      cpuidle/x86/perf: fix power:cpu_idle double end events and throw cpu_idle events from the cpuidle layer
      
      Currently intel_idle and acpi_idle driver show double cpu_idle "exit idle"
      events -> this patch fixes it and makes cpu_idle events throwing less complex.
      
      It also introduces cpu_idle events for all architectures which use
      the cpuidle subsystem, namely:
        - arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c
        - arch/arm/mach-davinci/cpuidle.c
        - arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/cpuidle.c
        - arch/arm/mach-omap2/cpuidle34xx.c
        - arch/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c (for all cases, not only mwait)
        - arch/x86/kernel/process.c (did throw events before, but was a mess)
        - drivers/idle/intel_idle.c (did throw events before)
      
      Convention should be:
      Fire cpu_idle events inside the current pm_idle function (not somewhere
      down the the callee tree) to keep things easy.
      
      Current possible pm_idle functions in X86:
      c1e_idle, poll_idle, cpuidle_idle_call, mwait_idle, default_idle
      -> this is really easy is now.
      
      This affects userspace:
      The type field of the cpu_idle power event can now direclty get
      mapped to:
      /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle/stateX/{name,desc,usage,time,...}
      instead of throwing very CPU/mwait specific values.
      This change is not visible for the intel_idle driver.
      For the acpi_idle driver it should only be visible if the vendor
      misses out C-states in his BIOS.
      Another (perf timechart) patch reads out cpuidle info of cpu_idle
      events from:
      /sys/.../cpuidle/stateX/*, then the cpuidle events are mapped
      to the correct C-/cpuidle state again, even if e.g. vendors miss
      out C-states in their BIOS and for example only export C1 and C3.
      -> everything is fine.

      cpuidle: Make cpuidle_enable_device() call poll_idle_init() · d8c216cf
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      The following scenario is possible with the current cpuidle code and
      the ACPI cpuidle driver:
      (1) acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() is called,
      (2) cpuidle_disable_device() is called,
      (3) cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs() is called to remove the (presumably
          outdated) states info from sysfs,
      (3) acpi_processor_get_power_info() is called, the first entry in the
          pr->power.states[] table is filled with zeros,
      (4) acpi_processor_setup_cpuidle() is called and it doesn't fill the
          first entry in pr->power.states[],
      (5) cpuidle_enable_device() is called,
      (6) __cpuidle_register_device() is _not_ called, since the device has
          already been registered,
      (7) Consequently, poll_idle_init() is _not_ called either,
      (8) cpuidle_add_state_sysfs() is called to create the sysfs attributes
          for the new states and it uses the bogus first table entry from
          acpi_processor_get_power_info() for creating state0.
      
      This problem is avoided if cpuidle_enable_device()
      unconditionally calls poll_idle_init().

      __get_cpu_var() can be replaced with this_cpu_read and will then use a single
      read instruction with implied address calculation to access the correct per cpu
      instance.
      
      However, the address of a per cpu variable passed to __this_cpu_read() cannot be

      Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var where the addres of the
      variable is not used.
      
      V3->V4:
      	- Move one instance of this_cpu_inc_return to a later patch

      cpuidle: extend cpuidle and menu governor to handle dynamic states · 71abbbf8
      Ai Li 提交于
      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: add a repeating pattern detector to the menu governor · 1f85f87d
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      Currently, the menu governor uses the (corrected) next timer as key item
      for predicting the idle duration.
      
      It turns out that there are specific cases where this breaks down: There
      are cases where we have a very repetitive pattern of idle durations, where
      the idle period is pretty much the same, for reasons completely unrelated
      to the next timer event.  Examples of such repeating patterns are network
      loads with irq mitigation, the mouse moving but in theory also the wifi
      beacons.
      
      This patch adds a relatively simple detector for such repeating patterns,
      where the standard deviation of the last 8 idle periods is compared to a
      threshold.
      
      With this extra predictor in place, measurements show that the DECAY
      factor can now be increased (the decaying average will now decay slower)
      to get an even more stable result.

      accurately represents what it actually does.
      
      Also, I added a string based ABI for users wanting to use a string

      accepted by the interface.  (someone asked me for it and I don't think

      cpuidle: Fix incorrect optimization · 1c6fe036
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      commit 672917dc ("cpuidle: menu governor: reduce latency on exit")
      added an optimization, where the analysis on the past idle period moved
      from the end of idle, to the beginning of the new idle.
      
      Unfortunately, this optimization had a bug where it zeroed one key
      variable for new use, that is needed for the analysis.  The fix is
      simple, zero the variable after doing the work from the previous idle.
      
      During the audit of the code that found this issue, another issue was
      also found; the ->measured_us data structure member is never set, a
      local variable is always used instead.

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      cpuidle: always return with interrupts enabled · 246eb7f0
      Kevin Hilman 提交于
      In the case where cpuidle_idle_call() returns before changing state due to
      a need_resched(), it was returning with IRQs disabled.
      
      The idle path assumes that the platform specific idle code returns with
      interrupts enabled (although this too is undocumented AFAICT) and on ARM
      we have a WARN_ON(!(irqs_disabled()) when returning from the idle loop, so
      the user-visible effects were only a warning since interrupts were
      eventually re-enabled later.
      
      On x86, this same problem exists, but there is no WARN_ON() to detect it.
      As on ARM, the interrupts are eventually re-enabled, so I'm not sure of
      any actual bugs triggered by this.  It's primarily a
      correctness/consistency fix.
      
      This patch ensures IRQs are (re)enabled before returning.

      cpuidle: menu governor: reduce latency on exit · 672917dc
      Corrado Zoccolo 提交于
      Move the state residency accounting and statistics computation off the hot
      exit path.
      
      On exit, the need to recompute statistics is recorded, and new statistics
      will be computed when menu_select is called again.
      
      The expected effect is to reduce processor wakeup latency from sleep
      (C-states).  We are speaking of few hundreds of cycles reduction out of a
      several microseconds latency (determined by the hardware transition), so
      it is difficult to measure.

      cpuidle: fix the menu governor to boost IO performance · 69d25870
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      Fix the menu idle governor which balances power savings, energy efficiency
      and performance impact.
      
      The reason for a reworked governor is that there have been serious
      performance issues reported with the existing code on Nehalem server
      systems.
      
      To show this I'm sure Andrew wants to see benchmark results:
      (benchmark is "fio", "no cstates" is using "idle=poll")
      
      		no cstates	current linux	new algorithm
      1 disk		107 Mb/s	85 Mb/s		105 Mb/s
      2 disks		215 Mb/s	123 Mb/s	209 Mb/s
      12 disks	590 Mb/s	320 Mb/s	585 Mb/s
      
      In various power benchmark measurements, no degredation was found by our
      measurement&diagnostics team.  Obviously a small percentage more power was
      used in the "fio" benchmark, due to the much higher performance.
      
      While it would be a novel idea to describe the new algorithm in this
      commit message, I cheaped out and described it in comments in the code
      instead.

      tracing, x86, cpuidle: Move the end point of a C state in the power tracer · 288f023e
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      The "end of a C state" trace point currently happens before
      the code runs that corrects the TSC for having stopped during idle.
      
      The result of this is that the timestamp of the end-of-C-state event
      is garbage on cpus where the TSC stops during idle.
      
      This patch moves the end point of the C state to after the timekeeping
      engine of the kernel has been corrected.

      hrtimer: peek at the timer queue just before going idle · 2e94d1f7
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      As part of going idle, we already look at the time of the next timer event to determine
      which C-state to select etc.
      
      This patch adds functionality that causes the timers that are past their
      soft expire time, to fire at this time, before we calculate the next wakeup
      time. This functionality will thus avoid wakeups by running timers before
      going idle rather than specially waking up for it.
