Subject: cpufreq: Reduce cpufreq_update_util() overhead a bit
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=08f511fd41c3afe303eb9b41bff0570f7c1b6937;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

cpufreq: Reduce cpufreq_update_util() overhead a bit

Use the observation that cpufreq_update_util() is only called
by the scheduler with rq->lock held, so the callers of
cpufreq_set_update_util_data() can use synchronize_sched()
instead of synchronize_rcu() to wait for cpufreq_update_util()
to complete.  Moreover, if they are updated to do that,
rcu_read_(un)lock() calls in cpufreq_update_util() might be
replaced with rcu_read_(un)lock_sched(), respectively, but
those aren't really necessary, because the scheduler calls
that function from RCU-sched read-side critical sections
already.

In addition to that, if cpufreq_set_update_util_data() checks
the func field in the struct update_util_data before setting
the per-CPU pointer to it, the data->func check may be dropped
from cpufreq_update_util() as well.

Make the above changes to reduce the overhead from
cpufreq_update_util() in the scheduler paths invoking it
and to make the cleanup after removing its callbacks less
heavy-weight somewhat.
