* Docs/subsystem-apis: Remove '[The ]Linux' prefixes from titles of listed ↵SeongJae Park2023-01-241-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | documents Some documents that listed on subsystem-apis have 'Linux' or 'The Linux' title prefixes. It's duplicated information, and makes finding the document of interest with human eyes not easy. Remove the prefixes from the titles.

This is needed in order to be able to leave the thermal pressure interrupts in the Qualcomm CPUfreq driver disabled during initialization, so that it doesn't fire while related_cpus are still 0.

* Documentation: cpufreq: Move legacy driver documentationRafael J. Wysocki2020-03-023-264/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are three legacy driver documents in Documentation/cpu-freq/ that were added years ago and converting them each to the .rst format is rather pointless, even though there is some value in preserving them. However, if they are preserved, they need to go into the admin-guide part of cpufreq documentation where they belong (at least to a certain extent). To preserve them with minimum amount of changes and put them into the right place, and make it possible to process them into HTML (and other formats) along with the rest of the documentation, move them each as a "literal text" block into a separate section of a single .rst "wrapper" file under Documentation/admin-guide/pm/. While at it, repair the PCC specification URL in one of them. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

* Documentation: cpu-freq: Frequencies aren't always sortedViresh Kumar2018-11-071-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The order in which the frequencies are displayed in cpufreq stats depends on the order in which the frequencies were sorted in the frequency table provided to cpufreq core by the cpufreq driver. They can be completely unsorted as well. The documentation's claim that the stats will be sorted in descending order is hence incorrect and here is an attempt to fix it.

* cpufreq: stats: Handle the case when trans_table goes beyond PAGE_SIZEGautham R. Shenoy2017-11-081-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On platforms with large number of Pstates, the transition table, which is a NxN matrix, can overflow beyond the PAGE_SIZE boundary. This can be seen on POWER9 which has 100+ Pstates. As a result, each time the trans_table is read for any of the CPUs, we will get the following error. --------------------------------------------------- fill_read_buffer: show+0x0/0xa0 returned bad count --------------------------------------------------- This patch ensures that in case of an overflow, we print a warning once in the dmesg and return FILE TOO LARGE error for this and all subsequent accesses of trans_table.

Also, some of the important pieces are missing from it. For this reason, add a new user/admin document for cpufreq containing current information to admin-guide and drop the old outdated .txt documents it is replacing.

* | cpufreq: intel_pstate: Operation mode control from sysfsRafael J. Wysocki2017-02-041-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make it possible to change the operation mode of intel_pstate with the help of a new sysfs attribute called "status". There are three possible configurations that can be selected using this attribute: "off" - The driver is not in use at this time. "active" - The driver works as a P-state governor (default). "passive" - The driver works as a regular cpufreq one and collaborates with the generic cpufreq governors (it sets P-states as requested by those governors). [This is the same mode the driver can be started in by passing intel_pstate=passive in the kernel command line.] The current setting is returned by reads from this attribute. Writing one of the above strings to it changes the operation mode as indicated by that string, if possible. If HW-managed P-states (HWP) feature is enabled, it is not possible to change the driver's operation mode and attempts to write to this attribute will fail. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Using a v4.7-rc7 kernel on a HP ProLiant triggered following messages pcc-cpufreq: (v1.10.00) driver loaded with frequency limits: 1200 MHz, 2800 MHz cpufreq: ondemand governor failed, too long transition latency of HW, fallback to performance governor The last line was shown for each CPU in the system. Testing v4.5 (where commit 790d849b was integrated) triggered similar messages. Same behaviour on a 2nd HP Proliant system. So commit 790d849bf (cpufreq: pcc-cpufreq: update default value of cpuinfo_transition_latency) causes the system to use performance governor which, I guess, was not the intention of the patch. Enabling debug output in pcc-cpufreq provides following verbose output: pcc-cpufreq: (v1.10.00) driver loaded with frequency limits: 1200 MHz, 2800 MHz pcc_get_offset: for CPU 0: pcc_cpu_data input_offset: 0x44, pcc_cpu_data output_offset: 0x48 init: policy->max is 2800000, policy->min is 1200000 get: get_freq for CPU 0 get: SUCCESS: (virtual) output_offset for cpu 0 is 0xffffc9000d7c0048, contains a value of: 0xff06.

* | Documentation: cpufreq: delete duplicate description of sysfs interface ↵Wang Long2015-05-051-2/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'scaling_driver' The file 'Documentation/cpu-freq/user-guide.txt' has duplicate description of sysfs interface 'scaling_driver'. [first] scaling_driver : this file shows what cpufreq driver is used to set the frequency on this CPU [second] scaling_driver : Hardware driver for cpufreq. Although this does not affect anything, I think we should only have one. so delete the second one because the first one is described in more detail.

* intel_pstate: Add support for HWPDirk Brandewie2014-11-121-12/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support of Hardware Managed Performance States (HWP) described in Volume 3 section 14.4 of the SDM. With HWP enbaled intel_pstate will no longer be responsible for selecting P states for the processor. intel_pstate will continue to register to the cpufreq core as the scaling driver for CPUs implementing HWP. In HWP mode intel_pstate provides three functions reporting frequency to the cpufreq core, support for the set_policy() interface from the core and maintaining the intel_pstate sysfs interface in /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate. User preferences expressed via the set_policy() interface or the sysfs interface are forwared to the CPU via the HWP MSR interface.

* cpufreq: add support for intermediate (stable) frequenciesViresh Kumar2014-06-051-2/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Douglas Anderson, recently pointed out an interesting problem due to which udelay() was expiring earlier than it should. While transitioning between frequencies few platforms may temporarily switch to a stable frequency, waiting for the main PLL to stabilize. For example: When we transition between very low frequencies on exynos, like between 200MHz and 300MHz, we may temporarily switch to a PLL running at 800MHz. No CPUFREQ notification is sent for that. That means there's a period of time when we're running at 800MHz but loops_per_jiffy is calibrated at between 200MHz and 300MHz. And so udelay behaves badly. To get this fixed in a generic way, introduce another set of callbacks get_intermediate() and target_intermediate(), only for drivers with target_index() and CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION unset. get_intermediate() should return a stable intermediate frequency platform wants to switch to, and target_intermediate() should set CPU to that frequency, before jumping to the frequency corresponding to 'index'. Core will take care of sending notifications and driver doesn't have to handle them in target_intermediate() or target_index(). NOTE: ->target_index() should restore to policy->restore_freq in case of failures as core would send notifications for that.

* PM / OPP: Move cpufreq specific OPP functions out of generic OPP libraryNishanth Menon2014-05-071-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CPUFreq specific helper functions for OPP (Operating Performance Points) now use generic OPP functions that allow CPUFreq to be be moved back into CPUFreq framework. This allows for independent modifications or future enhancements as needed isolated to just CPUFreq framework alone. Here, we just move relevant code and documentation to make this part of CPUFreq infrastructure.

* cpufreq: Make linux-pm@vger.kernel.org official mailing listViresh Kumar2014-05-011-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There has been confusion all the time about which mailing list to follow for cpufreq activities, linux-pm@vger.kernel.org or cpufreq@vger.kernel.org. Since patches sent to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org don't go to Patchwork which is a maintenance workflow problem, make linux-pm@vger.kernel.org the official mailing list for cpufreq stuff and remove all references of cpufreq@vger.kernel.org from kernel source. Later, we can request that the list be dropped entirely. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> [rjw: Changelog] Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
