46dfd401fb CHROMIUM: android: Unconditionally remove callbacks in sync_fence_free()
Using fence->status to determine whether or not there are callbacks
remaining on the sync_fence is racy since fence->status may have been
decremented to 0 on another CPU before fence_check_cb_func() has
completed.  By unconditionally calling fence_remove_callback() for each
fence in the sync_fence, we guarantee that each callback has either
completed (since fence_remove_callback() grabs the fence lock) or been
removed.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:46382
TEST=Reboot cycle test on Smaug; no crashes seen.

remove last callback for given fence.

b76c913436 video: adf: build fixes for 4.1
Couple of ADF build fixes for v4.1

adf/adf_fops.c fix:
get_unused_fd() is obsolete, use get_unused_fd_flags(O_CLOEXEC)
instead to allocate a default file descriptor. This fix is a
followup of upstream commit f938612dd9 "include/linux/file.h:
remove get_unused_fd() macro".

adf/adf_memblock.c fix:
Fix dma_buf_export() call. Based on mainline commit d8fbe341be
"dma-buf: cleanup dma_buf_export() to make it easily extensible".

Otherwise we run into following build failures:

5bd7300657 video: adf: use rb_erase in adf_obj_destroy.
Not calling rb_erase() can cause slab corruption, as the rb_first() call
after kfree() in adf_obj_destroy() can return the same node twice unless
it is erased.

This problem was reproduced by unloading a kernel module that used the
adf framework *after* a vsync event was registered. A crash would occur
in rb_first(). (Just loading and immediately unloading the module without
the vsync event worked correctly.)

69094222cf video: adf: add buffer padding quirk
Quirks specify common behaviors that vary slightly among devices, and
which ADF must account for.

The buffer padding quirk captures the way different devices fetch the
last scanline in a buffer: some devices fetch an entire line (including
padding to the pitch) while others only fetch up to the visible width.
ADF's buffer size validation now takes this quirk into account.

9d84e01be1 video: adf: ensure consistent alignment on userspace facing structs
64-bit types in structs create alignment problems when a 32-bit x86
userspace talks to an x86_64 kernel.  In most cases the 64-bit types can
be replaced with 32-bit ones, since they're being used for fds and
should have been __s32 in the first place.  For adf_vsync_event,
alignment can be enforced by making the timestamp an __aligned_u64.

41bda719aa video: adf: replace fbdev helper's open flag with refcount
A device's fb_info is shared between clients.  fb_release() is called
when each client is released, not just the last one.  Since the fbdev
helper needs to release its dma-buf when the last client goes away, it
must keep its own reference count.

fbmem and fbcon hold different locks while calling fb_release(), so
explicit locking is needed.

68ff076002 video: adf: support "simple" buffers
Simple buffers are linear RGB buffers analogous to KMS's dumb buffers.
Simple buffers can be allocated and posted to a display interface
without any driver-private data.

Internally, ADF drivers provide the driver-private data needed (if any)
to post a simple buffer to the display.

4808d28351 subsystem: CPU FREQUENCY DRIVERS- Set cpu_load calculation on current frequency
In timer, cpu_load is calcuated on target_freq.
cpu_load = loadadjfreq / pcpu->target_freq;
But cpu is actually running on current freq i.e. pcpu->policy->cur. So cpu_load
should be calculated on current frequency.
cpu_load = loadadjfreq / pcpu->policy->cur;

b1b0fd3727 cpufreq: interactive: Rearm governor timer at max freq
Interactive governor doesn't rearm per-cpu timer if target_freq is
equal to policy->max. However, this does not have clear performance
benefits. Profiling doesn't show any difference in benchmarks, games
or other workloads, if timers are always rearmed.

At same time, there are a few issues caused by not rearming timer
at policy->max.

1) min_sample_time enforcement is inconsistent

For target frequency that is lower than policy->max, it will not
drop until min_sample_time has passed since last frequency evaluation
selected current frequency. However, for policy->max, it will
always drop immediately as long as CPU has been run for longer than
min_sample_time. This is because timer is not running and thus
floor_freq and floor_validate_time is not updated.

Example: assume min_sample_time is 59ms and timer_rate is 20ms.
Frequency X < Y. Let's say CPU would pick the following frequencies
before accounting for min_sample_time in each 20ms sampling window.
Y, Y, Y, Y, X, X, X, X, X
If Y is not policy->max, the final target_freq after considering
min_sample_time will be Y, Y, Y, Y, *Y, *Y, X, X, X
* marks the windows where frequency is prevented from dropping.
If Y is policy->max, the final target_freq will be
Y, Y, Y, Y, X, X, X, X, X

2) Rearm timer in IDLE_START does not work as intended

IDLE_START/END is sent in arch_cpu_idle_enter/exit(). However, next
wake up is decided in tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which traverses the
timer list before idle notification is sent out. Therefore, rearming
timer in idle notification won't take effect until CPU wakes up at
least once. In rare scenarios when a CPU goes to idle and sleeps for a
long time immediately after a heavy load stops, it may not wake up
to drop its frequency vote for a long time, defeating the purpose of
having a slack_timer.

3) Need to rearm timer for policy->max change

commit 535a553fc1c4b4c3627c73214ade6326615a7463
(cpufreq: interactive: restructure CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS) mentions the
problem of timer getting indefinitely pushed back due to frequency
changes in policy->min/max. However, it still cancels and rearms timer
if policy->max is increased, and same problem could still happen if
policy->max is frequently changing after the fix. The best solution is
to always rearm timer for each CPU even if it's running at
policy->max.

Rearming timers even if target_freq is policy->max solves these
problems cleanly. It also simplifies the design and code of interactive
governor.
