cpufreq: Bring CPUs up even if cpufreq_online() failed

2017-04-21T07:32:40+00:00

commit c4a3fa261b16858416f1fd7db03a33d7ef5fc0b3 upstream. There is a report that after commit 27622b061eb4 ("cpufreq: Convert to hotplug state machine"), the normal CPU offline/online cycle fails on some platforms. According to the ftrace result, this problem was triggered on platforms using acpi-cpufreq as the default cpufreq driver, and due to the lack of some ACPI freq method (eg. _PCT), cpufreq_online() failed and returned a negative value, so the CPU hotplug state machine rolled back the CPU online process. Actually, from the user's perspective, the failure of cpufreq_online() should not prevent that CPU from being brought up, although cpufreq might not work on that CPU. BTW, during system startup cpufreq_online() is not invoked via CPU online but by the cpufreq device creation process, so the APs can be brought up even though cpufreq_online() fails in that stage. This patch ignores the return value of cpufreq_online/offline() and lets the cpufreq framework deal with the failure. cpufreq_online() itself will do a proper rollback in that case and if _PCT is missing, the ACPI cpufreq driver will print a warning if the corresponding debug options have been enabled.

cpufreq: Restore policy min/max limits on CPU online

2017-03-30T07:44:08+00:00

commit ff010472fb75670cb5c08671e820eeea3af59c87 upstream. On CPU online the cpufreq core restores the previous governor (or the previous "policy" setting for ->setpolicy drivers), but it does not restore the min/max limits at the same time, which is confusing, inconsistent and real pain for users who set the limits and then suspend/resume the system (using full suspend), in which case the limits are reset on all CPUs except for the boot one. Fix this by making cpufreq_online() restore the limits when an inactive policy is brought online. The commit log and patch are inspired from Rafael's earlier work. Reported-by: Rafael J.

cpufreq: Fix and clean up show_cpuinfo_cur_freq()

commit 9b4f603e7a9f4282aec451063ffbbb8bb410dcd9 upstream. There is a missing newline in show_cpuinfo_cur_freq(), so add it, but while at it clean that function up somewhat too. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cpufreq: intel_pstate: Disable energy efficiency optimization

2017-02-03T23:11:08+00:00

Some Kabylake desktop processors may not reach max turbo when running in HWP mode, even if running under sustained 100% utilization. This occurs when the HWP.EPP (Energy Performance Preference) is set to "balance_power" (0x80) -- the default on most systems. It occurs because the platform BIOS may erroneously enable an energy-efficiency setting -- MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL BIT-EE, which is not recommended to be enabled on this SKU. On the failing systems, this BIOS issue was not discovered when the desktop motherboard was tested with Windows, because the BIOS also neglects to provide the ACPI/CPPC table, that Windows requires to enable HWP, and so Windows runs in legacy P-state mode, where this setting has no effect. Linux' intel_pstate driver does not require ACPI/CPPC to enable HWP, and so it runs in HWP mode, exposing this incorrect BIOS configuration. There are several ways to address this problem. First, Linux can also run in legacy P-state mode on this system. As intel_pstate is how Linux enables HWP, booting with "intel_pstate=disable" will run in acpi-cpufreq/ondemand legacy p-state mode. Or second, the "performance" governor can be used with intel_pstate, which will modify HWP.EPP to 0. Or third, starting in 4.10, the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/energy_performance_preference attribute in can be updated from "balance_power" to "performance". Or fourth, apply this patch, which fixes the erroneous setting of MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL BIT_EE on this model, allowing the default configuration to function as designed.

cpufreq: brcmstb-avs-cpufreq: properly retrieve P-state upon suspend

2017-01-27T10:43:49+00:00

The AVS GET_PMAP command does return a P-state along with the P-map information. However, that P-state is the initial P-state when the P-map was first downloaded to AVS. It is *not* the current P-state. Therefore, we explicitly retrieve the P-state using the GET_PSTATE command. Signed-off-by: Markus Mayer Acked-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

We extend the brcm_avs_pmap sysfs entry (which issues the GET_PMAP command to AVS) to include all fields from struct pmap. This means adding mode (AVS, DVS, DVFS) and state (the P-state) to the output. Signed-off-by: Markus Mayer Acked-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix sysfs limits enforcement for performance policy

2017-01-20T02:35:27+00:00

A side effect of keeping intel_pstate sysfs limits in sync with cpufreq is that the now sysfs limits can't enforced under performance policy. For example, if the max_perf_pct is changed from 100 to 80, this will call intel_pstate_set_policy(), which will change the max_perf to 100 again for performance policy. Same issue happens, when no_turbo is set. This change calculates max and min frequency using sysfs performance limits in intel_pstate_verify_policy() and adjusts policy limits by calling cpufreq_verify_within_limits(). Also, it causes the setting of performance limits to be skipped if no_turbo is set.
