[Xen-devel] [PATCH][Retry 1] 4/4: cpufreq/PowerNow! in Xen: PowerNow! changes



Enable cpufreq support in Xen for AMD Operton processors by:

1) Allowing the PowerNow! driver in dom0 to write to the PowerNow!
MSRs.
2) Adding the cpufreq notifier chain to time-xen.c in dom0.
On a frequency change, a platform hypercall is performed to
scale the frequency multiplier in the hypervisor.
3) Adding a platform hypercall to the hypervisor the scale
the frequency multiplier and reset the time stamps so that
next calibration remains reasonably correct.
4) Adding the cpufreq Xen option which pins the VCPUs to
the physical CPU cores.

Patch 1 covers the frequency scaling platform call in Xen.
Patch 2 allows MSR accesses from the PowerNow! driver.
Patch 3 covers the frequency scaling platform call in Linux.
Patch 4 covers the changes necessary to the PowerNow! driver
to make it correctly associate shared cores under Xen.

This code can be readily expanded to cover Intel or other
non-AMD processors by modifying xen/arch/x8/traps.c to
allow the appropriate MSR accesses.

Caveat: currently, this code does not support the in-kernel
ondemand cpufreq governor.  Dom0 must run a userspace 
daemon to monitor the utilization of the physical cpus
with the getcpuinfo sysctl hypercall.

Caveat 2: Even though the clock multipliers are being
scaled and recorded correctly in both dom0 and the
hypervisor, time errors appear immediately after a
frequency change.  They are not more likely when
the frequency is constant.
