+Charger Manager
+ (C) 2011 MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>, GPL
+
+Charger Manager provides in-kernel battery charger management that
+requires temperature monitoring during suspend-to-RAM state
+and where each battery may have multiple chargers attached and the userland
+wants to look at the aggregated information of the multiple chargers.
+
+Charger Manager is a platform_driver with power-supply-class entries.
+An instance of Charger Manager (a platform-device created with Charger-Manager)
+represents an independent battery with chargers. If there are multiple
+batteries with their own chargers acting independently in a system,
+the system may need multiple instances of Charger Manager.
+
+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+Charger Manager supports the following:
+
+* Support for multiple chargers (e.g., a device with USB, AC, and solar panels)
+ A system may have multiple chargers (or power sources) and some of
+ they may be activated at the same time. Each charger may have its
+ own power-supply-class and each power-supply-class can provide
+ different information about the battery status. This framework
+ aggregates charger-related information from multiple sources and
+ shows combined information as a single power-supply-class.
+
+* Support for in suspend-to-RAM polling (with suspend_again callback)
+ While the battery is being charged and the system is in suspend-to-RAM,
+ we may need to monitor the battery health by looking at the ambient or
+ battery temperature. We can accomplish this by waking up the system
+ periodically. However, such a method wakes up devices unncessary for
+ monitoring the battery health and tasks, and user processes that are
+ supposed to be kept suspended. That, in turn, incurs unnecessary power
+ consumption and slow down charging process. Or even, such peak power
+ consumption can stop chargers in the middle of charging
+ (external power input < device power consumption), which not
+ only affects the charging time, but the lifespan of the battery.
+
+ Charger Manager provides a function "cm_suspend_again" that can be
+ used as suspend_again callback of platform_suspend_ops. If the platform
+ requires tasks other than cm_suspend_again, it may implement its own
+ suspend_again callback that calls cm_suspend_again in the middle.
+ Normally, the platform will need to resume and suspend some devices
+ that are used by Charger Manager.
+
+* Support for premature full-battery event handling
+ If the battery voltage drops by "fullbatt_vchkdrop_uV" after
+ "fullbatt_vchkdrop_ms" from the full-battery event, the framework
+ restarts charging. This check is also performed while suspended by
+ setting wakeup time accordingly and using suspend_again.
+
+* Support for uevent-notify
+ With the charger-related events, the device sends
+ notification to users with UEVENT.
+
+2. Global Charger-Manager Data related with suspend_again
+========================================================
+In order to setup Charger Manager with suspend-again feature
+(in-suspend monitoring), the user should provide charger_global_desc
+with setup_charger_manager(struct charger_global_desc *).
+This charger_global_desc data for in-suspend monitoring is global
+as the name suggests. Thus, the user needs to provide only once even
+if there are multiple batteries. If there are multiple batteries, the
+multiple instances of Charger Manager share the same charger_global_desc
+and it will manage in-suspend monitoring for all instances of Charger Manager.
+
+The user needs to provide all the three entries properly in order to activate
+in-suspend monitoring:
+
+struct charger_global_desc {
+
+char *rtc_name;
+ : The name of rtc (e.g., "rtc0") used to wakeup the system from
+ suspend for Charger Manager. The alarm interrupt (AIE) of the rtc
+ should be able to wake up the system from suspend. Charger Manager
+ saves and restores the alarm value and use the previously-defined
+ alarm if it is going to go off earlier than Charger Manager so that
+ Charger Manager does not interfere with previously-defined alarms.
+
+bool (*rtc_only_wakeup)(void);
+ : This callback should let CM know whether
+ the wakeup-from-suspend is caused only by the alarm of "rtc" in the
+ same struct. If there is any other wakeup source triggered the
+ wakeup, it should return false. If the "rtc" is the only wakeup
+ reason, it should return true.
+
+bool assume_timer_stops_in_suspend;
+ : if true, Charger Manager assumes that
+ the timer (CM uses jiffies as timer) stops during suspend. Then, CM
+ assumes that the suspend-duration is same as the alarm length.
+};
+
+3. How to setup suspend_again
+=============================
+Charger Manager provides a function "extern bool cm_suspend_again(void)".
+When cm_suspend_again is called, it monitors every battery. The suspend_ops
+callback of the system's platform_suspend_ops can call cm_suspend_again
+function to know whether Charger Manager wants to suspend again or not.
+If there are no other devices or tasks that want to use suspend_again
+feature, the platform_suspend_ops may directly refer to cm_suspend_again
+for its suspend_again callback.
+
+The cm_suspend_again() returns true (meaning "I want to suspend again")
+if the system was woken up by Charger Manager and the polling
+(in-suspend monitoring) results in "normal".
+
+4. Charger-Manager Data (struct charger_desc)
+=============================================
+For each battery charged independently from other batteries (if a series of
+batteries are charged by a single charger, they are counted as one independent
+battery), an instance of Charger Manager is attached to it.
+
+struct charger_desc {
+
+char *psy_name;
+ : The power-supply-class name of the battery. Default is
+ "battery" if psy_name is NULL. Users can access the psy entries
+ at "/sys/class/power_supply/[psy_name]/".
+
+enum polling_modes polling_mode;
+ : CM_POLL_DISABLE: do not poll this battery.
+ CM_POLL_ALWAYS: always poll this battery.
+ CM_POLL_EXTERNAL_POWER_ONLY: poll this battery if and only if
+ an external power source is attached.
+ CM_POLL_CHARGING_ONLY: poll this battery if and only if the
+ battery is being charged.
+
+unsigned int fullbatt_vchkdrop_ms;
+unsigned int fullbatt_vchkdrop_uV;
+ : If both have non-zero values, Charger Manager will check the
+ battery voltage drop fullbatt_vchkdrop_ms after the battery is fully
+ charged. If the voltage drop is over fullbatt_vchkdrop_uV, Charger
+ Manager will try to recharge the battery by disabling and enabling
+ chargers. Recharge with voltage drop condition only (without delay
+ condition) is needed to be implemented with hardware interrupts from
+ fuel gauges or charger devices/chips.
+
+unsigned int fullbatt_uV;
+ : If specified with a non-zero value, Charger Manager assumes
+ that the battery is full (capacity = 100) if the battery is not being
+ charged and the battery voltage is equal to or greater than
+ fullbatt_uV.
+
+unsigned int polling_interval_ms;
+ : Required polling interval in ms. Charger Manager will poll
+ this battery every polling_interval_ms or more frequently.
+
+enum data_source battery_present;
+ : CM_BATTERY_PRESENT: assume that the battery exists.
+ CM_NO_BATTERY: assume that the battery does not exists.
+ CM_FUEL_GAUGE: get battery presence information from fuel gauge.
+ CM_CHARGER_STAT: get battery presence from chargers.
+
+char **psy_charger_stat;
+ : An array ending with NULL that has power-supply-class names of
+ chargers. Each power-supply-class should provide "PRESENT" (if
+ battery_present is "CM_CHARGER_STAT"), "ONLINE" (shows whether an
+ external power source is attached or not), and "STATUS" (shows whether
+ the battery is {"FULL" or not FULL} or {"FULL", "Charging",
+ "Discharging", "NotCharging"}).
+
+int num_charger_regulators;
+struct regulator_bulk_data *charger_regulators;
+ : Regulators representing the chargers in the form for
+ regulator framework's bulk functions.
+
+char *psy_fuel_gauge;
+ : Power-supply-class name of the fuel gauge.
+
+int (*temperature_out_of_range)(int *mC);
+bool measure_battery_temp;
+ : This callback returns 0 if the temperature is safe for charging,
+ a positive number if it is too hot to charge, and a negative number
+ if it is too cold to charge. With the variable mC, the callback returns
+ the temperature in 1/1000 of centigrade.
+ The source of temperature can be battery or ambient one according to
+ the value of measure_battery_temp.
+};
+
+5. Notify Charger-Manager of charger events: cm_notify_event()
+=========================================================
+If there is an charger event is required to notify
+Charger Manager, a charger device driver that triggers the event can call
+cm_notify_event(psy, type, msg) to notify the corresponding Charger Manager.
+In the function, psy is the charger driver's power_supply pointer, which is
+associated with Charger-Manager. The parameter "type"
+is the same as irq's type (enum cm_event_types). The event message "msg" is
+optional and is effective only if the event type is "UNDESCRIBED" or "OTHERS".
+
+6. Other Considerations
+=======================
+
+At the charger/battery-related events such as battery-pulled-out,
+charger-pulled-out, charger-inserted, DCIN-over/under-voltage, charger-stopped,
+and others critical to chargers, the system should be configured to wake up.
+At least the following should wake up the system from a suspend:
+a) charger-on/off b) external-power-in/out c) battery-in/out (while charging)
+
+It is usually accomplished by configuring the PMIC as a wakeup source.

Whether or not a device is capable of issuing wakeup events is a hardware

decision, and it is managed by user space through a sysfs attribute: the

+All phases use PM domain, bus, type, class or driver callbacks (that is, methods

+
+Device Power Management Domains
+-------------------------------
+Sometimes devices share reference clocks or other power resources. In those
+cases it generally is not possible to put devices into low-power states
+individually. Instead, a set of devices sharing a power resource can be put
+into a low-power state together at the same time by turning off the shared
+power resource. Of course, they also need to be put into the full-power state
+together, by turning the shared power resource on. A set of devices with this
+property is often referred to as a power domain.
+
+Support for power domains is provided through the pm_domain field of struct
+device. This field is a pointer to an object of type struct dev_pm_domain,
+defined in include/linux/pm.h, providing a set of power management callbacks
+analogous to the subsystem-level and device driver callbacks that are executed
+for the given device during all power transitions, instead of the respective
+subsystem-level callbacks. Specifically, if a device's pm_domain pointer is
+not NULL, the ->suspend() callback from the object pointed to by it will be
+executed instead of its subsystem's (e.g. bus type's) ->suspend() callback and
+analogously for all of the remaining callbacks. In other words, power
+management domain callbacks, if defined for the given device, always take
+precedence over the callbacks provided by the device's subsystem (e.g. bus
+type).
+
+The support for device power management domains is only relevant to platforms
+needing to use the same device driver power management callbacks in many
+different power domain configurations and wanting to avoid incorporating the
+support for power domains into subsystem-level callbacks, for example by
+modifying the platform bus type. Other platforms need not implement it or take

Complex SoCs of today consists of a multiple sub-modules working in conjunction.
In an operational system executing varied use cases, not all modules in the SoC
need to function at their highest performing frequency all the time. To
facilitate this, sub-modules in a SoC are grouped into domains, allowing some

+The set of discrete tuples consisting of frequency and voltage pairs that
the device will support per domain are called Operating Performance Points or

+{300MHz at minimum voltage of 1V}, {800MHz at minimum voltage of 1.2V},
+{1GHz at minimum voltage of 1.3V}

+.set_latency_tolerance() callback will be executed and the effective value will
+be passed to it. If that value is negative, which means that the list of
+latency tolerance requirements for the device is empty, the callback is expected
+to switch the underlying hardware latency tolerance control mechanism to an
+autonomous mode if available. If that value is PM_QOS_LATENCY_ANY, in turn, and
+the hardware supports a special "no requirement" setting, the callback is
+expected to use it. That allows software to prevent the hardware from
+automatically updating the device's latency tolerance in response to its power
+state changes (e.g. during transitions from D3cold to D0), which generally may
+be done in the autonomous latency tolerance control mode.
+
+If .set_latency_tolerance() is present for the device, sysfs attribute
+pm_qos_latency_tolerance_us will be present in the devivce's power directory.
+Then, user space can use that attribute to specify its latency tolerance
+requirement for the device, if any. Writing "any" to it means "no requirement,
+but do not let the hardware control latency tolerance" and writing "auto" to it
+allows the hardware to be switched to the autonomous mode if there are no other
+requirements from the kernel side in the device's list.
+
+Kernel code can use the functions described above along with the
+DEV_PM_QOS_LATENCY_TOLERANCE device PM QoS type to add, remove and update
+latency tolerance requirements for devices.

+Power Capping Framework
+==================================
+
+The power capping framework provides a consistent interface between the kernel
+and the user space that allows power capping drivers to expose the settings to
+user space in a uniform way.
+
+Terminology
+=========================
+The framework exposes power capping devices to user space via sysfs in the
+form of a tree of objects. The objects at the root level of the tree represent
+'control types', which correspond to different methods of power capping. For
+example, the intel-rapl control type represents the Intel "Running Average
+Power Limit" (RAPL) technology, whereas the 'idle-injection' control type
+corresponds to the use of idle injection for controlling power.
+
+Power zones represent different parts of the system, which can be controlled and
+monitored using the power capping method determined by the control type the
+given zone belongs to. They each contain attributes for monitoring power, as
+well as controls represented in the form of power constraints. If the parts of
+the system represented by different power zones are hierarchical (that is, one
+bigger part consists of multiple smaller parts that each have their own power
+controls), those power zones may also be organized in a hierarchy with one
+parent power zone containing multiple subzones and so on to reflect the power
+control topology of the system. In that case, it is possible to apply power
+capping to a set of devices together using the parent power zone and if more
+fine grained control is required, it can be applied through the subzones.
+
+
+Example sysfs interface tree:

+
+The above example illustrates a case in which the Intel RAPL technology,
+available in Intel® IA-64 and IA-32 Processor Architectures, is used. There is one
+control type called intel-rapl which contains two power zones, intel-rapl:0 and
+intel-rapl:1, representing CPU packages. Each of these power zones contains
+two subzones, intel-rapl:j:0 and intel-rapl:j:1 (j = 0, 1), representing the
+"core" and the "uncore" parts of the given CPU package, respectively. All of
+the zones and subzones contain energy monitoring attributes (energy_uj,
+max_energy_range_uj) and constraint attributes (constraint_*) allowing controls
+to be applied (the constraints in the 'package' power zones apply to the whole
+CPU packages and the subzone constraints only apply to the respective parts of
+the given package individually). Since Intel RAPL doesn't provide instantaneous
+power value, there is no power_uw attribute.
+
+In addition to that, each power zone contains a name attribute, allowing the
+part of the system represented by that zone to be identified.
+For example:
+
+cat /sys/class/power_cap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl:0/name
+package-0
+
+The Intel RAPL technology allows two constraints, short term and long term,
+with two different time windows to be applied to each power zone. Thus for
+each zone there are 2 attributes representing the constraint names, 2 power
+limits and 2 attributes representing the sizes of the time windows. Such that,
+constraint_j_* attributes correspond to the jth constraint (j = 0,1).
+
+For example:
+ constraint_0_name
+ constraint_0_power_limit_uw
+ constraint_0_time_window_us
+ constraint_1_name
+ constraint_1_power_limit_uw
+ constraint_1_time_window_us
+
+Power Zone Attributes
+=================================
+Monitoring attributes
+----------------------
+
+energy_uj (rw): Current energy counter in micro joules. Write "0" to reset.
+If the counter can not be reset, then this attribute is read only.
+
+max_energy_range_uj (ro): Range of the above energy counter in micro-joules.
+
+power_uw (ro): Current power in micro watts.
+
+max_power_range_uw (ro): Range of the above power value in micro-watts.
+
+name (ro): Name of this power zone.
+
+It is possible that some domains have both power ranges and energy counter ranges;
+however, only one is mandatory.
+
+Constraints
+----------------
+constraint_X_power_limit_uw (rw): Power limit in micro watts, which should be
+applicable for the time window specified by "constraint_X_time_window_us".
+
+constraint_X_time_window_us (rw): Time window in micro seconds.
+
+constraint_X_name (ro): An optional name of the constraint
+
+constraint_X_max_power_uw(ro): Maximum allowed power in micro watts.
+
+constraint_X_min_power_uw(ro): Minimum allowed power in micro watts.
+
+constraint_X_max_time_window_us(ro): Maximum allowed time window in micro seconds.
+
+constraint_X_min_time_window_us(ro): Minimum allowed time window in micro seconds.
+
+Except power_limit_uw and time_window_us other fields are optional.
+
+Common zone and control type attributes
+----------------------------------------
+enabled (rw): Enable/Disable controls at zone level or for all zones using
+a control type.
+
+Power Cap Client Driver Interface
+==================================
+The API summary:
+
+Call powercap_register_control_type() to register control type object.
+Call powercap_register_zone() to register a power zone (under a given
+control type), either as a top-level power zone or as a subzone of another
+power zone registered earlier.
+The number of constraints in a power zone and the corresponding callbacks have
+to be defined prior to calling powercap_register_zone() to register that zone.
+
+To Free a power zone call powercap_unregister_zone().
+To free a control type object call powercap_unregister_control_type().
+Detailed API can be generated using kernel-doc on include/linux/powercap.h.

+
+ 3. Device class of the device, if both dev->class and dev->class->pm are
+ present.
+
+ 4. Bus type of the device, if both dev->bus and dev->bus->pm are present.
+
+If the subsystem chosen by applying the above rules doesn't provide the relevant
+callback, the PM core will invoke the corresponding driver callback stored in
+dev->driver->pm directly (if present).
+
+The PM core always checks which callback to use in the order given above, so the
+priority order of callbacks from high to low is: PM domain, device type, class
+and bus type. Moreover, the high-priority one will always take precedence over
+a low-priority one. The PM domain, bus type, device type and class callbacks
+are referred to as subsystem-level callbacks in what follows.
+
+By default, the callbacks are always invoked in process context with interrupts
+enabled. However, the pm_runtime_irq_safe() helper function can be used to tell
+the PM core that it is safe to run the ->runtime_suspend(), ->runtime_resume()
+and ->runtime_idle() callbacks for the given device in atomic context with
+interrupts disabled. This implies that the callback routines in question must
+not block or sleep, but it also means that the synchronous helper functions
+listed at the end of Section 4 may be used for that device within an interrupt
+handler or generally in an atomic context.
+
+The subsystem-level suspend callback, if present, is _entirely_ _responsible_
+for handling the suspend of the device as appropriate, which may, but need not
+include executing the device driver's own ->runtime_suspend() callback (from the
PM core's point of view it is not necessary to implement a ->runtime_suspend()
callback in a device driver as long as the subsystem-level suspend callback
knows what to do to handle the device).
- * Once the subsystem-level suspend callback has completed successfully
- for given device, the PM core regards the device as suspended, which need

- not communicate with the CPU(s) and RAM until the subsystem-level resume

-

+ special helper functions for this purpose).
+
+In particular, if the driver requires remote wakeup capability (i.e. hardware
mechanism allowing the device to request a change of its power state, such as
PCI PME) for proper functioning and device_run_wake() returns 'false' for the
device, then ->runtime_suspend() should return -EBUSY. On the other hand, if
-device_run_wake() returns 'true' for the device and the device is put into a low
-power state during the execution of the subsystem-level suspend callback, it is
-expected that remote wake-up will be enabled for the device. Generally, remote
-wake-up should be enabled for all input devices put into a low power state at
-run time.
-
-The subsystem-level resume callback is _entirely_ _responsible_ for handling the

+
+Moreover, the driver core prevents runtime PM callbacks from racing with the bus

+notifier is used by some subsystems to carry out operations affecting the
+runtime PM functionality. It does so by calling pm_runtime_get_sync() before
+driver_sysfs_remove() and the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER notifications. This
+resumes the device if it's in the suspended state and prevents it from
+being suspended again while those routines are being executed.
+
+To allow bus types and drivers to put devices into the suspended state by
+calling pm_runtime_suspend() from their ->remove() routines, the driver core
+executes pm_runtime_put_sync() after running the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER

+The PM core always increments the runtime usage counter before calling the

+Hence disabling runtime PM temporarily like this will not cause any runtime
+suspend attempts to be permanently lost. If the usage count goes to zero
+following the return of the ->resume() callback, the ->runtime_idle() callback
+will be invoked as usual.
+
+On some systems, however, system sleep is not entered through a global firmware
+or hardware operation. Instead, all hardware components are put into low-power
+states directly by the kernel in a coordinated way. Then, the system sleep
+state effectively follows from the states the hardware components end up in
+and the system is woken up from that state by a hardware interrupt or a similar
+mechanism entirely under the kernel's control. As a result, the kernel never
+gives control away and the states of all devices during resume are precisely
+known to it. If that is the case and none of the situations listed above takes
+place (in particular, if the system is not waking up from hibernation), it may
+be more efficient to leave the devices that had been suspended before the system
+suspend began in the suspended state.
+
+To this end, the PM core provides a mechanism allowing some coordination between
+different levels of device hierarchy. Namely, if a system suspend .prepare()
+callback returns a positive number for a device, that indicates to the PM core
+that the device appears to be runtime-suspended and its state is fine, so it
+may be left in runtime suspend provided that all of its descendants are also
+left in runtime suspend. If that happens, the PM core will not execute any
+system suspend and resume callbacks for all of those devices, except for the
+complete callback, which is then entirely responsible for handling the device
+as appropriate. This only applies to system suspend transitions that are not
+related to hibernation (see Documentation/power/devices.txt for more
+information).
+
+The PM core does its best to reduce the probability of race conditions between
+the runtime PM and system suspend/resume (and hibernation) callbacks by carrying
+out the following operations:
+
+ * During system suspend pm_runtime_get_noresume() is called for every device
+ right before executing the subsystem-level .prepare() callback for it and
+ pm_runtime_barrier() is called for every device right before executing the
+ subsystem-level .suspend() callback for it. In addition to that the PM core
+ calls __pm_runtime_disable() with 'false' as the second argument for every
+ device right before executing the subsystem-level .suspend_late() callback
+ for it.
+
+ * During system resume pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_put() are called for
+ every device right after executing the subsystem-level .resume_early()
+ callback and right after executing the subsystem-level .complete() callback
+ for it, respectively.

+Interaction of Suspend code (S3) with the CPU hotplug infrastructure
+

+
+
+I. How does the regular CPU hotplug code differ from how the Suspend-to-RAM
+ infrastructure uses it internally? And where do they share common code?
+
+Well, a picture is worth a thousand words... So ASCII art follows :-)
+
+[This depicts the current design in the kernel, and focusses only on the

+the locking involved. It outlines the notifications involved as well.
+But please note that here, only the call paths are illustrated, with the aim
+of describing where they take different paths and where they share code.
+What happens when regular CPU hotplug and Suspend-to-RAM race with each other
+is not depicted here.]
+
+On a high level, the suspend-resume cycle goes like this:
+
+|Freeze| -> |Disable nonboot| -> |Do suspend| -> |Enable nonboot| -> |Thaw |
+|tasks | | cpus | | | | cpus | |tasks|
+
+
+More details follow:

+
+* thaw tasks

+

+
+
+
+So, as can be seen from the two diagrams (the parts marked as "Common code"),
+regular CPU hotplug and the suspend code path converge at the _cpu_down() and
+_cpu_up() functions. They differ in the arguments passed to these functions,
+in that during regular CPU hotplug, 0 is passed for the 'tasks_frozen'
+argument. But during suspend, since the tasks are already frozen by the time
+the non-boot CPUs are offlined or onlined, the _cpu_*() functions are called
+with the 'tasks_frozen' argument set to 1.
+[See below for some known issues regarding this.]

+
+kernel/power/process.c : freeze_processes(), thaw_processes()

+kernel/cpu.c: cpu_[up|down](), _cpu_[up|down](), [disable|enable]_nonboot_cpus()
+
+
+
+II. What are the issues involved in CPU hotplug?
+ -------------------------------------------
+
+There are some interesting situations involving CPU hotplug and microcode
+update on the CPUs, as discussed below:
+
+[Please bear in mind that the kernel requests the microcode images from
+userspace, using the request_firmware() function defined in
+drivers/base/firmware_class.c]
+
+
+a. When all the CPUs are identical:
+
+ This is the most common situation and it is quite straightforward: we want
+ to apply the same microcode revision to each of the CPUs.
+ To give an example of x86, the collect_cpu_info() function defined in
+ arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c helps in discovering the type of the CPU
+ and thereby in applying the correct microcode revision to it.
+ But note that the kernel does not maintain a common microcode image for the
+ all CPUs, in order to handle case 'b' described below.
+
+
+b. When some of the CPUs are different than the rest:
+
+ In this case since we probably need to apply different microcode revisions
+ to different CPUs, the kernel maintains a copy of the correct microcode
+ image for each CPU (after appropriate CPU type/model discovery using
+ functions such as collect_cpu_info()).
+
+
+c. When a CPU is physically hot-unplugged and a new (and possibly different
+ type of) CPU is hot-plugged into the system:
+
+ In the current design of the kernel, whenever a CPU is taken offline during
+ a regular CPU hotplug operation, upon receiving the CPU_DEAD notification
+ (which is sent by the CPU hotplug code), the microcode update driver's
+ callback for that event reacts by freeing the kernel's copy of the
+ microcode image for that CPU.
+
+ Hence, when a new CPU is brought online, since the kernel finds that it
+ doesn't have the microcode image, it does the CPU type/model discovery
+ afresh and then requests the userspace for the appropriate microcode image
+ for that CPU, which is subsequently applied.
+
+ For example, in x86, the mc_cpu_callback() function (which is the microcode
+ update driver's callback registered for CPU hotplug events) calls
+ microcode_update_cpu() which would call microcode_init_cpu() in this case,
+ instead of microcode_resume_cpu() when it finds that the kernel doesn't
+ have a valid microcode image. This ensures that the CPU type/model
+ discovery is performed and the right microcode is applied to the CPU after
+ getting it from userspace.
+
+
+d. Handling microcode update during suspend/hibernate:
+
+ Strictly speaking, during a CPU hotplug operation which does not involve
+ physically removing or inserting CPUs, the CPUs are not actually powered
+ off during a CPU offline. They are just put to the lowest C-states possible.
+ Hence, in such a case, it is not really necessary to re-apply microcode
+ when the CPUs are brought back online, since they wouldn't have lost the
+ image during the CPU offline operation.
+
+ This is the usual scenario encountered during a resume after a suspend.
+ However, in the case of hibernation, since all the CPUs are completely
+ powered off, during restore it becomes necessary to apply the microcode
+ images to all the CPUs.
+
+ [Note that we don't expect someone to physically pull out nodes and insert
+ nodes with a different type of CPUs in-between a suspend-resume or a
+ hibernate/restore cycle.]
+
+ In the current design of the kernel however, during a CPU offline operation
+ as part of the suspend/hibernate cycle (the CPU_DEAD_FROZEN notification),
+ the existing copy of microcode image in the kernel is not freed up.
+ And during the CPU online operations (during resume/restore), since the
+ kernel finds that it already has copies of the microcode images for all the
+ CPUs, it just applies them to the CPUs, avoiding any re-discovery of CPU
+ type/model and the need for validating whether the microcode revisions are
+ right for the CPUs or not (due to the above assumption that physical CPU
+ hotplug will not be done in-between suspend/resume or hibernate/restore
+ cycles).
+
+
+III. Are there any known problems when regular CPU hotplug and suspend race
+ with each other?
+
+Yes, they are listed below:
+
+1. When invoking regular CPU hotplug, the 'tasks_frozen' argument passed to
+ the _cpu_down() and _cpu_up() functions is *always* 0.
+ This might not reflect the true current state of the system, since the
+ tasks could have been frozen by an out-of-band event such as a suspend
+ operation in progress. Hence, it will lead to wrong notifications being
+ sent during the cpu online/offline events (eg, CPU_ONLINE notification
+ instead of CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN) which in turn will lead to execution of
+ inappropriate code by the callbacks registered for such CPU hotplug events.
+
+2. If a regular CPU hotplug stress test happens to race with the freezer due
+ to a suspend operation in progress at the same time, then we could hit the
+ situation described below:
+
+ * A regular cpu online operation continues its journey from userspace
+ into the kernel, since the freezing has not yet begun.
+ * Then freezer gets to work and freezes userspace.
+ * If cpu online has not yet completed the microcode update stuff by now,
+ it will now start waiting on the frozen userspace in the
+ TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state, in order to get the microcode image.
+ * Now the freezer continues and tries to freeze the remaining tasks. But
+ due to this wait mentioned above, the freezer won't be able to freeze
+ the cpu online hotplug task and hence freezing of tasks fails.
+
+ As a result of this task freezing failure, the suspend operation gets
+ aborted.

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-This driver implement the ACPI Extensions For Display Adapters for
-integrated graphics devices on motherboard, as specified in ACPI 2.0
-Specification, Appendix B, allowing to perform some basic control like
-defining the video POST device, retrieving EDID information or to
-setup a video output, etc. Note that this is an ref. implementation
-only. It may or may not work for your integrated video device.
-
-Interfaces exposed to userland through /proc/acpi/video:
-
-VGA/info : display the supported video bus device capability like Video ROM, CRT/LCD/TV.
-VGA/ROM : Used to get a copy of the display devices' ROM data (up to 4k).
-VGA/POST_info : Used to determine what options are implemented.
-VGA/POST : Used to get/set POST device.
-VGA/DOS : Used to get/set ownership of output switching:
- Please refer ACPI spec B.4.1 _DOS
-VGA/CRT : CRT output
-VGA/LCD : LCD output
-VGA/TVO : TV output
-VGA/*/brightness : Used to get/set brightness of output device
