Currently, intel_pstate doesn't register if _PSS is not present on HP Proliant systems, because it expects the firmware to take over CPU performance scaling in that case. However, if ACPI PCCH is present, the firmware expects the kernel to use it for CPU performance scaling and the pcc-cpufreq driver is loaded for that. Unfortunately, the firmware interface used by that driver is not scalable for fundamental reasons, so pcc-cpufreq is way suboptimal on systems with more than just a few CPUs. In fact, it is better to avoid using it at all. For this reason, modify intel_pstate to look for ACPI PCCH if _PSS is not present and register if it is there. Also prevent the pcc-cpufreq driver from trying to initialize itself if intel_pstate has been registered already.

When scaling max/min settings are changed, internally they are converted to a ratio using the max turbo 1 core turbo frequency. This works fine when 1 core max is same irrespective of the core. But under Turbo 3.0, this will not be the case. For example: Core 0: max turbo pstate: 43 (4.3GHz) Core 1: max turbo pstate: 45 (4.5GHz) In this case 1 core turbo ratio will be maximum of all, so it will be 45 (4.5GHz). Suppose scaling max is set to 4GHz (ratio 40) for all cores ,then on core one it will be = max_state * policy->max / max_freq; = 43 * (4000000/4500000) = 38 (3.8GHz) = 38 which is 200MHz less than the desired. On core2, it will be correctly set to ratio 40 (4GHz). Same holds true for scaling min frequency limit. So this requires usage of correct turbo max frequency for core one, which in this case is 4.3GHz. So we need to adjust per CPU cpu->pstate.turbo_freq using the maximum HWP ratio of that core. This change uses the HWP capability of a core to adjust max turbo frequency. But since Broadwell HWP doesn't use ratios in the HWP capabilities, we have to use legacy max 1 core turbo ratio. This is not a problem as the HWP capabilities don't differ among cores in Broadwell. We need to check for non Broadwell CPU model for applying this change, though.

The vzalloc() function has no 2-factor argument form, so multiplication factors need to be wrapped in array_size(). This patch replaces cases of: vzalloc(a * b) with: vzalloc(array_size(a, b)) as well as handling cases of: vzalloc(a * b * c) with: vzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c)) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: vzalloc(4 * 1024) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The Coccinelle script used for this was: // Fix redundant parens around sizeof(). @@ type TYPE; expression THING, E; @@ ( vzalloc( - (sizeof(TYPE)) * E + sizeof(TYPE) * E , ...) | vzalloc( - (sizeof(THING)) * E + sizeof(THING) * E , ...) ) // Drop single-byte sizes and redundant parens. @@ expression COUNT; typedef u8; typedef __u8; @@ ( vzalloc( - sizeof(u8) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(__u8) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(char) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(unsigned char) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(u8) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(__u8) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(char) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(unsigned char) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) ) // 2-factor product with sizeof(type/expression) and identifier or constant. @@ type TYPE; expression THING; identifier COUNT_ID; constant COUNT_CONST; @@ ( vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT_ID) + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT_ID + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT_CONST) + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT_CONST + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT_ID) + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT_ID + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT_CONST) + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT_CONST + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(THING)) , ...) ) // 2-factor product, only identifiers. @@ identifier SIZE, COUNT; @@ vzalloc( - SIZE * COUNT + array_size(COUNT, SIZE) , ...) // 3-factor product with 1 sizeof(type) or sizeof(expression), with // redundant parens removed. @@ expression THING; identifier STRIDE, COUNT; type TYPE; @@ ( vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT) * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT) * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT) * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT) * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) ) // 3-factor product with 2 sizeof(variable), with redundant parens removed. @@ expression THING1, THING2; identifier COUNT; type TYPE1, TYPE2; @@ ( vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(TYPE2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(TYPE2)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(TYPE2)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING1) * sizeof(THING2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(THING1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(THING1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) ) // 3-factor product, only identifiers, with redundant parens removed. @@ identifier STRIDE, SIZE, COUNT; @@ ( vzalloc( - (COUNT) * STRIDE * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vzalloc( - COUNT * (STRIDE) * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vzalloc( - COUNT * STRIDE * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vzalloc( - (COUNT) * (STRIDE) * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vzalloc( - COUNT * (STRIDE) * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vzalloc( - (COUNT) * STRIDE * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vzalloc( - (COUNT) * (STRIDE) * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vzalloc( - COUNT * STRIDE * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) ) // Any remaining multi-factor products, first at least 3-factor products // when they're not all constants... @@ expression E1, E2, E3; constant C1, C2, C3; @@ ( vzalloc(C1 * C2 * C3, ...) | vzalloc( - E1 * E2 * E3 + array3_size(E1, E2, E3) , ...) ) // And then all remaining 2 factors products when they're not all constants. @@ expression E1, E2; constant C1, C2; @@ ( vzalloc(C1 * C2, ...) | vzalloc( - E1 * E2 + array_size(E1, E2) , ...) ) Signed-off-by: NKees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

This change uses SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT flag to boost HWP performance. Since SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT flag is set frequently, we don't start boosting steps unless we see two consecutive flags in two ticks. This avoids boosting due to IO because of regular system activities. To avoid synchronization issues, the actual processing of the flag is done on the local CPU callback.

Added two utility functions to HWP boost up gradually and boost down to the default cached HWP request values. Boost up: Boost up updates HWP request minimum value in steps. This minimum value can reach upto at HWP request maximum values depends on how frequently, this boost up function is called. At max, boost up will take three steps to reach the maximum, depending on the current HWP request levels and HWP capabilities. For example, if the current settings are: If P0 (Turbo max) = P1 (Guaranteed max) = min No boost at all. If P0 (Turbo max) > P1 (Guaranteed max) = min Should result in one level boost only for P0. If P0 (Turbo max) = P1 (Guaranteed max) > min Should result in two level boost: (min + p1)/2 and P1. If P0 (Turbo max) > P1 (Guaranteed max) > min Should result in three level boost: (min + p1)/2, P1 and P0. We don't set any level between P0 and P1 as there is no guarantee that they will be honored. Boost down: After the system is idle for hold time of 3ms, the HWP request is reset to the default value from HWP init or user modified one via sysfs. Caching of HWP Request and Capabilities Store the HWP request value last set using MSR_HWP_REQUEST and read MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES. This avoid reading of MSRs in the boost utility functions. These boost utility functions calculated limits are based on the latest HWP request value, which can be modified by setpolicy() callback. So if user space modifies the minimum perf value, that will be accounted for every time the boost up is called. There will be case when there can be contention with the user modified minimum perf, in that case user value will gain precedence. For example just before HWP_REQUEST MSR is updated from setpolicy() callback, the boost up function is called via scheduler tick callback. Here the cached MSR value is already the latest and limits are updated based on the latest user limits, but on return the MSR write callback called from setpolicy() callback will update the HWP_REQUEST value. This will be used till next time the boost up function is called. In addition add a variable to control HWP dynamic boosting. When HWP dynamic boost is active then set the HWP specific update util hook. The contents in the utility hooks will be filled in the subsequent patches.

Allow use of the trace_pstate_sample trace function when the intel_pstate driver is in passive mode. Since the core_busy and scaled_busy fields are not used, and it might be desirable to know which path through the driver was used, either intel_cpufreq_target or intel_cpufreq_fast_switch, re-task the core_busy field as a flag indicator. The user can then use the intel_pstate_tracer.py utility to summarize and plot the trace. Note: The core_busy feild still goes by that name in include/trace/events/power.h and within the intel_pstate_tracer.py script and csv file headers, but it is graphed as "performance", and called core_avg_perf now in the intel_pstate driver. Sometimes, in passive mode, the driver is not called for many tens or even hundreds of seconds. The user needs to understand, and not be confused by, this limitation.

Based on the power and performance tests using intel_pstate scaling algorithm the results are comparable. But intel_pstate brings in additional features: - Display of turbo frequency range, which many users like to see - Place limits in the turbo frequency range when platform allows Since these tests are done only using non PID algorithm introduced in kernel version 4.14, this patch is not a backport candidate.

The intel_pstate CPU frequency scaling driver has always calculated CPU frequency incorrectly. Recent changes have eliminted most of the issues, however the frequency reported in the trace buffer, if used, is incorrect. It remains desireable that cpu->pstate.scaling still be a nice round number for things such as when setting max and min frequencies. So the proposal is to just fix the reported frequency in the trace data. Fixes what remains of [1].

In the current implementation, the response latency between seeing SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT set and the actual P-state adjustment can be up to 10ms. It can be reduced by bumping up the P-state to the max at the time SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT is passed to intel_pstate_update_util(). With this change, the IO performance improves significantly. For a simple "grep -r . linux" (Here linux is the kernel source folder) with caches dropped every time on a Broadwell Xeon workstation with per-core P-states, the user and system time is shorter by as much as 30% - 40%. The same performance difference was not observed on clients that don't support per-core P-state.

With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor for some time. One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this does not occur. This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for remote CPUs as well. The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU. The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks. This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling, galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements, while others didn't had much deviation. The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where following are required to be true to improve performance and that doesn't happen too often with these tests: - Task is migrated to another CPU. - The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher OPPs. - And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the next tick.

The ->get callback in the intel_pstate structure was mostly there for the scaling_cur_freq sysfs attribute to work, but after commit f8475cef (x86: use common aperfmperf_khz_on_cpu() to calculate KHz using APERF/MPERF) that attribute uses arch_freq_get_on_cpu() provided by the x86 arch code on all processors supported by intel_pstate, so it doesn't need the ->get callback from the driver any more. Moreover, the very presence of the ->get callback in the intel_pstate structure causes the cpuinfo_cur_freq attribute to be present when intel_pstate operates in the active mode, which is bogus, because the role of that attribute is to return the current CPU frequency as seen by the hardware. For intel_pstate, though, this is just an average frequency and not really current, but computed for the previous sampling interval (the actual current frequency may be way different at the point this value is obtained by reading from cpuinfo_cur_freq), and after commit 82b4e03e (intel_pstate: skip scheduler hook when in "performance" mode) the value in cpuinfo_cur_freq may be stale or just 0, depending on the driver's operation mode. In fact, however, on the hardware supported by intel_pstate there is no way to read the current CPU frequency from it, so the cpuinfo_cur_freq attribute should not be present at all when this driver is in use. For this reason, drop intel_pstate_get() and clear the ->get callback pointer pointing to it, so that the cpuinfo_cur_freq is not present for intel_pstate in the active mode any more.

All systems with a defined ACPI preferred profile that are not "servers" have been using the load-based P-state selection algorithm in intel_pstate since 4.12-rc1 (mobile systems and laptops have been using it since 4.10-rc1) and no problems with it have been reported to date. In particular, no regressions with respect to the PID-based P-state selection have been reported. Also testing indicates that the P-state selection algorithm based on CPU load is generally on par with the PID-based algorithm performance-wise, and for some workloads it turns out to be better than the other one, while being more straightforward and easier to understand at the same time. Moreover, the PID-based P-state selection algorithm in intel_pstate is known to be unstable in some situation and generally problematic, the issues with it are hard to address and it has become a significant maintenance burden. For these reasons, make intel_pstate use the "powersave" P-state selection algorithm based on CPU load in the active mode on all systems and drop the PID-based P-state selection code along with all things related to it from the driver. Also update the documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: NRafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

The busy percent calculated for the Knights Landing (KNL) platform is 1024 times smaller than the correct busy value. This causes performance to get stuck at the lowest ratio. The scaling algorithm used for KNL is performance-based, but it still looks at the CPU load to set the scaled busy factor to 0 when the load is less than 1 percent. In this case, since the computed load is 1024x smaller than it should be, the scaled busy factor will always be 0, irrespective of CPU business. This needs a fix similar to the turbostat one in commit b2b34dfe (tools/power turbostat: KNL workaround for %Busy and Avg_MHz). For this reason, add one more callback to processor-specific callbacks to specify an MPERF multiplier represented by a number of bit positions to shift the value of that register to the left to copmensate for its rate difference with respect to the TSC. This shift value is used during CPU busy calculations.

When the minimum performance limit percentage is set to the power-up default, it is possible that minimum performance ratio is off by one. In the set_policy() callback the minimum ratio is calculated by applying global.min_perf_pct to turbo_ratio and rounding up, but the power-up default global.min_perf_pct is already rounded up to the next percent in min_perf_pct_min(). That results in two round up operations, so for the default min_perf_pct one of them is not required. It is better to remove rounding up in min_perf_pct_min() as this matches the displayed min_perf_pct prior to commit c5a2ee7d (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Active mode P-state limits rework) in 4.12. For example on a platform with max turbo ratio of 37 and minimum ratio of 10, the min_perf_pct resulted in 28 with the above commit. Before this commit it was 27 and it will be the same after this change.

attribute_groups are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions working with attribute_groups provided by <linux/sysfs.h> work with const attribute_group.

After commit 82b4e03e (intel_pstate: skip scheduler hook when in "performance" mode) get_target_pstate_use_performance() and get_target_pstate_use_cpu_load() are never called if scaling_governor is "performance", so drop the CPUFREQ_POLICY_PERFORMANCE checks from them as they will never trigger anyway. Moreover, the documentation needs to be updated to reflect the change made by the above commit, so do that too. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

When the governor is set to "performance", intel_pstate does not need the scheduler hook for doing any calculations. Under these conditions, its only purpose is to continue to maintain cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq. The cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq sysfs attribute is now provided by shared x86 cpufreq code on modern x86 systems, including all systems supported by the intel_pstate driver. So in "performance" governor mode, the scheduler hook can be skipped. This applies to both in Software and Hardware P-state control modes.

The cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq sysfs attribute is now provided by shared x86 cpufreq code on modern x86 systems, including all systems supported by the intel_pstate driver. In HWP mode, maintaining that value was the sole purpose of the scheduler hook, intel_pstate_update_util_hwp(), so it can now be removed.

In the current model the max/min perf limits are a fraction of current user space limits to the allowed max_freq or 100% for global limits. This results in wrong ratio limits calculation because of rounding issues for some user space limits. Initially we tried to solve this issue by issue by having more shift bits to increase precision. Still there are isolated cases where we still have error. This can be avoided by using ratios all together. Since the way we get cpuinfo.max_freq is by multiplying scaling factor to max ratio, we can easily keep the max/min ratios in terms of ratios and not fractions. For example: if the max ratio = 36 cpuinfo.max_freq = 36 * 100000 = 3600000 Suppose user space sets a limit of 1200000, then we can calculate max ratio limit as = 36 * 1200000 / 3600000 = 12 This will be correct for any user limits. The other advantage is that, we don't need to do any calculation in the fast path as ratio limit is already calculated via set_policy() callback.

Commit c5a2ee7d (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Active mode P-state limits rework) incorrectly assumed that pstate.turbo_pstate would always be nonzero for CPU0 in min_perf_pct_min() if cpufreq_register_driver() had succeeded which may not be the case in virtualized environments. If that assumption doesn't hold, it leads to an early crash on boot in intel_pstate_register_driver(), so add a sanity check to min_perf_pct_min() to prevent the crash from happening.

intel_pstate exports sysfs attributes for setting and observing HWP.EPP. These attributes use strings to describe 4 operating states, and inside the driver, these strings are mapped to numerical register values. The authorative mapping between the strings and numerical HWP.EPP values are now globally defined in msr-index.h, replacing the out-dated mapping that were open-coded into intel_pstate.c new old string --- --- ------ 0 0 performance 128 64 balance_performance 192 128 balance_power 255 192 power Note that the HW and BIOS default value on most system is 128, which intel_pstate will now call "balance_performance" while it used to call it "balance_power".

Make the schedutil governor take the initial (default) value of the rate_limit_us sysfs attribute from the (new) transition_delay_us policy parameter (to be set by the scaling driver). That will allow scaling drivers to make schedutil use smaller default values of rate_limit_us and reduce the default average time interval between consecutive frequency changes. Make intel_pstate set transition_delay_us to 500. Signed-off-by: NRafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> Acked-by: NViresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

Some computations in intel_pstate_get_min_max() are not necessary and one of its two callers doesn't even use the full result. First off, the fixed-point value of cpu->max_perf represents a non-negative number between 0 and 1 inclusive and cpu->min_perf cannot be greater than cpu->max_perf. It is not necessary to check those conditions every time the numbers in question are used. Moreover, since intel_pstate_max_within_limits() only needs the upper boundary, it doesn't make sense to compute the lower one in there and returning min and max from intel_pstate_get_min_max() via pointers doesn't look particularly nice. For the above reasons, drop intel_pstate_get_min_max(), add a helper to get the base P-state for min/max computations and carry out them directly in the previous callers of intel_pstate_get_min_max().

intel_pstate_hwp_set() is the only function walking policy->cpus in intel_pstate. The rest of the code simply assumes one CPU per policy, including the initialization code. Therefore it doesn't make sense for intel_pstate_hwp_set() to walk policy->cpus as it is guaranteed to have only one bit set for policy->cpu. For this reason, rearrange intel_pstate_hwp_set() to take the CPU number as the argument and drop the loop over policy->cpus from it. Signed-off-by: NRafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

The cpu_defaults structure is redundant, because it only contains one member of type struct pstate_funcs which can be used directly instead of struct cpu_defaults.
