ACPI idle, CPU hotplug: Fix NULL pointer dereference during hotplug

2012-10-09T02:52:54+00:00

On a KVM guest, when a CPU is taken offline and brought back online, we hit
the following NULL pointer dereference:

Analysis:
Commit 3d339dc (cpuidle / ACPI : move cpuidle_device field out of the
acpi_processor_power structure()) made the allocation of the dev structure
(struct cpuidle) of a CPU dynamic, whereas previously it was statically
allocated. And this dynamic allocation occurs in acpi_processor_power_init()
if pr->flags.power evaluates to non-zero.

On KVM guests, pr->flags.power evaluates to zero, hence dev is never
allocated. This causes the NULL pointer (dev) dereference in
cpuidle_disable_device() during a subsequent CPU online operation. Fix this
by ensuring that dev is non-NULL before dereferencing.

cpuidle: rename function name "__cpuidle_register_driver", v2

2012-09-21T22:38:32+00:00

The function __cpuidle_register_driver name is confusing because it
suggests, conforming to the coding style of the kernel, it registers
the driver without taking a lock. Actually, it just fill the different
power field states with a decresing value if the power has not been
specified.

Clarify the purpose of the function by changing its name and
move the condition out of this function.

This patch fix nothing and does not change the behavior of the
function. It is just for the sake of clarity.

IHMO, reading in the code:

+       if (!drv->power_specified)
+               set_power_states(drv);

is much more explicit than:

-       __cpuidle_register_driver(drv);

PM / cpuidle: Make ladder governor use the "disabled" state flag

2012-09-03T23:35:45+00:00

For the mechanism introduced by commit cbc9ef0 (PM / Domains: Add
preliminary support for cpuidle, v2) to work with the ladder
governor, that governor should respect the "disabled" state flag
added by that commit.  Change the ladder governor accordingly.

Honor state disabling in the cpuidle ladder governor

2012-09-03T23:35:44+00:00

There are two cpuidle governors ladder and menu. While the ladder
governor is always available, if CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is selected, the
menu governor additionally requires CONFIG_NO_HZ.

A particular C state can be disabled by writing to the sysfs file
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/cpuidle/stateN/disable, but this mechanism
is only implemented in the menu governor. Thus, in a system where
CONFIG_NO_HZ is not selected, the ladder governor becomes default and
always will walk through all sleep states - irrespective of whether the
C state was disabled via sysfs or not. The only way to select a specific
C state was to write the related latency to /dev/cpu_dma_latency and
keep the file open as long as this setting was required - not very
practical and not suitable for setting a single core in an SMP system.

With this patch, the ladder governor only will promote to the next
C state, if it has not been disabled, and it will demote, if the
current C state was disabled.

Note that the patch does not make the setting of the sysfs variable
"disable" coherent, i.e. if one is disabling a light state, then all
deeper states are disabled as well, but the "disable" variable does not
reflect it. Likewise, if one enables a deep state but a lighter state
still is disabled, then this has no effect. A related section has been
added to the documentation.

cpuidle: Prevent null pointer dereference in cpuidle_coupled_cpu_notify

2012-08-17T17:37:08+00:00

When a kernel is built to support multiple hardware types it's possible
that CONFIG_ARCH_NEEDS_CPU_IDLE_COUPLED is set but the hardware the
kernel is run on doesn't support cpuidle and therefore doesn't load a
driver for it. In this case, when the system is shut down,
cpuidle_coupled_cpu_notify() gets called with cpuidle_devices set to
NULL. There are quite possibly other circumstances where this
situation can also occur and we should check for it.

cpuidle: coupled: fix sleeping while atomic in cpu notifier

2012-08-17T17:37:01+00:00

The cpu hotplug notifier gets called in both atomic and non-atomic
contexts, it is not always safe to lock a mutex.  Filter out all events
except the six necessary ones, which are all sleepable, before taking
the mutex.

2012-07-26T21:28:55+00:00

Pull ACPI & power management update from Len Brown:
 "Re-write of the turbostat tool.
     lower overhead was necessary for measuring very large system when
     they are very idle.

  IVB support in intel_idle
     It's what I run on my IVB, others should be able to also:-)

  ACPICA core update
     We have found some bugs due to divergence between Linux and the
     upstream ACPICA base.  Most of these patches are to reduce that
     divergence to reduce the risk of future bugs.

  Some cpuidle updates, mostly for non-Intel
     More will be coming, as they depend on this part.

  Some thermal management changes needed by non-ACPI systems.

  Some _OST (OS Status Indication) updates for hot ACPI hot-plug."
