in the middle of the notification path, when the
hotplug is already holding the lock. I tried another solution to avoid this
so avoid taking locks if we know we are from notification path. The solution
was getting very ugly and i decided this was probably good for this iteration
until someone who understands cpufreq could do a better job than me.
(akpm: export cpucontrol to GPL modules: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.c now
does lock_cpu_hotplug())

[PATCH] [4/5] ondemand governor automatic downscaling
Here is a change of policy for the ondemand governor. The modification
concerns the frequency downscaling. Instead of decreasing to a lower
frequency when the CPU usage is under 20%, this new policy automatically
scales to the optimal frequency. The optimal frequency being the lowest
frequency which provides enough power to not trigger the upscaling policy.

A new cpufreq module, based on the ondemand one with my additional patches
just posted. This one is more suitable for battery environments where its
probably more appealing to have the cpu freq gracefully increase and decrease
rather than flip between the min and max freq's.
N.B. Bruno Ducrot pointed out that the amd64's "do have unacceptable latency
between min and max freq transition, due to the step-by-step requirements
(200MHz IIRC)"; so AMD64 users would probably benefit from this too.

Trivial ondemand governor clean-ups:
- change from sampling_rate_in_HZ() to the official function
usecs_to_jiffies().
- use for_each_online_cpu() to instead of using "if (cpu_online(i))"

cpufreq core is printing out messages at KERN_WARNING level that the core
recovers from without intervention, and that the system administrator can
do nothing about. Patch below reduces the severity of these messages to
debug.

The cpufreq core patch I sent earlier got only half-applied. I added a
flag to let the low level driver disable an annoying warning on
suspend/resume that is normal on ppc, but the "resume" part of it wasn't
applied.
This just adds back that missing bit. The original patch also reworked
the resume() function to avoid nesting too many if () statements along
the way I did the suspend() one, but I didn't include that in the patch
below.

In order to properly fix some issues with cpufreq vs. sleep on
PowerBooks, I had to add a suspend callback to the pmac_cpufreq driver.
I must force a switch to full speed before sleep and I switch back to
previous speed on resume.
I also added a driver flag to disable the warnings in suspend/resume
since it is expected in this case to have different speed (and I want it
to fixup the jiffies properly).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
