* [PATCH] cpu hotplug: make [un]register_cpu_notifier init time onlyChandra Seetharaman2006-06-272-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CPUs come online only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined). So, cpu_notifier functionality need to be available only at init time. This patch makes register_cpu_notifier() available only at init time, unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined. This patch exports register_cpu_notifier() and unregister_cpu_notifier() only if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined.

* [PATCH] cpu hotplug: revert init patch submitted for 2.6.17Chandra Seetharaman2006-06-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS. I provided a band-aid solution to solve that problem. In the process, i undid all the changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined). We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18. Here is a set of patches that fixes the XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined). If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run time.

* [CPUFREQ] Fix ondemand vs suspend deadlockVenkatesh Pallipadi2006-06-212-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rootcaused the bug to a deadlock in cpufreq and ondemand. Due to non-existent ordering between cpu_hotplug lock and dbs_mutex. Basically a race condition between cpu_down() and do_dbs_timer(). cpu_down() flow: * cpu_down() call for CPU 1 * Takes hot plug lock * Calls pre down notifier * cpufreq notifier handler calls cpufreq_driver_target() which takes cpu_hotplug lock again. OK as cpu_hotplug lock is recursive in same process context * CPU 1 goes down * Calls post down notifier * cpufreq notifier handler calls ondemand event stop which takes dbs_mutex So, cpu_hotplug lock is taken before dbs_mutex in this flow. do_dbs_timer is triggerred by a periodic timer event. It first takes dbs_mutex and then takes cpu_hotplug lock in cpufreq_driver_target(). Note the reverse order here compared to above. So, if this timer event happens at right moment during cpu_down, system will deadlok. Attached patch fixes the issue for both ondemand and conservative.

* [CPUFREQ] If max_freq got reduced (e.g. by _PPC) a write to sysfs ↵Thomas Renninger2006-04-181-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | scaling_governor let cpufreq core stuck at low max_freq for ever The previous patch had bugs (locking and refcount). This one could also be related to the latest DELL reports. But they only slip into this if a user prog (e.g. powersave daemon does when AC got (un) plugged due to a scheme change) echos something to /sys/../cpufreq/scaling_governor while the frequencies got limited by BIOS. This one works: Subject: Max freq stucks at low freq if reduced by _PPC and sysfs gov access The problem is reproducable by(if machine is limiting freqs via BIOS): - Unplugging AC -> max freq gets limited - echo ${governor} >/sys/.../cpufreq/scaling_governor (policy->user_data.max gets overridden with policy->max and will never come up again.) This patch exchanged the cpufreq_set_policy call to __cpufreq_set_policy and duplicated it's functionality but did not override user_data.max. The same happens with overridding min/max values. If freqs are limited and you override the min freq value, the max freq global value will also get stuck to the limited freq, even if BIOS allows all freqs again. Last scenario does only happen if BIOS does not reduce the frequency to the lowest value (should never happen, just for correctness...) drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c | 17 +++++++++++++++-- 1 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: "Pallipadi, Venkatesh" <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All these changes should make cpufreq_conservative safe in regards to the x86 for_each_cpu cpumask.h changes and whatnot. Whilst making it safe a number of pointless for loops related to the cpu mask's were removed. I was never comfortable with all those for loops, especially as the iteration is over the same data again and again for each CPU you had in a single poll, an O(n^2) outcome to frequency scaling. The approach I use is to assume by default no CPU's exist and it sets the requested_freq to zero as a kind of flag, the reasoning is in the source ;) If the CPU is queried and requested_freq is zero then it initialises the variable to current_freq and then continues as if nothing happened which should be the same net effect as before?

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the conservative govenor was released its codebase has drifted from the the direction and updates that have been applied to the ondemand govornor. This patch addresses the lack of updates in that period and brings conservative back up to date. The resulting diff file between cpufreq_ondemand.c and cpufreq_conservative.c is now much smaller and shows more clearly the differences between the two. Another reason to do this is ages ago, knowingly, I did a piss poor attempt at making conservative less responsive by knocking up DEF_SAMPLING_RATE_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER by two orders of magnitude. I did fix this ages ago but in my dis-organisation I must have toasted the diff and left it the way it was. About two weeks ago a user contacted me saying he was having problems with the conservative governor with his AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+ as /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative showed sampling_rate_min 9950000 sampling_rate_max 1360065408 Nine seconds to decide about changing the frequency....not too responsive :) Signed-off-by: Alexander Clouter <alex-kernel@digriz.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
* | [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changesAlan Stern2006-03-271-35/+26
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder. ATOMIC CHAINS ------------- arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c: powerpc_die_chain arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c: sparc64die_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c: die_chain drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: xaction_notifier_list kernel/panic.c: panic_notifier_list kernel/profile.c: task_free_notifier net/bluetooth/hci_core.c: hci_notifier net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_chain net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_expect_chain net/ipv6/addrconf.c: inet6addr_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain BLOCKING CHAINS --------------- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_policy_notifier_list drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_transition_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/adb.c: adb_client_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c wf_client_list drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain kernel/module.c module_notify_list kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list net/core/dev.c netdev_chain net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.)

* [CPUFREQ] CPU frequency display in /proc/cpuinfoVenkatesh Pallipadi2005-12-061-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | What is the value shown in "cpu MHz" of /proc/cpuinfo when CPUs are capable of changing frequency? Today the answer is: It depends. On i386: SMP kernel - It is always the boot frequency UP kernel - Scales with the frequency change and shows that was last set. On x86_64: There is one single variable cpu_khz that gets written by all the CPUs. So, the frequency set by last CPU will be seen on /proc/cpuinfo of all the CPUs in the system. What you see also depends on whether you have constant_tsc capable CPU or not. On ia64: It is always boot time frequency of a particular CPU that gets displayed. The patch below changes this to: Show the last known frequency of the particular CPU, when cpufreq is present. If cpu doesnot support changing of frequency through cpufreq, then boot frequency will be shown. The patch affects i386, x86_64 and ia64 architectures.

* [PATCH] cpufreq_conservative/ondemand: invert meaning of 'ignore nice'Alexander Clouter2005-12-012-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The use of the 'ignore_nice' sysfs file is confusing to anyone using it. This removes the sysfs file 'ignore_nice' and in its place creates a 'ignore_nice_load' entry that defaults to '0'; meaning nice'd processes _are_ counted towards the 'business' calculation. WARNING: this obvious breaks any userland tools that expected ignore_nice' to exist, to draw attention to this fact it was concluded on the mailing list that the entry should be removed altogether so the userland app breaks and so the author can build simple to detect workaround. Having said that it seems currently very few tools even make use of this functionality; all I could find was a Gentoo Wiki entry.

* [PATCH] clean up lock_cpu_hotplug() in cpufreqAshok Raj2005-11-281-10/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest function calls lock_cpu_hotplug(). The lock is already held during cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to registered clients. Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup. Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in all places. - Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static. - removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug() so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock. - Removed current_in_hotplug() uses - Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug() temporary workaround. Tested with insmod of cpufreq_stat.ko, and logical online/offline to make sure we dont have any hang situations.

* [PATCH] cpu hotplug: fix locking in cpufreq driversAshok Raj2005-11-091-14/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When calling target drivers to set frequency, we take cpucontrol lock. When we modified the code to accomodate CPU hotplug, there was an attempt to take a double lock of cpucontrol leading to a deadlock. Since the current thread context is already holding the cpucontrol lock, we dont need to make another attempt to acquire it. Now we leave a trace in current->flags indicating current thread already is under cpucontrol lock held, so we dont attempt to do this another time.

| * [CPUFREQ] Avoid the ondemand cpufreq governor to use a too high frequency ↵Dave Jones2005-09-201-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for stats. The problem is in the ondemand governor, there is a periodic measurement of the CPU usage. This CPU usage is updated by the scheduler after every tick (basically, by adding 1 either to "idle" or to "user" or to "system"). So if the frequency of the governor is too high, the stat will be meaningless (as mostly no number have changed). So this patch checks that the measurements are separated by at least 10 ticks. It means that by default, stats will have about 5% error (20 ticks). Of course those numbers can be argued but, IMHO, they look sane. The patch also includes a small clean-up to check more explictly the result of the conversion from ns to µs being null. Let's note that (on x86) this has never been really needed before 2.6.13 because HZ was always 1000. Now that HZ can be 100, some CPU might be affected by this problem. For instance when HZ=100, the centrino ,which has a 10µs transition latency, would lead to the governor allowing to read stats every tick (10ms)!
