2012-05-17sched: Remove stale power aware scheduling remnants and dysfunctional knobsPeter Zijlstra
It's been broken forever (i.e. it's not scheduling in a power aware fashion), as reported by Suresh and others sending patches, and nobody cares enough to fix it properly ... so remove it to make space free for something better. There's various problems with the code as it stands today, first and foremost the user interface which is bound to topology levels and has multiple values per level. This results in a state explosion which the administrator or distro needs to master and almost nobody does. Furthermore large configuration state spaces aren't good, it means the thing doesn't just work right because it's either under so many impossibe to meet constraints, or even if there's an achievable state workloads have to be aware of it precisely and can never meet it for dynamic workloads. So pushing this kind of decision to user-space was a bad idea even with a single knob - it's exponentially worse with knobs on every node of the topology. There is a proposal to replace the user interface with a single 3 state knob: sched_balance_policy := { performance, power, auto } where 'auto' would be the preferred default which looks at things like Battery/AC mode and possible cpufreq state or whatever the hw exposes to show us power use expectations - but there's been no progress on it in the past many months. Aside from that, the actual implementation of the various knobs is known to be broken. There have been sporadic attempts at fixing things but these always stop short of reaching a mergable state. Therefore this wholesale removal with the hopes of spurring people who care to come forward once again and work on a coherent replacement.

2012-05-01PM / Sleep: Add user space interface for manipulating wakeup sources, v3Rafael J. Wysocki
Android allows user space to manipulate wakelocks using two sysfs file located in /sys/power/, wake_lock and wake_unlock. Writing a wakelock name and optionally a timeout to the wake_lock file causes the wakelock whose name was written to be acquired (it is created before is necessary), optionally with the given timeout. Writing the name of a wakelock to wake_unlock causes that wakelock to be released. Implement an analogous interface for user space using wakeup sources. Add the /sys/power/wake_lock and /sys/power/wake_unlock files allowing user space to create, activate and deactivate wakeup sources, such that writing a name and optionally a timeout to wake_lock causes the wakeup source of that name to be activated, optionally with the given timeout. If that wakeup source doesn't exist, it will be created and then activated. Writing a name to wake_unlock causes the wakeup source of that name, if there is one, to be deactivated. Wakeup sources created with the help of wake_lock that haven't been used for more than 5 minutes are garbage collected and destroyed. Moreover, there can be only WL_NUMBER_LIMIT wakeup sources created with the help of wake_lock present at a time. The data type used to track wakeup sources created by user space is called "struct wakelock" to indicate the origins of this feature. This version of the patch includes an rbtree manipulation fix from John Stultz. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2012-05-01PM / Sleep: Add "prevent autosleep time" statistics to wakeup sourcesRafael J. Wysocki
Android uses one wakelock statistics that is only necessary for opportunistic sleep. Namely, the prevent_suspend_time field accumulates the total time the given wakelock has been locked while "automatic suspend" was enabled. Add an analogous field, prevent_sleep_time, to wakeup sources and make it behave in a similar way. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2012-05-01PM / Sleep: Implement opportunistic sleep, v2Rafael J. Wysocki
Introduce a mechanism by which the kernel can trigger global transitions to a sleep state chosen by user space if there are no active wakeup sources. It consists of a new sysfs attribute, /sys/power/autosleep, that can be written one of the strings returned by reads from /sys/power/state, an ordered workqueue and a work item carrying out the "suspend" operations. If a string representing the system's sleep state is written to /sys/power/autosleep, the work item triggering transitions to that state is queued up and it requeues itself after every execution until user space writes "off" to /sys/power/autosleep. That work item enables the detection of wakeup events using the functions already defined in drivers/base/power/wakeup.c (with one small modification) and calls either pm_suspend(), or hibernate() to put the system into a sleep state. If a wakeup event is reported while the transition is in progress, it will abort the transition and the "system suspend" work item will be queued up again. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2012-05-01PM / Sleep: Change wakeup source statistics to follow AndroidRafael J. Wysocki
Wakeup statistics used by Android are slightly different from what we have in wakeup sources at the moment and there aren't any known users of those statistics other than Android, so modify them to make it easier for Android to switch to wakeup sources. This removes the struct wakeup_source's hit_cout field, which is very rough and therefore not very useful, and adds two new fields, wakeup_count and expire_count. The first one tracks how many times the wakeup source is activated with events_check_enabled set (which roughly corresponds to the situations when a system power transition to a sleep state is in progress and would be aborted by this wakeup source if it were the only active one at that time) and the second one is the number of times the wakeup source has been activated with a timeout that expired. Additionally, the last_time field is now updated when the wakeup source is deactivated too (previously it was only updated during the wakeup source's activation), which seems to be what Android does with the analogous counter for wakelocks.

There could be cables that t recannot be attaches simulatenously. Extcon device drivers may express such information via mutually_exclusive in struct extcon_dev. For example, for an extcon device with 16 cables (bits 0 to 15 are available), if mutually_exclusive = { 0x7, 0xC0, 0x81, 0 }, then, the following attachments are prohibitted. {0, 1} {0, 2} {1, 2} {6, 7} {0, 7} and every attachment set that are superset of one of the above.

One switch device (e.g., MUIC(MAX8997, MAX77686, ...), and some 30-pin devices) may have multiple cables attached. For example, one 30-pin port may inhabit a USB cable, an HDMI cable, and a mic. Thus, one switch device requires multiple state bits each representing a type of cable. For such purpose, we use the 32bit state variable; thus, up to 32 different type of cables may be defined for a switch device. The list of possible cables is defined by the array of cable names in the switch_dev struct given to the class.
