[PATCH v3 0/3] cpufreq: Allow default governor on cmdline and fix locking issues

[Viresh Kumar]

Hi,

I have picked Quentin's series over my patch, modified both and tested.

V2->V3:
- default_governor is a string now and we don't set it on governor
  registration or unregistration anymore.
- Fixed locking issues in cpufreq_init_policy().

Original cover letter fro Quentin:

This series enables users of prebuilt kernels (e.g. distro kernels) to
specify their CPUfreq governor of choice using the kernel command line,
instead of having to wait for the system to fully boot to userspace to
switch using the sysfs interface. This is helpful for 2 reasons:
  1. users get to choose the governor that runs during the actual boot;
  2. it simplifies the userspace boot procedure a bit (one less thing to
     worry about).

To enable this, the first patch moves all governor init calls to
core_initcall, to make sure they are registered by the time the drivers
probe. This should be relatively low impact as registering a governor
is a simple procedure (it gets added to a llist), and all governors
already load at core_initcall anyway when they're set as the default
in Kconfig. This also allows to clean-up the governors' init/exit code,
and reduces boilerplate.

The second patch introduces the new command line parameter, inspired by
its cpuidle counterpart. More details can be found in the respective
patch headers.

Changes in v2:
 - added Viresh's ack to patch 01
 - moved the assignment of 'default_governor' in patch 02 to the governor
   registration path instead of the driver registration (Viresh)

[PATCH V3 2/3] cpufreq: Register governors at core_initcall

[Viresh Kumar]

From: Quentin Perret <qperret@google.com>

Currently, most CPUFreq governors are registered at core_initcall time
when used as default, and module_init otherwise. In preparation for
letting users specify the default governor on the kernel command line,
change all of them to use core_initcall unconditionally, as is already
the case for schedutil and performance. This will enable us to assume
builtin governors have been registered before the builtin CPUFreq
drivers probe.

And since all governors now have similar init/exit patterns, introduce
two new macros cpufreq_governor_{init,exit}() to factorize the code.
