rq->curr/prev_runnable_sum counters represent cpu demand from various
tasks that have run on a cpu. Any task that runs on a cpu will have a
representation in rq->curr_runnable_sum. Their partial_demand value
will be included in rq->curr_runnable_sum. Since partial_demand is
derived from historical load samples for a task, rq->curr_runnable_sum
could represent "inflated/un-realistic" cpu usage. As an example, lets
say that task with partial_demand of 10ms runs for only 1ms on a cpu.
What is included in rq->curr_runnable_sum is 10ms (and not the actual
execution time of 1ms). This leads to cpu busy time being reported on
the upside causing frequency to stay higher than necessary.
This patch fixes cpu busy accounting scheme to strictly represent
actual usage. It also provides for conditional fixup of busy time upon
migration and upon heavy-task wakeup.

Having a compile time flag will let some platforms avoid any

When certain bursty and important events take place, it might take a while
for the current cpufreq governor to notice the new load and react to it.
That would result in poor user experience. To alleviate this, the cpu-boost
driver boosts the frequency of a CPU for a short duration to maintain good
user experience while the governor catches up.
Specifically, this commit deals with ensuring that when "important" tasks
migrate from a fast CPU to a slow CPU, the frequency of the slow CPU is
boosted to be at least as high as the fast CPU for a short duration.
Since this driver enforces the boost by hooking into standard cpufreq
ADJUST notifiers, it has several advantages:
- More portable across kernel versions where the cpufreq internals might
have been rewritten.
- Governor agnostic and hence works with multiple governors like
conservative, ondemand, interactive, etc.
- Does not affect the sampling period/logic of existing governors.
- Can have the boost period adjusted independent of governor sampling
period.

This governor is designed for latency-sensitive workloads, such as
interactive user interfaces. The interactive governor aims to be
significantly more responsive to ramp CPU quickly up when CPU-intensive
activity begins.
Existing governors sample CPU load at a particular rate, typically
every X ms. This can lead to under-powering UI threads for the period of
time during which the user begins interacting with a previously-idle system
until the next sample period happens.
The 'interactive' governor uses a different approach. Instead of sampling
the CPU at a specified rate, the governor will check whether to scale the
CPU frequency up soon after coming out of idle. When the CPU comes out of
idle, a timer is configured to fire within 1-2 ticks. If the CPU is very
busy from exiting idle to when the timer fires then we assume the CPU is
underpowered and ramp to MAX speed.
If the CPU was not sufficiently busy to immediately ramp to MAX speed, then
the governor evaluates the CPU load since the last speed adjustment,
choosing the highest value between that longer-term load or the short-term
load since idle exit to determine the CPU speed to ramp to.
A realtime thread is used for scaling up, giving the remaining tasks the
CPU performance benefit, unlike existing governors which are more likely to
schedule rampup work to occur after your performance starved tasks have
completed.
The tuneables for this governor are:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/min_sample_time:
The minimum amount of time to spend at the current frequency before
ramping down. This is to ensure that the governor has seen enough
historic CPU load data to determine the appropriate workload.
Default is 80000 uS.
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/go_maxspeed_load
The CPU load at which to ramp to max speed. Default is 85.

As multiplatform build is being adopted by more and more ARM platforms,
initcall function should be used very carefully. For example, when
GENERIC_CPUFREQ_CPU0 is built in the kernel, cpu0_cpufreq_driver_init()
will be called on all the platforms to initialize cpufreq-cpu0 driver.
To eliminate this undesired the effect, the patch changes cpufreq-cpu0
driver to have it instantiated as a platform_driver. Then it will only
run on platforms that create the platform_device "cpufreq-cpu0".
Along with the change, it also changes cpu_dev to be &pdev->dev,
so that managed functions can start working, and module build gets
supported too.
The highbank-cpufreq driver is also updated accordingly to adapt the
changes on cpufreq-cpu0.

Since commit 2aacdff entitled "cpufreq: Move common part from governors
to separate file", whenever the drivers that depend on this new file
(cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative) are built as modules, a new
module named cpufreq_governor is created because the Makefile includes
cpufreq_governor.o twice. As drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_governor.c contains no
MODULE directives, the resulting module has no license specified, which
results in logging of a "module license 'unspecified' taints kernel". In
addition, a number of globals are exported GPL only, and are therefore
not available. This fix establishes a new boolean configuration variable
that forces cpufreq_governor.o to be linked into the kernel whenever
either cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative is selected.

With dynamic debug having gained the capability to report debug messages
also during the boot process, it offers a far superior interface for
debug messages than the custom cpufreq infrastructure. As a first step,
remove the old cpufreq_debug_printk() function and replace it with a call
to the generic pr_debug() function.
How can dynamic debug be used on cpufreq? You need a kernel which has
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled.
To enabled debugging during runtime, mount debugfs and
$ echo -n 'module cpufreq +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
for debugging the complete "cpufreq" module. To achieve the same goal during
boot, append
ddebug_query="module cpufreq +p"
as a boot parameter to the kernel of your choice.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

Depending on the transition latency of the HW for cpufreq switches, the
ondemand or conservative governor cannot be used with certain cpufreq
drivers. Still the ondemand should be the default governor on a wide range
of systems. This patch allows this and lets the governor fallback to the
performance governor at cpufreq driver load time, if the driver does not
support fast enough frequency switching.
Main benefit is that on e.g. installation or other systems without
userspace support a working dynamic cpufreq support can be achieved on most
systems by simply loading the cpufreq driver. This is especially essential
for recent x86(_64) laptop hardware which may rely on working dynamic
cpufreq OS support.

N.B. Bruno Ducrot pointed out that the amd64's "do have unacceptable latency
