gcc warns quite a bit about values returned from allocate_resources()
in cpufreq-dt.c:

cpufreq-dt.c: In function 'cpufreq_init':
cpufreq-dt.c:327:6: error: 'cpu_dev' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
cpufreq-dt.c:197:17: note: 'cpu_dev' was declared here
cpufreq-dt.c:376:2: error: 'cpu_clk' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
cpufreq-dt.c:199:14: note: 'cpu_clk' was declared here
cpufreq-dt.c: In function 'dt_cpufreq_probe':
cpufreq-dt.c:461:2: error: 'cpu_clk' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
cpufreq-dt.c:447:14: note: 'cpu_clk' was declared here

The problem is that it's slightly hard for gcc to follow return
codes across PTR_ERR() calls.

This patch uses explicit assignments to the "ret" variable to make
it easier for gcc to verify that the code is actually correct,
without the need to add a bogus initialization.

There are two definitions of pxa_cpufreq_change_voltage, with slightly
different prototypes after one of them had its argument marked 'const'.
Now the other one (for !CONFIG_REGULATOR) produces a harmless warning:

drivers/cpufreq/pxa2xx-cpufreq.c: In function 'pxa_set_target':
drivers/cpufreq/pxa2xx-cpufreq.c:291:36: warning: passing argument 1 of 'pxa_cpufreq_change_voltage' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
   ret = pxa_cpufreq_change_voltage(&amp;pxa_freq_settings[idx]);
                                    ^
drivers/cpufreq/pxa2xx-cpufreq.c:205:12: note: expected 'struct pxa_freqs *' but argument is of type 'const struct pxa_freqs *'
 static int pxa_cpufreq_change_voltage(struct pxa_freqs *pxa_freq)
            ^

This changes the prototype in the same way as the other, which
avoids the warning.

Currently next_policy() explicitly checks if a policy is the last
policy in the cpufreq_policy_list. Use the standard list_is_last
primitive instead.

<title>cpufreq: Fix NULL reference crash while accessing policy-&gt;governor_data</title>

There is a race discovered by Juri, where we are able to:
- create and read a sysfs file before policy-&gt;governor_data is being set
  to a non NULL value.
  OR
- set policy-&gt;governor_data to NULL, and reading a file before being
  destroyed.

And so such a crash is reported:

<title>cpufreq: governor: Fix negative idle_time when configured with CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC</title>
<updated>2016-01-05T01:01:32+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=0df35026c6a527e65b53bc895ad672d648a248f3'/>
<id>0df35026c6a527e65b53bc895ad672d648a248f3</id>
<content type='text'>
It is reported that, with CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC=y cpu stays at the
lowest frequency even if the usage goes to 100%, neither ondemand
nor conservative governor works, however performance and
userspace work as expected. If set with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y,
everything goes well.

This problem is caused by improper calculation of the idle_time
when the load is extremely high(near 100%). Firstly, cpufreq_governor
uses get_cpu_idle_time to get the total idle time for specific cpu, then:

1.If the system is configured with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL, the idle time is
  returned by ktime_get, which is always increasing, it's OK.
2.However, if the system is configured with CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC,
  get_cpu_idle_time might not guarantee to be always increasing,
  because it will leverage get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy to calculate the
  idle_time, consider the following scenario:

At T1:
idle_tick_1 = total_tick_1 - user_tick_1

sample period(80ms)...

At T2: ( T2 = T1 + 80ms):
idle_tick_2 = total_tick_2 - user_tick_2

Currently the algorithm is using (idle_tick_2 - idle_tick_1) to
get the delta idle_time during the past sample period, however
it CAN NOT guarantee that idle_tick_2 &gt;= idle_tick_1, especially
when cpu load is high.
(Yes, total_tick_2 &gt;= total_tick_1, and user_tick_2 &gt;= user_tick_1,
but how about idle_tick_2 and idle_tick_1? No guarantee.)
So governor might get a negative value of idle_time during the past
sample period, which might mislead the system that the idle time is
very big(converted to unsigned int), and the busy time is nearly zero,
which causes the governor to always choose the lowest cpufreq,
then cause this problem.

In theory there are two solutions:

1.The logic should not rely on the idle tick during every sample period,
  but be based on the busy tick directly, as this is how 'top' is
  implemented.

2.Or the logic must make sure that the idle_time is strictly increasing
  during each sample period, then there would be no negative idle_time
  anymore. This solution requires minimum modification to current code
  and this patch uses method 2.

<title>cpufreq: Simplify core code related to boost support</title>

Notice that the boost_supported field in struct cpufreq_driver is
redundant, because the driver's -&gt;set_boost callback may be left
unset if "boost" is not supported.  Moreover, the only driver
populating the -&gt;set_boost callback is acpi_cpufreq, so make it
avoid populating that callback if "boost" is not supported, rework
the core to check -&gt;set_boost instead of boost_supported to
verify "boost" support and drop boost_supported which isn't
used any more.
