      PM / QoS: unconditionally build the feature · a9b542ee
      Jean Pihet 提交于
      The PM QoS feature originally didn't depend on CONFIG_PM, which was
      mistakenly changed by commit e8db0be1
      
          PM QoS: Move and rename the implementation files
      
      Later, commit d020283d
      
          PM / QoS: CPU C-state breakage with PM Qos change
      
      partially fixed that by introducing a static inline definition of
      pm_qos_request(), but that still didn't allow user space to use
      the PM QoS interface if CONFIG_PM was unset (which had been possible
      before).  For this reason, remove the dependency of PM QoS on
      CONFIG_PM to make it work (as intended) with CONFIG_PM unset.

      PM / QoS: CPU C-state breakage with PM Qos change · d020283d
      Venkatesh Pallipadi 提交于
      Looks like change "PM QoS: Move and rename the implementation files"
      merged during the 3.2 development cycle made PM QoS depend on
      CONFIG_PM which depends on (PM_SLEEP || PM_RUNTIME).
      
      That breaks CPU C-states with kernels not having these CONFIGs, causing CPUs
      to spend time in Polling loop idle instead of going into deep C-states,
      consuming way way more power. This is with either acpi idle or intel idle
      enabled.
      
      Either CONFIG_PM should be enabled with any pm_qos users or
      the !CONFIG_PM pm_qos_request() should return sane defaults not to break
      the existing users. Here's is the patch for the latter option.

      PM / QoS: Introduce dev_pm_qos_add_ancestor_request() · 40a5f8be
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Some devices, like the I2C controller on SH7372, are not
      necessary for providing power to their children or forwarding
      wakeup signals (and generally interrupts) from them.  They are
      only needed by their children when there's some data to transfer,
      so they may be suspended for the majority of time and resumed
      on demand, when the children have data to send or receive.  For this
      purpose, however, their power.ignore_children flags have to be set,
      or the PM core wouldn't allow them to be suspended while their
      children were active.
      
      Unfortunately, in some situations it may take too much time to
      resume such devices so that they can assist their children in
      transferring data.  For example, if such a device belongs to a PM
      domain which goes to the "power off" state when that device is
      suspended, it may take too much time to restore power to the
      domain in response to the request from one of the device's
      children.  In that case, if the parent's resume time is critical,
      the domain should stay in the "power on" state, although it still may
      be desirable to power manage the parent itself (e.g. by manipulating
      its clock).
      
      In general, device PM QoS may be used to address this problem.
      Namely, if the device's children added PM QoS latency constraints
      for it, they would be able to prevent it from being put into an
      overly deep low-power state.  However, in some cases the devices
      needing to be serviced are not the immediate children of a
      "children-ignoring" device, but its grandchildren or even less
      direct descendants.  In those cases, the entity wanting to add a
      PM QoS request for a given device's ancestor that ignores its
      children will have to find it in the first place, so introduce a new
      helper function that may be used to achieve that.  This function,
      dev_pm_qos_add_ancestor_request(), will search for the first
      ancestor of the given device whose power.ignore_children flag is
      set and will add a device PM QoS latency request for that ancestor
      on behalf of the caller.  The request added this way may be removed
      with the help of dev_pm_qos_remove_request() in the future, like
      any other device PM QoS latency request.

      PM / Runtime: Use device PM QoS constraints (v2) · 00dc9ad1
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Make the runtime PM core use device PM QoS constraints to check if
      it is allowed to suspend a given device, so that an error code is
      returned if the device's own PM QoS constraint is negative or one of
      its children has already been suspended for too long.  If this is
      not the case, the maximum estimated time the device is allowed to be
      suspended, computed as the minimum of the device's PM QoS constraint
      and the PM QoS constraints of its children (reduced by the difference
      between the current time and their suspend times) is stored in a new
      device's PM field power.max_time_suspended_ns that can be used by
      the device's subsystem or PM domain to decide whether or not to put
      the device into lower-power (and presumably higher-latency) states
      later (if the constraint is 0, which means "no constraint", the
      power.max_time_suspended_ns is set to -1).
      
      Additionally, the time of execution of the subsystem-level
      .runtime_suspend() callback for the device is recorded in the new
      power.suspend_time field for later use by the device's subsystem or
      PM domain along with power.max_time_suspended_ns (it also is used
      by the core code when the device's parent is suspended).
      
      Introduce a new helper function,
      pm_runtime_update_max_time_suspended(), allowing subsystems and PM
      domains (or device drivers) to update the power.max_time_suspended_ns
      field, for example after changing the power state of a suspended
      device.

      PM / QoS: Add function dev_pm_qos_read_value() (v3) · 1a9a9152
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      To read the current PM QoS value for a given device we need to
      make sure that the device's power.constraints object won't be
      removed while we're doing that.  For this reason, put the
      operation under dev->power.lock and acquire the lock
      around the initialization and removal of power.constraints.
      
      Moreover, since we're using the value of power.constraints to
      determine whether or not the object is present, the
      power.constraints_state field isn't necessary any more and may be
      removed.  However, dev_pm_qos_add_request() needs to check if the
      device is being removed from the system before allocating a new
      PM QoS constraints object for it, so make it use the
      power.power_state field of struct device for this purpose.

      idle governor: Avoid lock acquisition to read pm_qos before entering idle · 333c5ae9
      Tim Chen 提交于
      Thanks to the reviews and comments by Rafael, James, Mark and Andi.
      Here's version 2 of the patch incorporating your comments and also some
      update to my previous patch comments.
      
      I noticed that before entering idle state, the menu idle governor will
      look up the current pm_qos target value according to the list of qos
      requests received.  This look up currently needs the acquisition of a
      lock to access the list of qos requests to find the qos target value,
      slowing down the entrance into idle state due to contention by multiple
      cpus to access this list.  The contention is severe when there are a lot
      of cpus waking and going into idle.  For example, for a simple workload
      that has 32 pair of processes ping ponging messages to each other, where
      64 cpu cores are active in test system, I see the following profile with
      37.82% of cpu cycles spent in contention of pm_qos_lock:
      
      -     37.82%          swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]          [k]
      _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
         - _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
            - 95.65% pm_qos_request
                 menu_select
                 cpuidle_idle_call
               - cpu_idle
                    99.98% start_secondary
      
      A better approach will be to cache the updated pm_qos target value so
      reading it does not require lock acquisition as in the patch below.
      With this patch the contention for pm_qos_lock is removed and I saw a
      2.2X increase in throughput for my message passing workload.

      PM QOS update · ed77134b
      Mark Gross 提交于
      This patch changes the string based list management to a handle base
      implementation to help with the hot path use of pm-qos, it also renames
      much of the API to use "request" as opposed to "requirement" that was
      used in the initial implementation.  I did this because request more
      accurately represents what it actually does.
      
      Also, I added a string based ABI for users wanting to use a string
      interface.  So if the user writes 0xDDDDDDDD formatted hex it will be
      accepted by the interface.  (someone asked me for it and I don't think
      it hurts anything.)
      
      This patch updates some documentation input I got from Randy.

      pm qos infrastructure and interface · d82b3518
      Mark Gross 提交于
      The following patch is a generalization of the latency.c implementation done
      by Arjan last year.  It provides infrastructure for more than one parameter,
      and exposes a user mode interface for processes to register pm_qos
      expectations of processes.
      
      This interface provides a kernel and user mode interface for registering
      performance expectations by drivers, subsystems and user space applications on
      one of the parameters.
      
      Currently we have {cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput} as
      the initial set of pm_qos parameters.
      
      The infrastructure exposes multiple misc device nodes one per implemented
      parameter.  The set of parameters implement is defined by pm_qos_power_init()
      and pm_qos_params.h.  This is done because having the available parameters
      being runtime configurable or changeable from a driver was seen as too easy to
      abuse.
      
      For each parameter a list of performance requirements is maintained along with
      an aggregated target value.  The aggregated target value is updated with
      changes to the requirement list or elements of the list.  Typically the
      aggregated target value is simply the max or min of the requirement values
      held in the parameter list elements.
      
      >From kernel mode the use of this interface is simple:
      
      pm_qos_add_requirement(param_id, name, target_value):
      
        Will insert a named element in the list for that identified PM_QOS
        parameter with the target value.  Upon change to this list the new target is
        recomputed and any registered notifiers are called only if the target value
        is now different.
      
      pm_qos_update_requirement(param_id, name, new_target_value):
      
        Will search the list identified by the param_id for the named list element
        and then update its target value, calling the notification tree if the
        aggregated target is changed.  with that name is already registered.
      
      pm_qos_remove_requirement(param_id, name):
      
        Will search the identified list for the named element and remove it, after
        removal it will update the aggregate target and call the notification tree
        if the target was changed as a result of removing the named requirement.
      
      >From user mode:
      
        Only processes can register a pm_qos requirement.  To provide for
        automatic cleanup for process the interface requires the process to register
        its parameter requirements in the following way:
      
        To register the default pm_qos target for the specific parameter, the
        process must open one of /dev/[cpu_dma_latency, network_latency,
        network_throughput]
      
        As long as the device node is held open that process has a registered
        requirement on the parameter.  The name of the requirement is
        "process_<PID>" derived from the current->pid from within the open system
        call.
      
        To change the requested target value the process needs to write a s32
        value to the open device node.  This translates to a
        pm_qos_update_requirement call.
      
        To remove the user mode request for a target value simply close the device
        node.
