  • The naming convention of this driver was always under the scanner, people
    complained that it should have a more generic name than cpu0, as it manages all
    CPUs that are sharing clock lines.

    Also, in future it will be modified to support any number of clusters with
    separate clock/voltage lines.

    Lets rename it to 'cpufreq_dt' from 'cpufreq_cpu0'.

  • A pr_err() was added in v3.1. It was guarded by a check for
    CONFIG_PM_VERBOSE. The Kconfig symbol PM_VERBOSE was removed in v3.0. So
    this pr_err() has never been used. Drop that check and clean up the
    message a bit.

  • Currently cpufreq frequency table has two fields: frequency and driver_data.
    driver_data is only for drivers' internal use and cpufreq core shouldn't use
    it at all. But with the introduction of BOOST frequencies, this assumption
    was broken and we started using it as a flag instead.

    There are two problems due to this:
    - It is against the description of this field, as driver's data is used by
    the core now.
    - if drivers fill it with -3 for any frequency, then those frequencies are
    never considered by cpufreq core as it is exactly same as value of
    CPUFREQ_BOOST_FREQ, i.e. ~2.

    The best way to get this fixed is by creating another field flags which
    will be used for such flags. This patch does that. Along with that various
    drivers need modifications due to the change of struct cpufreq_frequency_table.

  • The cpufreq core now supports suspending and resuming of cpufreq
    drivers and governors during systems suspend and resume, so use
    the common infrastructure instead of defining special PM notifiers
    for the same thing.

  • CPUFreq drivers that use clock frameworks interface,i.e. clk_get_rate(),
    to get CPUs clk rate, have similar sort of code used in most of them.

    This patch adds a generic ->get() which will do the same thing for them.
    All those drivers are required to now is to set .get to cpufreq_generic_get()
    and set their clk pointer in policy->clk during ->init().

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • policy->cpus contains all online cpus that have single shared clock line. And
    their frequencies are always updated together.

    Many SMP system's cpufreq drivers take care of this in individual drivers but
    the best place for this code is in cpufreq core.

    This patch modifies cpufreq_notify_transition() to notify frequency change for
    all cpus in policy->cpus and hence updates all users of this API.
