[PATCH] cpufreq: Allow accessing freq_table for offline CPUs

From: Viresh Kumar
Date: Wed Jul 08 2015 - 03:39:17 EST


Users of freq table may want to access it for any CPU from
policy->related_cpus mask. One such user is cpu-cooling layer. It gets a
list of 'clip_cpus' (equivalent to policy->related_cpus) during
registration and tries to get freq_table for the first CPU of this mask.

If the CPU, for which it tries to fetch freq_table, is offline,
cpufreq_frequency_get_table() fails. This happens because it relies on
cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() for its functioning which returns policy only for
online CPUs.

Fix this by considering offline CPUs, but with a restriction that the
policy is active at that time.

Because we will be using 'cpufreq_cpu_data' now, which is internal to
cpufreq-core, lets also move cpufreq_frequency_get_table() to cpufreq.c
file.

This was recently tried by Pi cheng but in a completely different way:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-pm&m=143572367402758&w=2

Its not broken by any stuff in 4.2, but would be good if we can push
this for 4.2 as well.
