acpi-cpufreq: Use cpufreq_freq_attr_rw to define the cpb attribute

2013-08-14T20:24:22+00:00

Standardise the defintion of the cpb (Core Performance Boost)
attribute in the acpi-cpufreq driver via the cpufreq_freq_attr_rw
macro.

cpufreq: Drop the owner field from struct cpufreq_driver

2013-08-10T01:24:47+00:00

We don't need to set .owner = THIS_MODULE any more in cpufreq drivers
as this field isn't used any more by the cpufreq core.

This patch removes it and updates all dependent drivers accordingly.

cpufreq: Use sizeof(*ptr) convetion for computing sizes

2013-08-07T21:34:10+00:00

Chapter 14 of Documentation/CodingStyle says:

The preferred form for passing a size of a struct is the following:

	p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);

The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts
readability and introduces an opportunity for a bug when the pointer
variable type is changed but the corresponding sizeof that is passed
to a memory allocator is not.

This wasn't followed consistently in drivers/cpufreq, let's make it
more consistent by always following this rule.

cpufreq: Remove unused APERF/MPERF support

2013-07-25T23:06:43+00:00

The target frequency calculation method in the ondemand governor has
changed and it is now independent of the measured average frequency.
Consequently, the APERF/MPERF support in cpufreq is not used any
more, so drop it.

acpi-cpufreq: Add new sysfs attribute freqdomain_cpus

2013-06-27T19:51:09+00:00

Commits fcf8058 (cpufreq: Simplify cpufreq_add_dev()) and aa77a52
(cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: Don't set policy->related_cpus from .init())
changed the contents of the "related_cpus" sysfs attribute on systems
where acpi-cpufreq is used and user space can't get the list of CPUs
which are in the same hardware coordination CPU domain (provided by
the ACPI AML method _PSD) via "related_cpus" any more.

To make up for that loss add a new sysfs attribute "freqdomian_cpus"
for the acpi-cpufreq driver which exposes the list of CPUs in the
same domain regardless of whether it is coordinated by hardware or
software.

cpufreq: ACPI: call CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notfier in error cases

2013-06-24T11:14:59+00:00

PRECHANGE and POSTCHANGE notifiers must be called in groups, i.e either both
should be called or both shouldn't be.

In case we have started PRECHANGE notifier and found an error, we
must call POSTCHANGE notifier with freqs.new = freqs.old to
guarantee that the sequence of calling notifiers is complete.

This patch fixes it.
