      cpuidle: support multiple drivers · bf4d1b5d
      Daniel Lezcano authored
      With the tegra3 and the big.LITTLE [1] new architectures, several cpus
      with different characteristics (latencies and states) can co-exists on the
      system.
      
      The cpuidle framework has the limitation of handling only identical cpus.
      
      This patch removes this limitation by introducing the multiple driver support
      for cpuidle.
      
      This option is configurable at compile time and should be enabled for the
      architectures mentioned above. So there is no impact for the other platforms
      if the option is disabled. The option defaults to 'n'. Note the multiple drivers
      support is also compatible with the existing drivers, even if just one driver is
      needed, all the cpu will be tied to this driver using an extra small chunk of
      processor memory.
      
      The multiple driver support use a per-cpu driver pointer instead of a global
      variable and the accessor to this variable are done from a cpu context.
      
      In order to keep the compatibility with the existing drivers, the function
      'cpuidle_register_driver' and 'cpuidle_unregister_driver' will register
      the specified driver for all the cpus.
      
      The semantic for the output of /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_driver
      remains the same except the driver name will be related to the current cpu.
      
      The /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]/cpuidle/driver/name files are added
      allowing to read the per cpu driver name.

      cpuidle: prepare the cpuidle core to handle multiple drivers · 13dd52f1
      Daniel Lezcano authored
      This patch is a preparation for the multiple cpuidle drivers support.
      
      As the next patch will introduce the multiple drivers with the Kconfig
      option and we want to keep the code clean and understandable, this patch
      defines a set of functions for encapsulating some common parts and splits
      what should be done under a lock from the rest.

      cpuidle: move driver checking within the lock section · 41682032
      Daniel Lezcano authored
      The code is racy and the check with cpuidle_curr_driver should be
      done under the lock.
      
      I don't find a path in the different drivers where that could happen
      because the arch specific drivers are written in such way it is not
      possible to register a driver while it is unregistered, except maybe
      in a very improbable case when "intel_idle" and "processor_idle" are
      competing. One could unregister a driver, while the other one is
      registering.

      cpuidle: fixup device.h header in cpuidle.h · 8f3e9953
      Daniel Lezcano authored
      The "struct device" is only used in sysfs.c.
      
      The other .c files including the private header "cpuidle.h"
      do not need to pull the entire headers tree from there as they
      don't manipulate the "struct device".
      
      This patch fixes this by moving the header inclusion to sysfs.c
      and adding a forward declaration for the struct device.

      cpuidle: Get typical recent sleep interval · c96ca4fb
      Youquan Song authored
      The function detect_repeating_patterns was not very useful for
      workloads with alternating long and short pauses, for example
      virtual machines handling network requests for each other (say
      a web and database server).
      
      Instead, try to find a recent sleep interval that is somewhere
      between the median and the mode sleep time, by discarding outliers
      to the up side and recalculating the average and standard deviation
      until that is no longer required.
      
      This should do something sane with a sleep interval series like:
      
      	200 180 210 10000 30 1000 170 200
      
      The current code would simply discard such a series, while the
      new code will guess a typical sleep interval just shy of 200.
      
      The original patch come from Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>.

      cpuidle: Set residency to 0 if target Cstate not enter · d73d68dc
      Youquan Song authored
      When cpuidle governor choose a C-state to enter for idle CPU, but it notice that
      there is tasks request to be executed. So the idle CPU will not really enter
      the target C-state and go to run task.
      
      In this situation, it will use the residency of previous really entered target
      C-states. Obviously, it is not reasonable.
      
      So, this patch fix it by set the target C-state residency to 0.

      cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure in general case · e11538d1
      Youquan Song authored
      The prediction for future is difficult and when the cpuidle governor prediction
      fails and govenor possibly choose the shallower C-state than it should. How to
      quickly notice and find the failure becomes important for power saving.
      
      The patch extends to general case that prediction logic get a small predicted
      residency, so it choose a shallow C-state though the expected residency is large
      . Once the prediction will be fail, the CPU will keep staying at shallow C-state
      for a long time. Acutally, the CPU has change enter into deep C-state.
      So when the expected residency is long enough but governor choose a shallow
      C-state, an timer will be added in order to monitor if the prediction failure.
      
      When C-state is waken up prior to the adding timer, the timer will be cancelled
      initiatively. When the timer is triggered and menu governor will quickly notice
      prediction failure and re-evaluates deeper C-states possibility.

      cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for repeat mode · 69a37bea
      Youquan Song authored
      The prediction for future is difficult and when the cpuidle governor prediction
      fails and govenor possibly choose the shallower C-state than it should. How to
      quickly notice and find the failure becomes important for power saving.
      
      cpuidle menu governor has a method to predict the repeat pattern if there are 8
      C-states residency which are continuous and the same or very close, so it will
      predict the next C-states residency will keep same residency time.
      
      There is a real case that turbostat utility (tools/power/x86/turbostat)
      at kernel 3.3 or early. turbostat utility will read 10 registers one by one at
      Sandybridge, so it will generate 10 IPIs to wake up idle CPUs. So cpuidle menu
       governor will predict it is repeat mode and there is another IPI wake up idle
       CPU soon, so it keeps idle CPU stay at C1 state even though CPU is totally
      idle. However, in the turbostat, following 10 registers reading is sleep 5
      seconds by default, so the idle CPU will keep at C1 for a long time though it is
       idle until break event occurs.
      In a idle Sandybridge system, run "./turbostat -v", we will notice that deep
      C-state dangles between "70% ~ 99%". After patched the kernel, we will notice
      deep C-state stays at >99.98%.
      
      In the patch, a timer is added when menu governor detects a repeat mode and
      choose a shallow C-state. The timer is set to a time out value that greater
      than predicted time, and we conclude repeat mode prediction failure if timer is
      triggered. When repeat mode happens as expected, the timer is not triggered
      and CPU waken up from C-states and it will cancel the timer initiatively.
      When repeat mode does not happen, the timer will be time out and menu governor
      will quickly notice that the repeat mode prediction fails and then re-evaluates
      deeper C-states possibility.
      
      Below is another case which will clearly show the patch much benefit:

      Get powertop V2 from git://github.com/fenrus75/powertop, build powertop.
      After build the above test application, then run it.
      Test plaform can be Intel Sandybridge or other recent platforms.
      #./idle_predict -l 10 &
      #./powertop
      
      We will find that deep C-state will dangle between 40%~100% and much time spent
      on C1 state. It is because menu governor wrongly predict that repeat mode
      is kept, so it will choose the C1 shallow C-state even though it has chance to
      sleep 1 second in deep C-state.
      
      While after patched the kernel, we find that deep C-state will keep >99.6%.

      The function needs the cpuidle_device which is initially passed to the

      The current code gets the struct device from the struct cpuidle_device,
      pass it the cpuidle_add_sysfs function. This function calls
      per_cpu(cpuidle_devices, cpu) to get the cpuidle_device.

      sparc64: Fix build with mix of modular vs. non-modular crypto drivers. · 226f7cea
      David S. Miller authored
      We tried linking in a single built object to hold the device table,
      but only works if all of the sparc64 crypto modules get built the same
      way (modular vs. non-modular).
      
      Just include the device ID stub into each driver source file so that
      the table gets compiled into the correct result in all cases.

      sparc: Support atomic64_dec_if_positive properly. · 193d2aad
      David S. Miller authored
      Sparc32 already supported it, as a consequence of using the
      generic atomic64 implementation.  And the sparc64 implementation
      is rather trivial.
      
      This allows us to set ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE for all
      of sparc, and avoid the annoying warning from lib/atomic64_test.c

      of/address: sparc: Declare of_address_to_resource() as an extern function for sparc again · 0bce04be
      Andreas Larsson authored
      This bug-fix makes sure that of_address_to_resource is defined extern for sparc
      so that the sparc-specific implementation of of_address_to_resource() is once
      again used when including include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. A
      number of drivers in mainline relies on this function working for sparc.
      
      The bug was introduced in a850a755, "of/address:
      add empty static inlines for !CONFIG_OF". Contrary to that commit title, the
      static inlines are added for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS, and CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never
      defined for sparc. This is good behavior for the other functions in
      include/linux/of_address.h, as the extern functions defined in
      drivers/of/address.c only gets linked when OF_ADDRESS is configured. However,
      for of_address_to_resource there exists a sparc-specific implementation in
      arch/sparc/arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c

      sparc: Add sparc support for platform_get_irq() · 5cf8f7db
      Andreas Larsson authored
      This adds sparc support for platform_get_irq that in the normal case use
      platform_get_resource() to get an irq. This standard approach fails for sparc as
      there are no resources of type IORESOURCE_IRQ for irqs for sparc.
      
      Cross platform drivers can then use this standard platform function and work on
      sparc instead of having to have a special case for sparc.
