[PATCH v4 1/2] cpufreq: ondemand: handle SW coordinated CPUs

From: Fabio Baltieri
Date: Fri Nov 23 2012 - 04:40:06 EST


From: Rickard Andersson <rickard.andersson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch fixes a bug that occured 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 ondemand
governor.

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.

Changes from v3:
- moved update_sampling rate code on 2/2
- simplified dbs_sw_coordinated_cpus
- reworked timer handling for code readability, now:
* do_dbs_timer() [-> dbs_timer_coordinated()] -> dbs_timer_update()
- simplified cpu_callback cases
