Before commit 1e4f63aecb53 ("cpufreq: Avoid creating excessively
large stack frames") the initial value of the policy field in struct
cpufreq_policy set by the driver's -&gt;init() callback was implicitly
passed from cpufreq_init_policy() to cpufreq_set_policy() if the
default governor was neither "performance" nor "powersave".  After
that commit, however, cpufreq_init_policy() must take that case into
consideration explicitly and handle it as appropriate, so make that
happen.

<content type='text'>
In the process of modifying a cpufreq policy, the cpufreq core makes
a copy of it including all of the internals which is stored on the
CPU stack.  Because struct cpufreq_policy is relatively large, this
may cause the size of the stack frame to exceed the 2 KB limit and
so the GCC complains when -Wframe-larger-than= is used.

In fact, it is not necessary to copy the entire policy structure
in order to modify it, however.

First, because cpufreq_set_policy() obtains the min and max policy
limits from frequency QoS now, it is not necessary to pass the limits
to it from the callers.  The only things that need to be passed to it
from there are the new governor pointer or (if there is a built-in
governor in the driver) the "policy" value representing the governor
choice.  They both can be passed as individual arguments, though, so
make cpufreq_set_policy() take them this way and rework its callers
accordingly.  This avoids making copies of cpufreq policies in the
callers of cpufreq_set_policy().

Second, cpufreq_set_policy() still needs to pass the new policy
data to the -&gt;verify() callback of the cpufreq driver whose task
is to sanitize the min and max policy limits.  It still does not
need to make a full copy of struct cpufreq_policy for this purpose,
but it needs to pass a few items from it to the driver in case they
are needed (different drivers have different needs in that respect
and all of them have to be covered).  For this reason, introduce
struct cpufreq_policy_data to hold copies of the members of
struct cpufreq_policy used by the existing -&gt;verify() driver
callbacks and pass a pointer to a temporary structure of that
type to -&gt;verify() (instead of passing a pointer to full struct
cpufreq_policy to it).

While at it, notice that intel_pstate and longrun don't really need
to verify the "policy" value in struct cpufreq_policy, so drop those
check from them to avoid copying "policy" into struct
cpufreq_policy_data (which allows it to be slightly smaller).

Also while at it fix up white space in a couple of places and make
cpufreq_set_policy() static (as it can be so).

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These include cpuidle changes to use nanoseconds (instead of
  microseconds) as the unit of time and to simplify checks for disabled
  idle states in the idle loop, some cpuidle fixes and governor updates,
  assorted cpufreq updates (driver updates mostly and a few core fixes
  and cleanups), devfreq updates (dominated by the tegra30 driver
  changes), new CPU IDs for the RAPL power capping driver, relatively
  minor updates of the generic power domains (genpd) and operation
  performance points (OPP) frameworks, and assorted fixes and cleanups.

  There are also two maintainer information updates: Chanwoo Choi will
  be maintaining the devfreq subsystem going forward and Todd Brandt is
  going to maintain the pm-graph utility (created by him).

  Specifics:

   - Use nanoseconds (instead of microseconds) as the unit of time in
     the cpuidle core and simplify checks for disabled idle states in
     the idle loop (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Fix and clean up the teo cpuidle governor (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Fix the cpuidle registration error code path (Zhenzhong Duan)

   - Avoid excessive vmexits in the ACPI cpuidle driver (Yin Fengwei)

   - Extend the idle injection infrastructure to be able to measure the

     limit for idle states to be specified (Daniel Lezcano)

   - Fix cpufreq driver registration and clarify a comment in the
     cpufreq core (Viresh Kumar)

   - Add NULL checks to the show() and store() methods of sysfs
     attributes exposed by cpufreq (Kai Shen)

   - Update cpufreq drivers:
      * Fix for a plain int as pointer warning from sparse in
        intel_pstate (Jamal Shareef)
      * Fix for a hardcoded number of CPUs and stack bloat in the
        powernv driver (John Hubbard)
      * Updates to the ti-cpufreq driver and DT files to support new
        platforms and migrate bindings from opp-v1 to opp-v2 (Adam Ford,
        H. Nikolaus Schaller)
      * Merging of the arm_big_little and vexpress-spc drivers and
        related cleanup (Sudeep Holla)

      * Minor cleanup of the s3c64xx driver (Nathan Chancellor)
      * CPU speed bin detection fix for sun50i (Ondrej Jirman)

   - Appoint Chanwoo Choi as the new devfreq maintainer.

        showing wrong governor information and fix a race condition
        between devfreq_update_status() and trans_stat_show() (Leonard
        Crestez)

        interrupt-driven governors to prevent the devfreq core from
        polling devices for status (Dmitry Osipenko)

        Kaehlcke)

   - Update devfreq drivers:
      * tegra30 driver fixes and cleanups (Dmitry Osipenko)
      * Removal of unused property from dt-binding documentation for the
        exynos-bus driver (Kamil Konieczny)

        Szyprowski)

   - Add new CPU IDs for CometLake Mobile and Desktop to the Intel RAPL
     power capping driver (Zhang Rui)

   - Allow device initialization in the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework to be more straightforward and clean it up (Ulf Hansson)

   - Add support for adjusting OPP voltages at run time to the OPP
     framework (Stephen Boyd)

<title>cpufreq: Register drivers only after CPU devices have been registered</title>

<id>46770be0cf94149ca48be87719bda1d951066644</id>
<content type='text'>
The cpufreq core heavily depends on the availability of the struct
device for CPUs and if they aren't available at the time cpufreq driver
is registered, we will never succeed in making cpufreq work.

This happens due to following sequence of events:

- cpufreq_register_driver()
  - subsys_interface_register()
  - return 0; //successful registration of driver

... at a later point of time

- register_cpu();
  - device_register();
    - bus_probe_device();
      - sif-&gt;add_dev();
	- cpufreq_add_dev();
	  - get_cpu_device(); //FAILS
  - per_cpu(cpu_sys_devices, num) = &amp;cpu-&gt;dev; //used by get_cpu_device()
  - return 0; //CPU registered successfully

Because the per-cpu variable cpu_sys_devices is set only after the CPU
device is regsitered, cpufreq will never be able to get it when
cpufreq_add_dev() is called.

This patch avoids this failure by making sure device structure of at
least CPU0 is available when the cpufreq driver is registered, else
return -EPROBE_DEFER.

<title>cpufreq: Add NULL checks to show() and store() methods of cpufreq</title>

Add NULL checks to show() and store() in cpufreq.c to avoid attempts
to invoke a NULL callback.

Though some interfaces of cpufreq are set as read-only, users can
still get write permission using chmod which can lead to a kernel
crash, as follows:

chmod +w /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
echo 1 &gt;  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

This bug was found in linux 4.19.

One of the responsibility of the -&gt;verify() callback is to make sure
that the policy's min frequency is &lt;= max frequency as this isn't
guaranteed by the QoS framework which gave us those values.

Update the comment in cpufreq_set_policy() to clarify that.

Now that we have a vtime safe kcpustat accessor for CPUTIME_SYSTEM, use
it to start fixing frozen kcpustat values on nohz_full CPUs.
