2011-05-04[CPUFREQ] use dynamic debug instead of custom infrastructureDominik Brodowski
With dynamic debug having gained the capability to report debug messages also during the boot process, it offers a far superior interface for debug messages than the custom cpufreq infrastructure. As a first step, remove the old cpufreq_debug_printk() function and replace it with a call to the generic pr_debug() function. 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" as a boot parameter to the kernel of your choice.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-02-19ACPI: Fix regression where _PPC is not read at boot even when ignore_ppc=0Darrick J. Wong
Earlier, Ingo Molnar posted a patch to make it so that the kernel would avoid reading _PPC on his broken T60. Unfortunately, it seems that with Thomas Renninger's patch last July to eliminate _PPC evaluations when the processor driver loads, the kernel never actually reads _PPC at all! This is problematic if you happen to boot your non-T60 computer in a state where the BIOS _wants_ _PPC to be something other than zero. So, put the _PPC evaluation back into acpi_processor_get_performance_info if ignore_ppc isn't 1. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2009-11-24[ACPI/CPUFREQ] Introduce bios_limit per cpu cpufreq sysfs interfaceThomas Renninger
This interface is mainly intended (and implemented) for ACPI _PPC BIOS frequency limitations, but other cpufreq drivers can also use it for similar use-cases. Why is this needed: Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited. People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have happened by: - any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq - thermal limitations - hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to: - Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits frequency - Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs. While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations. All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch: - powernow-k8 - powernow-k7 - acpi-cpufreq Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1) via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit: # echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq # cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 2600000 2600000 2200000 2200000 # #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations # cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit 2600000 2600000 2800000 2800000 # #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation CC: Pallipadi Venkatesh <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> CC: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> CC: davej@codemonkey.org.uk CC: linux@dominikbrodowski.net Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
2009-11-06ACPI: Notify the _PPC evaluation status to the platformZhao Yakui
According to the ACPI spec(section 8.4.4.3) OSPM should convey the _PPC evaluations status to the platform if there exists the _OST object. The _OST contains two arguments: The first is the PERFORMANCE notificatin event. The second is the status of _PPC object. OSPM will convey the _PPC evaluation status to the platform. Of course when the module parameter of "ignore_ppc" is added, OSPM won't evaluate the _PPC object. But it will call the _OST object. At the same time the _OST object will be evaluated only when the PERFORMANCE notification event is received.

2009-05-29ACPI: sanity check _PSS frequency to prevent cpufreq crashLen Brown
When BIOS SETUP is changed to disable EIST, some BIOS hand the OS an un-initialized _PSS: Name (_PSS, Package (0x06) { Package (0x06) { 0x80000000, // frequency [MHz] 0x80000000, // power [mW] 0x80000000, // latency [us] 0x80000000, // BM latency [us] 0x80000000, // control 0x80000000 // status }, ... These are outrageous values for frequency, power and latency, raising the question where to draw the line between legal and illegal. We tend to survive garbage in the power and latency fields, but we can BUG_ON when garbage is in the frequency field. Cpufreq multiplies the frequency by 1000 and stores it in a u32 KHz. So disregard a _PSS with a frequency so large that it can't be represented by cpufreq. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500311 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2007-01-26[PATCH] ACPI: fix cpufreq regressionIngo Molnar
Recently cpufreq support on my laptop (Lenovo T60) broke completely: when it's plugged into AC it would never go higher than 1 GHz - neither 1.3 GHz nor 1.83 GHz is possible - no matter which governor (userspace, speed or ondemand) is used. After some cpufreq debugging i tracked the regression back to the following (totally correct) bug-fix commit: commit 0916bd3ebb7cefdd0f432e8491abe24f4b5a101e Author: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Date: Wed Nov 22 20:42:01 2006 -0500 [PATCH] Correct bound checking from the value returned from _PPC method. This bugfix, which makes other laptops work, made a previously hidden (BIOS) bug visible on my laptop. The bug is the following: if the _PPC (Performance Present Capabilities) optional ACPI object is queried /after/ bootup then the BIOS reports an incorrect value of '2'. My laptop (Lenovo T60) has the following performance states supported: 0: 1833000 1: 1333000 2: 1000000 Per ACPI specification, a _PPC value of '0' means that all 3 performance states are usable. A _PPC value of '1' means states 1 .. 2 are usable, a value of '2' means only state '2' (slowest) is usable. now, the _PPC object is optional, and it also comes with notification. Furthermore, when a CPU object is initialized, the _PPC object is initialized as well. So the following evaluation of the _PPC object is superfluous: [<c028ba5f>] acpi_processor_get_platform_limit+0xa1/0xaf [<c028c040>] acpi_processor_register_performance+0x3b9/0x3ef [<c0111a85>] acpi_cpufreq_cpu_init+0xb7/0x596 [<c03dab74>] cpufreq_add_dev+0x160/0x4a8 [<c02bed90>] sysdev_driver_register+0x5a/0xa0 [<c03d9c4c>] cpufreq_register_driver+0xb4/0x176 [<c068ac08>] acpi_cpufreq_init+0xe5/0xeb [<c010056e>] init+0x14f/0x3dd And this is the point where my laptop's BIOS returns the incorrect value of '2'. Note that it has not sent any notification event, so the value is probably not really intentional (possibly spurious), and Windows likely doesnt query it after bootup either. Maybe the value is kept at '2' normally, and is only set to the real value when a true asynchronous event (such as AC plug event, battery switch, etc.) occurs. So i /think/ this is a grey area of the ACPI spec: per the letter of the spec the _PPC value only changes when notified, so there's no reason to query it after the system has booted up. So in my opinion the best (and most compatible) strategy would be to do the change below, and to not evaluate the _PPC object in the acpi_processor_get_performance_info() call, but only evaluate it if _PPC is present during CPU object init, or if it's notified during an asynchronous event. This change is more permissive than the previous logic, so it definitely shouldnt break any existing system. This also happens to fix my laptop, which is merrily chugging along at 1.83 GHz now. Yay!

2006-11-23[PATCH] Correct bound checking from the value returned from _PPC method.Dave Jones
processor_perflib.c::acpi_processor_ppc_notifier() check if the value returned by the processor's _PPC method is 0 and return failed if so. This is wrong since 0 indicate that the bios think the processor can go to the highest frequency. This patch for example fix the HP NX 6125 to allow its highest frequency to be available.
