cpufreq: remove sa1100 driver

2023-01-16T08:26:05+00:00

The sa11xx platform has two cpufreq drivers, one for the older StrongARM1100 SoC, and a second one for StrongARM1110. After the removal of most SA1100 based machines, this driver is unused, and only the sa1110-cpufreq driver remains. Acked-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

cpufreq: Remove CPUFREQ_STICKY flag

2021-02-04T18:23:20+00:00

During cpufreq driver's registration, if the ->init() callback for all the CPUs fail then there is not much point in keeping the driver around as it will only account for more of unnecessary noise, for example cpufreq core will try to suspend/resume the driver which never got registered properly. The removal of such a driver is avoided if the driver carries the CPUFREQ_STICKY flag. This was added way back [1] in 2004 and perhaps no one should ever need it now. A lot of drivers do set this flag, probably because they just copied it from other drivers. This was added earlier for some platforms [2] because their cpufreq drivers were getting registered before the CPUs were registered with subsys framework. And hence they used to fail. The same isn't true anymore though. The current code flow in the kernel is: start_kernel() -> kernel_init() -> kernel_init_freeable() -> do_basic_setup() -> driver_init() -> cpu_dev_init() -> subsys_system_register() //For CPUs -> do_initcalls() -> cpufreq_register_driver() Clearly, the CPUs will always get registered with subsys framework before any cpufreq driver can get probed. Remove the flag and update the relevant drivers.

cpufreq: Make cpufreq_generic_init() return void

2019-07-16T08:20:11+00:00

It always returns 0 (success) and its return type should really be void. Over that, many drivers have added error handling code based on its return value, which is not required at all. Change its return type to void and update all the callers. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpufreq: Add CPUFREQ_NO_AUTO_DYNAMIC_SWITCHING cpufreq driver flag

2017-07-25T22:15:46+00:00

The policy->transition_latency field is used for multiple purposes today and its not straight forward at all. This is how it is used: A. Set the correct transition_latency value. B. Set it to CPUFREQ_ETERNAL because: 1. We don't want automatic dynamic switching (with ondemand/conservative) to happen at all. 2. We don't know the transition latency. This patch handles the B.1. case in a more readable way. A new flag for the cpufreq drivers is added to disallow use of cpufreq governors which have dynamic_switching flag set. All the current cpufreq drivers which are setting transition_latency unconditionally to CPUFREQ_ETERNAL are updated to use it. They don't need to set transition_latency anymore. There shouldn't be any functional change after this patch. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar Reviewed-by: Dominik Brodowski Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpufreq: Mark ARM drivers with CPUFREQ_NEED_INITIAL_FREQ_CHECK flag

2014-01-06T13:17:25+00:00

Sometimes boot loaders set CPU frequency to a value outside of frequency table present with cpufreq core. In such cases CPU might be unstable if it has to run on that frequency for long duration of time and so its better to set it to a frequency which is specified in frequency table. On some systems we can't really say what frequency we're running at the moment and so for these we shouldn't check if we are running at a frequency present in frequency table. And so we really can't force this for all the cpufreq drivers. Hence we are created another flag here: CPUFREQ_NEED_INITIAL_FREQ_CHECK that will be marked by platforms which want to go for this check at boot time. Initially this is done for all ARM platforms but others may follow if required. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpufreq: move freq change notifications to cpufreq core

2013-10-30T23:11:08+00:00

Most of the drivers do following in their ->target_index() routines: struct cpufreq_freqs freqs; freqs.old = old freq... freqs.new = new freq... cpufreq_notify_transition(policy, &freqs, CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE); /* Change rate here */ cpufreq_notify_transition(policy, &freqs, CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE); This is replicated over all cpufreq drivers today and there doesn't exists a good enough reason why this shouldn't be moved to cpufreq core instead. There are few special cases though, like exynos5440, which doesn't do everything on the call to ->target_index() routine and call some kind of bottom halves for doing this work, work/tasklet/etc.. They may continue doing notification from their own code as flag: CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION is already set for them. All drivers are also modified in this patch to avoid breaking 'git bisect', as double notification would happen otherwise.

cpufreq: Implement light weight ->target_index() routine

2013-10-25T20:42:24+00:00

Currently, the prototype of cpufreq_drivers target routines is: int target(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int target_freq, unsigned int relation); And most of the drivers call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() to get a valid index of their frequency table which is closest to the target_freq. And they don't use target_freq and relation after that. So, it makes sense to just do this work in cpufreq core before calling cpufreq_frequency_table_target() and simply pass index instead. But this can be done only with drivers which expose their frequency table with cpufreq core. For others we need to stick with the old prototype of target() until those drivers are converted to expose frequency tables. This patch implements the new light weight prototype for target_index() routine. It looks like this: int target_index(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int index); CPUFreq core will call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() before calling this routine and pass index to it. Because CPUFreq core now requires to call routines present in freq_table.c CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE must be enabled all the time. This also marks target() interface as deprecated. So, that new drivers avoid using it. And Documentation is updated accordingly. It also converts existing .target() to newly defined light weight .target_index() routine for many driver.

cpufreq: sa11x0: don't initialize part of policy set by core

2013-10-15T22:50:32+00:00

Many common initializations of struct policy are moved to core now and hence this driver doesn't need to do it. This patch removes such code. Most recent of those changes is to call ->get() in the core after calling ->init(). Cc: Russell King Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki
