2013-01-03cpuidle: Fix finding state with min power_usageSivaram Nair
Since cpuidle_state.power_usage is a signed value, use INT_MAX (instead of -1) to init the local copies so that functions that tries to find cpuidle states with minimum power usage works correctly even if they use non-negative values.

2012-11-27cpuidle: Measure idle state durations with monotonic clockJulius Werner
Many cpuidle drivers measure their time spent in an idle state by reading the wallclock time before and after idling and calculating the difference. This leads to erroneous results when the wallclock time gets updated by another processor in the meantime, adding that clock adjustment to the idle state's time counter. If the clock adjustment was negative, the result is even worse due to an erroneous cast from int to unsigned long long of the last_residency variable. The negative 32 bit integer will zero-extend and result in a forward time jump of roughly four billion milliseconds or 1.3 hours on the idle state residency counter. This patch changes all affected cpuidle drivers to either use the monotonic clock for their measurements or make use of the generic time measurement wrapper in cpuidle.c, which was already working correctly. Some superfluous CLIs/STIs in the ACPI code are removed (interrupts should always already be disabled before entering the idle function, and not get reenabled until the generic wrapper has performed its second measurement). It also removes the erroneous cast, making sure that negative residency values are applied correctly even though they should not appear anymore.

2012-11-15cpuidle: support multiple driversDaniel Lezcano
With the tegra3 and the big.LITTLE [1] new architectures, several cpus with different characteristics (latencies and states) can co-exists on the system. The cpuidle framework has the limitation of handling only identical cpus. This patch removes this limitation by introducing the multiple driver support for cpuidle. This option is configurable at compile time and should be enabled for the architectures mentioned above. So there is no impact for the other platforms if the option is disabled. The option defaults to 'n'. Note the multiple drivers support is also compatible with the existing drivers, even if just one driver is needed, all the cpu will be tied to this driver using an extra small chunk of processor memory. The multiple driver support use a per-cpu driver pointer instead of a global variable and the accessor to this variable are done from a cpu context. In order to keep the compatibility with the existing drivers, the function 'cpuidle_register_driver' and 'cpuidle_unregister_driver' will register the specified driver for all the cpus. The semantic for the output of /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_driver remains the same except the driver name will be related to the current cpu. The /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]/cpuidle/driver/name files are added allowing to read the per cpu driver name.

2012-11-15cpuidle: Set residency to 0 if target Cstate not enterYouquan Song
When cpuidle governor choose a C-state to enter for idle CPU, but it notice that there is tasks request to be executed. So the idle CPU will not really enter the target C-state and go to run task. In this situation, it will use the residency of previous really entered target C-states. Obviously, it is not reasonable. So, this patch fix it by set the target C-state residency to 0.

2012-07-10PM / cpuidle: System resume hang fix with cpuidlePreeti U Murthy
On certain bios, resume hangs if cpus are allowed to enter idle states during suspend [1]. This was fixed in apci idle driver [2].But intel_idle driver does not have this fix. Thus instead of replicating the fix in both the idle drivers, or in more platform specific idle drivers if needed, the more general cpuidle infrastructure could handle this. A suspend callback in cpuidle_driver could handle this fix. But a cpuidle_driver provides only basic functionalities like platform idle state detection capability and mechanisms to support entry and exit into CPU idle states. All other cpuidle functions are found in the cpuidle generic infrastructure for good reason that all cpuidle drivers, irrepective of their platforms will support these functions. One option therefore would be to register a suspend callback in cpuidle which handles this fix. This could be called through a PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE notifier. But this is too generic a notfier for a driver to handle. Also, ideally the job of cpuidle is not to handle side effects of suspend. It should expose the interfaces which "handle cpuidle 'during' suspend" or any other operation, which the subsystems call during that respective operation. The fix demands that during suspend, no cpus should be allowed to enter deep C-states. The interface cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler() in cpuidle ensures that. Not just that it also kicks all the cpus which are already in idle out of their idle states which was being done during cpu hotplug through a CPU_DYING_FROZEN callbacks. Now the question arises about when during suspend should cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler() be called. Since we are dealing with drivers it seems best to call this function during dpm_suspend(). Delaying the call till dpm_suspend_noirq() does no harm, as long as it is before cpu_hotplug_begin() to avoid race conditions with cpu hotpulg operations. In dpm_suspend_noirq(), it would be wise to place this call before suspend_device_irqs() to avoid ugly interactions with the same. Ananlogously, during resume.

2012-07-03PM / Domains: Add preliminary support for cpuidle, v2Rafael J. Wysocki
On some systems there are CPU cores located in the same power domains as I/O devices. Then, power can only be removed from the domain if all I/O devices in it are not in use and the CPU core is idle. Add preliminary support for that to the generic PM domains framework. First, the platform is expected to provide a cpuidle driver with one extra state designated for use with the generic PM domains code. This state should be initially disabled and its exit_latency value should be set to whatever time is needed to bring up the CPU core itself after restoring power to it, not including the domain's power on latency. Its .enter() callback should point to a procedure that will remove power from the domain containing the CPU core at the end of the CPU power transition. The remaining characteristics of the extra cpuidle state, referred to as the "domain" cpuidle state below, (e.g. power usage, target residency) should be populated in accordance with the properties of the hardware. Next, the platform should execute genpd_attach_cpuidle() on the PM domain containing the CPU core. That will cause the generic PM domains framework to treat that domain in a special way such that: * When all devices in the domain have been suspended and it is about to be turned off, the states of the devices will be saved, but power will not be removed from the domain. Instead, the "domain" cpuidle state will be enabled so that power can be removed from the domain when the CPU core is idle and the state has been chosen as the target by the cpuidle governor. * When the first I/O device in the domain is resumed and __pm_genpd_poweron(() is called for the first time after power has been removed from the domain, the "domain" cpuidle state will be disabled to avoid subsequent surprise power removals via cpuidle. The effective exit_latency value of the "domain" cpuidle state depends on the time needed to bring up the CPU core itself after restoring power to it as well as on the power on latency of the domain containing the CPU core. Thus the "domain" cpuidle state's exit_latency has to be recomputed every time the domain's power on latency is updated, which may happen every time power is restored to the domain, if the measured power on latency is greater than the latency stored in the corresponding generic_pm_domain structure.

2012-06-02cpuidle: add support for states that affect multiple cpusColin Cross
On some ARM SMP SoCs (OMAP4460, Tegra 2, and probably more), the cpus cannot be independently powered down, either due to sequencing restrictions (on Tegra 2, cpu 0 must be the last to power down), or due to HW bugs (on OMAP4460, a cpu powering up will corrupt the gic state unless the other cpu runs a work around). Each cpu has a power state that it can enter without coordinating with the other cpu (usually Wait For Interrupt, or WFI), and one or more "coupled" power states that affect blocks shared between the cpus (L2 cache, interrupt controller, and sometimes the whole SoC). Entering a coupled power state must be tightly controlled on both cpus. The easiest solution to implementing coupled cpu power states is to hotplug all but one cpu whenever possible, usually using a cpufreq governor that looks at cpu load to determine when to enable the secondary cpus. This causes problems, as hotplug is an expensive operation, so the number of hotplug transitions must be minimized, leading to very slow response to loads, often on the order of seconds. This file implements an alternative solution, where each cpu will wait in the WFI state until all cpus are ready to enter a coupled state, at which point the coupled state function will be called on all cpus at approximately the same time. Once all cpus are ready to enter idle, they are woken by an smp cross call. At this point, there is a chance that one of the cpus will find work to do, and choose not to enter idle. A final pass is needed to guarantee that all cpus will call the power state enter function at the same time. During this pass, each cpu will increment the ready counter, and continue once the ready counter matches the number of online coupled cpus. If any cpu exits idle, the other cpus will decrement their counter and retry. To use coupled cpuidle states, a cpuidle driver must: Set struct cpuidle_device.coupled_cpus to the mask of all coupled cpus, usually the same as cpu_possible_mask if all cpus are part of the same cluster. The coupled_cpus mask must be set in the struct cpuidle_device for each cpu. Set struct cpuidle_device.safe_state to a state that is not a coupled state. This is usually WFI. Set CPUIDLE_FLAG_COUPLED in struct cpuidle_state.flags for each state that affects multiple cpus. Provide a struct cpuidle_state.enter function for each state that affects multiple cpus. This function is guaranteed to be called on all cpus at approximately the same time. The driver should ensure that the cpus all abort together if any cpu tries to abort once the function is called. update1: cpuidle: coupled: fix count of online cpus online_count was never incremented on boot, and was also counting cpus that were not part of the coupled set. Fix both issues by introducting a new function that counts online coupled cpus, and call it from register as well as the hotplug notifier. update2: cpuidle: coupled: fix decrementing ready count cpuidle_coupled_set_not_ready sometimes refuses to decrement the ready count in order to prevent a race condition. This makes it unsuitable for use when finished with idle. Add a new function cpuidle_coupled_set_done that decrements both the ready count and waiting count, and call it after idle is complete.

2012-03-30cpuidle: add a sysfs entry to disable specific C state for debug purpose.ShuoX Liu
Some C states of new CPU might be not good. One reason is BIOS might configure them incorrectly. To help developers root cause it quickly, the patch adds a new sysfs entry, so developers could disable specific C state manually. In addition, C state might have much impact on performance tuning, as it takes much time to enter/exit C states, which might delay interrupt processing. With the new debug option, developers could check if a deep C state could impact performance and how much impact it could cause. Also add this option in Documentation/cpuidle/sysfs.txt.

2011-11-06cpuidle: Single/Global registration of idle statesDeepthi Dharwar
This patch makes the cpuidle_states structure global (single copy) instead of per-cpu. The statistics needed on per-cpu basis by the governor are kept per-cpu. This simplifies the cpuidle subsystem as state registration is done by single cpu only. Having single copy of cpuidle_states saves memory. Rare case of asymmetric C-states can be handled within the cpuidle driver and architectures such as POWER do not have asymmetric C-states. Having single/global registration of all the idle states, dynamic C-state transitions on x86 are handled by the boot cpu. Here, the boot cpu would disable all the devices, re-populate the states and later enable all the devices, irrespective of the cpu that would receive the notification first.

2011-11-06cpuidle: Move dev->last_residency update to driver enter routine; remove ↵Deepthi Dharwar
dev->last_state Cpuidle governor only suggests the state to enter using the governor->select() interface, but allows the low level driver to override the recommended state. The actual entered state may be different because of software or hardware demotion. Software demotion is done by the back-end cpuidle driver and can be accounted correctly. Current cpuidle code uses last_state field to capture the actual state entered and based on that updates the statistics for the state entered. Ideally the driver enter routine should update the counters, and it should return the state actually entered rather than the time spent there. The generic cpuidle code should simply handle where the counters live in the sysfs namespace, not updating the counters.

2011-01-12cpuidle/x86/perf: fix power:cpu_idle double end events and throw cpu_idle ↵Thomas Renninger
events from the cpuidle layer Currently intel_idle and acpi_idle driver show double cpu_idle "exit idle" events -> this patch fixes it and makes cpu_idle events throwing less complex. It also introduces cpu_idle events for all architectures which use the cpuidle subsystem, namely: - arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c - arch/arm/mach-davinci/cpuidle.c - arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/cpuidle.c - arch/arm/mach-omap2/cpuidle34xx.c - arch/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c (for all cases, not only mwait) - arch/x86/kernel/process.c (did throw events before, but was a mess) - drivers/idle/intel_idle.c (did throw events before) Convention should be: Fire cpu_idle events inside the current pm_idle function (not somewhere down the the callee tree) to keep things easy. Current possible pm_idle functions in X86: c1e_idle, poll_idle, cpuidle_idle_call, mwait_idle, default_idle -> this is really easy is now. This affects userspace: The type field of the cpu_idle power event can now direclty get mapped to: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle/stateX/{name,desc,usage,time,...} instead of throwing very CPU/mwait specific values. This change is not visible for the intel_idle driver. For the acpi_idle driver it should only be visible if the vendor misses out C-states in his BIOS. Another (perf timechart) patch reads out cpuidle info of cpu_idle events from: /sys/.../cpuidle/stateX/*, then the cpuidle events are mapped to the correct C-/cpuidle state again, even if e.g. vendors miss out C-states in their BIOS and for example only export C1 and C3. -> everything is fine.

2010-08-09cpuidle: extend cpuidle and menu governor to handle dynamic statesAi Li
On some SoC chips, HW resources may be in use during any particular idle period. As a consequence, the cpuidle states that the SoC is safe to enter can change from idle period to idle period. In addition, the latency and threshold of each cpuidle state can vary, depending on the operating condition when the CPU becomes idle, e.g. the current cpu frequency, the current state of the HW blocks, etc. cpuidle core and the menu governor, in the current form, are geared towards cpuidle states that are static, i.e. the availabiltiy of the states, their latencies, their thresholds are non-changing during run time. cpuidle does not provide any hook that cpuidle drivers can use to adjust those values on the fly for the current idle period before the menu governor selects the target cpuidle state. This patch extends cpuidle core and the menu governor to handle states that are dynamic. There are three additions in the patch and the patch maintains backwards-compatibility with existing cpuidle drivers. 1) add prepare() to struct cpuidle_device. A cpuidle driver can hook into the callback and cpuidle will call prepare() before calling the governor's select function. The callback gives the cpuidle driver a chance to update the dynamic information of the cpuidle states for the current idle period, e.g. state availability, latencies, thresholds, power values, etc. 2) add CPUIDLE_FLAG_IGNORE as one of the state flags. In the prepare() function, a cpuidle driver can set/clear the flag to indicate to the menu governor whether a cpuidle state should be ignored, i.e. not available, during the current idle period. 3) add power_specified bit to struct cpuidle_device. The menu governor currently assumes that the cpuidle states are arranged in the order of increasing latency, threshold, and power savings. This is true or can be made true for static states. Once the state parameters are dynamic, the latencies, thresholds, and power savings for the cpuidle states can increase or decrease by different amounts from idle period to idle period. So the assumption of increasing latency, threshold, and power savings from Cn to C(n+1) can no longer be guaranteed. It can be straightforward to calculate the power consumption of each available state and to specify it in power_usage for the idle period. Using the power_usage fields, the menu governor then selects the state that has the lowest power consumption and that still satisfies all other critieria. The power_specified bit defaults to 0. For existing cpuidle drivers, cpuidle detects that power_specified is 0 and fills in a dummy set of power_usage values.

This will support power frequency tracing by all cpufreq drivers trace_power_frequency did not trace frequency changes correctly when the userspace governor was used or when CPU cores' frequency depend on each other. -> Moving this into the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and pass the cpu which gets switched automatically fixes this. Robert Schoene provided some important fixes on top of my initial quick shot version which are integrated in this patch: - Forgot some changes in power_end trace (TP_printk/variable names) - Variable dummy in power_end must now be cpu_id - Use static 64 bit variable instead of unsigned int for cpu_id Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> CC: davej@redhat.com CC: arjan@infradead.org CC: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org CC: robert.schoene@tu-dresden.de Tested-by: robert.schoene@tu-dresden.de Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
2010-05-27cpuidle: make cpuidle_curr_driver staticLen Brown
cpuidle_register_driver() sets cpuidle_curr_driver cpuidle_unregister_driver() clears cpuidle_curr_driver We should't expose cpuidle_curr_driver to potential modification except via these interfaces. So make it static and create cpuidle_get_driver() to observe it. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
