cpuidle, arm64: Fix the ARM64 cpuidle logic The recent cpuidle changes started triggering RCU splats on Juno development boards: | ============================= | WARNING: suspicious RCU usage | ----------------------------- | include/trace/events/ipi.h:19 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! Fix cpuidle on ARM64: - ... by introducing a new 'is_rcu' flag to the cpuidle helpers & make ARM64 use it, as ARM64 wants to keep RCU active longer and wants to do the ct_cpuidle_enter()/exit() dance itself. - Also update the PSCI driver accordingly. - This also removes the last known RCU_NONIDLE() user as a bonus.

cpuidle: Allow idle injection to apply exit latency limit In some cases it may be useful to specify an exit latency limit for the idle state to be used during CPU idle time injection. Instead of duplicating the information in struct cpuidle_device or propagating the latency limit in the call stack, replace the use_deepest_state field with forced_latency_limit_ns to represent that limit, so that the deepest idle state with exit latency within that limit is forced (i.e. no governors) when it is set. A zero exit latency limit for forced idle means to use governors in the usual way (analogous to use_deepest_state equal to "false" before this change). Additionally, add play_idle_precise() taking two arguments, the duration of forced idle and the idle state exit latency limit, both in nanoseconds, and redefine play_idle() as a wrapper around that new function. This change is preparatory, no functional impact is expected. Suggested-by: Rafael J.

cpuidle: Use nanoseconds as the unit of time Currently, the cpuidle subsystem uses microseconds as the unit of time which (among other things) causes the idle loop to incur some integer division overhead for no clear benefit. In order to allow cpuidle to measure time in nanoseconds, add two new fields, exit_latency_ns and target_residency_ns, to represent the exit latency and target residency of an idle state in nanoseconds, respectively, to struct cpuidle_state and initialize them with the help of the corresponding values in microseconds provided by drivers. Additionally, change cpuidle_governor_latency_req() to return the idle state exit latency constraint in nanoseconds. Also meeasure idle state residency (last_residency_ns in struct cpuidle_device and time_ns in struct cpuidle_driver) in nanoseconds and update the cpuidle core and governors accordingly. However, the menu governor still computes typical intervals in microseconds to avoid integer overflows. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

cpuidle: Consolidate disabled state checks There are two reasons why CPU idle states may be disabled: either because the driver has disabled them or because they have been disabled by user space via sysfs. In the former case, the state's "disabled" flag is set once during the initialization of the driver and it is never cleared later (it is read-only effectively). In the latter case, the "disable" field of the given state's cpuidle_state_usage struct is set and it may be changed via sysfs. Thus checking whether or not an idle state has been disabled involves reading these two flags every time. In order to avoid the additional check of the state's "disabled" flag (which is effectively read-only anyway), use the value of it at the init time to set a (new) flag in the "disable" field of that state's cpuidle_state_usage structure and use the sysfs interface to manipulate another (new) flag in it. This way the state is disabled whenever the "disable" field of its cpuidle_state_usage structure is nonzero, whatever the reason, and it is the only place to look into to check whether or not the state has been disabled.

cpuidle: allow governor switch on cpuidle_register_driver() The recently introduced haltpoll driver is largely only useful with haltpoll governor. To allow drivers to associate with a particular idle behaviour, add a @governor property to 'struct cpuidle_driver' and thus allow a cpuidle driver to switch to a *preferred* governor on idle driver registration. We save the previous governor, and when an idle driver is unregistered we switch back to that. The @governor can be overridden by cpuidle.governor= boot param or alternatively be ignored if the governor doesn't exist.

PSCI: cpuidle: Refactor CPU suspend power_state parameter handling Current PSCI code handles idle state entry through the psci_cpu_suspend_enter() API, that takes an idle state index as a parameter and convert the index into a previously initialized power_state parameter before calling the PSCI.CPU_SUSPEND() with it. This is unwieldly, since it forces the PSCI firmware layer to keep track of power_state parameter for every idle state so that the index->power_state conversion can be made in the PSCI firmware layer instead of the CPUidle driver implementations. Move the power_state handling out of drivers/firmware/psci into the respective ACPI/DT PSCI CPUidle backends and convert the psci_cpu_suspend_enter() API to get the power_state parameter as input, which makes it closer to its firmware interface PSCI.CPU_SUSPEND() API. A notable side effect is that the PSCI ACPI/DT CPUidle backends now can directly handle (and if needed update) power_state parameters before handing them over to the PSCI firmware interface to trigger PSCI.CPU_SUSPEND() calls.

cpuidle: Export the next timer expiration for CPUs To be able to predict the sleep duration for a CPU entering idle, it is essential to know the expiration time of the next timer. Both the teo and the menu cpuidle governors already use this information for CPU idle state selection. Moving forward, a similar prediction needs to be made for a group of idle CPUs rather than for a single one and the following changes implement a new genpd governor for that purpose. In order to support that feature, add a new function called tick_nohz_get_next_hrtimer() that will return the next hrtimer expiration time of a given CPU to be invoked after deciding whether or not to stop the scheduler tick on that CPU. Make the cpuidle core call tick_nohz_get_next_hrtimer() right before invoking the ->enter() callback provided by the cpuidle driver for the given state and store its return value in the per-CPU struct cpuidle_device, so as to make it available to code outside of cpuidle. Note that at the point when cpuidle calls tick_nohz_get_next_hrtimer(), the governor's ->select() callback has already returned and indicated whether or not the tick should be stopped, so in fact the value returned by tick_nohz_get_next_hrtimer() always is the next hrtimer expiration time for the given CPU, possibly including the tick (if it hasn't been stopped).

cpuidle: menu: Fix wakeup statistics updates for polling state If the CPU exits the "polling" state due to the time limit in the loop in poll_idle(), this is not a real wakeup and it just means that the "polling" state selection was not adequate. The governor mispredicted short idle duration, but had a more suitable state been selected, the CPU might have spent more time in it. In fact, there is no reason to expect that there would have been a wakeup event earlier than the next timer in that case. Handling such cases as regular wakeups in menu_update() may cause the menu governor to make suboptimal decisions going forward, but ignoring them altogether would not be correct either, because every time menu_select() is invoked, it makes a separate new attempt to predict the idle duration taking distinct time to the closest timer event as input and the outcomes of all those attempts should be recorded. For this reason, make menu_update() always assume that if the "polling" state was exited due to the time limit, the next proper wakeup event for the CPU would be the next timer event (not including the tick).

cpuidle: Return nohz hint from cpuidle_select() Add a new pointer argument to cpuidle_select() and to the ->select cpuidle governor callback to allow a boolean value indicating whether or not the tick should be stopped before entering the selected state to be returned from there. Make the ladder governor ignore that pointer (to preserve its current behavior) and make the menu governor return 'false" through it if: (1) the idle exit latency is constrained at 0, or (2) the selected state is a polling one, or (3) the expected idle period duration is within the tick period range. In addition to that, the correction factor computations in the menu governor need to take the possibility that the tick may not be stopped into account to avoid artificially small correction factor values. To that end, add a mechanism to record tick wakeups, as suggested by Peter Zijlstra, and use it to modify the menu_update() behavior when tick wakeup occurs. Namely, if the CPU is woken up by the tick and the return value of tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() is not within the tick boundary, the predicted idle duration is likely too short, so make menu_update() try to compensate for that by updating the governor statistics as though the CPU was idle for a long time. Since the value returned through the new argument pointer of cpuidle_select() is not used by its caller yet, this change by itself is not expected to alter the functionality of the code.

cpuidle: Add new macro to enter a retention idle state If a CPU is entering a low power idle state where it doesn't lose any context, then there is no need to call cpu_pm_enter()/cpu_pm_exit(). Add a new macro(CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_RETENTION) to be used by cpuidle drivers when they are entering retention state. By not calling cpu_pm_enter and cpu_pm_exit we reduce the latency involved in entering and exiting the retention idle states. CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_RETENTION assumes that no state is lost and hence CPU PM notifiers will not be called. We may need a broader change if we need to support partial retention states effeciently. On ARM64 based Qualcomm Server Platform we measured below overhead for for calling cpu_pm_enter and cpu_pm_exit for retention states. workload: stress --hdd #CPUs --hdd-bytes 32M -t 30 Average overhead of cpu_pm_enter - 1.2us Average overhead of cpu_pm_exit - 3.1us Acked-by: Rafael J.

cpuidle: Eliminate the CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol On some architectures the first (index 0) idle state is a polling one and it doesn't really save energy, so there is the CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol allowing some pieces of cpuidle code to avoid using that state. However, this makes the code rather hard to follow. It is better to explicitly avoid the polling state, so add a new cpuidle state flag CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING to mark it and make the relevant code check that flag for the first state instead of using the CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol. In the ACPI processor driver that cannot always rely on the state flags (like before the states table has been set up) define a new internal symbol ACPI_IDLE_STATE_START equivalent to the CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START one and drop the latter.

cpuidle: remove state_count field from struct cpuidle_device Thomas Schlichter reports the following issue on his Samsung NC20: "The C-states C1 and C2 to the OS when connected to AC, and additionally provides the C3 C-state when disconnected from AC. However, the number of C-states shown in sysfs is fixed to the number of C-states present at boot. If I boot with AC connected, I always only see the C-states up to C2 even if I disconnect AC. The reason is commit 130a5f692425 (ACPI / cpuidle: remove dev->state_count setting). It removes the update of dev->state_count, but sysfs uses exactly this variable to show the C-states. The fix is to use drv->state_count in sysfs. As this is currently the last user of dev->state_count, this variable can be completely removed." Remove dev->state_count as per the above.

cpuidle / sleep: Use broadcast timer for states that stop local timer Commit 381063133246 (PM / sleep: Re-implement suspend-to-idle handling) overlooked the fact that entering some sufficiently deep idle states by CPUs may cause their local timers to stop and in those cases it is necessary to switch over to a broadcast timer prior to entering the idle state. If the cpuidle driver in use does not provide the new ->enter_freeze callback for any of the idle states, that problem affects suspend-to-idle too, but it is not taken into account after the changes made by commit 381063133246. Fix that by changing the definition of cpuidle_enter_freeze() and re-arranging of the code in cpuidle_idle_call(), so the former does not call cpuidle_enter() any more and the fallback case is handled by cpuidle_idle_call() directly.

PM / sleep: Make it possible to quiesce timers during suspend-to-idle The efficiency of suspend-to-idle depends on being able to keep CPUs in the deepest available idle states for as much time as possible. Ideally, they should only be brought out of idle by system wakeup interrupts. However, timer interrupts occurring periodically prevent that from happening and it is not practical to chase all of the "misbehaving" timers in a whack-a-mole fashion. A much more effective approach is to suspend the local ticks for all CPUs and the entire timekeeping along the lines of what is done during full suspend, which also helps to keep suspend-to-idle and full suspend reasonably similar. The idea is to suspend the local tick on each CPU executing cpuidle_enter_freeze() and to make the last of them suspend the entire timekeeping. That should prevent timer interrupts from triggering until an IO interrupt wakes up one of the CPUs. It needs to be done with interrupts disabled on all of the CPUs, though, because otherwise the suspended clocksource might be accessed by an interrupt handler which might lead to fatal consequences. Unfortunately, the existing ->enter callbacks provided by cpuidle drivers generally cannot be used for implementing that, because some of them re-enable interrupts temporarily and some idle entry methods cause interrupts to be re-enabled automatically on exit. Also some of these callbacks manipulate local clock event devices of the CPUs which really shouldn't be done after suspending their ticks. To overcome that difficulty, introduce a new cpuidle state callback, ->enter_freeze, that will be guaranteed (1) to keep interrupts disabled all the time (and return with interrupts disabled) and (2) not to touch the CPU timer devices. Modify cpuidle_enter_freeze() to look for the deepest available idle state with ->enter_freeze present and to make the CPU execute that callback with suspended tick (and the last of the online CPUs to execute it with suspended timekeeping).

PM / sleep: Re-implement suspend-to-idle handling In preparation for adding support for quiescing timers in the final stage of suspend-to-idle transitions, rework the freeze_enter() function making the system wait on a wakeup event, the freeze_wake() function terminating the suspend-to-idle loop and the mechanism by which deep idle states are entered during suspend-to-idle. First of all, introduce a simple state machine for suspend-to-idle and make the code in question use it. Second, prevent freeze_enter() from losing wakeup events due to race conditions and ensure that the number of online CPUs won't change while it is being executed. In addition to that, make it force all of the CPUs re-enter the idle loop in case they are in idle states already (so they can enter deeper idle states if possible). Next, drop cpuidle_use_deepest_state() and replace use_deepest_state checks in cpuidle_select() and cpuidle_reflect() with a single suspend-to-idle state check in cpuidle_idle_call(). Finally, introduce cpuidle_enter_freeze() that will simply find the deepest idle state available to the given CPU and enter it using cpuidle_enter(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

cpuidle / ACPI: remove unused CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID is no longer checked by menu or ladder cpuidle governors, so don't bother setting or defining it. It was originally invented to account for the fact that acpi_safe_halt() enables interrupts to invoke HLT. That would allow interrupt service routines to be included in the last_idle duration measurements made in cpuidle_enter_state(), potentially returning a duration much larger than reality. But menu and ladder can gracefully handle erroneously large duration intervals without checking for CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID. Further, if they don't check CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID, they can also benefit from the instances when the duration interval is not erroneously large.

cpuidle: Make cpuidle's sysfs directory dynamically allocated The cpuidle sysfs code is designed to have a single instance of per CPU cpuidle directory. It is not possible to remove the sysfs entry and create it again. This is not a problem with the current code but future changes will add CPU hotplug support to enable/disable the device, so it will need to remove the sysfs entry like other subsystems do. That won't be possible without this change, because the kobj is a static object which can't be reused for kobj_init_and_add(). Add cpuidle_device_kobj to be allocated dynamically when adding/removing a sysfs entry which is consistent with the other cpuidle's sysfs entries. An added benefit is that the sysfs code is now more self-contained and the includes needed for sysfs can be moved from cpuidle.h directly into sysfs.c so as to reduce the total number of headers dragged along with cpuidle.h.

cpuidle: simplify multiple driver support Commit bf4d1b5 (cpuidle: support multiple drivers) introduced support for using multiple cpuidle drivers at the same time. It added a couple of new APIs to register the driver per CPU, but that led to some unnecessary code complexity related to the kernel config options deciding whether or not the multiple driver support is enabled. The code has to work as it did before when the multiple driver support is not enabled and the multiple driver support has to be compatible with the previously existing API. Remove the new API, not used by any driver in the tree yet (but needed for the HMP cpuidle drivers that will be submitted soon), and add a new cpumask pointer to the cpuidle driver structure that will point to the mask of CPUs handled by the given driver.

cpuidle: make a single register function for all The usual scheme to initialize a cpuidle driver on a SMP is: cpuidle_register_driver(drv); for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) { device = &per_cpu(cpuidle_dev, cpu); cpuidle_register_device(device); } This code is duplicated in each cpuidle driver. On UP systems, it is done this way: cpuidle_register_driver(drv); device = &per_cpu(cpuidle_dev, cpu); cpuidle_register_device(device); On UP, the macro 'for_each_cpu' does one iteration: #define for_each_cpu(cpu, mask) \ for ((cpu) = 0; (cpu) < 1; (cpu)++, (void)mask) Hence, the initialization loop is the same for UP than SMP. Beside, we saw different bugs / mis-initialization / return code unchecked in the different drivers, the code is duplicated including bugs. After fixing all these ones, it appears the initialization pattern is the same for everyone. Please note, some drivers are doing dev->state_count = drv->state_count. This is not necessary because it is done by the cpuidle_enable_device function in the cpuidle framework. This is true, until you have the same states for all your devices. Otherwise, the 'low level' API should be used instead with the specific initialization for the driver. Let's add a wrapper function doing this initialization with a cpumask parameter for the coupled idle states and use it for all the drivers. That will save a lot of LOC, consolidate the code, and the modifications in the future could be done in a single place. Another benefit is the consolidation of the cpuidle_device variable which is now in the cpuidle framework and no longer spread accross the different arch specific drivers.

cpuidle: remove the power_specified field in the driver We realized that the power usage field is never filled and when it is filled for tegra, the power_specified flag is not set causing all of these values to be reset when the driver is initialized with set_power_state(). However, the power_specified flag can be simply removed under the assumption that the states are always backward sorted, which is the case with the current code. This change allows the menu governor select function and the cpuidle_play_dead() to be simplified. Moreover, the set_power_states() function can removed as it does not make sense any more. Drop the power_specified flag from struct cpuidle_driver and make the related changes as described above. As a consequence, this also fixes the bug where on the dynamic C-states system, the power fields are not initialized.

cpuidle: support multiple drivers 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.

PM / cpuidle: System resume hang fix with cpuidle 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.

PM / Domains: Add preliminary support for cpuidle, v2 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.

cpuidle: add support for states that affect multiple cpus 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.

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.

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.

cpuidle: Split cpuidle_state structure and move per-cpu statistics fields This is the first step towards global registration of cpuidle states. The statistics used primarily by the governor are per-cpu and have to be split from rest of the fields inside cpuidle_state, which would be made global i.e. single copy. The driver_data field is also per-cpu and moved.

cpuidle: Remove CPUIDLE_FLAG_IGNORE and dev->prepare() The cpuidle_device->prepare() mechanism causes updates to the cpuidle_state[].flags, setting and clearing CPUIDLE_FLAG_IGNORE to tell the governor not to chose a state on a per-cpu basis at run-time. State demotion is now handled by the driver and it returns the actual state entered. Hence, this mechanism is not required. Also this removes per-cpu flags from cpuidle_state enabling it to be made global.

cpuidle: Move dev->last_residency update to driver enter routine; remove 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.

include: replace linux/module.h with "struct module" wherever possible The <linux/module.h> pretty much brings in the kitchen sink along with it, so it should be avoided wherever reasonably possible in terms of being included from other commonly used <linux/something.h> files, as it results in a measureable increase on compile times. The worst culprit was probably device.h since it is used everywhere. This file also had an implicit dependency/usage of mutex.h which was masked by module.h, and is also fixed here at the same time. There are over a dozen other headers that simply declare the struct instead of pulling in the whole file, so follow their lead and simply make it a few more. Most of the implicit dependencies on module.h being present by these headers pulling it in have been now weeded out, so we can finally make this change with hopefully minimal breakage.

While it parses the idle tables for the hypervisor's beneift, it uses HLT for its own idle. Rather than have xen scribble on pm_idle and access default_idle, have it simply disable_cpuidle() so acpi_idle will not load and architecture default HLT will be used. cc: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com Tested-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Acked-by: H.

cpuidle: extend cpuidle and menu governor to handle dynamic states 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.

cpuidle acpi driver: fix oops on AC<->DC cpuidle and acpi driver interaction bug with the way cpuidle_register_driver() is called. Due to this bug, there will be oops on AC<->DC on some systems, where they support C-states in one DC and not in AC. The current code does ON BOOT: Look at CST and other C-state info to see whether more than C1 is supported. If it is, then acpi processor_idle does a cpuidle_register_driver() call, which internally enables the device. ON CST change notification (AC<->DC) and on suspend-resume: acpi driver temporarily disables device, updates the device with any new C-states, and reenables the device. The problem is is on boot, there are no C2, C3 states supported and we skip the register. Later on AC<->DC, we may get a CST notification and we try to reevaluate CST and enabled the device, without actually registering it. This causes breakage as we try to create /sys fs sub directory, without the parent directory which is created at register time.

The following is a list of changes: 1.) the state name is now included in the sysfs interface 2.) detection, hotplug, and available state modifications are handled by CPUIDLE drivers directly 3.) the CPUIDLE idle handler is only ever installed when at least one cpuidle_device is enabled and ready 4.) the menu governor BM code no longer overflows 5.) the sysfs attributes are now printed as unsigned integers, avoiding negative values 6.) a variety of other small cleanups Also, Idle drivers are no longer swappable during runtime through the CPUIDLE sysfs inteface. On i386 and x86_64 most idle handlers (e.g. poll, mwait, halt, etc.) don't benefit from an infrastructure that supports multiple states, so I think using a more general case idle handler selection mechanism would be cleaner.

I call it the 'menu' governor because it considers the full list of idle states before each entry. I've kept the implementation fairly simple. It attempts to guess the next residency time and then chooses a state that would meet at least the break-even point between power savings and entry cost. To this end, it selects the deepest idle state that satisfies the following constraints: 1. If the idle time elapsed since bus master activity was detected is below a threshold (currently 20 ms), then limit the selection to C2-type or above. 2. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds the expected time remaining until the next timer interrupt. 3. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds the elapsed time between the last pair of break events, excluding timer interrupts. This governor has an advantage over "ladder" governor because it proactively checks how much time remains until the next timer interrupt using the tick infrastructure. Also, it handles device interrupt activity more intelligently by not including timer interrupts in break event calculations. Finally, it doesn't make policy decisions using the number of state entries, which can have variable residency times (NO_HZ makes these potentially very large), and instead only considers sleep time deltas. The menu governor can be selected during runtime using the cpuidle sysfs interface like so: "echo "menu" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_governor" Signed-off-by: Adam Belay <abelay@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> commit a4bec7e65aa3b7488b879d971651cc99a6c410fe Author: Adam Belay <abelay@novell.com> Date: Sat Mar 24 03:47:03 2007 -0400 cpuidle: export time until next timer interrupt using NO_HZ Expose information about the time remaining until the next timer interrupt expires by utilizing the dynticks infrastructure. Also modify the main idle loop to allow dynticks to handle non-interrupt break events (e.g. DMA). Finally, expose sleep ticks information to external code.

A cpuidle driver can support multiple idle states based on parameters like varying power consumption, wakeup latency, etc (ACPI C-states for example). A cpuidle governor can be usage model specific (laptop, server, laptop on battery etc). Main advantage of the infrastructure being, it allows independent development of drivers and governors and allows for better CPU power management. A huge thanks to Adam Belay and Shaohua Li who were part of this mini-project since its beginning and are greatly responsible for this patchset. This patch: Core cpuidle infrastructure. Introduces a new abstraction layer for cpuidle: * which manages drivers that can support multiple idles states. Drivers can be generic or particular to specific hardware/platform * allows pluging in multiple policy governors that can take idle state policy decision * The core also has a set of sysfs interfaces with which administrato can know about supported drivers and governors and switch them at run time.
