cpufreq: Add module aliases for acpi-cpufreq

2013-01-22T21:33:46Z

The acpi core will call request_module("acpi-cpufreq") on subsystem init, but this will fail if the module isn't available at that stage of boot. Add some module aliases to ensure that udev can load the module on Intel and AMD systems with the appropriate feature bits - I /think/ that this will also work on VIA systems, but haven't verified that.

cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: use RCU locks around usage of OPP

2013-01-22T12:28:39Z

OPP pointer is RCU protected, hence after finding it, de-reference also should be protected with the same RCU context else the OPP pointer may become invalid.

powernow-k8: Add a kconfig dependency on acpi-cpufreq

2013-01-18T12:43:44Z

Andreas reports in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51741 that with his Gentoo config, acpi-cpufreq wasn't enabled and powernow-k8 couldn't handoff properly to acpi-cpufreq leading to running without P-state support (i.e., cores are constantly in P0). To alleaviate that, we need to make powernow-k8 depend on acpi-cpufreq so that acpi-cpufreq is always present.

cpufreq / governor: Fix problem with cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative

2013-01-03T12:11:19Z

Since commit 2aacdff entitled "cpufreq: Move common part from governors to separate file", whenever the drivers that depend on this new file (cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative) are built as modules, a new module named cpufreq_governor is created because the Makefile includes cpufreq_governor.o twice. As drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_governor.c contains no MODULE directives, the resulting module has no license specified, which results in logging of a "module license 'unspecified' taints kernel". In addition, a number of globals are exported GPL only, and are therefore not available. This fix establishes a new boolean configuration variable that forces cpufreq_governor.o to be linked into the kernel whenever either cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative is selected.

cpufreq / Longhaul: Disable driver by default

2013-01-03T12:11:18Z

This is only solution I can think of. User decides if he wants this driver on his machine. I don't have enough knowledge and time to find the reason why same code works on some machines and doesn't on others which use the same, or very similar, chipset and processor.

cpufreq / stats: fix race between stats allocation and first usage

2013-01-03T12:11:18Z

This patch forces complete struct cpufreq_stats allocation for all cpus before registering CPUFREQ_TRANSITION_NOTIFIER notifier, otherwise in some conditions cpufreq_stat_notifier_trans() can be called in the middle of stats allocation, in this case cpufreq_stats_table already exists, but stat->freq_table is NULL.

cpufreq: ondemand: update sampling rate only on right CPUs

2012-11-27T13:11:19Z

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: > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate Backtrace: Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.585241] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.585311] IP: [] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0xb2/0x170 [snip] Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587005] Call Trace: Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587030] [] mutex_lock+0x22/0x40 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587067] [] store_sampling_rate+0xbf/0x150 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587110] [] ? __do_page_fault+0x1cc/0x4c0 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587153] [] kobj_attr_store+0xf/0x20 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587192] [] sysfs_write_file+0xcd/0x140 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587234] [] vfs_write+0xac/0x180 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587271] [] sys_write+0x52/0xa0 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587306] [] ? do_page_fault+0xe/0x10 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587345] [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Signed-off-by: Fabio Baltieri Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
