Add irq count to CPUFreq as a freq change condition.
Because some devices' working mode is unable to issue
CPUFreq change because of low CPU loading, but the cpu
freq will impact these devices' performace significantly.
Interactive govervor will sample the cpu loading as well
as the irq count which is registered. If the
loading or the irq count exceed the threshold we set,
governor will issue an CPUFreq change request.
These devices' irq threshold and enable/disable can be modified
via /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/irq_scaling
echo 0xAABBBC to change the default setting as below
AA : irq number
BBB: threshold
C :enable or disable
Currently only enable USDHC3, USDHC4, GPU, SATA and
USB by default, we can add device to the init struct which is
located in arch/arm/mach-mx6/irq.c.

cpufreq: interactive: New 'interactive' governor
This governor is designed for latency-sensitive workloads, such as
interactive user interfaces. The interactive governor aims to be
significantly more responsive to ramp CPU quickly up when CPU-intensive
activity begins.
Existing governors sample CPU load at a particular rate, typically
every X ms. This can lead to under-powering UI threads for the period of
time during which the user begins interacting with a previously-idle system
until the next sample period happens.
The 'interactive' governor uses a different approach. Instead of sampling
the CPU at a specified rate, the governor will check whether to scale the
CPU frequency up soon after coming out of idle. When the CPU comes out of
idle, a timer is configured to fire within 1-2 ticks. If the CPU is very
busy from exiting idle to when the timer fires then we assume the CPU is
underpowered and ramp to MAX speed.
If the CPU was not sufficiently busy to immediately ramp to MAX speed, then
the governor evaluates the CPU load since the last speed adjustment,
choosing the highest value between that longer-term load or the short-term
load since idle exit to determine the CPU speed to ramp to.
A realtime thread is used for scaling up, giving the remaining tasks the
CPU performance benefit, unlike existing governors which are more likely to
schedule rampup work to occur after your performance starved tasks have
completed.
The tuneables for this governor are:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/min_sample_time:
The minimum amount of time to spend at the current frequency before
ramping down. This is to ensure that the governor has seen enough
historic CPU load data to determine the appropriate workload.
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/go_maxspeed_load
The CPU load at which to ramp to max speed.

(vid case).
Before this patch if we failed the vid transition would still try to
submit the "new" frequencies to cpufreq.
That is incorrect - also we could submit a non-existing frequency value
which would cause cpufreq to crash. The ultimate fix is in cpufreq
to deal with incorrect values, but this patch improves the error
recovery in the AMD powernowk8 driver.
The failure that was reported was as follows:
powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3700+ (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
powernow-k8: fid 0x2 (1000 MHz), vid 0x12
powernow-k8: fid 0xa (1800 MHz), vid 0xa
powernow-k8: fid 0xc (2000 MHz), vid 0x8
powernow-k8: fid 0xe (2200 MHz), vid 0x8
Marking TSC unstable due to cpufreq changes
powernow-k8: fid trans failed, fid 0x2, curr 0x0
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880807e07b78
IP: [<ffffffff81479163>] cpufreq_stats_update+0x46/0x5b
...
And transition fails and data->currfid ends up with 0. Since
the machine does not support 800Mhz value when the calculation is
done ('find_khz_freq_from_fid(data->currfid);') it reports the
new frequency as 800000 which is bogus. This patch fixes
the issue during target setting.
The patch however does not fix the issue in 'powernowk8_cpu_init'
where the pol->cur can also be set with the 800000 value:
pol->cur = find_khz_freq_from_fid(data->currfid);
dprintk("policy current frequency %d kHz\n", pol->cur);
/* min/max the cpu is capable of */
if (cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo(pol, data->powernow_table)) {
The fix for that looks to update cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo to
check pol->cur.... but that would cause an regression in how the
acpi-cpufreq driver works (it sets cpu->cur after calling
cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo). Instead the fix will be to let
cpufreq gracefully handle bogus data (another patch).

If the driver submitted an non-existing pol>cur value (say it
used the default initialized value of zero), when the cpufreq
stats tries to setup its initial values it incorrectly sets
stat->last_index to -1 (or 0xfffff...). And cpufreq_stats_update
tries to update at that index location and fails.
This can be caused by:
stat->last_index = freq_table_get_index(stat, policy->cur);
not finding the appropiate frequency in the table (b/c the policy->cur
is wrong) and we end up crashing. The fix however is
concentrated in the 'cpufreq_stats_update' as the last_index
(and old_index) are updated there. Which means it can reset
the last_index to -1 again and on the next iteration cause a crash.
Without this patch, the following crash is observed:
powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3700+ (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)

When a CPU is taken offline in an SMP system, cpufreq_remove_dev()
nulls out the per-cpu policy before cpufreq_stats_free_table() can
make use of it. cpufreq_stats_free_table() then skips the
call to sysfs_remove_group(), leaving about 100 bytes of sysfs-related
memory unclaimed each time a CPU-removal occurs. Break up
cpu_stats_free_table into sysfs and table portions, and
call the sysfs portion early.

With dynamic debug having gained the capability to report debug messages
also during the boot process, it offers a far superior interface for
debug messages than the custom cpufreq infrastructure. As a first step,
remove the old cpufreq_debug_printk() function and replace it with a call
to the generic pr_debug() function.
How can dynamic debug be used on cpufreq? You need a kernel which has
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled.
To enabled debugging during runtime, mount debugfs and
$ echo -n 'module cpufreq +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
for debugging the complete "cpufreq" module. To achieve the same goal during
boot, append
ddebug_query="module cpufreq +p"
as a boot parameter to the kernel of your choice.

When we discover CPUs that are affected by each other's
frequency/voltage transitions, the first CPU gets a sysfs directory
created, and rest of the siblings get symlinks. Currently, when we
hotplug off only the first CPU, all of the symlinks and the sysfs
directory gets removed. Even though rest of the siblings are still
online and functional, they are orphaned, and no longer governed by
cpufreq.
This patch, given the above scenario, creates a sysfs directory for
the first sibling and symlinks for the rest of the siblings.
Please note the recursive call, it was rather too ugly to roll it
out. And the removal of redundant NULL setting (it is already taken
care of near the top of the function).

The cpufreq subsystem uses sysdev suspend and resume for
executing cpufreq_suspend() and cpufreq_resume(), respectively,
during system suspend, after interrupts have been switched off on the
boot CPU, and during system resume, while interrupts are still off on
the boot CPU. In both cases the other CPUs are off-line at the
relevant point (either they have been switched off via CPU hotplug
during suspend, or they haven't been switched on yet during resume).
For this reason, although it may seem that cpufreq_suspend() and
cpufreq_resume() are executed for all CPUs in the system, they are
only called for the boot CPU in fact, which is quite confusing.
To remove the confusion and to prepare for elimiating sysdev
suspend and resume operations from the kernel enirely, convernt
cpufreq to using a struct syscore_ops object for the boot CPU
suspend and resume and rename the callbacks so that their names
reflect their purpose. In addition, put some explanatory remarks
into their kerneldoc comments.

cpufreq_register_driver sets cpufreq_driver to a structure owned (and
placed) in the caller's memory. If cpufreq policy fails in its ->init
function, sysdev_driver_register returns nonzero in
cpufreq_register_driver. Now, cpufreq_register_driver returns an error
without setting cpufreq_driver back to NULL.
Usually cpufreq policy modules are unloaded because they propagate the
error to the module init function and return that.
So a later access to any member of cpufreq_driver causes bugs like:

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

Adds a new global tunable, sampling_down_factor. Set to 1 it makes no
changes from existing behavior, but set to greater than 1 (e.g. 100)
it acts as a multiplier for the scheduling interval for reevaluating
load when the CPU is at its top speed due to high load. This improves
performance by reducing the overhead of load evaluation and helping
the CPU stay at its top speed when truly busy, rather than shifting
back and forth in speed. This tunable has no effect on behavior at
lower speeds/lower CPU loads.
This patch is against 2.6.36-rc6.

and fix the broken case if a core's frequency depends on others.
trace_power_frequency was only implemented in a rather ungeneric way
in acpi-cpufreq driver's target() function only.
-> Move the call to trace_power_frequency to
cpufreq.c:cpufreq_notify_transition() where CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE
notifier is triggered.
This will support power frequency tracing by all cpufreq drivers
trace_power_frequency did not trace frequency changes correctly when
the userspace governor was used or when CPU cores' frequency depend
on each other.
-> Moving this into the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and pass the cpu
which gets switched automatically fixes this.
Robert Schoene provided some important fixes on top of my initial
quick shot version which are integrated in this patch:
- Forgot some changes in power_end trace (TP_printk/variable names)
- Variable dummy in power_end must now be cpu_id
- Use static 64 bit variable instead of unsigned int for cpu_id

Pavel Machek pointed out that not all CPUs have an efficient
idle at high frequency. Specifically, older Intel and various
AMD cpus would get a higher powerusage when copying files from
USB.
Mike Chan pointed out that the same is true for various ARM
chips as well.
Thomas Renninger suggested to make this a sysfs tunable with a
reasonable default.
This patch adds a sysfs tunable for the new behavior, and uses
a very simple function to determine a reasonable default,
depending on the CPU vendor/type.

The ondemand cpufreq governor uses CPU busy time (e.g. not-idle
time) as a measure for scaling the CPU frequency up or down.
If the CPU is busy, the CPU frequency scales up, if it's idle,
the CPU frequency scales down. Effectively, it uses the CPU busy
time as proxy variable for the more nebulous "how critical is
performance right now" question.
This algorithm falls flat on its face in the light of workloads
where you're alternatingly disk and CPU bound, such as the ever
popular "git grep", but also things like startup of programs and
maildir using email clients... much to the chagarin of Andrew
Morton.
This patch changes the ondemand algorithm to count iowait time
as busy, not idle, time. As shown in the breakdown cases above,
iowait is performance critical often, and by counting iowait,
the proxy variable becomes a more accurate representation of the
"how critical is performance" question.
The problem and fix are both verified with the "perf timechar"
tool.

There is no need to do sysfs_remove_link() or kobject_put() etc.
when policy_rwsem_write is held, move them after releasing the lock.
