Commit 3c55e94c0a ("cpufreq: ACPI: Extend frequency tables to cover
boost frequencies") attempted to address a performance issue involving
acpi-cpufreq, the schedutil governor and scale-invariance on x86 by
extending the frequency tables created by acpi-cpufreq to cover the
entire range of "turbo" (or "boost") frequencies, but that caused
frequencies reported via /proc/cpuinfo and the scaling_cur_freq
attribute in sysfs to change which may confuse users and monitoring
tools.
For this reason, revert the part of commit 3c55e94c0a adding the
extra entry to the frequency table and use the observation that
in principle cpuinfo.max_freq need not be equal to the maximum
frequency listed in the frequency table for the given policy.
Namely, modify cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() to allow cpufreq
drivers to set their own cpuinfo.max_freq above that frequency and
change acpi-cpufreq to set cpuinfo.max_freq to the maximum boost
frequency found via CPPC.
This should be sufficient to let all of the cpufreq subsystem know
the real maximum frequency of the CPU without changing frequency
reporting.

In the process of modifying a cpufreq policy, the cpufreq core makes
a copy of it including all of the internals which is stored on the
CPU stack. Because struct cpufreq_policy is relatively large, this
may cause the size of the stack frame to exceed the 2 KB limit and
so the GCC complains when -Wframe-larger-than= is used.
In fact, it is not necessary to copy the entire policy structure
in order to modify it, however.
First, because cpufreq_set_policy() obtains the min and max policy
limits from frequency QoS now, it is not necessary to pass the limits
to it from the callers. The only things that need to be passed to it
from there are the new governor pointer or (if there is a built-in
governor in the driver) the "policy" value representing the governor
choice. They both can be passed as individual arguments, though, so
make cpufreq_set_policy() take them this way and rework its callers
accordingly. This avoids making copies of cpufreq policies in the
callers of cpufreq_set_policy().
Second, cpufreq_set_policy() still needs to pass the new policy
data to the ->verify() callback of the cpufreq driver whose task
is to sanitize the min and max policy limits. It still does not
need to make a full copy of struct cpufreq_policy for this purpose,
but it needs to pass a few items from it to the driver in case they
are needed (different drivers have different needs in that respect
and all of them have to be covered). For this reason, introduce
struct cpufreq_policy_data to hold copies of the members of
struct cpufreq_policy used by the existing ->verify() driver
callbacks and pass a pointer to a temporary structure of that
type to ->verify() (instead of passing a pointer to full struct
cpufreq_policy to it).
While at it, notice that intel_pstate and longrun don't really need
to verify the "policy" value in struct cpufreq_policy, so drop those
check from them to avoid copying "policy" into struct
cpufreq_policy_data (which allows it to be slightly smaller).
Also while at it fix up white space in a couple of places and make
cpufreq_set_policy() static (as it can be so).

By design, cpufreq drivers are responsible for calling
cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() from their ->init()
callbacks to validate the frequency table.
However, if a cpufreq driver is buggy and fails to do so properly, it
lead to unexpected behavior of the driver or the cpufreq core at a
later point in time. It would be better if the core could
validate the frequency table during driver initialization.
To that end, introduce cpufreq_table_validate_and_sort() and make
the cpufreq core call it right after invoking the ->init() callback
of the driver and destroy the cpufreq policy if the table is invalid.
For the time being the validation of the table happens twice, once
from the driver and then from the core. The individual drivers will
be updated separately to drop table validation if they don't need it
for other reasons.
The frequency table is marked "sorted" or "unsorted" by the new helper
now instead of in cpufreq_table_validate_and_show(), as it should only
be done after validating the table (which the drivers won't do going
forward).

Most of the callers of cpufreq_frequency_get_table() already have the

through the per-cpu variable first and then a check to validate the

Directly use the policy->freq_table field instead for them.
Only one user of that API is left after above changes, cpu_cooling.c and
it accesses the freq_table in a racy way as the policy can get freed in
between.
Fix it by using cpufreq_cpu_get() properly.

In some cases it wouldn't be known at time of driver registration, if
the driver needs to support boost frequencies.
For example, while getting boost information from DT with opp-v2
bindings, we need to parse the bindings for all the CPUs to know if
turbo/boost OPPs are supported or not.
One way out to do that efficiently is to delay supporting boost mode
(i.e. creating /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost file), until the
time OPP bindings are parsed.
At that point, the driver can enable boost support. This can be done at
->init(), where the frequency table is created.
To do that, the driver requires few APIs from cpufreq core that let him
do this. This patch provides these APIs.

Users of freq table may want to access it for any CPU from
policy->related_cpus mask. One such user is cpu-cooling layer. It gets a
list of 'clip_cpus' (equivalent to policy->related_cpus) during
registration and tries to get freq_table for the first CPU of this mask.
If the CPU, for which it tries to fetch freq_table, is offline,
cpufreq_frequency_get_table() fails. This happens because it relies on
cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() for its functioning which returns policy only for
online CPUs.
The fix is to access the policy data structure for the given CPU
directly (which also returns a valid policy for offline CPUs), but the
policy itself has to be active (meaning that at least one CPU using it
is online) for the frequency table to be returned.
Because we will be using 'cpufreq_cpu_data' now, which is internal to
the cpufreq core, move cpufreq_frequency_get_table() to cpufreq.c.

Many drivers keep frequencies in frequency table in ascending
or descending order. When governor tries to change to policy->min
or policy->max respectively then the cpufreq_frequency_table_target
could return on first iteration. This will save some iteration cycles.
So, break out early when a frequency in cpufreq_frequency_table
equals to target one.
Testing this during kernel compilation using ondemand governor
with a frequency table in ascending order, the
cpufreq_frequency_table_target returned early on the first
iteration at about 30% of times called.

Currently cpufreq frequency table has two fields: frequency and driver_data.
driver_data is only for drivers' internal use and cpufreq core shouldn't use
it at all. But with the introduction of BOOST frequencies, this assumption
was broken and we started using it as a flag instead.
There are two problems due to this:
- It is against the description of this field, as driver's data is used by
the core now.
- if drivers fill it with -3 for any frequency, then those frequencies are
never considered by cpufreq core as it is exactly same as value of
CPUFREQ_BOOST_FREQ, i.e. ~2.
The best way to get this fixed is by creating another field flags which
will be used for such flags. This patch does that. Along with that various
drivers need modifications due to the change of struct cpufreq_frequency_table.

This commit adds boost frequency support in cpufreq core (Hardware &
Software). Some SoCs (like Exynos4 - e.g. 4x12) allow setting frequency
above its normal operation limits. Such mode shall be only used for a
short time.
Overclocking (boost) support is essentially provided by platform
dependent cpufreq driver.
This commit unifies support for SW and HW (Intel) overclocking solutions
in the core cpufreq driver. Previously the "boost" sysfs attribute was
defined in the ACPI processor driver code. By default boost is disabled.
One global attribute is available at: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost.
It only shows up when cpufreq driver supports overclocking.
Under the hood frequencies dedicated for boosting are marked with a
special flag (CPUFREQ_BOOST_FREQ) at driver's frequency table.
It is the user's concern to enable/disable overclocking with a proper call
to sysfs.
The cpufreq_boost_trigger_state() function is defined non static on purpose.
It is used later with thermal subsystem to provide automatic enable/disable
of the BOOST feature.

Sometimes boot loaders set CPU frequency to a value outside of frequency table
present with cpufreq core. In such cases CPU might be unstable if it has to run
on that frequency for long duration of time and so its better to set it to a
frequency which is specified in freq-table. This also makes cpufreq stats
inconsistent as cpufreq-stats would fail to register because current frequency
of CPU isn't found in freq-table.
Because we don't want this change to affect boot process badly, we go for the
next freq which is >= policy->cur ('cur' must be set by now, otherwise we will
end up setting freq to lowest of the table as 'cur' is initialized to zero).
In case current frequency doesn't match any frequency from freq-table, we throw
warnings to user, so that user can get this fixed in their bootloaders or
freq-tables.

__cpufreq_remove_dev() is called on multiple occasions: cpufreq_driver

Current implementation of this routine is overly complex without much need. If
the cpu to be removed is the policy->cpu, we remove the policy first and add all
other cpus again from policy->cpus and then finally call __cpufreq_remove_dev()
again to remove the cpu to be deleted. Haahhhh..
There exist a simple solution to removal of a cpu:
- Simply use the old policy structure
- update its fields like: policy->cpu, etc.
- notify any users of cpufreq, which depend on changing policy->cpu
Hence this patch, which tries to implement the above theory. It is tested well

With dynamic debug having gained the capability to report debug messages

remove the old cpufreq_debug_printk() function and replace it with a call

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"

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!
