2014-03-12cpufreq: add 'freq_table' in struct cpufreq_policyViresh Kumar
freq table is not per CPU but per policy, so it makes more sense to keep it within struct cpufreq_policy instead of a per-cpu variable. This patch does it. Over that, there is no need to set policy->freq_table to NULL in ->exit(), as policy structure is going to be freed soon.

2013-10-31cpufreq: move freq change notifications to cpufreq coreViresh Kumar
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.

2013-10-25cpufreq: Implement light weight ->target_index() routineViresh Kumar
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.

2013-10-16cpufreq: e_powersaver: don't initialize part of policy set by coreViresh Kumar
Many common initializations of struct policy are moved to core now and hence this driver doesn't need to do it. This patch removes such code. Most recent of those changes is to call ->get() in the core after calling ->init(). Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
2013-10-16cpufreq: e_powersaver: Use generic cpufreq routinesViresh Kumar
Most of the CPUFreq drivers do similar things in .exit() and .verify() routines and .attr. So its better if we have generic routines for them which can be used by cpufreq drivers then. This patch uses these generic routines in the e_powersaver driver. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

2013-08-07cpufreq: Use sizeof(*ptr) convetion for computing sizesViresh Kumar
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. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2013-06-24cpufreq: e_powersaver: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error casesViresh Kumar
In case we have started PRECHANGE notifier and found an error, we must call POSTCHANGE notifier with freqs.new = freqs.old. This driver does take care of it, but the POSTCHANGE is called with freqs.new on errors too, which is incorrect, so fix it.

2013-06-04cpufreq: rename index as driver_data in cpufreq_frequency_tableViresh Kumar
The "index" field of struct cpufreq_frequency_table was never an index and isn't used at all by the cpufreq core. It only is useful for cpufreq drivers for their internal purposes. Many people nowadays blindly set it in ascending order with the assumption that the core will use it, which is a mistake. Rename it to "driver_data" as that's what its purpose is. All of its users are updated accordingly. [rjw: Changelog] Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Acked-by: Simon Horman <horms+renesas@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2013-04-02cpufreq: Notify all policy->cpus in cpufreq_notify_transition()Viresh Kumar
policy->cpus contains all online cpus that have single shared clock line. And their frequencies are always updated together. Many SMP system's cpufreq drivers take care of this in individual drivers but the best place for this code is in cpufreq core. This patch modifies cpufreq_notify_transition() to notify frequency change for all cpus in policy->cpus and hence updates all users of this API.

2012-01-26cpufreq: Add support for x86 cpuinfo auto loading v4Andi Kleen
This marks all the x86 cpuinfo tables to the CPU specific device drivers, to allow auto loading by udev. This should simplify the distribution startup scripts for this greatly. I didn't add MODULE_DEVICE_IDs to the centrino and p4-clockmod drivers, because those probably shouldn't be auto loaded and the acpi driver be used instead (not fully sure on that, would appreciate feedback) The old nforce drivers autoload based on the PCI ID. ACPI cpufreq is autoloaded in another patch. v3: Autoload gx based on PCI IDs only.

2011-10-26[CPUFREQ] e_powersaver: Allow user to lower maximum voltageRafał Bilski
Add new module option "set_max_voltage". One of the lessons learned from Adaptive Powersaver is that voltage values returned by processor are for worst case scenario. But required voltage is changing with CPU temperature. And even processors produced in the same batch can have different minimum voltage necessary for stable work at specified frequency. On Elonex Webbook, once system starts, temperature never drops below 48 deg. C. Loading module after systems start allows user to lower CPU voltage and still have stable system. Sadly C7 doesn't allow code to set frequency or voltage from outside limits. If you ask it to set voltage lower then minimum it will ignore you. Thats why it isn't possible to change minimum voltage for minimum frequency too. Changing maximum voltage on Elonex Webbook leads to very good results. Looks like VIA C7 1.6GHz 1084mV can safetly run at 892mV. This means 83% of orginal value. If same percentage applies to power generated it means 12.5W in the place of 15W. Not much, but it is better then nothing. Only C7-M makes it possible. If voltage is too low by 16mV or more you will experience kernel panic. If voltage is too low by 32mV or more you will experience system freeze. Signed-off-by: Rafał Bilski <rafalbilski@interia.pl> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

2011-10-26[CPUFREQ] e_powersaver: Additional checksRafał Bilski
Some systems are using 1,2Ghz@844mV processors running at 600MHz@796mV. Try to detect such systems and don't touch anything on it. If CPU doesn't have P-States in BIOS it should run at maximum frequency. Allow user to bypass checks by means of two new options. Don't set frequency to maximum on module unloading to avoid bada boom. It is also possible that some processors may have incorrect values in min/max registers caused by error in manufacturing process. Probably it would be BIOS job to set them to right frequency and P-States tables would have correct values inside. Two additional sanity checks for voltage.
