      PM / devfreq: Add basic governors · ce26c5bb
      MyungJoo Ham 提交于
      Four cpufreq-like governors are provided as examples.
      
      powersave: use the lowest frequency possible. The user (device) should
      set the polling_ms as 0 because polling is useless for this governor.
      
      performance: use the highest freqeuncy possible. The user (device)
      should set the polling_ms as 0 because polling is useless for this
      governor.
      
      userspace: use the user specified frequency stored at
      devfreq.user_set_freq. With sysfs support in the following patch, a user
      may set the value with the sysfs interface.
      
      simple_ondemand: simplified version of cpufreq's ondemand governor.
      
      When a user updates OPP entries (enable/disable/add), OPP framework
      automatically notifies devfreq to update operating frequency
      accordingly. Thus, devfreq users (device drivers) do not need to update
      devfreq manually with OPP entry updates or set polling_ms for powersave
      , performance, userspace, or any other "static" governors.
      
      Note that these are given only as basic examples for governors and any
      devices with devfreq may implement their own governors with the drivers
      and use them.

      PM: Introduce devfreq: generic DVFS framework with device-specific OPPs · a3c98b8b
      MyungJoo Ham 提交于
      With OPPs, a device may have multiple operable frequency and voltage
      sets. However, there can be multiple possible operable sets and a system
      will need to choose one from them. In order to reduce the power
      consumption (by reducing frequency and voltage) without affecting the
      performance too much, a Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS)
      scheme may be used.
      
      This patch introduces the DVFS capability to non-CPU devices with OPPs.
      DVFS is a techique whereby the frequency and supplied voltage of a
      device is adjusted on-the-fly. DVFS usually sets the frequency as low
      as possible with given conditions (such as QoS assurance) and adjusts
      voltage according to the chosen frequency in order to reduce power
      consumption and heat dissipation.
      
      The generic DVFS for devices, devfreq, may appear quite similar with
      /drivers/cpufreq.  However, cpufreq does not allow to have multiple
      devices registered and is not suitable to have multiple heterogenous
      devices with different (but simple) governors.
      
      Normally, DVFS mechanism controls frequency based on the demand for
      the device, and then, chooses voltage based on the chosen frequency.
      devfreq also controls the frequency based on the governor's frequency
      recommendation and let OPP pick up the pair of frequency and voltage
      based on the recommended frequency. Then, the chosen OPP is passed to
      device driver's "target" callback.
      
      When PM QoS is going to be used with the devfreq device, the device
      driver should enable OPPs that are appropriate with the current PM QoS
      requests. In order to do so, the device driver may call opp_enable and
      opp_disable at the notifier callback of PM QoS so that PM QoS's
      update_target() call enables the appropriate OPPs. Note that at least
      one of OPPs should be enabled at any time; be careful when there is a
      transition.
