Since it is possible to obtain a pointer to struct dbs_governor from a pointer to the struct governor embedded in it with the help of container_of(), the additional gov pointer in struct dbs_data isn't really necessary. Drop that pointer and make the code using it reach the dbs_governor object via policy->governor. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

Since it is possible to obtain a pointer to struct dbs_governor from a pointer to the struct governor embedded in it via container_of(), the second argument of cpufreq_governor_init() is not necessary. Accordingly, cpufreq_governor_dbs() doesn't need its second argument either and the ->governor callbacks for both the ondemand and conservative governors may be set to cpufreq_governor_dbs() directly.

For the ondemand and conservative governors (generally, governors that use the common code in cpufreq_governor.c), there are two static data structures representing the governor, the struct governor structure (the interface to the cpufreq core) and the struct common_dbs_data one (the interface to the cpufreq_governor.c code). There's no fundamental reason why those two structures have to be separate. Moreover, if the struct governor one is included into struct common_dbs_data, it will be possible to reach the latter from the policy via its policy->governor pointer, so it won't be necessary to pass a separate pointer to it around. For this reason, embed struct governor in struct common_dbs_data. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

Every governor relying on the common code in cpufreq_governor.c has to provide its own mutex in struct common_dbs_data. However, there actually is no need to have a separate mutex per governor for this purpose, they may be using the same global mutex just fine. Accordingly, introduce a single common mutex for that and drop the mutex field from struct common_dbs_data. That at least will ensure that the mutex is always present and initialized regardless of what the particular governors do. Another benefit is that the common code does not need a pointer to a governor-related structure to get to the mutex which sometimes helps. Finally, it makes the code generally easier to follow.

Instead of using a per-CPU deferrable timer for queuing up governor work items, register a utilization update callback that will be invoked from the scheduler on utilization changes. The sampling rate is still the same as what was used for the deferrable timers and the added irq_work overhead should be offset by the eliminated timers overhead, so in theory the functional impact of this patch should not be significant.

cpufreq governors evaluate load at sampling rate and based on that they update frequency for a group of CPUs belonging to the same cpufreq policy. This is required to be done in a single thread for all policy->cpus, but because we don't want to wakeup idle CPUs to do just that, we use deferrable work for this. If we would have used a single delayed deferrable work for the entire policy, there were chances that the CPU required to run the handler can be in idle and we might end up not changing the frequency for the entire group with load variations. And so we were forced to keep per-cpu works, and only the one that expires first need to do the real work and others are rescheduled for next sampling time. We have been using the more complex solution until now, where we used a delayed deferrable work for this, which is a combination of a timer and a work. This could be made lightweight by keeping per-cpu deferred timers with a single work item, which is scheduled by the first timer that expires. This patch does just that and here are important changes: - The timer handler will run in irq context and so we need to use a spin_lock instead of the timer_mutex. And so a separate timer_lock is created. This also makes the use of the mutex and lock quite clear, as we know what exactly they are protecting. - A new field 'skip_work' is added to track when the timer handlers can queue a work. More comments present in code. Suggested-by: NRafael J.

We are comparing policy->governor against cpufreq_gov_ondemand to make sure that we update sampling rate only for the concerned CPUs. But that isn't enough. In case of governor_per_policy, there can be multiple instances of ondemand governor and we will always end up updating all of them with current code. What we rather need to do, is to compare dbs_data with poilcy->governor_data, which will match only for the policies governed by dbs_data. This code is also racy as the governor might be getting stopped at that time and we may end up scheduling work for a policy, which we have just disabled. Fix that by protecting the entire function with &od_dbs_cdata.mutex, which will prevent against races with policy START/STOP/etc. After these locks are in place, we can safely get the policy via per-cpu dbs_info.

'timer_mutex' is required to sync work-handlers of policy->cpus. update_sampling_rate() is just canceling the works and queuing them again. This isn't protecting anything at all in update_sampling_rate() and is not gonna be of any use.

There are several races reported in cpufreq core around governors (only ondemand and conservative) by different people. There are at least two race scenarios present in governor code: (a) Concurrent access/updates of governor internal structures. It is possible that fields such as 'dbs_data->usage_count', etc. are accessed simultaneously for different policies using same governor structure (i.e. CPUFREQ_HAVE_GOVERNOR_PER_POLICY flag unset). And because of this we can dereference bad pointers. For example consider a system with two CPUs with separate 'struct cpufreq_policy' instances. CPU0 governor: ondemand and CPU1: powersave. CPU0 switching to powersave and CPU1 to ondemand: CPU0 CPU1 store* store* cpufreq_governor_exit() cpufreq_governor_init() dbs_data = cdata->gdbs_data; if (!--dbs_data->usage_count) kfree(dbs_data); dbs_data->usage_count++; *Bad pointer dereference* There are other races possible between EXIT and START/STOP/LIMIT as well. Its really complicated. (b) Switching governor state in bad sequence: For example trying to switch a governor to START state, when the governor is in EXIT state. There are some checks present in __cpufreq_governor() but they aren't sufficient as they compare events against 'policy->governor_enabled', where as we need to take governor's state into account, which can be used by multiple policies. These two issues need to be solved separately and the responsibility should be properly divided between cpufreq and governor core. The first problem is more about the governor core, as it needs to protect its structures properly. And the second problem should be fixed in cpufreq core instead of governor, as its all about sequence of events. This patch is trying to solve only the first problem. There are two types of data we need to protect, - 'struct common_dbs_data': No matter what, there is going to be a single copy of this per governor. - 'struct dbs_data': With CPUFREQ_HAVE_GOVERNOR_PER_POLICY flag set, we will have per-policy copy of this data, otherwise a single copy. Because of such complexities, the mutex present in 'struct dbs_data' is insufficient to solve our problem. For example we need to protect fetching of 'dbs_data' from different structures at the beginning of cpufreq_governor_dbs(), to make sure it isn't currently being updated. This can be fixed if we can guarantee serialization of event parsing code for an individual governor. This is best solved with a mutex per governor, and the placeholder for that is 'struct common_dbs_data'. And so this patch moves the mutex from 'struct dbs_data' to 'struct common_dbs_data' and takes it at the beginning and drops it at the end of cpufreq_governor_dbs().

Currently, ondemand calculates the target frequency proportional to load using the formula: Target frequency = C * load where C = policy->cpuinfo.max_freq / 100 Though, in many cases, the minimum available frequency is pretty high and the above calculation introduces a dead band from load 0 to 100 * policy->cpuinfo.min_freq / policy->cpuinfo.max_freq where the target frequency is always calculated to less than policy->cpuinfo.min_freq and the minimum frequency is selected. For example: on Intel i7-3770 @ 3.4GHz the policy->cpuinfo.min_freq = 1600000 and the policy->cpuinfo.max_freq = 3400000 (without turbo). Thus, the CPU starts to scale up at a load above 47. On quad core 1500MHz Krait the policy->cpuinfo.min_freq = 384000 and the policy->cpuinfo.max_freq = 1512000. Thus, the CPU starts to scale at load above 25. Change the calculation of target frequency to eliminate the above effect using the formula: Target frequency = A + B * load where A = policy->cpuinfo.min_freq and B = (policy->cpuinfo.max_freq - policy->cpuinfo->min_freq) / 100 This will map load values 0 to 100 linearly to cpuinfo.min_freq to cpuinfo.max_freq. Also, use the CPUFREQ_RELATION_C in __cpufreq_driver_target to select the closest frequency in frequency_table. This is necessary to avoid selection of minimum frequency only when load equals to 0. It will also help for selection of frequencies using a more 'fair' criterion. Tables below show the difference in selected frequency for specific values of load without and with this patch.

The ondemand governor calculates load in terms of frequency and increases it only if load_freq is greater than up_threshold multiplied by the current or average frequency. This appears to produce oscillations of frequency between min and max because, for example, a relatively small load can easily saturate minimum frequency and lead the CPU to the max. Then, it will decrease back to the min due to small load_freq. Change the calculation method of load and target frequency on the basis of the following two observations: - Load computation should not depend on the current or average measured frequency. For example, absolute load of 80% at 100MHz is not necessarily equivalent to 8% at 1000MHz in the next sampling interval. - It should be possible to increase the target frequency to any value present in the frequency table proportional to the absolute load, rather than to the max only, so that: Target frequency = C * load where we take C = policy->cpuinfo.max_freq / 100. Tested on Intel i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz and on Quad core 1500MHz Krait. Phoronix benchmark of Linux Kernel Compilation 3.1 test shows an increase ~1.5% in performance. cpufreq_stats (time_in_state) shows that middle frequencies are used more, with this patch. Highest and lowest frequencies were used less by ~9%. [rjw: We have run multiple other tests on kernels with this change applied and in the vast majority of cases it turns out that the resulting performance improvement also leads to reduced consumption of energy. The change is additionally justified by the overall simplification of the code in question.] Signed-off-by: NStratos Karafotis <stratosk@semaphore.gr> Acked-by: NViresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

Currently we always calculate the CPU iowait time and add it to idle time. If we are in ondemand and we use io_is_busy, we re-calculate iowait time and we subtract it from idle time. With this patch iowait time is calculated only when necessary avoiding the double call to get_cpu_iowait_time_us. We use a parameter in function get_cpu_idle_time to distinguish when the iowait time will be added to idle time or not, without the need of keeping the prev_io_wait.

Following patch has introduced per cpu timers or works for ondemand and conservative governors. commit 2abfa876 Author: Rickard Andersson <rickard.andersson@stericsson.com> Date: Thu Dec 27 14:55:38 2012 +0000 cpufreq: handle SW coordinated CPUs This causes additional unnecessary interrupts on all cpus when the load is recently evaluated by any other cpu. i.e. When load is recently evaluated by cpu x, we don't really need any other cpu to evaluate this load again for the next sampling_rate time. Some sort of code is present to avoid that but we are still getting timer interrupts for all cpus. A good way of avoiding this would be to modify delays for all cpus (policy->cpus) whenever any cpu has evaluated load. This patch does this change and some related code cleanup.

Because we have per cpu timer now, we check if we need to evaluate load again or not (In case it is recently evaluated). Here the 2nd cpu which got timer interrupt updates core_dbs_info->sample_type irrespective of load evaluation is required or not. Which is wrong as the first cpu is dependent on this variable set to an older value. Moreover it would be best in this case to schedule 2nd cpu's timer to sampling_rate instead of freq_lo or hi as that must be managed by the other cpu. In case the other cpu idles in between then also we wouldn't loose much power. Signed-off-by: NViresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NRafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Currently, there can't be multiple instances of single governor_type. If we have a multi-package system, where we have multiple instances of struct policy (per package), we can't have multiple instances of same governor. i.e. We can't have multiple instances of ondemand governor for multiple packages. Governors directory in sysfs is created at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ governor-name/. Which again reflects that there can be only one instance of a governor_type in the system. This is a bottleneck for multicluster system, where we want different packages to use same governor type, but with different tunables. This patch uses the infrastructure provided by earlier patch and implements init/exit routines for ondemand and conservative governors.

In order to avoid the calculation of up_threshold - down_differential every time that the frequency must be decreased, we replace the down_differential tuner with the adj_up_threshold which keeps the difference across multiple checks. Update the adj_up_threshold only when the up_theshold is also updated.

Modify update_sampling_rate() to check, and eventually immediately schedule, all CPU's do_dbs_timer delayed work.
