[CPUFREQ] Also check whether the CPU frequency is out of sync once we get to cpufreq_notify_transition.
-
Dave Jones authored
Once we detected 50 consecutive ticks with lost ticks (and this is half of the amount needed to trigger the fallback to a "sane" timesource), verify the CPU frequency is in sync if cpufreq is used: sometimes the CPU frequency changes behind the user's back, and then the TSC detects lost ticks. By a call to cpufreq_get(), the frequency the TSC driver thinks the CPU is in is updated to the actual frequency, in case these differ. Works really nice on my notebook -- it's never falling back to a different timesource now, even if I plug in the power cord.

sa11x0_getspeed can be used by both cpu-sa1100.c and cpu-sa1110.c as ->get() function. Update calling conventions, and un-export it as we fixed the handling of cpufreq_get in the cpufreq core. Also, remove special call to userspace-governor init as it isn't needed any longer.

arm-integrator had its ->get() implementation inside integrator_cpufreq_init(). Move it to an extra function, and add it as ->get() function.

but be careful as some code needs to run on specified CPU only.

powernow_k6 has almost all pieces in place for its own ->get() function. Add the rest.

p4-clockmod is a bit more complicated as it might run on SMP, HT, and the instructions need to run on the specific (physical) CPU.

Longrun users might be interested in their CPU's current frequency as well, so use a longrun-specific cpuid-call in longrun_get().

Notifications in i386, sparc64, x86_64, sh-sci and sa11xx-pcmcia notifiers. sa1100-framebuffer doesn't seem to be able to handle frequency transitions behind its back well. So, sa11xx will be marked CPUFREQ_PANIC_OUTOFSYNC | CPUFREQ_PANIC_RESUME_OUTOFSYNC later.

Upon resuming, first CPUfreq hardware support needs to be re-enabled in certain cases (call to cpufreq_driver->resume()). Then, two different paths may need to be taken: a) frequency during suspend equals frequency during resume ==> everything is fine, b) frequency differ ==> either we can't handle it, then panic (see flag CPUFREQ_PANIC_RESUME_OUTOFSYNC). Or we can handle it, then notify all

Sometimes we might discover during a call to cpufreq_get() that we're "out of sync", meaning the actual CPU frequency changed "behind our back". If this happens, the flag CPUFREQ_PANIC_OUTOFSYNC decides what can be done: if it is set, the kernel panic's, it it is not set, the cpufreq transition notifiers are informed of this change, and a call to cpufreq_update_policy() is scheduled [using the default workqueue] so that the user-defined values override BIOS / external interaction.

As it involves calls to hardware which might take some time, only let the super-user read out this value.

Contrary to the previous implementation, it now calls the cpufreq driver, and reads out the _actual_ current frequency, and not the frequency the CPUfreq core _thinks_ the CPU is running at. Most cpufreq drivers do provide such a "hw get" function (only ACPI-io can definitely not be supported, I'm not sure about sh, sparc64 and powermac) anyway, and it is useful for other issues.

Many users want to know the current cpu freqeuncy, even if not using the userspace frequency. On ->target cpufreq drivers (if they do their calls to cpufreq_notify_transition correctly) this just means reading out cpufreq_policy->cur.

Brad Spengler <spender@grsecurity.net> found an exploitable bug in the proc handler of cpufreq, where a user-supplied unsigned int is cast to a signed int and then passed on to copy_[to|from]_user() allowing arbitary amounts of memory to be written (root only thankfully), or read (as any user). The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0228 to this issue.

One big limitation of the ACPI specification is that it's impossible to detect the current P-State by reading from ACPI-defined registers. And the CPU isn't always at P0 when the system boots. So, try to "guess" the current P-State by analyzing cpu_khz. From Dominik.

If used as a bootparam, this would've become powernow-k7.powernow_acpi_force which looks silly.
