commit 31160d7feab786c991780d7f0ce2755a469e0e5e
Date: Tue Jan 8 16:22:36 2013 -0500
perf tools: Fix GNU make v3.80 compatibility issue
attempts to aid the user by tapping into an existing error message,
as described in the commit message:
... Also fix an issue where _get_attempt was called with only
one argument. This prevented the error message from printing
the name of the variable that can be used to fix the problem.
or more precisely:
-$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2)))
+$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2),$(1)))
However, The "missing" argument was in fact missing on purpose; it's
absence is a signal that the error message should be skipped, because
the failure would be due to the default value, not any user-supplied
value. This can be seen in how `_ge_attempt' uses `gea_err' (in the
config/utilities.mak file):
_ge_attempt = $(if $(get-executable),$(get-executable),$(_gea_warn)$(call _gea_err,$(2)))
_gea_warn = $(warning The path '$(1)' is not executable.)
_gea_err = $(if $(1),$(error Please set '$(1)' appropriately))
That is, because the argument is no longer missing, the value `$(1)'
(associated with `_gea_err') always evaluates to true, thus always
triggering the error condition that is meant to be reserved for
only the case when a user explicitly supplies an invalid value.
Concretely, the result is a regression in the Makefile's configuration
of python support; rather than gracefully disable support when the
relevant executables cannot be found according to default values, the
build process halts in error as though the user explicitly supplied
the values.
This new commit simply reverts the offending one-line change.

When declaring char name[9] = "cluster";
name[7] is equal to the string termination character '\0'.
But later on doing:
name[7] = cluster_id + '0';
clobbers the termination character, leaving non terminated
strings in the system and potentially causing undertermined
behavior.
By initialising name[9] to "clusterX" the 8th character is
set to '\0' and affecting the 7th character with the cluster
number doesn't overwite anything.

[ np: The C standard says that the reminder of an initialized array of
a known size should be initialized to zero and therefore this patch is
unneeded, however this patch makes the intent more explicit to others
reading the code. ]

on/off
When a cpu goes down, exit would be called for it. Similarly for every cpu up
init would be called. This would result in same freq table and clk structure to
get freed/allocated again. There is no way for freq table/clk structures to
change between these calls.
Also, when we disable switcher, firstly cpufreq unregister would be called and
hence exit for all cpus and then register would be called, i.e. init would be
called.
For saving time/energy for both cases, lets not free table/clk until module exit
is not done.

This patch adds IKS (In Kernel Switcher) support to cpufreq driver. This creates
separate freq table for A7-A15 cpu pair. A7 frequency is virtualized and is
halved, so that it touches boundaries with A7 frequencies.
Based on Earlier Work from Sudeep.

cpufreq_stat has registered notifiers with both cpufreq and cpu core. It adds
cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/ directory with a notifier of cpufreq CPUFREQ_NOTIFY and
removes this directory with a notifier to cpu core.
On bL_switcher enable/disable, cpufreq drivers notifiers gets called and they
call cpufreq_unregister(), followed by cpufreq_register(). For unregister stats
directories per cpu aren't removed, because cpu never went to dead state and cpu
notifier isn't called.
When cpufreq_register() is called, we try to add these directories again and
that simply fails, as directories were already present.
Fix these issues by registering cpufreq_stats too with bL_switcher notifiers, so
that they get unregistered and registered on switcher enable/disable.

fbcon uses workqueues and it has no real dependency of scheduling these on the
cpu which scheduled them.
On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the
scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one.
This patch replaces system_wq with system_power_efficient_wq.

done by allocating them with WQ_UNBOUND flag if 'wq_power_efficient' is set to

Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are
bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache
effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from
scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to
process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a
core that is already awake.
Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings.
However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable
power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to
be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the
workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter.
tj: Updated config description and comments. Renamed
CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

Keep time calculation in 64-bit throughout. If we have long times
between idle calculations this can result in deltas > 32 bits
which causes incorrect load percentage calculations and selecting
the wrong frequencies if we truncate here.

If we have a multi-package system, where we have multiple instances of struct
policy (per package), currently we can't have multiple instances of same
governor. i.e. We can't have multiple instances of Interactive governor for
multiple packages.
This is a bottleneck for multicluster system, where we want different packages
to use Interactive governor, but with different tunables.
This patch uses the infrastructure provided by earlier patches pushed in
Mainline in v3.10-rc1/rc2 and implements per policy instances of Interactive
governor.

get_governor_parent_kobj() can be used by any governor, generic cpufreq
governors or platform specific ones and so must be present in cpufreq.c instead

EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(get_governor_parent_kobj) so that modules can use this
function too.
