Subject: [PATCH v4] ACPI: cpufreq: use a platform device to load ACPI PPC and PCC drivers
Date:   Thu, 16 Mar 2023 16:10:36 +0100

The acpi-cpufreq and pcc-cpufreq drivers are loaded through per-CPU
module aliases. This can result in many unnecessary load requests during
boot if another frequency module, such as intel_pstate, is already
active. For instance, on a typical Intel system, one can observe that
udev makes 2x#CPUs attempts to insert acpi_cpufreq and 1x#CPUs attempts
for pcc_cpufreq. All these tries then fail if another frequency module
is already registered.

In the worst case, without the recent fix in commit 0254127ab977e
("module: Don't wait for GOING modules"), these module loads occupied
all udev workers and had their initialization attempts ran sequentially.
Resolving all these loads then on some larger machines took too long,
prevented other hardware from getting its drivers initialized and
resulted in a failed boot. Discussion over these duplicate module
requests ended up with a conclusion that only one load attempt should be
ideally made.

Both acpi-cpufreq and pcc-cpufreq drivers use platform firmware controls
which are defined by ACPI. It is possible to treat these interfaces as
platform devices.

The patch extends the ACPI parsing logic to check the ACPI namespace if
the PPC or PCC interface is present and creates a virtual platform
device for each if it is available. The acpi-cpufreq and pcc-cpufreq
drivers are then updated to map to these devices.

This allows to try loading acpi-cpufreq and pcc-cpufreq only once during
boot and only if a given interface is available in the firmware.

Changes since v3 [1]:
- Mark acpi_pcc_cpufreq_init() as static.

Changes since v2 [2]:
- Remove mention about all CPUs needing same clocking parameters from the commit
  message.
- Integrate the new logic to detect presence of PPC and PCC with the current
  ACPI processor code which avoids an additional scan of the ACPI namespace.

Changes since v1 [3]:
- Describe the worst case scenario without the recent fix 0254127ab977e
  ("module: Don't wait for GOING modules") and refer to its discussion
  in the commit message.
- Consider ACPI processor device objects when looking for _PCT, in
  addition to processor objects.
- Add a few more comments explaining the code.
