On many platforms, CPUs can do DVFS across cpufreq policies. i.e CPU
from policy-A can change frequency of CPUs belonging to policy-B.
This is quite common in case of ARM platforms where we don't
configure any per-cpu register.
Add a flag to identify such platforms and update
cpufreq_can_do_remote_dvfs() to allow remote callbacks if this flag is
set.
Also enable the flag for cpufreq-dt driver which is used only on ARM
platforms currently.

With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to
certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks
into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target
CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are
certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor
for some time.
One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on
CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the
system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum
demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency
immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this
does not occur.
This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for
remote CPUs as well.
The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to
process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where
the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU.
The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks.
This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling,
galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit
octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements,
while others didn't had much deviation.
The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where
following are required to be true to improve performance and that
doesn't happen too often with these tests:
- Task is migrated to another CPU.
- The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher
OPPs.
- And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the
next tick.
Based on initial work from Steve Muckle.

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.

The max_transition_latency field is rather used to disallow automatic
dynamic frequency switching for platforms which didn't wanted these

The cpufreq core and governors aren't supposed to set a limit on how
fast we want to try changing the frequency. This is currently done for
the legacy governors with help of min_sampling_rate.
At worst, we may end up setting the sampling rate to a value lower than
the rate at which frequency can be changed and then one of the CPUs in
the policy will be only changing frequency for ever.

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
- Improve thermal cpu_cooling interaction with cpufreq core.
The cpu_cooling driver is designed to use CPU frequency scaling to
avoid high thermal states for a platform. But it wasn't glued really
well with cpufreq core.
For example clipped-cpus is copied from the policy structure and its
much better to use the policy->cpus (or related_cpus) fields directly
as they may have got updated. Not that things were broken before this

The goal of this change is to give users a uniform and meaningful
result when they read /sys/...cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
on modern x86 hardware, as compared to what they get today.
Modern x86 processors include the hardware needed
to accurately calculate frequency over an interval --
APERF, MPERF, and the TSC.
Here we provide an x86 routine to make this calculation
on supported hardware, and use it in preference to any
driver driver-specific cpufreq_driver.get() routine.
MHz is computed like so:
MHz = base_MHz * delta_APERF / delta_MPERF
MHz is the average frequency of the busy processor
over a measurement interval. The interval is
defined to be the time between successive invocations
of aperfmperf_khz_on_cpu(), which are expected to to
happen on-demand when users read sysfs attribute
cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq.
As with previous methods of calculating MHz,
idle time is excluded.
base_MHz above is from TSC calibration global "cpu_khz".
This x86 native method to calculate MHz returns a meaningful result
no matter if P-states are controlled by hardware or firmware
and/or if the Linux cpufreq sub-system is or is-not installed.
When this routine is invoked more frequently, the measurement
interval becomes shorter. However, the code limits re-computation
to 10ms intervals so that average frequency remains meaningful.
Discerning users are encouraged to take advantage of
the turbostat(8) utility, which can gracefully handle
concurrent measurement intervals of arbitrary length.

Cpufreq governors may need to know what a particular target frequency
maps to in the driver without necessarily wanting to set the frequency.
Support this operation via a new cpufreq API,
cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq(). This API returns the lowest driver
frequency equal or greater than the target frequency
(CPUFREQ_RELATION_L), subject to any policy (min/max) or driver
limitations. The mapping is also cached in the policy so that a
subsequent fast_switch operation can avoid repeating the same lookup.
The API will call a new cpufreq driver callback, resolve_freq(), if it
has been registered by the driver. Otherwise the frequency is resolved
via cpufreq_frequency_table_target(). Rather than require ->target()
style drivers to provide a resolve_freq() callback it is left to the
caller to ensure that the driver implements this callback if necessary
to use cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq().

The modularity of cpufreq_stats is quite problematic.
First off, the usage of policy notifiers for the initialization
and cleanup in the cpufreq_stats module is inherently racy with
respect to CPU offline/online and the initialization and cleanup
of the cpufreq driver.
Second, fast frequency switching (used by the schedutil governor)
cannot be enabled if any transition notifiers are registered, so
if the cpufreq_stats module (that registers a transition notifier
for updating transition statistics) is loaded, the schedutil governor
cannot use fast frequency switching.
On the other hand, allowing cpufreq_stats to be built as a module
doesn't really add much value. Arguably, there's not much reason
for that code to be modular at all.
For the above reasons, make the cpufreq stats code non-modular,
modify the core to invoke functions provided by that code directly
and drop the notifiers from it.
Make the stats sysfs attributes appear empty if fast frequency
switching is enabled as the statistics will not be updated in that
case anyway (and returning -EBUSY from those attributes breaks
powertop).
While at it, clean up Kconfig help for the CPU_FREQ_STAT and

The 'initialized' field in struct cpufreq_governor is only used by
the conservative governor (as a usage counter) and the way that
happens is far from straightforward and arguably incorrect.
Namely, the value of 'initialized' is checked by
cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() and cpufreq_dbs_governor_exit() and
the results of those checks are passed (as the second argument) to
the ->init() and ->exit() callbacks in struct dbs_governor. Those
callbacks are only implemented by the ondemand and conservative
governors and ondemand doesn't use their second argument at all.
In turn, the conservative governor uses it to decide whether or not
to either register or unregister a transition notifier.
That whole mechanism is not only unnecessarily convoluted, but also
racy, because the 'initialized' field of struct cpufreq_governor is
updated in cpufreq_init_governor() and cpufreq_exit_governor() under
policy->rwsem which doesn't help if one of these functions is run
twice in parallel for different policies (which isn't impossible in
principle), for example.
Instead of it, add a proper usage counter to the conservative
governor and update it from cs_init() and cs_exit() which is
guaranteed to be non-racy, as those functions are only called
under gov_dbs_data_mutex which is global.
With that in place, drop the 'initialized' field from struct
cpufreq_governor as it is not used any more.

The design of the cpufreq governor API is not very straightforward,
as struct cpufreq_governor provides only one callback to be invoked
from different code paths for different purposes. The purpose it is
invoked for is determined by its second "event" argument, causing it
to act as a "callback multiplexer" of sorts.
Unfortunately, that leads to extra complexity in governors, some of
which implement the ->governor() callback as a switch statement
that simply checks the event argument and invokes a separate function
to handle that specific event.
That extra complexity can be eliminated by replacing the all-purpose
->governor() callback with a family of callbacks to carry out specific
governor operations: initialization and exit, start and stop and policy
limits updates. That also turns out to reduce the code size too, so
do it.

Due to differences in the cpufreq core's handling of runtime CPU
offline and nonboot CPUs disabling during system suspend-to-RAM,
fast frequency switching gets disabled after a suspend-to-RAM and
resume cycle on all of the nonboot CPUs.
To prevent that from happening, move the invocation of
cpufreq_disable_fast_switch() from cpufreq_exit_governor() to
sugov_exit(), as the schedutil governor is the only user of fast
frequency switching today anyway.
That simply prevents cpufreq_disable_fast_switch() from being called

Earlier, when the struct freq-attr was used to represent governor

were applied to the governor tunable attributes and they always acquire
the policy->rwsem lock before carrying out the operation. That could
have resulted in an ABBA deadlock if governor tunable attributes are
removed under policy->rwsem while one of them is being accessed
concurrently (if sysfs attributes removal wins the race, it will wait
for the access to complete with policy->rwsem held while the attribute
callback will block on policy->rwsem indefinitely).
We attempted to address this issue by dropping policy->rwsem around
governor tunable attributes removal (that is, around invocations of the
->governor callback with the event arg equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT)
in cpufreq_set_policy(), but that opened up race conditions that had not
been possible with policy->rwsem held all the time.

The cpufreq sysfs interface had been a bit inconsistent as one of the

and all other CPUs had links to it. That also made the code a bit
complex as we need to take care of moving the sysfs directory if the CPU
containing the real directory is getting physically hot-unplugged.
Solve this by creating 'policyX' directories (per-policy) in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ directory, where X is the CPU for which
the policy was first created.

In some cases it wouldn't be known at time of driver registration, if
the driver needs to support boost frequencies.
For example, while getting boost information from DT with opp-v2
bindings, we need to parse the bindings for all the CPUs to know if
turbo/boost OPPs are supported or not.
One way out to do that efficiently is to delay supporting boost mode
(i.e. creating /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost file), until the
time OPP bindings are parsed.
At that point, the driver can enable boost support. This can be done at
->init(), where the frequency table is created.
To do that, the driver requires few APIs from cpufreq core that let him
do this. This patch provides these APIs.

After commit 87549141d5 (cpufreq: Stop migrating sysfs files on
hotplug) there is a problem with CPUs that share cpufreq policy
objects with other CPUs and are initially offline.
Say CPU1 shares a policy with CPU0 which is online and is registered
first. As part of the registration process, cpufreq_add_dev() is
called for it. It creates the policy object and a symbolic link
to it from the CPU1's sysfs directory. If CPU1 is registered
subsequently and it is offline at that time, cpufreq_add_dev() will
attempt to create a symbolic link to the policy object for it, but
that link is present already, so a warning about that will be
triggered.
To avoid that warning, make cpufreq use an additional CPU mask
containing related CPUs that are actually present for each policy
object. That mask is initialized when the policy object is populated
after its creation (for the first online CPU using it) and it includes
CPUs from the "policy CPUs" mask returned by the cpufreq driver's
->init() callback that are physically present at that time. Symbolic
links to the policy are created only for the CPUs in that mask.
If cpufreq_add_dev() is invoked for an offline CPU, it checks the
new mask and only creates the symlink if the CPU was not in it (the
CPU is added to the mask at the same time).
In turn, cpufreq_remove_dev() drops the given CPU from the new mask,
removes its symlink to the policy object and returns, unless it is
the CPU owning the policy object. In that case, the policy object
is moved to a new CPU's sysfs directory or deleted if the CPU being
removed was the last user of the policy.
While at it, notice that cpufreq_remove_dev() can't fail, because
its return value is ignored, so make it ignore return values from
__cpufreq_remove_dev_prepare() and __cpufreq_remove_dev_finish()
and prevent these functions from aborting on errors returned by
__cpufreq_governor(). Also drop the now unused sif argument from
them.

History of which governor was used last is common to all CPUs within a
policy and maintaining it per-cpu isn't the best approach for sure.
Apart from wasting memory, this also increases the complexity of
managing this data structure as it has to be updated for all CPUs.
To make that somewhat simpler, lets store this information in a new
field 'last_governor' in struct cpufreq_policy and update it on removal
of last cpu of a policy.
As a side-effect it also solves an old problem, consider a system with
two clusters 0 & 1. And there is one policy per cluster.
Cluster 0: CPU0 and 1.
Cluster 1: CPU2 and 3.
- CPU2 is first brought online, and governor is set to performance
(default as cpufreq_cpu_governor wasn't set).
- Governor is changed to ondemand.
- CPU2 is taken offline and cpufreq_cpu_governor is updated for CPU2.
- CPU3 is brought online.
- Because cpufreq_cpu_governor wasn't set for CPU3, the default governor
performance is picked for CPU3.
This patch fixes the bug as we now have a single variable to update for
policy.

Douglas Anderson, recently pointed out an interesting problem due to which
udelay() was expiring earlier than it should.
While transitioning between frequencies few platforms may temporarily switch to
a stable frequency, waiting for the main PLL to stabilize.
For example: When we transition between very low frequencies on exynos, like
between 200MHz and 300MHz, we may temporarily switch to a PLL running at 800MHz.
No CPUFREQ notification is sent for that. That means there's a period of time
when we're running at 800MHz but loops_per_jiffy is calibrated at between 200MHz
and 300MHz. And so udelay behaves badly.
To get this fixed in a generic way, introduce another set of callbacks
get_intermediate() and target_intermediate(), only for drivers with
target_index() and CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION unset.
get_intermediate() should return a stable intermediate frequency platform wants
to switch to, and target_intermediate() should set CPU to that frequency,
before jumping to the frequency corresponding to 'index'. Core will take care of
sending notifications and driver doesn't have to handle them in
target_intermediate() or target_index().
NOTE: ->target_index() should restore to policy->restore_freq in case of
failures as core would send notifications for that.

Some cpufreq drivers were redundantly invoking the _begin() and _end()
APIs around frequency transitions, and this double invocation (one from
the cpufreq core and the other from the cpufreq driver) used to result
in a self-deadlock, leading to system hangs during boot. (The _begin()
API makes contending callers wait until the previous invocation is
complete. Hence, the cpufreq driver would end up waiting on itself!).
Now all such drivers have been fixed, but debugging this issue was not
very straight-forward (even lockdep didn't catch this). So let us add a
debug infrastructure to the cpufreq core to catch such issues more easily
in the future.
We add a new field called 'transition_task' to the policy structure, to keep
track of the task which is performing the frequency transition. Using this
field, we make note of this task during _begin() and print a warning if we
find a case where the same task is calling _begin() again, before completing
the previous frequency transition using the corresponding _end().
We have left out ASYNC_NOTIFICATION drivers from this debug infrastructure
for 2 reasons:
1. At the moment, we have no way to avoid a particular scenario where this
debug infrastructure can emit false-positive warnings for such drivers.
The scenario is depicted below:
Task A Task B
/* 1st freq transition */
Invoke _begin() {
...
...
}
Change the frequency
/* 2nd freq transition */
Invoke _begin() {
... //waiting for B to
... //finish _end() for
... //the 1st transition
... | Got interrupt for successful
... | change of frequency (1st one).
... |
... | /* 1st freq transition */
... | Invoke _end() {
... | ...
... V }
...
...
}
This scenario is actually deadlock-free because, once Task A changes the
frequency, it is Task B's responsibility to invoke the corresponding
_end() for the 1st frequency transition. Hence it is perfectly legal for
Task A to go ahead and attempt another frequency transition in the meantime.
(Of course it won't be able to proceed until Task B finishes the 1st _end(),
but this doesn't cause a deadlock or a hang).
The debug infrastructure cannot handle this scenario and will treat it as
a deadlock and print a warning. To avoid this, we exclude such drivers
from the purview of this code.
2. Luckily, we don't _need_ this infrastructure for ASYNC_NOTIFICATION drivers
at all! The cpufreq core does not automatically invoke the _begin() and
_end() APIs during frequency transitions in such drivers. Thus, the driver
alone is responsible for invoking _begin()/_end() and hence there shouldn't
be any conflicts which lead to double invocations. So, we can skip these
drivers, since the probability that such drivers will hit this problem is
extremely low, as outlined above.

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.

Whenever we change the frequency of a CPU, we call the PRECHANGE and POSTCHANGE
notifiers. They must be serialized, i.e. PRECHANGE and POSTCHANGE notifiers
should strictly alternate, thereby preventing two different sets of PRECHANGE or
POSTCHANGE notifiers from interleaving arbitrarily.
The following examples illustrate why this is important:
Scenario 1:
-----------
A thread reading the value of cpuinfo_cur_freq, will call
__cpufreq_cpu_get()->cpufreq_out_of_sync()->cpufreq_notify_transition()
The ondemand governor can decide to change the frequency of the CPU at the same
time and hence it can end up sending the notifications via ->target().
If the notifiers are not serialized, the following sequence can occur:
- PRECHANGE Notification for freq A (from cpuinfo_cur_freq)
- PRECHANGE Notification for freq B (from target())
- Freq changed by target() to B
- POSTCHANGE Notification for freq B
- POSTCHANGE Notification for freq A
We can see from the above that the last POSTCHANGE Notification happens for freq
A but the hardware is set to run at freq B.
Where would we break then?: adjust_jiffies() in cpufreq.c & cpufreq_callback()
in arch/arm/kernel/smp.c (which also adjusts the jiffies). All the
loops_per_jiffy calculations will get messed up.
Scenario 2:
-----------
The governor calls __cpufreq_driver_target() to change the frequency. At the
same time, if we change scaling_{min|max}_freq from sysfs, it will end up
calling the governor's CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS notification, which will also call
__cpufreq_driver_target(). And hence we end up issuing concurrent calls to
->target().
Typically, platforms have the following logic in their ->target() routines:
(Eg: cpufreq-cpu0, omap, exynos, etc)
A. If new freq is more than old: Increase voltage
B. Change freq
C. If new freq is less than old: decrease voltage
Now, if the two concurrent calls to ->target() are X and Y, where X is trying to
increase the freq and Y is trying to decrease it, we get the following race
condition:
X.A: voltage gets increased for larger freq
Y.A: nothing happens
Y.B: freq gets decreased
Y.C: voltage gets decreased
X.B: freq gets increased
X.C: nothing happens
Thus we can end up setting a freq which is not supported by the voltage we have
set. That will probably make the clock to the CPU unstable and the system might
not work properly anymore.
This patch introduces a set of synchronization primitives to serialize frequency
transitions, which are to be used as shown below:
cpufreq_freq_transition_begin();
//Perform the frequency change
cpufreq_freq_transition_end();
The _begin() call sends the PRECHANGE notification whereas the _end() call sends
the POSTCHANGE notification. Also, all the necessary synchronization is handled
within these calls. In particular, even drivers which set the ASYNC_NOTIFICATION
flag can also use these APIs for performing frequency transitions (ie., you can
call _begin() from one task, and call the corresponding _end() from a different
task).
The actual synchronization underneath is not that complicated:
The key challenge is to allow drivers to begin the transition from one thread
and end it in a completely different thread (this is to enable drivers that do
asynchronous POSTCHANGE notification from bottom-halves, to also use the same
interface).
To achieve this, a 'transition_ongoing' flag, a 'transition_lock' spinlock and a
wait-queue are added per-policy. The flag and the wait-queue are used in
conjunction to create an "uninterrupted flow" from _begin() to _end(). The
spinlock is used to ensure that only one such "flow" is in flight at any given
time. Put together, this provides us all the necessary synchronization.

by the intel_pstate driver to reduce the requested P state prior to

This patch adds cpufreq suspend/resume calls to dpm_{suspend|resume}()
for handling suspend/resume of cpufreq governors.
Lan Tianyu (Intel) & Jinhyuk Choi (Broadcom) found an issue where the
tunables configuration for clusters/sockets with non-boot CPUs was
lost after system suspend/resume, as we were notifying governors with
CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT on removal of the last CPU for that policy
which caused the tunables memory to be freed.
This is fixed by preventing any governor operations from being
carried out between the device suspend and device resume stages of
system suspend and resume, respectively.
We could have added these callbacks at dpm_{suspend|resume}_noirq()
level, but there is an additional problem that the majority of I/O
devices is already suspended at that point and if cpufreq drivers
want to change the frequency before suspending, then that not be
possible on some platforms (which depend on peripherals like i2c,
regulators, etc).

This commit adds boost frequency support in cpufreq core (Hardware &
Software). Some SoCs (like Exynos4 - e.g. 4x12) allow setting frequency
above its normal operation limits. Such mode shall be only used for a
short time.
Overclocking (boost) support is essentially provided by platform
dependent cpufreq driver.
This commit unifies support for SW and HW (Intel) overclocking solutions
in the core cpufreq driver. Previously the "boost" sysfs attribute was
defined in the ACPI processor driver code. By default boost is disabled.
One global attribute is available at: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost.
It only shows up when cpufreq driver supports overclocking.
Under the hood frequencies dedicated for boosting are marked with a
special flag (CPUFREQ_BOOST_FREQ) at driver's frequency table.
It is the user's concern to enable/disable overclocking with a proper call
to sysfs.
The cpufreq_boost_trigger_state() function is defined non static on purpose.
It is used later with thermal subsystem to provide automatic enable/disable
of the BOOST feature.

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().

There are several problems with cpufreq stats in the way it handles
cpufreq_unregister_driver() and suspend/resume..
- We must not lose data collected so far when suspend/resume happens
and so stats directories must not be removed/allocated during these
operations, which is done currently.
- cpufreq_stat has registered notifiers with both cpufreq and hotplug.
It adds sysfs stats directory with a cpufreq notifier: CPUFREQ_NOTIFY
and removes this directory with a notifier from hotplug core.
In case cpufreq_unregister_driver() is called (on rmmod cpufreq driver),
stats directories per cpu aren't removed as CPUs are still online. The
only call cpufreq_stats gets is cpufreq_stats_update_policy_cpu() for
all CPUs except the last of each policy. And pointer to stat information
is stored in the entry for last CPU in the per-cpu cpufreq_stats_table.
But policy structure would be freed inside cpufreq core and so that will
result in memory leak inside cpufreq stats (as we are never freeing
memory for stats).
Now if we again insert the module cpufreq_register_driver() will be
called and we will again allocate stats data and put it on for first
CPU of every policy. In case we only have a single CPU per policy, we
will return with a error from cpufreq_stats_create_table() due to this
code:
if (per_cpu(cpufreq_stats_table, cpu))
return -EBUSY;
And so probably cpufreq stats directory would not show up anymore (as
it was added inside last policies->kobj which doesn't exist anymore).
I haven't tested it, though. Also the values in stats files wouldn't
be refreshed as we are using the earlier stats structure.
- CPUFREQ_NOTIFY is called from cpufreq_set_policy() which is called for
scenarios where we don't really want cpufreq_stat_notifier_policy() to get
called. For example whenever we are changing anything related to a policy:
min/max/current freq, etc. cpufreq_set_policy() is called and so cpufreq
stats is notified. Where we don't do any useful stuff other than simply
returning with -EBUSY from cpufreq_stats_create_table(). And so this
isn't the right notifier that cpufreq stats..
Due to all above reasons this patch does following changes:
- Add new notifiers CPUFREQ_CREATE_POLICY and CPUFREQ_REMOVE_POLICY,
which are only called when policy is created/destroyed. They aren't
called for suspend/resume paths..
- Use these notifiers in cpufreq_stat_notifier_policy() to create/destory
stats sysfs entries. And so cpufreq_unregister_driver() or suspend/resume
shouldn't be a problem for cpufreq_stats.
- Return early from cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback() for suspend/resume sequence,
so that we don't free stats structure.

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 freq-table. This also makes cpufreq stats
inconsistent as cpufreq-stats would fail to register because current frequency
of CPU isn't found in freq-table.
Because we don't want this change to affect boot process badly, we go for the
next freq which is >= policy->cur ('cur' must be set by now, otherwise we will
end up setting freq to lowest of the table as 'cur' is initialized to zero).
In case current frequency doesn't match any frequency from freq-table, we throw
warnings to user, so that user can get this fixed in their bootloaders or
freq-tables.

on that frequency for long duration of time and so its better to set it to a

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.

There are few special cases like exynos5440 which doesn't send POSTCHANGE
notification from their ->target() routine and call some kind of bottom halves
for doing this work, work/tasklet/etc.. From which they finally send POSTCHANGE
notification.
Its better if we distinguish them from other cpufreq drivers in some way so that
core can handle them specially. So this patch introduces another flag:
CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION, which will be set by such drivers.
This also changes exynos5440-cpufreq.c and powernow-k8 in order to set this
flag.

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.

too) add dummy functions.

adding checks to the CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE and CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE

also can be triggered by cpufreq_out_of_sync() and that leads to
