[PATCH v4 2/7] cpufreq: Add boost frequency support in core

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This commit adds boost frequency support in cpufreq core (Hardware &
Software).
Some SoC (like Exynos4 - e.g. 4x12) allow setting frequency above
its normal operation limits. Such a mode shall be only used for a short
time.

Overclocking (boost) support is essentially provided by platform
dependent cpufreq driver.

This commit unifies support for SW and HW (Intel) over clocking solutions
in the core cpufreq driver. Previously the "boost" sysfs attribute was
defined at acpi driver code.
Boost sysfs attribute is always exported (to support legacy API). By
default boost is exported as read only. One global attribute is available at:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost.

Under the hood frequencies dedicated for boosting are marked with a
special flag (CPUFREQ_BOOST_FREQ) at driver's frequency table.
It is the user's concern to enable/disable overclocking with proper call to
sysfs.

Changes for v4:
- Remove boost parameter from cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() function
- Introduce cpufreq_boost_supported() method
- Use of cpufreq_boost_supported() and cpufreq_boost_enabled() to decide
  if frequency shall be skipped
- Rename set_boost_freq() to enable_boost()
- cpufreq_attr_available_freq() moved to freq_table.c
- Use policy list to get access to cpufreq policies
- Rename global boost flag (cpufreq_boost_enabled -> boost_enabled)
- pr_err corrected ( %sable)
- Remove sanity check at cpufreq_boost_trigger_state() entrance [to test if
  boost is supported]
- Use either HW (boost_enable) callback or SW managed boost
- Introduce new cpufreq_boost_trigger_state_sw() method to handle boost
  at SW.
- Protect boost_enabled manipulation with lock
- Always export boost attribute (preserve legacy behaviour). When boost
  is not supported this attribute is read only

Changes for v3:
- Method for reading boost status
- Removal of cpufreq_frequency_table_max()
- Extent cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() to support boost parameter
- boost_supported flag added to cpufreq_driver struct
- "boost" sysfs attribute control flag removed
- One global flag describing state of the boost defined at cpufreq core
- Rename cpufreq_driver's low_level_boost field to set_boost_freq()
- Usage of cpufreq_sysfs_{remove|add}_file() routines

Changes for v2:
- Removal of cpufreq_boost structure and move its fields to cpufreq_driver
  structure
- Flag to indicate if global boost attribute is already defined
- Extent the pr_{err|debbug} functions to show current function names
