It is reported that, with CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC=y cpu stays at the
lowest frequency even if the usage goes to 100%, neither ondemand
nor conservative governor works, however performance and
userspace work as expected. If set with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y,
everything goes well.
This problem is caused by improper calculation of the idle_time
when the load is extremely high(near 100%). Firstly, cpufreq_governor
uses get_cpu_idle_time to get the total idle time for specific cpu, then:
1.If the system is configured with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL, the idle time is
returned by ktime_get, which is always increasing, it's OK.
2.However, if the system is configured with CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC,
get_cpu_idle_time might not guarantee to be always increasing,
because it will leverage get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy to calculate the
idle_time, consider the following scenario:
At T1:
idle_tick_1 = total_tick_1 - user_tick_1
sample period(80ms)...
At T2: ( T2 = T1 + 80ms):
idle_tick_2 = total_tick_2 - user_tick_2
Currently the algorithm is using (idle_tick_2 - idle_tick_1) to
get the delta idle_time during the past sample period, however
it CAN NOT guarantee that idle_tick_2 >= idle_tick_1, especially
when cpu load is high.
(Yes, total_tick_2 >= total_tick_1, and user_tick_2 >= user_tick_1,
but how about idle_tick_2 and idle_tick_1? No guarantee.)
So governor might get a negative value of idle_time during the past
sample period, which might mislead the system that the idle time is
very big(converted to unsigned int), and the busy time is nearly zero,
which causes the governor to always choose the lowest cpufreq,
then cause this problem.
In theory there are two solutions:
1.The logic should not rely on the idle tick during every sample period,
but be based on the busy tick directly, as this is how 'top' is
implemented.
2.Or the logic must make sure that the idle_time is strictly increasing
during each sample period, then there would be no negative idle_time
anymore. This solution requires minimum modification to current code
and this patch uses method 2.

Notice that the boost_supported field in struct cpufreq_driver is
redundant, because the driver's ->set_boost callback may be left
unset if "boost" is not supported. Moreover, the only driver
populating the ->set_boost callback is acpi_cpufreq, so make it
avoid populating that callback if "boost" is not supported, rework
the core to check ->set_boost instead of boost_supported to
verify "boost" support and drop boost_supported which isn't

Pull RTC fixes from Alexandre Belloni:

A fix for a nasty hardware bug in rk808 and an initialization
reordering in da9063 to fix a possible crash"
* tag 'rtc-4.4-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/abelloni/linux:
rtc: da9063: fix access ordering error during RTC interrupt at system power on
rtc: rk808: Compensate for Rockchip calendar deviation on November 31st
This fix alters the ordering of the IRQ and device registrations in the RTC
driver probe function. This change will apply to the RTC driver that supports
both DA9063 and DA9062 PMICs.
A problem could occur with the existing RTC driver if:
A system is started from a cold boot using the PMIC RTC IRQ to initiate a
power on operation. For instance, if an RTC alarm is used to start a
platform from power off.
The existing driver IRQ is requested before the device has been properly
registered.
i.e.
ret = devm_request_threaded_irq()
comes before
rtc->rtc_dev = devm_rtc_device_register();
In this case, the interrupt can be called before the device has been
registered and the handler can be called immediately. The IRQ handler
da9063_alarm_event() contains the function call
rtc_update_irq(rtc->rtc_dev, 1, RTC_IRQF | RTC_AF);
which in turn tries to access the unavailable rtc->rtc_dev.
The fix is to reorder the functions inside the RTC probe. The IRQ is
requested after the RTC device resource has been registered so that
get_irq_byname is the last thing to happen.

In A.D. 1582 Pope Gregory XIII found that the existing Julian calendar
insufficiently represented reality, and changed the rules about
calculating leap years to account for this. Similarly, in A.D. 2013
Rockchip hardware engineers found that the new Gregorian calendar still
contained flaws, and that the month of November should be counted up to
31 days instead. Unfortunately it takes a long time for calendar changes
to gain widespread adoption, and just like more than 300 years went by
before the last Protestant nation implemented Greg's proposal, we will
have to wait a while until all religions and operating system kernels
acknowledge the inherent advantages of the Rockchip system. Until then
we need to translate dates read from (and written to) Rockchip hardware
back to the Gregorian format.
This patch works by defining Jan 1st, 2016 as the arbitrary anchor date
on which Rockchip and Gregorian calendars are in sync. From that we can
translate arbitrary later dates back and forth by counting the number
of November/December transitons since the anchor date to determine the
offset between the calendars. We choose this method (rather than trying
to regularly "correct" the date stored in hardware) since it's the only
way to ensure perfect time-keeping even if the system may be shut down
for an unknown number of years. The drawback is that other software
reading the same hardware (e.g. mainboard firmware) must use the same
translation convention (including the same anchor date) to be able to
read and write correct timestamps from/to the RTC.

Commit 8520f38099 ("USB: change hub initialization sleeps to
delayed_work") changed the hub_activate() routine to make part of it
run in a workqueue. However, the commit failed to take a reference to
the usb_hub structure or to lock the hub interface while doing so. As
a result, if a hub is plugged in and quickly unplugged before the work
routine can run, the routine will try to access memory that has been
deallocated. Or, if the hub is unplugged while the routine is
running, the memory may be deallocated while it is in active use.
This patch fixes the problem by taking a reference to the usb_hub at
the start of hub_activate() and releasing it at the end (when the work
is finished), and by locking the hub interface while the work routine
is running. It also adds a check at the start of the routine to see
if the hub has already been disconnected, in which nothing should be
done.
