c4afc41094 cpufreq: governor: Fix typos in comments
- 'Governer' should be 'Governor'.
 - 'S' is used for Siemens (electrical conductance) in SI units,
   so use small 's' for seconds.

5ff0a26803 cpufreq: Clean up header files included in the core
This patch addresses the following issues in the header files in the
cpufreq core:
 - Include headers in ascending order, so that we don't add same
   many times by mistake.
 - <asm/> must be included after <linux/>, so that they override
   whatever they need to.
 - Remove unnecessary includes.
 - Don't include files already included by cpufreq.h or
   cpufreq_governor.h.

6c4640c3ad cpufreq: rename ignore_nice as ignore_nice_load
This sysfs file was called ignore_nice_load earlier and commit
4d5dcc4 (cpufreq: governor: Implement per policy instances of
governors) changed its name to ignore_nice by mistake.

Lets get it renamed back to its original name.

dfa5bb6225 cpufreq: ondemand: Change the calculation of target frequency
The ondemand governor calculates load in terms of frequency and
increases it only if load_freq is greater than up_threshold
multiplied by the current or average frequency.  This appears to
produce oscillations of frequency between min and max because,
for example, a relatively small load can easily saturate minimum
frequency and lead the CPU to the max.  Then, it will decrease
back to the min due to small load_freq.

Change the calculation method of load and target frequency on the
basis of the following two observations:

 - Load computation should not depend on the current or average
   measured frequency.  For example, absolute load of 80% at 100MHz
   is not necessarily equivalent to 8% at 1000MHz in the next
   sampling interval.

 - It should be possible to increase the target frequency to any
   value present in the frequency table proportional to the absolute
   load, rather than to the max only, so that:

   Target frequency = C * load

   where we take C = policy->cpuinfo.max_freq / 100.

Tested on Intel i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz and on Quad core 1500MHz Krait.
Phoronix benchmark of Linux Kernel Compilation 3.1 test shows an
increase ~1.5% in performance. cpufreq_stats (time_in_state) shows
that middle frequencies are used more, with this patch.  Highest
and lowest frequencies were used less by ~9%.

[rjw: We have run multiple other tests on kernels with this
 change applied and in the vast majority of cases it turns out
 that the resulting performance improvement also leads to reduced
 consumption of energy.  The change is additionally justified by
 the overall simplification of the code in question.]

a97c98addd cpufreq: governors: Fix CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_{INIT|EXIT} notifiers
There are two types of INIT/EXIT activities that we need to do for
governors:
 - Done only once per governor (doesn't depend how many instances of
   the governor there are). eg: cpufreq_register_notifier() for
   conservative governor.
 - Done per governor instance, eg: sysfs_{create|remove}_group().

There were some corner cases where current code isn't able to handle
them separately and so failing for some test cases.

We use two separate variables now for keeping track of above two
requirements.
 - governor->initialized for first one
 - dbs_data->usage_count for per governor instance

fb30809efa cpufreq: ondemand: allow custom powersave_bias_target handler to be registered
This allows for another [arch specific] driver to hook into existing
powersave bias function of the ondemand governor. i.e. This allows AMD
specific powersave bias function (in a separate AMD specific driver)
to aid ondemand governor's frequency transition decisions.

9366d84052 cpufreq: governors: Calculate iowait time only when necessary
Currently we always calculate the CPU iowait time and add it to idle time.
If we are in ondemand and we use io_is_busy, we re-calculate iowait time
and we subtract it from idle time.

With this patch iowait time is calculated only when necessary avoiding
the double call to get_cpu_iowait_time_us. We use a parameter in
function get_cpu_idle_time to distinguish when the iowait time will be
added to idle time or not, without the need of keeping the prev_io_wait.

031299b3be cpufreq: governors: Avoid unnecessary per cpu timer interrupts
Following patch has introduced per cpu timers or works for ondemand and
conservative governors.

	commit 2abfa876f1
	Author: Rickard Andersson <rickard.andersson@stericsson.com>
	Date:   Thu Dec 27 14:55:38 2012 +0000

	    cpufreq: handle SW coordinated CPUs

This causes additional unnecessary interrupts on all cpus when the load is
recently evaluated by any other cpu. i.e. When load is recently evaluated by cpu
x, we don't really need any other cpu to evaluate this load again for the next
sampling_rate time.

Some sort of code is present to avoid that but we are still getting timer
interrupts for all cpus. A good way of avoiding this would be to modify delays
for all cpus (policy->cpus) whenever any cpu has evaluated load.

This patch does this change and some related code cleanup.

98104ee28f cpufreq: governor: Set MIN_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER to 20
Currently MIN_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER is set defined as 100 and so on a system with
transition latency of 1 ms, the minimum sampling time comes to be around 100 ms.
That is quite big if you want to get better performance for your system.

Redefine MIN_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER to 20 so that we can support 20ms sampling rate
for such platforms.

4d5dcc4211 cpufreq: governor: Implement per policy instances of governors
Currently, there can't be multiple instances of single governor_type.
If we have a multi-package system, where we have multiple instances
of struct policy (per package), we can't have multiple instances of
same governor. i.e. We can't have multiple instances of ondemand
governor for multiple packages.

Governors directory in sysfs is created at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/
governor-name/. Which again reflects that there can be only one
instance of a governor_type in the system.

This is a bottleneck for multicluster system, where we want different
packages to use same governor type, but with different tunables.

This patch uses the infrastructure provided by earlier patch and
implements init/exit routines for ondemand and conservative
governors.

2abfa876f1 cpufreq: handle SW coordinated CPUs
This patch fixes a bug that occurred when we had load on a secondary CPU
and the primary CPU was sleeping. Only one sampling timer was spawned
and it was spawned as a deferred timer on the primary CPU, so when a
secondary CPU had a change in load this was not detected by the cpufreq
governor (both ondemand and conservative).

This patch make sure that deferred timers are run on all CPUs in the
case of software controlled CPUs that run on the same frequency.

4471a34f9a cpufreq: governors: remove redundant code
Initially ondemand governor was written and then using its code conservative
governor is written. It used a lot of code from ondemand governor, but copy of
code was created instead of using the same routines from both governors. Which
increased code redundancy, which is difficult to manage.

This patch is an attempt to move common part of both the governors to
cpufreq_governor.c file to come over above mentioned issues.

This shouldn't change anything from functionality point of view.
