* cpufreq: fix NULL pointer deference at od_set_powersave_bias()Jacob Shin2013-06-251-4/+13
| | | | | | | | | When initializing the default powersave_bias value, we need to first make sure that this policy is running the ondemand governor.

* cpufreq: governors: Calculate iowait time only when necessaryStratos Karafotis2013-04-011-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we always calculate the CPU iowait time and add it to idle time. If we are in ondemand and we use io_is_busy, we re-calculate iowait time and we subtract it from idle time. With this patch iowait time is calculated only when necessary avoiding the double call to get_cpu_iowait_time_us. We use a parameter in function get_cpu_idle_time to distinguish when the iowait time will be added to idle time or not, without the need of keeping the prev_io_wait.

* cpufreq: governors: Avoid unnecessary per cpu timer interruptsViresh Kumar2013-04-011-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following patch has introduced per cpu timers or works for ondemand and conservative governors. commit 2abfa876f1117b0ab45f191fb1f82c41b1cbc8fe Author: Rickard Andersson <rickard.andersson@stericsson.com> Date: Thu Dec 27 14:55:38 2012 +0000 cpufreq: handle SW coordinated CPUs This causes additional unnecessary interrupts on all cpus when the load is recently evaluated by any other cpu. i.e. When load is recently evaluated by cpu x, we don't really need any other cpu to evaluate this load again for the next sampling_rate time. Some sort of code is present to avoid that but we are still getting timer interrupts for all cpus. A good way of avoiding this would be to modify delays for all cpus (policy->cpus) whenever any cpu has evaluated load. This patch does this change and some related code cleanup.

* cpufreq: ondemand: Don't update sample_type if we don't evaluate load againViresh Kumar2013-04-011-13/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because we have per cpu timer now, we check if we need to evaluate load again or not (In case it is recently evaluated). Here the 2nd cpu which got timer interrupt updates core_dbs_info->sample_type irrespective of load evaluation is required or not. Which is wrong as the first cpu is dependent on this variable set to an older value. Moreover it would be best in this case to schedule 2nd cpu's timer to sampling_rate instead of freq_lo or hi as that must be managed by the other cpu. In case the other cpu idles in between then also we wouldn't loose much power. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
* cpufreq: governor: Implement per policy instances of governorsViresh Kumar2013-04-011-106/+157
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, there can't be multiple instances of single governor_type. If we have a multi-package system, where we have multiple instances of struct policy (per package), we can't have multiple instances of same governor. i.e. We can't have multiple instances of ondemand governor for multiple packages. Governors directory in sysfs is created at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ governor-name/. Which again reflects that there can be only one instance of a governor_type in the system. This is a bottleneck for multicluster system, where we want different packages to use same governor type, but with different tunables. This patch uses the infrastructure provided by earlier patch and implements init/exit routines for ondemand and conservative governors.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug that occurred when we had load on a secondary CPU and the primary CPU was sleeping. Only one sampling timer was spawned and it was spawned as a deferred timer on the primary CPU, so when a secondary CPU had a change in load this was not detected by the cpufreq governor (both ondemand and conservative).

* cpufreq: governors: remove redundant codeViresh Kumar2012-11-151-473/+225
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Initially ondemand governor was written and then using its code conservative governor is written. It used a lot of code from ondemand governor, but copy of code was created instead of using the same routines from both governors. Which increased code redundancy, which is difficult to manage. This patch is an attempt to move common part of both the governors to cpufreq_governor.c file to come over above mentioned issues. This shouldn't change anything from functionality point of view.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sampling When a new sampling rate is shorter than the current one, (e.g., 1 sec --> 10 ms) regardless how short the new one is, the current ondemand mechanism wait for the previously set timer to be expired. For example, if the user has just expressed that the sampling rate should be 10 ms from now and the previous was 1000 ms, the new rate may become effective 999 ms later, which could be not acceptable for the user if the user has intended to speed up sampling because the system is expected to react to CPU load fluctuation quickly from __now__. In order to address this issue, we need to cancel the previously set timer (schedule_delayed_work) and reset the timer if resetting timer is expected to trigger the delayed_work ealier.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | update_ts_time_stat currently updates idle time even if we are in iowait loop at the moment. The only real users of the idle counter (via get_cpu_idle_time_us) are CPU governors and they expect to get cumulative time for both idle and iowait times. The value (idle_sleeptime) is also printed to userspace by print_cpu but it prints both idle and iowait times so the idle part is misleading. Let's clean this up and fix update_ts_time_stat to account both counters properly and update consumers of idle to consider iowait time as well. If we do this we might use get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us from other contexts as well and we will get expected values.

| | | | | | | | | | | | With cmwq, there's no reason for cpufreq drivers to use separate workqueues. Remove the dedicated workqueues from cpufreq_conservative and cpufreq_ondemand and use system_wq instead. The work items are already sync canceled on stop, so it's already guaranteed that no work is running on module exit.

* [CPUFREQ] add sampling_down_factor tunable to improve ondemand performanceDavid C Niemi2010-10-221-1/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds a new global tunable, sampling_down_factor. Set to 1 it makes no changes from existing behavior, but set to greater than 1 (e.g. 100) it acts as a multiplier for the scheduling interval for reevaluating load when the CPU is at its top speed due to high load. This improves performance by reducing the overhead of load evaluation and helping the CPU stay at its top speed when truly busy, rather than shifting back and forth in speed. This tunable has no effect on behavior at lower speeds/lower CPU loads. This patch is against 2.6.36-rc6. This patch should help solve kernel bug 19672 "ondemand is slow".

* | ondemand: Make the iowait-is-busy time a sysfs tunableArjan van de Ven2010-05-091-1/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pavel Machek pointed out that not all CPUs have an efficient idle at high frequency. Specifically, older Intel and various AMD cpus would get a higher powerusage when copying files from USB. Mike Chan pointed out that the same is true for various ARM chips as well. Thomas Renninger suggested to make this a sysfs tunable with a reasonable default. This patch adds a sysfs tunable for the new behavior, and uses a very simple function to determine a reasonable default, depending on the CPU vendor/type.

* | ondemand: Solve a big performance issue by counting IOWAIT time as busyArjan van de Ven2010-05-091-2/+28
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ondemand cpufreq governor uses CPU busy time (e.g. not-idle time) as a measure for scaling the CPU frequency up or down. If the CPU is busy, the CPU frequency scales up, if it's idle, the CPU frequency scales down. Effectively, it uses the CPU busy time as proxy variable for the more nebulous "how critical is performance right now" question. This algorithm falls flat on its face in the light of workloads where you're alternatingly disk and CPU bound, such as the ever popular "git grep", but also things like startup of programs and maildir using email clients... much to the chagarin of Andrew Morton. This patch changes the ondemand algorithm to count iowait time as busy, not idle, time. As shown in the breakdown cases above, iowait is performance critical often, and by counting iowait, the proxy variable becomes a more accurate representation of the "how critical is performance" question. The problem and fix are both verified with the "perf timechar" tool.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ondemand has only global variables for userspace tunings via sysfs. But they were exposed per CPU which wrongly implies to the user that his settings are applied per cpu. Also locking sysfs against concurrent access won't be necessary anymore after deprecation time. This means the ondemand config dir is moved: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/ondemand -> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand The old files will still exist, but reading or writing to them will result in one (printk_once) deprecation msg to syslog per file.
