2013-01-03cpuidle: fix lock contention in the idle pathDaniel Lezcano
Commit bf4d1b5 (cpuidle: support multiple drivers) introduced locking in cpuidle_get_cpu_driver(), which is used in the idle_call() function. This leads to a contention problem with a large number of CPUs, because they all try to run the idle routine at the same time. The lock can be safely removed because of how is used the cpuidle API. Namely, cpuidle_register_driver() is called first, but the cpuidle idle function is not entered before cpuidle_register_device() is called, because the cpuidle device is not enabled then. Moreover, cpuidle_unregister_driver(), which would reset the driver value to NULL, is not called before cpuidle_unregister_device(). All of the cpuidle drivers use the API in the same way. In general, a cleanup around the lock is necessary and a proper refcounting mechanism should be used to ensure the consistency in the API (for example, cpuidle_unregister_driver() should fail if the driver's refcount is not 0). However, these modifications will require some code reorganization and rewrite which will be too intrusive for a fix. For this reason, fix the contention problem introduced by commit bf4d1b5 by simply removing the locking from cpuidle_get_cpu_driver(), which restores the original behavior of that routine.

Pull ARM SoC updates from Olof Johansson: "This contains the bulk of new SoC development for this merge window. Two new platforms have been added, the sunxi platforms (Allwinner A1x SoCs) by Maxime Ripard, and a generic Broadcom platform for a new series of ARMv7 platforms from them, where the hope is that we can keep the platform code generic enough to have them all share one mach directory. The new Broadcom platform is contributed by Christian Daudt. Highbank has grown support for Calxeda's next generation of hardware, ECX-2000. clps711x has seen a lot of cleanup from Alexander Shiyan, and he's also taken on maintainership of the platform. Beyond this there has been a bunch of work from a number of people on converting more platforms to IRQ domains, pinctrl conversion, cleanup and general feature enablement across most of the active platforms."

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: move driver checking within the lock sectionDaniel Lezcano
The code is racy and the check with cpuidle_curr_driver should be done under the lock. I don't find a path in the different drivers where that could happen because the arch specific drivers are written in such way it is not possible to register a driver while it is unregistered, except maybe in a very improbable case when "intel_idle" and "processor_idle" are competing. One could unregister a driver, while the other one is registering.

2012-11-15cpuidle: Get typical recent sleep intervalYouquan Song
The function detect_repeating_patterns was not very useful for workloads with alternating long and short pauses, for example virtual machines handling network requests for each other (say a web and database server). Instead, try to find a recent sleep interval that is somewhere between the median and the mode sleep time, by discarding outliers to the up side and recalculating the average and standard deviation until that is no longer required. This should do something sane with a sleep interval series like: 200 180 210 10000 30 1000 170 200 The current code would simply discard such a series, while the new code will guess a typical sleep interval just shy of 200.

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.

2012-11-15cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure in general caseYouquan Song
The prediction for future is difficult and when the cpuidle governor prediction fails and govenor possibly choose the shallower C-state than it should. How to quickly notice and find the failure becomes important for power saving. The patch extends to general case that prediction logic get a small predicted residency, so it choose a shallow C-state though the expected residency is large . Once the prediction will be fail, the CPU will keep staying at shallow C-state for a long time. Acutally, the CPU has change enter into deep C-state. So when the expected residency is long enough but governor choose a shallow C-state, an timer will be added in order to monitor if the prediction failure. When C-state is waken up prior to the adding timer, the timer will be cancelled initiatively. When the timer is triggered and menu governor will quickly notice prediction failure and re-evaluates deeper C-states possibility.

2012-11-15cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for repeat modeYouquan Song
The prediction for future is difficult and when the cpuidle governor prediction fails and govenor possibly choose the shallower C-state than it should. How to quickly notice and find the failure becomes important for power saving. cpuidle menu governor has a method to predict the repeat pattern if there are 8 C-states residency which are continuous and the same or very close, so it will predict the next C-states residency will keep same residency time. There is a real case that turbostat utility (tools/power/x86/turbostat) at kernel 3.3 or early. turbostat utility will read 10 registers one by one at Sandybridge, so it will generate 10 IPIs to wake up idle CPUs. So cpuidle menu governor will predict it is repeat mode and there is another IPI wake up idle CPU soon, so it keeps idle CPU stay at C1 state even though CPU is totally idle. However, in the turbostat, following 10 registers reading is sleep 5 seconds by default, so the idle CPU will keep at C1 for a long time though it is idle until break event occurs. In a idle Sandybridge system, run "./turbostat -v", we will notice that deep C-state dangles between "70% ~ 99%". After patched the kernel, we will notice deep C-state stays at >99.98%. In the patch, a timer is added when menu governor detects a repeat mode and choose a shallow C-state. The timer is set to a time out value that greater than predicted time, and we conclude repeat mode prediction failure if timer is triggered. When repeat mode happens as expected, the timer is not triggered and CPU waken up from C-states and it will cancel the timer initiatively. When repeat mode does not happen, the timer will be time out and menu governor will quickly notice that the repeat mode prediction fails and then re-evaluates deeper C-states possibility. Below is another case which will clearly show the patch much benefit: #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <signal.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <time.h> #include <pthread.h> volatile int * shutdown; volatile long * count; int delay = 20; int loop = 8; void usage(void) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: idle_predict [options]\n" " --help -h Print this help\n" " --thread -n Thread number\n" " --loop -l Loop times in shallow Cstate\n" " --delay -t Sleep time (uS)in shallow Cstate\n"); } void *simple_loop() { int idle_num = 1; while (!(*shutdown)) { *count = *count + 1; if (idle_num % loop) usleep(delay); else { /* sleep 1 second */ usleep(1000000); idle_num = 0; } idle_num++; } } static void sighand(int sig) { *shutdown = 1; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { sigset_t sigset; int signum = SIGALRM; int i, c, er = 0, thread_num = 8; pthread_t pt[1024]; static char optstr[] = "n:l:t:h:"; while ((c = getopt(argc, argv, optstr)) != EOF) switch (c) { case 'n': thread_num = atoi(optarg); break; case 'l': loop = atoi(optarg); break; case 't': delay = atoi(optarg); break; case 'h': default: usage(); exit(1); } printf("thread=%d,loop=%d,delay=%d\n",thread_num,loop,delay); count = malloc(sizeof(long)); shutdown = malloc(sizeof(int)); *count = 0; *shutdown = 0; sigemptyset(&sigset); sigaddset(&sigset, signum); sigprocmask (SIG_BLOCK, &sigset, NULL); signal(SIGINT, sighand); signal(SIGTERM, sighand); for(i = 0; i < thread_num ; i++) pthread_create(&pt[i], NULL, simple_loop, NULL); for (i = 0; i < thread_num; i++) pthread_join(pt[i], NULL); exit(0); } Get powertop V2 from git://github.com/fenrus75/powertop, build powertop. After build the above test application, then run it. Test plaform can be Intel Sandybridge or other recent platforms. #./idle_predict -l 10 & #./powertop We will find that deep C-state will dangle between 40%~100% and much time spent on C1 state. It is because menu governor wrongly predict that repeat mode is kept, so it will choose the C1 shallow C-state even though it has chance to sleep 1 second in deep C-state. While after patched the kernel, we find that deep C-state will keep >99.6%. Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Youquan Song <youquan.song@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2012-09-04Honor state disabling in the cpuidle ladder governorCarsten Emde
There are two cpuidle governors ladder and menu. While the ladder governor is always available, if CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is selected, the menu governor additionally requires CONFIG_NO_HZ. A particular C state can be disabled by writing to the sysfs file /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/cpuidle/stateN/disable, but this mechanism is only implemented in the menu governor. Thus, in a system where CONFIG_NO_HZ is not selected, the ladder governor becomes default and always will walk through all sleep states - irrespective of whether the C state was disabled via sysfs or not. The only way to select a specific C state was to write the related latency to /dev/cpu_dma_latency and keep the file open as long as this setting was required - not very practical and not suitable for setting a single core in an SMP system. With this patch, the ladder governor only will promote to the next C state, if it has not been disabled, and it will demote, if the current C state was disabled. Note that the patch does not make the setting of the sysfs variable "disable" coherent, i.e. if one is disabling a light state, then all deeper states are disabled as well, but the "disable" variable does not reflect it. Likewise, if one enables a deep state but a lighter state still is disabled, then this has no effect. A related section has been added to the documentation.

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.

commit 9a6558371bcd01c2973b7638181db4ccc34eab4f Author: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Date: Sun Nov 9 12:45:10 2008 -0800 regression: disable timer peek-ahead for 2.6.28 It's showing up as regressions; disabling it very likely just papers over an underlying issue, but time is running out for 2.6.28, lets get back to this for 2.6.29 Many years has passed since 2008, so it seems ok to remove whole `#if 0' block.

2012-04-06cpuidle: Fix panic in CPU off-lining with no idle driverToshi Kani
Fix a NULL pointer dereference panic in cpuidle_play_dead() during CPU off-lining when no cpuidle driver is registered. A cpuidle driver may be registered at boot-time based on CPU type. This patch allows an off-lined CPU to enter HLT-based idle in this condition. Signed-off-by: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com> Cc: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Srivatsa S.

2012-03-30idle, x86: Allow off-lined CPU to enter deeper C statesBoris Ostrovsky
Currently when a CPU is off-lined it enters either MWAIT-based idle or, if MWAIT is not desired or supported, HLT-based idle (which places the processor in C1 state). This patch allows processors without MWAIT support to stay in states deeper than C1. Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

That will prevent to add it manually in the cpuidle driver initialization routine and will save us from duplicate line of code.

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.
