Revert commit 3510fac454 (cpufreq: postfix policy directory with the
first CPU in related_cpus).
Earlier, the policy->kobj was added to the kobject core, before ->init()
callback was called for the cpufreq drivers. Which allowed those drivers
to add or remove, driver dependent, sysfs files/directories to the same
kobj from their ->init() and ->exit() callbacks.
That isn't possible anymore after commit 3510fac454.
Now, there is no other clean alternative that people can adopt.

Use the observation that cpufreq_update_util() is only called
by the scheduler with rq->lock held, so the callers of
cpufreq_set_update_util_data() can use synchronize_sched()
instead of synchronize_rcu() to wait for cpufreq_update_util()
to complete. Moreover, if they are updated to do that,
rcu_read_(un)lock() calls in cpufreq_update_util() might be
replaced with rcu_read_(un)lock_sched(), respectively, but
those aren't really necessary, because the scheduler calls
that function from RCU-sched read-side critical sections
already.
In addition to that, if cpufreq_set_update_util_data() checks
the func field in the struct update_util_data before setting
the per-CPU pointer to it, the data->func check may be dropped
from cpufreq_update_util() as well.
Make the above changes to reduce the overhead from
cpufreq_update_util() in the scheduler paths invoking it
and to make the cleanup after removing its callbacks less
heavy-weight somewhat.

There is a scenario that may lead to undesired results in
dbs_update_util_handler(). Namely, if two CPUs sharing a policy
enter the funtion at the same time, pass the sample delay check
and then one of them is stalled until dbs_work_handler() (queued
up by the other CPU) clears the work counter, it may update the
work counter and queue up another work item prematurely.
To prevent that from happening, use the observation that the CPU
queuing up a work item in dbs_update_util_handler() updates the
last sample time. This means that if another CPU was stalling after
passing the sample delay check and now successfully updated the work
counter as a result of the race described above, it will see the new
value of the last sample time which is different from what it used in
the sample delay check before. If that happens, the sample delay
check passed previously is not valid any more, so the CPU should not
continue.

Some fields in struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s
are only used for a limited set of CPUs. Namely, if a policy is
shared between multiple CPUs, those fields will only be used for one
of them (policy->cpu). This means that they really are per-policy
rather than per-CPU and holding room for them in per-CPU data
structures is generally wasteful. Also moving those fields into
per-policy data structures will allow some significant simplifications
to be made going forward.
For this reason, introduce struct cs_policy_dbs_info and
struct od_policy_dbs_info to hold those fields. Define each of the
new structures as an extension of struct policy_dbs_info (such that
struct policy_dbs_info is embedded in each of them) and introduce
new ->alloc and ->free governor callbacks to allocate and free
those structures, respectively, such that ->alloc() will return
a pointer to the struct policy_dbs_info embedded in the allocated
data structure and ->free() will take that pointer as its argument.
With that, modify the code accessing the data fields in question
in per-CPU data objects to look for them in the new structures
via the struct policy_dbs_info pointer available to it and drop
them from struct od_cpu_dbs_info_s and struct cs_cpu_dbs_info_s.

The ->store() callbacks of some tunable sysfs attributes of the
ondemand and conservative governors trigger immediate updates of
the CPU load information for all CPUs "governed" by the given
dbs_data by walking the cpu_dbs_info structures for all online
CPUs in the system and updating them.
This is questionable for two reasons. First, it may lead to a lot of
extra overhead on a system with many CPUs if the given dbs_data is
only associated with a few of them. Second, if governor tunables are
per-policy, the CPUs associated with the other sets of governor
tunables should not be updated.
To address this issue, use the observation that in all of the places
in question the update operation may be carried out in the same way
(because all of the tunables involved are now located in struct
dbs_data and readily available to the common code) and make the
code in those places invoke the same (new) helper function that

governor_store() acquires dbs_data->mutex right after
cpufreq_governor_exit() has released it, the ->store() callback
invoked by it may operate on dbs_data with no users. Although
sysfs will cause the kobject_put() in cpufreq_governor_exit() to

lead to some unexpected results, depending on the implementation

The way the ->gov_check_cpu governor callback is used by the ondemand
and conservative governors is not really straightforward. Namely, the
governor calls dbs_check_cpu() that updates the load information for
the policy and the invokes ->gov_check_cpu() for the governor.
To get rid of that entanglement, notice that cpufreq_governor_limits()
doesn't need to call dbs_check_cpu() directly. Instead, it can simply
reset the sample delay to 0 which will cause a sample to be taken
immediately. The result of that is practically equivalent to calling
dbs_check_cpu() except that it will trigger a full update of governor
internal state and not just the ->gov_check_cpu() part.
Following that observation, make cpufreq_governor_limits() reset
the sample delay and turn dbs_check_cpu() into a function that will
simply evaluate the load and return the result called dbs_update().
That function can now be called by governors from the routines that
previously were pointed to by ->gov_check_cpu and those routines
can be called directly by each governor instead of dbs_check_cpu().
This way ->gov_check_cpu becomes unnecessary, so drop it.

We should also ensure that policy->rwsem is held across governor

For example, while adding a CPU to the policy in the CPU online path,
we need to stop the governor, change policy->cpus, start the governor
and then refresh its limits. The complete sequence must be guaranteed
to complete without interruptions by concurrent governor state
updates. That can be achieved by holding policy->rwsem around those
sequences of operations.

routine in two pieces, one of them to be run with CPU offline/online

However, the handling of CPU offline in cpufreq has changed since
then. Policy sysfs attributes are never removed during CPU offline,
so there's no need to worry about accessing them during CPU offline,
because that can't lead to any deadlocks now. Governor sysfs
attributes are still removed in __cpufreq_governor(_EXIT), but
there is a new kobject type for them now and its show/store

The dbs_data_mutex lock is currently used in two places. First,
cpufreq_governor_dbs() uses it to guarantee mutual exclusion between
invocations of governor operations from the core. Second, it is used by
ondemand governor's update_sampling_rate() to ensure the stability of
data structures walked by it.
The second usage is quite problematic, because update_sampling_rate() is
called from a governor sysfs attribute's ->store callback and that leads
to a deadlock scenario involving cpufreq_governor_exit() which runs
under dbs_data_mutex. Thus it is better to rework the code so
update_sampling_rate() doesn't need to acquire dbs_data_mutex.
To that end, rework update_sampling_rate() to walk a list of policy_dbs
objects supported by the dbs_data one it has been called for (instead of
walking cpu_dbs_info object for all CPUs). The list manipulation is
protected with dbs_data->mutex which also is held around the execution
of update_sampling_rate(), it is not necessary to hold dbs_data_mutex in
that function any more.

Earlier, when the struct freq-attr was used to represent governor
attributes, the standard cpufreq show/store sysfs attribute callbacks
were applied to the governor tunable attributes and they always acquire
the policy->rwsem lock before carrying out the operation. That could
have resulted in an ABBA deadlock if governor tunable attributes are
removed under policy->rwsem while one of them is being accessed
concurrently (if sysfs attributes removal wins the race, it will wait
for the access to complete with policy->rwsem held while the attribute
callback will block on policy->rwsem indefinitely).
We attempted to address this issue by dropping policy->rwsem around
governor tunable attributes removal (that is, around invocations of the
->governor callback with the event arg equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT)
in cpufreq_set_policy(), but that opened up race conditions that had not
been possible with policy->rwsem held all the time.
The previous commit, "cpufreq: governor: New sysfs show/store callbacks
for governor tunables", fixed the original ABBA deadlock by adding new
governor specific show/store callbacks.
We don't have to drop rwsem around invocations of governor event
CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT anymore, and original fix can be reverted now.

The previous commit introduced a new set of macros for creating sysfs
attributes that represent governor tunables and the old macros used for
this purpose are not needed any more, so drop them.

The ondemand and conservative governors use the global-attr or freq-attr
structures to represent sysfs attributes corresponding to their tunables
(which of them is actually used depends on whether or not different
policy objects can use the same governor with different tunables at the
same time and, consequently, on where those attributes are located in
sysfs).
Unfortunately, in the freq-attr case, the standard cpufreq show/store
sysfs attribute callbacks are applied to the governor tunable attributes
and they always acquire the policy->rwsem lock before carrying out the
operation. That may lead to an ABBA deadlock if governor tunable
attributes are removed under policy->rwsem while one of them is being
accessed concurrently (if sysfs attributes removal wins the race, it
will wait for the access to complete with policy->rwsem held while the
attribute callback will block on policy->rwsem indefinitely).
We attempted to address this issue by dropping policy->rwsem around
governor tunable attributes removal (that is, around invocations of the
->governor callback with the event arg equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT)
in cpufreq_set_policy(), but that opened up race conditions that had not
been possible with policy->rwsem held all the time. Therefore
policy->rwsem cannot be dropped in cpufreq_set_policy() at any point,
but the deadlock situation described above must be avoided too.
To that end, use the observation that in principle governor tunables may
be represented by the same data type regardless of whether the governor
is system-wide or per-policy and introduce a new structure, struct
governor_attr, for representing them and new corresponding macros for
creating show/store sysfs callbacks for them. Also make their parent
kobject use a new kobject type whose default show/store callbacks are
not related to the standard core cpufreq ones in any way (and they don't
acquire policy->rwsem in particular).

There are a few common tunables shared between the ondemand and
conservative governors. Move them to struct dbs_data to simplify
code.

Some tunables are present in governor-specific structures, whereas one
(min_sampling_rate) is located directly in struct dbs_data.
There is a special macro for creating its sysfs attribute and the
show/store callbacks, but since more tunables are going to be moved
to struct dbs_data, a new generic macro for such cases will be useful,
so add it and use it for min_sampling_rate.
