OPP bindings (for few properties) allow a platform to choose a value/range among a set of available options. The options are present as opp-<prop>-<name>, where the platform needs to supply the <name> string. The OPP properties which allow such an option are: opp-microvolt and opp-microamp. Add support to the OPP-core to parse these bindings, by introducing dev_pm_opp_{set|put}_prop_name() APIs.

In cases where we have many IOs, the global load becomes low and the load algorithm will decrease the requested P-State. Because of that, the IOs overheads will increase and impact the IO performances. To improve IO bound work, we can count the io-wait time as busy time in calculating CPU busy. This change uses get_cpu_iowait_time_us() to obtain the IO wait time value and converts time into number of cycles spent waiting on IO at the TSC rate. At the moment, this trick is only used for Atom. Signed-off-by: Philippe Longepe <philippe.longepe@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Stephane Gasparini <stephane.gasparini@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

The current function to calculate cpu utilization uses the average P-state ratio (APerf/Mperf) scaled by the ratio of the current P-state to the max available non-turbo one. This leads to an overestimation of utilization which causes higher-performance P-states to be selected more often and that leads to increased energy consumption. This is a problem for low-power systems, so it is better to use a different utilization calculation algorithm for them. Namely, the Percent Busy value (or load) can be estimated as the ratio of the MPERF counter that runs at a constant rate only during active periods (C0) to the time stamp counter (TSC) that also runs (at the same rate) during idle. That is: Percent Busy = 100 * (delta_mperf / delta_tsc) Use this algorithm for platforms with SoCs based on the Airmont and Silvermont Atom cores.

Target systems using different cpus have different power and performance requirements. They may use different algorithms to get the next P-state based on their power or performance preference. For example, power-constrained systems may not want to use high-performance P-states as aggressively as a full-size desktop or a server platform. A server platform may want to run close to the max to achieve better performance, while laptop-like systems may prefer sacrificing performance for longer battery lifes. For the above reasons, modify intel_pstate to allow the target P-state selection algorithm to be depend on the CPU ID.

It is possible to get rid of the timer_lock spinlock used by the governor timer function for synchronization, but a couple of races need to be avoided. The first race is between multiple dbs_timer_handler() instances that may be running in parallel with each other on different CPUs. Namely, one of them has to queue up the work item, but it cannot be queued up more than once. To achieve that, atomic_inc_return() can be used on the skip_work field of struct cpu_common_dbs_info. The second race is between an already running dbs_timer_handler() and gov_cancel_work(). In that case the dbs_timer_handler() might not notice the skip_work incrementation in gov_cancel_work() and it might queue up its work item after gov_cancel_work() had returned (and that work item would corrupt skip_work going forward). To prevent that from happening, gov_cancel_work() can be made wait for the timer function to complete (on all CPUs) right after skip_work has been incremented. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Currently update_sampling_rate() runs over each online CPU and cancels/queues timers on all policy->cpus every time. This should be done just once for any cpu belonging to a policy. Create a cpumask and keep on clearing it as and when we process policies, so that we don't have to traverse through all CPUs of the same policy.

cpufreq governors evaluate load at sampling rate and based on that they update frequency for a group of CPUs belonging to the same cpufreq policy. This is required to be done in a single thread for all policy->cpus, but because we don't want to wakeup idle CPUs to do just that, we use deferrable work for this. If we would have used a single delayed deferrable work for the entire policy, there were chances that the CPU required to run the handler can be in idle and we might end up not changing the frequency for the entire group with load variations. And so we were forced to keep per-cpu works, and only the one that expires first need to do the real work and others are rescheduled for next sampling time. We have been using the more complex solution until now, where we used a delayed deferrable work for this, which is a combination of a timer and a work. This could be made lightweight by keeping per-cpu deferred timers with a single work item, which is scheduled by the first timer that expires. This patch does just that and here are important changes: - The timer handler will run in irq context and so we need to use a spin_lock instead of the timer_mutex. And so a separate timer_lock is created. This also makes the use of the mutex and lock quite clear, as we know what exactly they are protecting. - A new field 'skip_work' is added to track when the timer handlers can queue a work.

We are comparing policy->governor against cpufreq_gov_ondemand to make sure that we update sampling rate only for the concerned CPUs. But that isn't enough. In case of governor_per_policy, there can be multiple instances of ondemand governor and we will always end up updating all of them with current code. What we rather need to do, is to compare dbs_data with poilcy->governor_data, which will match only for the policies governed by dbs_data. This code is also racy as the governor might be getting stopped at that time and we may end up scheduling work for a policy, which we have just disabled. Fix that by protecting the entire function with &od_dbs_cdata.mutex, which will prevent against races with policy START/STOP/etc. After these locks are in place, we can safely get the policy via per-cpu dbs_info.

[Al Viro] The bug is in being too enthusiastic about optimizing ->setattr() away - instead of "copy verbatim with metadata" + "chmod/chown/utimes" (with the former being always safe and the latter failing in case of insufficient permissions) it tries to combine these two. Note that copyup itself will have to do ->setattr() anyway; _that_ is where the elevated capabilities are right. Having these two ->setattr() (one to set verbatim copy of metadata, another to do what overlayfs ->setattr() had been asked to do in the first place) combined is where it breaks.

MPX decodes instructions in order to tell which bounds register was violated. Part of this decoding involves looking at the "REX prefix" which is a special instrucion prefix used to retrofit support for new registers in to old instructions. The X86_REX_*() macros are defined to return actual bit values: #define X86_REX_R(rex) ((rex) & 4) *not* boolean values. However, the MPX code was checking for them like they were booleans. This might have led to us mis-decoding the "REX prefix" and giving false information out to userspace about bounds violations. X86_REX_B() actually is bit 1, so this is really only broken for the X86_REX_X() case. Fix the conditionals up to tolerate the non-boolean values.

commit 4dfd6486 "drm: Use vblank timestamps to guesstimate how many vblanks were missed" introduced in Linux 4.4-rc1 makes the drm core more fragile to drivers which don't update hw vblank counters and vblank timestamps in sync with firing of the vblank irq and essentially at leading edge of vblank. This exposed a problem with radeon-kms/amdgpu-kms which do not satisfy above requirements: The vblank irq fires a few scanlines before start of vblank, but programmed pageflips complete at start of vblank and vblank timestamps update at start of vblank, whereas the hw vblank counter increments only later, at start of vsync. This leads to problems like off by one errors for vblank counter updates, vblank counters apparently going backwards or vblank timestamps apparently having time going backwards. The net result is stuttering of graphics in games, or little hangs, as well as total failure of timing sensitive applications. See bug #93147 for an example of the regression on Linux 4.4-rc: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93147 This patch tries to align all above events better from the viewpoint of the drm core / of external callers to fix the problem: 1. The apparent start of vblank is shifted a few scanlines earlier, so the vblank irq now always happens after start of this extended vblank interval and thereby drm_update_vblank_count() always samples the updated vblank count and timestamp of the new vblank interval. To achieve this, the reporting of scanout positions by radeon_get_crtc_scanoutpos() now operates as if the vblank starts radeon_crtc->lb_vblank_lead_lines before the real start of the hw vblank interval. This means that the vblank timestamps which are based on these scanout positions will now update at this earlier start of vblank. 2. The driver->get_vblank_counter() function will bump the returned vblank count as read from the hw by +1 if the query happens after the shifted earlier start of the vblank, but before the real hw increment at start of vsync, so the counter appears to increment at start of vblank in sync with the timestamp update. 3. Calls from vblank irq-context and regular non-irq calls are now treated identical, always simulating the shifted vblank start, to avoid inconsistent results for queries happening from vblank irq vs. happening from drm_vblank_enable() or vblank_disable_fn(). 4. The radeon_flip_work_func will delay mmio programming a pageflip until the start of the real vblank iff it happens to execute inside the shifted earlier start of the vblank, so pageflips now also appear to execute at start of the shifted vblank, in sync with vblank counter and timestamp updates. This to avoid some races between updates of vblank count and timestamps that are used for swap scheduling and pageflip execution which could cause pageflips to execute before the scheduled target vblank. The lb_vblank_lead_lines "fudge" value is calculated as the size of the display controllers line buffer in scanlines for the given video mode: Vblank irq's are triggered by the line buffer logic when the line buffer refill for a video frame ends, ie. when the line buffer source read position enters the hw vblank. This means that a vblank irq could fire at most as many scanlines before the current reported scanout position of the crtc timing generator as the number of scanlines the line buffer can maximally hold for a given video mode. This patch has been successfully tested on a RV730 card with DCE-3 display engine and on a evergreen card with DCE-4 display engine, in single-display and dual-display configuration, with different video modes. A similar patch is needed for amdgpu-kms to fix the same problem. Limitations: - Maybe replace the udelay() in the flip_work_func() by a suitable usleep_range() for a bit better efficiency? Will try that. - Line buffer sizes in pixels are hard-coded on < DCE-4 to a value i just guessed to be high enough to work ok, lacking info on the true sizes atm. Probably fixes: fdo#93147 Port of Mario's radeon fix to amdgpu. Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com> (v1) Reviewed-by: Mario Kleiner <mario.kleiner.de@gmail.com> (v2) Refine amdgpu_flip_work_func() for better efficiency. In amdgpu_flip_work_func, replace the busy waiting udelay(5) with event lock held by a more performance and energy efficient usleep_range() until at least predicted true start of hw vblank, with some slack for scheduler happiness. Release the event lock during waits to not delay other outputs in doing their stuff, as the waiting can last up to 200 usecs in some cases. Also small fix to code comment and formatting in that function. (v2) Signed-off-by: Mario Kleiner <mario.kleiner.de@gmail.com> (v3) Fix crash in crtc disabled case

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams: - NFIT parsing regression fixes from Linda. The nvdimm hot-add implementation merged in 4.4-rc1 interpreted the specification in a way that breaks actual HPE platforms. We are also closing the loop with the ACPI Working Group to get this clarification added to the spec. - Andy pointed out that his laptop without nvdimm resources is loading the e820-nvdimm module by default, fix that up to only load the module when an e820-type-12 range is present. * 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: nfit: Adjust for different _FIT and NFIT headers nfit: Fix the check for a successful NFIT merge nfit: Account for table size length variation libnvdimm, e820: skip module loading when no type-12
