[PATCH] cpufreq, Fix overflow in busy_scaled due to long delay

From: Prarit Bhargava
Date: Wed Jun 10 2015 - 09:19:02 EST


I looked into switching to div64_s64() instead of the 32-bit version in
div_fp(), however, this would result in sample_ratio and core_busy returning
0 which is something we don't want.

The kernel may delay interrupts for a long time which can result in timers
being delayed. If this occurs the intel_pstate driver will crash with
a divide by zero error:

The kernel values for cpudata for CPU 113 were:

struct cpudata {
cpu = 113,
timer = {
entry = {
next = 0x0,
prev = 0xdead000000200200
},
expires = 8357799745,
base = 0xffff883fe84ec001,
function = 0xffffffff814a9100 <intel_pstate_timer_func>,
data = 18446612406765768960,
<snip>
i_gain = 0,
d_gain = 0,
deadband = 0,
last_err = 22489
},
last_sample_time = {
tv64 = 4063132438017305
},
prev_aperf = 287326796397463,
prev_mperf = 251427432090198,
sample = {
core_pct_busy = 23081,
aperf = 2937407,
mperf = 3257884,
freq = 2524484,
time = {
tv64 = 4063149215234118
}
}
}

which results in the time between samples = last_sample_time - sample.time
= 4063149215234118 - 4063132438017305 = 16777216813 which is 16.777 seconds.

The duration between reads of the APERF and MPERF registers overflowed a s32
sized integer in intel_pstate_get_scaled_busy()'s call to div_fp(). The result
is that int_tofp(duration_us) == 0, and the kernel attempts to divide by 0.

While the kernel shouldn't be delaying for a long time, it can and does
happen, and the intel_pstate driver should not panic in this situation. This
patch checks for an overflow and ignores the current calculation cycle by
returning -EINVAL. Since intel_pstate_sample() has been called, subsequent
timer function calls will then again pick up the correct calculations and the
system will continue functioning properly.
