Currently update_sampling_rate() runs over each online CPU and
cancels/queues timers on all policy->cpus every time. This should be
done just once for any cpu belonging to a policy.
Create a cpumask and keep on clearing it as and when we process
policies, so that we don't have to traverse through all CPUs of the same
policy.

cpufreq governors evaluate load at sampling rate and based on that they
update frequency for a group of CPUs belonging to the same cpufreq
policy.
This is required to be done in a single thread for all policy->cpus, but
because we don't want to wakeup idle CPUs to do just that, we use
deferrable work for this. If we would have used a single delayed
deferrable work for the entire policy, there were chances that the CPU
required to run the handler can be in idle and we might end up not
changing the frequency for the entire group with load variations.
And so we were forced to keep per-cpu works, and only the one that
expires first need to do the real work and others are rescheduled for
next sampling time.
We have been using the more complex solution until now, where we used a
delayed deferrable work for this, which is a combination of a timer and
a work.
This could be made lightweight by keeping per-cpu deferred timers with a
single work item, which is scheduled by the first timer that expires.
This patch does just that and here are important changes:
- The timer handler will run in irq context and so we need to use a
spin_lock instead of the timer_mutex. And so a separate timer_lock is
created. This also makes the use of the mutex and lock quite clear, as
we know what exactly they are protecting.
- A new field 'skip_work' is added to track when the timer handlers can
queue a work. More comments present in code.

We are comparing policy->governor against cpufreq_gov_ondemand to make
sure that we update sampling rate only for the concerned CPUs. But that
isn't enough.
In case of governor_per_policy, there can be multiple instances of
ondemand governor and we will always end up updating all of them with
current code. What we rather need to do, is to compare dbs_data with
poilcy->governor_data, which will match only for the policies governed
by dbs_data.
This code is also racy as the governor might be getting stopped at that
time and we may end up scheduling work for a policy, which we have just
disabled.
Fix that by protecting the entire function with &od_dbs_cdata.mutex,
which will prevent against races with policy START/STOP/etc.
After these locks are in place, we can safely get the policy via per-cpu
dbs_info.

'timer_mutex' is required to sync work-handlers of policy->cpus.
update_sampling_rate() is just canceling the works and queuing them
again. This isn't protecting anything at all in update_sampling_rate()
and is not gonna be of any use.
Even if a work-handler is already running for a CPU,
cancel_delayed_work_sync() will wait for it to finish.
Drop these unnecessary locks.

Some information is common to all CPUs belonging to a policy, but are
kept on per-cpu basis. Lets keep that in another structure common to all
policy->cpus. That will make updates/reads to that less complex and less
error prone.
The memory for cpu_common_dbs_info is allocated/freed at INIT/EXIT, so
that it we don't reallocate it for STOP/START sequence. It will be also
be used (in next patch) while the governor is stopped and so must not be
freed that early.

There are several races reported in cpufreq core around governors (only
ondemand and conservative) by different people.
There are at least two race scenarios present in governor code:
(a) Concurrent access/updates of governor internal structures.
It is possible that fields such as 'dbs_data->usage_count', etc. are
accessed simultaneously for different policies using same governor
structure (i.e. CPUFREQ_HAVE_GOVERNOR_PER_POLICY flag unset). And
because of this we can dereference bad pointers.
For example consider a system with two CPUs with separate 'struct
cpufreq_policy' instances. CPU0 governor: ondemand and CPU1: powersave.
CPU0 switching to powersave and CPU1 to ondemand:
CPU0 CPU1
store* store*
cpufreq_governor_exit() cpufreq_governor_init()
dbs_data = cdata->gdbs_data;
if (!--dbs_data->usage_count)
kfree(dbs_data);
dbs_data->usage_count++;
*Bad pointer dereference*
There are other races possible between EXIT and START/STOP/LIMIT as
well. Its really complicated.
(b) Switching governor state in bad sequence:
For example trying to switch a governor to START state, when the
governor is in EXIT state. There are some checks present in
__cpufreq_governor() but they aren't sufficient as they compare events
against 'policy->governor_enabled', where as we need to take governor's
state into account, which can be used by multiple policies.
These two issues need to be solved separately and the responsibility
should be properly divided between cpufreq and governor core.
The first problem is more about the governor core, as it needs to
protect its structures properly. And the second problem should be fixed
in cpufreq core instead of governor, as its all about sequence of
events.
This patch is trying to solve only the first problem.
There are two types of data we need to protect,
- 'struct common_dbs_data': No matter what, there is going to be a
single copy of this per governor.
- 'struct dbs_data': With CPUFREQ_HAVE_GOVERNOR_PER_POLICY flag set, we
will have per-policy copy of this data, otherwise a single copy.
Because of such complexities, the mutex present in 'struct dbs_data' is
insufficient to solve our problem. For example we need to protect
fetching of 'dbs_data' from different structures at the beginning of
cpufreq_governor_dbs(), to make sure it isn't currently being updated.
This can be fixed if we can guarantee serialization of event parsing
code for an individual governor. This is best solved with a mutex per
governor, and the placeholder for that is 'struct common_dbs_data'.
And so this patch moves the mutex from 'struct dbs_data' to 'struct
common_dbs_data' and takes it at the beginning and drops it at the end
of cpufreq_governor_dbs().

Currently, ondemand calculates the target frequency proportional to load
using the formula:
Target frequency = C * load
where C = policy->cpuinfo.max_freq / 100
Though, in many cases, the minimum available frequency is pretty high and
the above calculation introduces a dead band from load 0 to
100 * policy->cpuinfo.min_freq / policy->cpuinfo.max_freq where the target
frequency is always calculated to less than policy->cpuinfo.min_freq and
the minimum frequency is selected.
For example: on Intel i7-3770 @ 3.4GHz the policy->cpuinfo.min_freq = 1600000
and the policy->cpuinfo.max_freq = 3400000 (without turbo). Thus, the CPU
starts to scale up at a load above 47.
On quad core 1500MHz Krait the policy->cpuinfo.min_freq = 384000
and the policy->cpuinfo.max_freq = 1512000. Thus, the CPU starts to scale
at load above 25.
Change the calculation of target frequency to eliminate the above effect using
the formula:
Target frequency = A + B * load
where A = policy->cpuinfo.min_freq and
B = (policy->cpuinfo.max_freq - policy->cpuinfo->min_freq) / 100
This will map load values 0 to 100 linearly to cpuinfo.min_freq to
cpuinfo.max_freq.
Also, use the CPUFREQ_RELATION_C in __cpufreq_driver_target to select the
closest frequency in frequency_table. This is necessary to avoid selection
of minimum frequency only when load equals to 0. It will also help for selection
of frequencies using a more 'fair' criterion.
Tables below show the difference in selected frequency for specific values
of load without and with this patch. On Intel i7-3770 @ 3.40GHz:

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.

The ondemand governor calculates load in terms of frequency and
increases it only if load_freq is greater than up_threshold
multiplied by the current or average frequency. This appears to
produce oscillations of frequency between min and max because,
for example, a relatively small load can easily saturate minimum
frequency and lead the CPU to the max. Then, it will decrease
back to the min due to small load_freq.
Change the calculation method of load and target frequency on the
basis of the following two observations:
- Load computation should not depend on the current or average
measured frequency. For example, absolute load of 80% at 100MHz
is not necessarily equivalent to 8% at 1000MHz in the next
sampling interval.
- It should be possible to increase the target frequency to any
value present in the frequency table proportional to the absolute
load, rather than to the max only, so that:
Target frequency = C * load
where we take C = policy->cpuinfo.max_freq / 100.
Tested on Intel i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz and on Quad core 1500MHz Krait.
Phoronix benchmark of Linux Kernel Compilation 3.1 test shows an
increase ~1.5% in performance. cpufreq_stats (time_in_state) shows
that middle frequencies are used more, with this patch. Highest
and lowest frequencies were used less by ~9%.
[rjw: We have run multiple other tests on kernels with this
change applied and in the vast majority of cases it turns out
that the resulting performance improvement also leads to reduced
consumption of energy. The change is additionally justified by
the overall simplification of the code in question.]

Currently we always calculate the CPU iowait time and add it to idle time.
If we are in ondemand and we use io_is_busy, we re-calculate iowait time
and we subtract it from idle time.
With this patch iowait time is calculated only when necessary avoiding
the double call to get_cpu_iowait_time_us. We use a parameter in
function get_cpu_idle_time to distinguish when the iowait time will be
added to idle time or not, without the need of keeping the prev_io_wait.

cpufreq: handle SW coordinated CPUs
This causes additional unnecessary interrupts on all cpus when the load is
recently evaluated by any other cpu. i.e. When load is recently evaluated by cpu
x, we don't really need any other cpu to evaluate this load again for the next
sampling_rate time.
Some sort of code is present to avoid that but we are still getting timer
interrupts for all cpus. A good way of avoiding this would be to modify delays
for all cpus (policy->cpus) whenever any cpu has evaluated load.
This patch does this change and some related code cleanup.

Because we have per cpu timer now, we check if we need to evaluate load again or
not (In case it is recently evaluated). Here the 2nd cpu which got timer
interrupt updates core_dbs_info->sample_type irrespective of load evaluation is
required or not. Which is wrong as the first cpu is dependent on this variable
set to an older value.
Moreover it would be best in this case to schedule 2nd cpu's timer to
sampling_rate instead of freq_lo or hi as that must be managed by the other cpu.
In case the other cpu idles in between then also we wouldn't loose much power.

Currently, there can't be multiple instances of single governor_type.
If we have a multi-package system, where we have multiple instances
of struct policy (per package), we can't have multiple instances of
same governor. i.e. We can't have multiple instances of ondemand
governor for multiple packages.
Governors directory in sysfs is created at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/
governor-name/. Which again reflects that there can be only one
instance of a governor_type in the system.
This is a bottleneck for multicluster system, where we want different
packages to use same governor type, but with different tunables.
This patch uses the infrastructure provided by earlier patch and
implements init/exit routines for ondemand and conservative
governors.

Fix governors code to set all cpu's cdbs->cpu to the the actual cpu id
and use cur_policy->cpu istead of cdbs->cpu to track current governor's
leader cpu.

Modify update_sampling_rate() to check, and eventually immediately
schedule, all CPU's do_dbs_timer delayed work.
This is required in case of software coordinated CPUs, as we now have a
separate delayed work for each CPU.

This patch fixes a bug that occurred when we had load on a secondary CPU
and the primary CPU was sleeping. Only one sampling timer was spawned
and it was spawned as a deferred timer on the primary CPU, so when a
secondary CPU had a change in load this was not detected by the cpufreq
governor (both ondemand and conservative).
This patch make sure that deferred timers are run on all CPUs in the
case of software controlled CPUs that run on the same frequency.

Fix cpufreq_gov_ondemand to skip CPU where another governor is used.
The bug present itself as NULL pointer access on the mutex_lock() call,
an can be reproduced on an SMP machine by setting the default governor
to anything other than ondemand, setting a single CPU's governor to
ondemand, then changing the sample rate by writing on:

Initially ondemand governor was written and then using its code conservative
governor is written. It used a lot of code from ondemand governor, but copy of
code was created instead of using the same routines from both governors. Which
increased code redundancy, which is difficult to manage.
This patch is an attempt to move common part of both the governors to
cpufreq_governor.c file to come over above mentioned issues.
This shouldn't change anything from functionality point of view.

Multiple cpufreq governers have defined similar get_cpu_idle_time_***()
routines. These routines must be moved to some common place, so that all
governors can use them.
So moving them to cpufreq_governor.c, which seems to be a better place for
keeping these routines.

Pull power management updates from Rafael J Wysocki:
- Improved system suspend/resume and runtime PM handling for the SH
TMU, CMT and MTU2 clock event devices (also used by ARM/shmobile).
- Generic PM domains framework extensions related to cpuidle support
and domain objects lookup using names.
- ARM/shmobile power management updates including improved support for
the SH7372's A4S power domain containing the CPU core.
- cpufreq changes related to AMD CPUs support from Matthew Garrett,
Andre Przywara and Borislav Petkov.
- cpu0 cpufreq driver from Shawn Guo.
- cpufreq governor fixes related to the relaxing of limit from Michal
Pecio.
- OMAP cpufreq updates from Axel Lin and Richard Zhao.
- cpuidle ladder governor fixes related to the disabling of states from
Carsten Emde and me.
- Runtime PM core updates related to the interactions with the system
suspend core from Alan Stern and Kevin Hilman.
- Wakeup sources modification allowing more helper functions to be
called from interrupt context from John Stultz and additional
diagnostic code from Todd Poynor.
- System suspend error code path fix from Feng Hong.
Fixed up conflicts in cpufreq/powernow-k8 that stemmed from the
workqueue fixes conflicting fairly badly with the removal of support for
hardware P-state chips. The changes were independent but somewhat
intertwined.

Reevaluate CPU load and update frequency immediately whenever limits
are changed. Currently ondemand doesn't do that when limits are
relaxed, wasting power on systems with relatively low sampling rate.

sampling
When a new sampling rate is shorter than the current one, (e.g., 1 sec
--> 10 ms) regardless how short the new one is, the current ondemand
mechanism wait for the previously set timer to be expired.
For example, if the user has just expressed that the sampling rate
should be 10 ms from now and the previous was 1000 ms, the new rate may
become effective 999 ms later, which could be not acceptable for the
user if the user has intended to speed up sampling because the system is
expected to react to CPU load fluctuation quickly from __now__.
In order to address this issue, we need to cancel the previously set
timer (schedule_delayed_work) and reset the timer if resetting timer is
expected to trigger the delayed_work ealier.

CPUFREQ Remove wall variable from cpufreq_gov_dbs_init()
Remove wall variable from cpufreq_gov_dbs_init() as
get_cpu_idle_time_us() no longer updates the last_update_time
unconditionally. Passing non-NULL last_update_time address
will result in accounting additional idle time with
update_ts_time_stats() before returning idle_sleeptime.
