      cpufreq: powernv: Set the pstate of the last hotplugged out cpu in policy->cpus to minimum · b120339c
      Preeti U Murthy authored
      
      
      Its possible today that the pstate of a core is held at a high even after the
      entire core is hotplugged out if a load had just run on  the hotplugged cpu. This is
      fair, since it is assumed that the pstate does not matter to a cpu in a deep idle
      state, which is the expected state of a hotplugged core on powerpc. However on powerpc,
      the pstate at a socket level is held at the maximum of the pstates of each core. Even
      if the pstates of the active cores on that socket is low, the socket pstate is held
      high due to the pstate of the hotplugged core in the above mentioned scenario. This
      can cost significant amount of power loss for no good.
      
      Besides, since it is a non active core, nothing can be done from the kernel's end
      to set the frequency of the core right. Hence make use of the stop_cpu callback
      to explicitly set the pstate of the core to a minimum when the last cpu of the
      core gets hotplugged out.

      cpufreq: Allow stop CPU callback to be used by all cpufreq drivers · 789ca243
      Preeti U Murthy authored
      Commit 367dc4aa ("cpufreq: Add stop CPU callback to
      cpufreq_driver interface") introduced the stop CPU callback for
      intel_pstate drivers. During the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE stage, this
      callback is invoked so that drivers can take some action on the
      pstate of the cpu before it is taken offline. This callback was
      assumed to be useful only for those drivers which have implemented
      the set_policy CPU callback because they have no other way to take
      action about the cpufreq of a CPU which is being hotplugged out
      except in the exit callback which is called very late in the offline
      process.
      
      The drivers which implement the target/target_index callbacks were
      expected to take care of requirements like the ones that commit
      367dc4aa
      
       addresses in the GOV_STOP notification event. But there
      are disadvantages to restricting the usage of stop CPU callback
      to cpufreq drivers that implement the set_policy callbacks and who
      want to take explicit action on the setting the cpufreq during a
      hotplug operation.
      
      1.GOV_STOP gets called for every CPU offline and drivers would usually
      want to take action when the last cpu in the policy->cpus mask
      is taken offline. As long as there is more than one cpu in the
      policy->cpus mask, cpufreq core itself makes sure that the freq
      for the other cpus in this mask is set according to the maximum load.
      This is sensible and drivers which implement the target_index callback
      would mostly not want to modify that. However the cpufreq core leaves a
      loose end when the cpu in the policy->cpus mask is the last one to go offline;
      it does nothing explicit to the frequency of the core. Drivers may need
      a way to take some action here and stop CPU callback mechanism is the
      best way to do it today.
      
      2. We cannot implement driver specific actions in the GOV_STOP mechanism.
      So we will need another driver callback which is invoked from here which is
      unnecessary.
      
      Therefore this patch extends the usage of stop CPU callback to be used
      by all cpufreq drivers as long as they have this callback implemented
      and irrespective of whether they are set_policy/target_index drivers.
      The assumption is if the drivers find the GOV_STOP path to be a suitable
      way of implementing what they want to do with the freq of the cpu
      going offine,they will not implement the stop CPU callback at all.

       "Xtensa improvements for 3.17:
         - support highmem on cores with aliasing data cache.  Enable highmem

           with window overflow/underflow exception handlers

         - clean up Kconfig: remove orphan MATH_EMULATION, sort 'select'

        Various fixes:
         - fix address checks in dma_{alloc,free}_coherent (runtime BUG)

      Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
       "Here's the weekly batch of fixes from arm-soc.
      
        The delta is a largeish negative delta, due to revert of SMP support
        for Broadcom's STB SoC -- it was accidentally merged before some
        issues had been addressed, so they will make a new attempt for 3.18.
        I didn't see a need for a full revert of the whole platform due to
        this, we're keeping the rest enabled.
      
        The rest is mostly:
      
         - a handful of DT fixes for i.MX (Hummingboard/Cubox-i in particular)
         - some MTD/NAND fixes for OMAP
         - minor DT fixes for shmobile
         - warning fix for UP builds on vexpress/spc
      
        There's also a couple of patches that wires up hwmod on TI's DRA7 SoC
        so it can boot.  Drivers and the rest had landed for 3.17, and it's
        small and isolated so it made sense to pick up now even if it's not a
        bugfix"
