x86/cpu: Rename cpu_data.x86_mask to cpu_data.x86_stepping

2020-06-11T07:21:40+00:00

commit b399151cb48db30ad1e0e93dd40d68c6d007b637 upstream. x86_mask is a confusing name which is hard to associate with the processor's stepping. Additionally, correct an indent issue in lib/cpu.c.

cpufreq: speedstep-lib: Use monotonic clock

2015-09-01T13:51:43+00:00

Wall time obtained from do_gettimeofday is susceptible to sudden jumps due to user setting the time or due to NTP. Monotonic time is constantly increasing time better suited for comparing two timestamps. Signed-off-by: Abhilash Jindal Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpufreq: speedstep-smi: enable interrupts when waiting

2015-02-12T01:02:52+00:00

On Dell Latitude C600 laptop with Pentium 3 850MHz processor, the speedstep-smi driver sometimes loads and sometimes doesn't load with "change to state X failed" message. The hardware sometimes refuses to change frequency and in this case, we need to retry later. I found out that we need to enable interrupts while waiting. When we enable interrupts, the hardware blockage that prevents frequency transition resolves and the transition is possible. With disabled interrupts, the blockage doesn't resolve (no matter how long do we wait). The exact reasons for this hardware behavior are unknown. This patch enables interrupts in the function speedstep_set_state that can be called with disabled interrupts. However, this function is called with disabled interrupts only from speedstep_get_freqs, so it shouldn't cause any problem.

cpufreq: Add support for x86 cpuinfo auto loading v4

2012-01-27T00:49:06+00:00

This marks all the x86 cpuinfo tables to the CPU specific device drivers, to allow auto loading by udev. This should simplify the distribution startup scripts for this greatly. I didn't add MODULE_DEVICE_IDs to the centrino and p4-clockmod drivers, because those probably shouldn't be auto loaded and the acpi driver be used instead (not fully sure on that, would appreciate feedback) The old nforce drivers autoload based on the PCI ID. ACPI cpufreq is autoloaded in another patch. v3: Autoload gx based on PCI IDs only.
