pcc-cpufreq: don't load driver if get_freq fails during init.

2011-03-14T21:17:35Z

commit 1f858ef2fbabdc5e645644010a31a40c32e397c9 upstream. Return 0 on failure. This will cause the initialization of the driver to fail and prevent the driver from loading if the BIOS cannot handle the PCC interface command to "get frequency". Otherwise, the driver will load and display a very high value like "4294967274" (which is actually -EINVAL) for frequency: # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq 4294967274 Signed-off-by: Naga Chumbalkar Signed-off-by: Dave Jones Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[CPUFREQ]: x86, cpufreq: Mark longrun_get_policy with __cpuinit.

2010-10-22T15:44:47Z

This patch fixes the following warning. The function longrun_cpu_init() is marked with __cpuinit which calls longrun_get_policy() which is a __init function. So make longrun_get_policy with __cpuinit. WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/longrun.o(.cpuinit.text+0x4c5): Section mismatch in reference from the function longrun_cpu_init() to the function .init.text:longrun_get_policy() The function __cpuinit longrun_cpu_init() references a function __init longrun_get_policy(). If longrun_get_policy is only used by longrun_cpu_init then annotate longrun_get_policy with a matching annotation. Signed-off-by: Rakib Mullick Signed-off-by: Dave Jones

[CPUFREQ] arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq: Fix unsigned return type

2010-10-22T15:44:47Z

In each case, the function has an unsigned return type, but returns a negative constant to indicate an error condition. Each function is only called once. For nforce2_detect_chipset, the result is only compared to 0, and for longrun_determine_freqs, the result is stored in a variable of type (signed) int. Thus, for both functions, unsigned can be dropped from the return type. A sematic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @exists@ identifier f; constant C; @@ unsigned f(...) { <+... * return -C; ...+> } // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Dave Jones

acpi-cpufreq: fix a memleak when unloading driver
