[ Upstream commit bab7834c03820eb11269bc48f07c3800192460d2 ]

Commit 96ffcdf239de ("PM / devfreq: Remove redundant governor_name from
struct devfreq") removes governor_name and uses governor-&gt;name to replace
it. But devfreq-&gt;governor may be NULL and directly using
devfreq-&gt;governor-&gt;name may cause null pointer exception. Move the check of
governor to before using governor-&gt;name.

[ Upstream commit aed5ed595960c6d301dcd4ed31aeaa7a8054c0c6 ]

There is a chance if a frequent switch of the governor
done in a loop result in timer list corruption where
timer cancel being done from two place one from
cancel_delayed_work_sync() and followed by expire_timers()
can be seen from the traces[1].

while true
do
        echo "simple_ondemand" &gt; /sys/class/devfreq/1d84000.ufshc/governor
        echo "performance" &gt; /sys/class/devfreq/1d84000.ufshc/governor
done

It looks to be issue with devfreq driver where
device_monitor_[start/stop] need to synchronized so that
delayed work should get corrupted while it is either
being queued or running or being cancelled.

Let's use polling flag and devfreq lock to synchronize the
queueing the timer instance twice and work data being
corrupted.

[ Upstream commit 08e23d05fa6dc4fc13da0ccf09defdd4bbc92ff4 ]

Fix buffer overflow in trans_stat_show().

Convert simple snprintf to the more secure scnprintf with size of
PAGE_SIZE.

Add condition checking if we are exceeding PAGE_SIZE and exit early from
loop. Also add at the end a warning that we exceeded PAGE_SIZE and that
stats is disabled.

Return -EFBIG in the case where we don't have enough space to write the
full transition table.

Also document in the ABI that this function can return -EFBIG error.

<title>PM/devfreq: governor: Add a private governor_data for governor</title>

<id>urn:sha1:876c6ab96782343de2d8ada8b38ea7189c98bbc6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 5fdded8448924e3631d466eea499b11606c43640 upstream.

The member void *data in the structure devfreq can be overwrite
by governor_userspace. For example:
1. The device driver assigned the devfreq governor to simple_ondemand
by the function devfreq_add_device() and init the devfreq member
void *data to a pointer of a static structure devfreq_simple_ondemand_data
by the function devfreq_add_device().
2. The user changed the devfreq governor to userspace by the command
"echo userspace &gt; /sys/class/devfreq/.../governor".
3. The governor userspace alloced a dynamic memory for the struct
userspace_data and assigend the member void *data of devfreq to
this memory by the function userspace_init().
4. The user changed the devfreq governor back to simple_ondemand
by the command "echo simple_ondemand &gt; /sys/class/devfreq/.../governor".
5. The governor userspace exited and assigned the member void *data
in the structure devfreq to NULL by the function userspace_exit().
6. The governor simple_ondemand fetched the static information of
devfreq_simple_ondemand_data in the function
devfreq_simple_ondemand_func() but the member void *data of devfreq was
assigned to NULL by the function userspace_exit().
7. The information of upthreshold and downdifferential is lost
and the governor simple_ondemand can't work correctly.

The member void *data in the structure devfreq is designed for
a static pointer used in a governor and inited by the function
devfreq_add_device(). This patch add an element named governor_data
in the devfreq structure which can be used by a governor(E.g userspace)
who want to assign a private data to do some private things.

HZ unit conversion macros are available in units.h, use them and remove
the duplicate definition.

The new macro has an unsigned long type.

All the code is dealing with unsigned long and the code using the macro is
doing a coercitive cast to unsigned long.

Currently the default behavior is to manually having the devfreq
backend to register themselves as a devfreq cooling device.

Instead of adding the code in the drivers for the thermal cooling
device registering, let's provide a flag in the devfreq's profile to
tell the common devfreq code to register the newly created devfreq as
a cooling device.
