We can ensure that the timer always runs on one of the policy-cpus. If the timer gets migrated to a cpu outside the policy then re-queue it back on the policy->cpus. This way we can get rid of the smp-call which was being used to set the pstate on the policy->cpus.

The cpufreq core is already validating the CPU frequency table after calling the ->init() callback of the cpufreq drivers and the drivers don't need to do the same anymore. Though they need to set the policy->freq_table field directly from the ->init() callback now. Stop validating the frequency table from powernv driver.

On POWER8 and POWER9, the PMSR and the PMCR registers define pstates to be 8-bit wide values. The device-tree exports pstates as 32-bit wide values of which the lower byte is the actual pstate. The current implementation in the kernel treats pstates as integer type, since it used to use the sign of the pstate for performing some boundary-checks. This is no longer required after the patch "powernv-cpufreq: Fix pstate_to_idx() to handle non-continguous pstates". So, in this patch, we modify the powernv-cpufreq driver to uniformly treat pstates as opaque 8-bit values obtained from the device-tree or the PMCR. This simplifies the extract_pstate() helper function since we no longer no longer require to worry about the sign-extentions. Signed-off-by: NGautham R.

The code in powernv-cpufreq, makes the following two assumptions which are not guaranteed by the device-tree bindings: 1) Pstate ids are continguous: This is used in pstate_to_idx() to obtain the reverse map from a pstate to it's corresponding entry into the cpufreq frequency table. 2) Every Pstate should always lie between the max and the min pstates that are explicitly reported in the device tree: This is used to determine whether a pstate reported by the PMSR is out of bounds. Both these assumptions are unwarranted and can change on future platforms. In this patch, we maintain the reverse map from a pstate to it's index in the cpufreq frequency table and use this in pstate_to_idx(). This does away with the assumptions (1) mentioned above, and will work with non continguous pstate ids. If no entry exists for a particular pstate, then such a pstate is treated as being out of bounds. This gets rid of assumption (2). On all the existing platforms, where the pstates are 8-bit long values, the new implementation of pstate_to_idx() takes constant time. Signed-off-by: NGautham R.

On POWERNV platform, the fields for pstates in the Power Management Status Register (PMSR) and the Power Management Control Register (PMCR) are 8-bits wide. On POWER8 the pstates are negatively numbered while on POWER9 they are positively numbered. The device-tree exports pstates as 32-bit entries. The device-tree implementation sign-extends the 8-bit pstate values to obtain the corresponding 32-bit entry. Eg: On POWER8, a pstate value 0x82 [-126] is represented in the device-tree as 0xfffffff82 while on POWER9, the same value 0x82 [130] is represented in the device-tree as 0x00000082. The powernv-cpufreq driver implementation represents pstates using the integer type. In multiple places in the driver, the code interprets the pstates extracted from the PMSR as a signed byte and assigns it to a integer variable to get the sign-extention. On POWER9 platforms which have greater than 128 pstates, this results in the driver performing incorrect sign-extention, and thereby treating a legitimate pstate (say 130) as an invalid pstates (since it is interpreted as -126). This patch fixes the issue by implementing a helper function to extract Pstates from PMSR register, and correctly sign-extend it to be consistent with the values provided by the device-tree.

In P8+, Workload Optimized Frequency(WOF) provides the capability to boost the cpu frequency based on the utilization of the other cpus running in the chip. The On-Chip-Controller(OCC) firmware will control the achievability of these frequencies depending on the power headroom available in the chip. Currently the ultra-turbo frequencies provided by this feature are exported along with the turbo and sub-turbo frequencies as scaling_available_frequencies. This patch will export the ultra-turbo frequencies separately as scaling_boost_frequencies in WOF enabled systems. This patch will add the boost sysfs file which can be used to disable/enable ultra-turbo frequencies. Signed-off-by: NShilpasri G Bhat <shilpa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: NGautham R.

As fast_switch() may get called with interrupt disable mode, we cannot hold a mutex to update the global_pstate_info. So currently, fast_switch() does not update the global_pstate_info and it will end up with stale data whenever pstate is updated through fast_switch(). As the gpstate_timer can fire after fast_switch() has updated the pstates, the timer handler cannot rely on the cached values of local and global pstate and needs to read it from the PMCR. Only gpstate_timer_handler() is affected by the stale cached pstate data beacause either fast_switch() or target_index() routines will be called for a given govenor, but gpstate_timer can fire after the governor has changed to schedutil.

Commit 09ca4c9b (cpufreq: powernv: Replacing pstate_id with frequency table index) changes calc_global_pstate() to use cpufreq_table index instead of pstate_id. But in gpstate_timer_handler(), pstate_id was being passed instead of cpufreq_table index, which caused index_to_pstate() to access out of bound indices, leading to this crash. Adding sanity check for index and pstate, to ensure only valid pstate and index values are returned.

And the timer irq handler just try_locks() hence it would not cause a deadlock. Hence could do without making spinlocks irq safe. - As the smp_call_function_any() is a blocking call and does not access global_pstates_info, it could reduce the critcal section by moving smp_call_function_any() after giving up the lock.

The frequency transition latency from pmin to pmax is observed to be in few millisecond granurality. And it usually happens to take a performance penalty during sudden frequency rampup requests. This patch set solves this problem by using an entity called "global pstates". The global pstate is a Chip-level entity, so the global entitiy (Voltage) is managed across the cores. The local pstate is a Core-level entity, so the local entity (frequency) is managed across threads. This patch brings down global pstate at a slower rate than the local pstate. Hence by holding global pstates higher than local pstate makes the subsequent rampups faster. A per policy structure is maintained to keep track of the global and local pstate changes. The global pstate is brought down using a parabolic equation. The ramp down time to pmin is set to ~5 seconds. To make sure that the global pstates are dropped at regular interval , a timer is queued for every 2 seconds during ramp-down phase, which eventually brings the pstate down to local pstate. Iozone results show fairly consistent performance boost. YCSB on redis shows improved Max latencies in most cases. Iozone write/rewite test were made with filesizes 200704Kb and 401408Kb with different record sizes . The following table shows IOoperations/sec with and without patch.

Currently we use printk message to notify the throttle event. But this can flood the console if the cpu is throttled frequently. So replace the printk with the tracepoint to notify the throttle event. And also events like throttle below nominal frequency and OCC_RESET are reduced to pr_warn/pr_warn_once as pointed by MFG to not mark them as critical messages. This patch adds 'throttle_reason' to struct chip to store the throttle reason. Signed-off-by: NShilpasri G Bhat <shilpa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: NGautham R.

On a reset cycle of OCC, although the system retires from safe frequency state the local pstate is not restored to Pmin or last requested pstate. Now if the cpufreq governor initiates a pstate change, the local pstate will be in Psafe and we will be reporting a false positive when we are not throttled. So in powernv_cpufreq_throttle_check() remove the condition which checks if local pstate is less than Pmin while checking for Psafe frequency. If the cpus are forced to Psafe then PMSR.psafe_mode_active bit will be set. So, when OCCs become active this bit will be cleared. Let us just rely on this bit for reporting throttling.

Re-evaluate the chip's throttled state on recieving OCC_THROTTLE notification by executing *throttle_check() on any one of the cpu on the chip. This is a sanity check to verify if we were indeed throttled/unthrottled after receiving OCC_THROTTLE notification. We cannot call *throttle_check() directly from the notification handler because we could be handling chip1's notification in chip2. So initiate an smp_call to execute *throttle_check(). We are irq-disabled in the notification handler, so use a worker thread to smp_call throttle_check() on any of the cpu in the chipmask.

OCC is an On-Chip-Controller which takes care of power and thermal safety of the chip. During runtime due to power failure or overtemperature the OCC may throttle the frequencies of the CPUs to remain within the power budget. We want the cpufreq driver to be aware of such situations to be able to report the reason to the user. We register to opal_message_notifier to receive OCC messages from opal. powernv_cpufreq_throttle_check() reports any frequency throttling and this patch will report the reason or event that caused throttling. We can be throttled if OCC is reset or OCC limits Pmax due to power or thermal reasons. We are also notified of unthrottling after an OCC reset or if OCC restores Pmax on the chip.

The On-Chip-Controller(OCC) can throttle cpu frequency by reducing the max allowed frequency for that chip if the chip exceeds its power or temperature limits. As Pmax capping is a chip level condition report this throttling behavior at chip level and also do not set the global 'throttled' on Pmax capping instead set the per-chip throttled variable. Report unthrottling if Pmax is restored after throttling. This patch adds a structure to store chip id and throttled state of the chip.

The power and thermal safety of the system is taken care by an On-Chip-Controller (OCC) which is real-time subsystem embedded within the POWER8 processor. OCC continuously monitors the memory and core temperature, the total system power, state of power supply and fan. The cpu frequency can be throttled by OCC for the following reasons: 1)If a processor crosses its power and temperature limit then OCC will lower its Pmax to reduce the frequency and voltage. 2)If OCC crashes then the system is forced to Psafe frequency. 3)If OCC fails to recover then the kernel is not allowed to do any further frequency changes and the chip will remain in Psafe. The user can see a drop in performance when frequency is throttled and is unaware of throttling. So detect and report such a condition, so the user can check the OCC status to reboot the system or check for power supply or fan failures. The current status of the core is read from Power Management Status Register(PMSR) to check if any of the throttling condition is occurred and the appropriate throttling message is reported.

This patch ensures the cpus to kexec/reboot at nominal frequency. Nominal frequency is the highest cpu frequency on PowerPC at which the cores can run without getting throttled. If the host kernel had set the cpus to a low pstate and then it kexecs/reboots to a cpufreq disabled kernel it would cause the target kernel to perform poorly. It will also increase the boot up time of the target kernel. So set the cpus to high pstate, in this case to nominal frequency before rebooting to avoid such scenarios. The reboot notifier will set the cpus to nominal frequncy.

Its possible today that the pstate of a core is held at a high even after the entire core is hotplugged out if a load had just run on the hotplugged cpu. This is fair, since it is assumed that the pstate does not matter to a cpu in a deep idle state, which is the expected state of a hotplugged core on powerpc. However on powerpc, the pstate at a socket level is held at the maximum of the pstates of each core. Even if the pstates of the active cores on that socket is low, the socket pstate is held high due to the pstate of the hotplugged core in the above mentioned scenario. This can cost significant amount of power loss for no good. Besides, since it is a non active core, nothing can be done from the kernel's end to set the frequency of the core right. Hence make use of the stop_cpu callback to explicitly set the pstate of the core to a minimum when the last cpu of the core gets hotplugged out.
