Add a new cpufreq scaling governor, called "schedutil", that uses
scheduler-provided CPU utilization information as input for making
its decisions.
Doing that is possible after commit 34e2c555f3 (cpufreq: Add
mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks) that
introduced cpufreq_update_util() called by the scheduler on
utilization changes (from CFS) and RT/DL task status updates.
In particular, CPU frequency scaling decisions may be based on
the the utilization data passed to cpufreq_update_util() by CFS.
The new governor is relatively simple.
The frequency selection formula used by it depends on whether or not
the utilization is frequency-invariant. In the frequency-invariant
case the new CPU frequency is given by
next_freq = 1.25 * max_freq * util / max
where util and max are the last two arguments of cpufreq_update_util().
In turn, if util is not frequency-invariant, the maximum frequency in
the above formula is replaced with the current frequency of the CPU:
next_freq = 1.25 * curr_freq * util / max
The coefficient 1.25 corresponds to the frequency tipping point at
(util / max) = 0.8.
All of the computations are carried out in the utilization update
handlers provided by the new governor. One of those handlers is
used for cpufreq policies shared between multiple CPUs and the other
one is for policies with one CPU only (and therefore it doesn't need
to use any extra synchronization means).
The governor supports fast frequency switching if that is supported
by the cpufreq driver in use and possible for the given policy.
In the fast switching case, all operations of the governor take
place in its utilization update handlers. If fast switching cannot
be used, the frequency switch operations are carried out with the
help of a work item which only calls __cpufreq_driver_target()
(under a mutex) to trigger a frequency update (to a value already
computed beforehand in one of the utilization update handlers).
Currently, the governor treats all of the RT and DL tasks as
"unknown utilization" and sets the frequency to the allowed
maximum when updated from the RT or DL sched classes. That
heavy-handed approach should be replaced with something more
subtle and specifically targeted at RT and DL tasks.
The governor shares some tunables management code with the
"ondemand" and "conservative" governors and uses some common
definitions from cpufreq_governor.h, but apart from that it
is stand-alone.

Instead of using a per-CPU deferrable timer for queuing up governor
work items, register a utilization update callback that will be
invoked from the scheduler on utilization changes.
The sampling rate is still the same as what was used for the
deferrable timers and the added irq_work overhead should be offset by
the eliminated timers overhead, so in theory the functional impact of
this patch should not be significant.

[ paulmck: resolve conflict due to removal of arch/ia64/kvm/Kconfig. ]
CPUFreq driver's Kconfig entries are added in Kconfig.<arch> files and they are
all included from the main Kconfig file using a menu entry. This creates another
level of (unnecessary) hierarchy within the menuconfig entries.
The problem occurs when there are drivers usable across architectures. Either
their config entry is duplicated in all the supported architectures or is put
into the main Kconfig entry. With the later one, we have menuconfig entries for
drivers at two levels then.
Fix these issues by getting rid of another level of menuconfig hierarchy and
populate all drivers within the main cpufreq menu. To clearly distinguish where
the drivers start from, also add a comment that will appear in menuconfig.

The intel_pstate driver only supports the performance and the powersave
governors. With the performance governor ensuring the highest possible
performance settings, userspace tools fail to make any lasting changes.
In order to allow userspace tools to make modifications to the settings,
the powersave governor must be in use. This makes having the powersave
governor as the default convenient for systems where the intel_pstate
driver is being employed. Having to enable expert mode in the kernel
configuration is just a headache for such a trivial task.
This patch applies to all kernel versions 2.6.38 or greater after the
migration from CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT (6a108a14fa). Most
importantly, this applies to kernel versions 3.9 or greater when the

5fbfbcd3e8 ("cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: remove dependency on THERMAL and
REGULATOR") was a little too quick in completely removing the dependency
on the THERMAL driver.
The problem is that while there are inline wrappers to turn the thermal
API calls into empty functions, those do not help if the cpu-thermal
driver is a loadable module and cpufreq-cpu0 is builtin.
Since CONFIG_CPU_THERMAL is a bool option that decides whether the cpu
code is built into the thermal module or not, we have to use a dependency
on the thermal driver itself. However, if CPU_THERMAL is disabled, we
don't need the dependency, hence the strange '!CPU_THERMAL || THERMAL'
construct.

cpufreq-cpu0 uses thermal framework to register a cooling device, but doesn't
depend on it as there are dummy calls provided by thermal layer when
CONFIG_THERMAL=n. And when these calls fail, the driver is still usable.
Similar explanation is valid for regulators as well. We do have dummy calls
available for regulator APIs and the driver can work even when those calls
fail.
So, we don't really need to mention thermal and regulators as a dependency for
cpufreq-cpu0 in Kconfig as platforms without support for thermal/regulator can
also use this driver. Remove this dependency.

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
"This time, the biggest change is the work of representing hardware
thermal properties in device tree infrastructure.
This work includes the introduction of a device tree bindings for
describing the hardware thermal behavior and limits, and also a parser
to read and interpret the data, and build thermal zones and thermal
binding parameters. It also contains three examples on how to use the
new representation on sensor devices, using three different drivers to
accomplish it. One driver is in thermal subsystem, the TI SoC
thermal, and the other two drivers are in hwmon subsystem.
Actually, this would be the first step of the complete work because we
still need to check other potential drivers to be converted and then
validate the proposed API. But the reason why I include it in this
pull request is that, first, this change does not hurt any others
without using this approach, second, the principle and concept of this
change would not break after converting the remaining drivers. BTW,
as you can see, there are several points in this change that do not
belong to thermal subsystem. Because it has been suggested by Guenter
R that in such cases, it is recommended to send the complete series
via one single subsystem.
Specifics:
- representing hardware thermal properties in device tree
infrastructure
- fix a regression that the imx thermal driver breaks system suspend.
- introduce ACPI INT3403 thermal driver to retrieve temperature data
from the INT3403 ACPI device object present on some systems.
- introduce debug statement for thermal core and step_wise governor.
- assorted fixes and cleanups for thermal core, cpu cooling, exynos
thrmal, intel powerclamp and imx thermal driver"

This patch changes the cpufreq-cpu0 driver to consider if
a cpu needs cooling (with cpufreq). In case the cooling is needed,
the cpu0 device tree node needs to be properly configured
with cooling device properties.
In case these properties are present,, the driver will
load a cpufreq cooling device in the system. The cpufreq-cpu0
driver is not interested in determining how the system should
be using the cooling device. The driver is responsible
only of loading the cooling device.
Describing how the cooling device will be used can be
accomplished by setting up a thermal zone that references
and is composed by the cpufreq cooling device.

As multiplatform build is being adopted by more and more ARM platforms,
initcall function should be used very carefully. For example, when
GENERIC_CPUFREQ_CPU0 is built in the kernel, cpu0_cpufreq_driver_init()

To eliminate this undesired the effect, the patch changes cpufreq-cpu0
driver to have it instantiated as a platform_driver. Then it will only
run on platforms that create the platform_device "cpufreq-cpu0".
Along with the change, it also changes cpu_dev to be &pdev->dev,
so that managed functions can start working, and module build gets

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

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"

references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

Depending on the transition latency of the HW for cpufreq switches, the
ondemand or conservative governor cannot be used with certain cpufreq
drivers. Still the ondemand should be the default governor on a wide range
of systems. This patch allows this and lets the governor fallback to the
performance governor at cpufreq driver load time, if the driver does not
support fast enough frequency switching.
Main benefit is that on e.g. installation or other systems without
userspace support a working dynamic cpufreq support can be achieved on most
systems by simply loading the cpufreq driver. This is especially essential
for recent x86(_64) laptop hardware which may rely on working dynamic
cpufreq OS support.

Adds proper lines to help output of kconfig so people can find the module names.
Also fixed some broken leading spaces versus tabs.

CPU_FREQ_TABLE enables helper code and gets select'ed when it's required.
Building it as a module when it's not required doesn't seem to make much sense.

Update LART site URL.
The LART website moved to http://www.lartmaker.nl/. This patch
updates the URL in CpuFreq specific files.

A new cpufreq module, based on the ondemand one with my additional patches
just posted. This one is more suitable for battery environments where its
probably more appealing to have the cpu freq gracefully increase and decrease
rather than flip between the min and max freq's.
N.B. Bruno Ducrot pointed out that the amd64's "do have unacceptable latency
between min and max freq transition, due to the step-by-step requirements
(200MHz IIRC)"; so AMD64 users would probably benefit from this too.

This comes up time and time again. Until its fixed, place this
comment in the Kconfig which should stem the flow of resubmissions.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
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!
