Use ACPI _PPC notification to limit max P state driver will request. ACPI _PPC change notification is sent by BIOS to limit max P state in several cases: - Reduce impact of platform thermal condition - When Config TDP feature is used, a changed _PPC is sent to follow TDP change - Remote node managers in server want to control platform power via baseboard management controller (BMC) This change registers with ACPI processor performance lib so that _PPC changes are notified to cpufreq core, which in turns will result in call to .setpolicy() callback. Also the way _PSS table identifies a turbo frequency is not compatible to max turbo frequency in intel_pstate, so the very first entry in _PSS needs to be adjusted. This feature can be turned on by using kernel parameters: intel_pstate=support_acpi_ppc Signed-off-by:

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.

The way cpufreq_governor_start() initializes j_cdbs->prev_load is questionable. First off, j_cdbs->prev_cpu_wall used as a denominator in the computation may be zero. The case this happens is when get_cpu_idle_time_us() returns -1 and get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy() used to return that number is called exactly at the jiffies_64 wrap time. It is rather hard to trigger that error, but it is not impossible and it will just crash the kernel then. Second, j_cdbs->prev_load is computed as the average load during the entire time since the system started and it may not reflect the load in the previous sampling period (as it is expected to). That doesn't play well with the way dbs_update() uses that value. Namely, if the update time delta (wall_time) happens do be greater than twice the sampling rate on the first invocation of it, the initial value of j_cdbs->prev_load (which may be completely off) will be returned to the caller as the current load (unless it is equal to zero and unless another CPU sharing the same policy object has a greater load value). For this reason, notice that the prev_load field of struct cpu_dbs_info is only used by dbs_update() and only in that one place, so if cpufreq_governor_start() is modified to always initialize it to 0, it will make dbs_update() always compute the actual load first time it checks the update time delta against the doubled sampling rate (after initialization) and there won't be any side effects of it. Consequently, modify cpufreq_governor_start() as described. Fixes: 18b46abd (cpufreq: governor: Be friendly towards latency-sensitive bursty workloads) Signed-off-by:

The result returned by pid_calc() is subtracted from current_pstate (which is the P-State requested during the last period) in order to obtain the target P-State for the current iteration. However, current_pstate may not reflect the real current P-State of the CPU. In particular, that P-State may be higher because of the frequency sharing per module. The theory is: - The load is the percentage of time spent in C0 and is related to the average P-State during the same period. - The last requested P-State can be completely different than the average P-State (because of frequency sharing or throttling). - The P-State shift computed by the pid_calc is based on the load computed at average P-State, so the shift must be relative to this average P-State. Using the average P-State instead of current P-State improves power without significant performance penalty in cases when a task migrates from one core to other core sharing frequency and voltage.

Since governor operations are generally skipped if cpufreq_suspended is set, cpufreq_start_governor() should do nothing in that case. That function is called in the cpufreq_online() path, and may also be called from cpufreq_offline() in some cases, which are invoked by the nonboot CPUs disabing/enabling code during system suspend to RAM and resume. That happens when all devices have been suspended, so if the cpufreq driver relies on things like I2C to get the current frequency, it may not be ready to do that then. To prevent problems from happening for this reason, make cpufreq_update_current_freq(), which is the only function invoked by cpufreq_start_governor() that doesn't check cpufreq_suspended already, return 0 upfront if cpufreq_suspended is set.

Jörg Otte reports that commit a4675fbc (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with utilization update callbacks) caused the CPUs in his Haswell-based system to stay in the very high frequency region even if the system is completely idle. That turns out to be an existing problem in the intel_pstate driver's P-state selection algorithm for Core processors. Namely, all decisions made by that algorithm are based on the average frequency of the CPU between sampling events and on the P-state requested on the last invocation, so it may get stuck at a very hight frequency even if the utilization of the CPU is very low (in fact, it may get stuck in a inadequate P-state regardless of the CPU utilization). The only way to kick it out of that limbo is a sufficiently long idle period (3 times longer than the prescribed sampling interval), but if that doesn't happen often enough (eg. due to a timing change like after the above commit), the P-state of the CPU may be inadequate pretty much all the time. To address the most egregious manifestations of that issue, reset the core_busy value used to determine the next P-state to request if the utilization of the CPU, determined with the help of the MPERF feedback register and the TSC, is below 1%.

There are multiple places in intel_pstate where int_tofp() is applied to both arguments of div_fp(), but this is pointless, because int_tofp() simply shifts its argument to the left by FRAC_BITS which mathematically is equivalent to multuplication by 2^FRAC_BITS, so if this is done to both arguments of a division, the extra factors will cancel each other during that operation anyway. Drop the pointless int_tofp() applied to div_fp() arguments throughout the driver. Signed-off-by: -

Multiple platforms are using the generic cpufreq-dt driver now, and all of them are required to create a platform device with name "cpufreq-dt", in order to get the cpufreq-dt probed. Many of them do it from platform code, others have special drivers just to do that. It would be more sensible to do this at a generic place, where all such platform can mark their entries. This patch adds a separate file to get this device created. Currently the compat list of platforms that we support is empty, and will be filled in as and when we move platforms to use it. It always compiles as part of the kernel and so doesn't need a module-exit operation. Signed-off-by:

Lets remove the modular and unused code here, so that when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Due to differences in the cpufreq core's handling of runtime CPU offline and nonboot CPUs disabling during system suspend-to-RAM, fast frequency switching gets disabled after a suspend-to-RAM and resume cycle on all of the nonboot CPUs. To prevent that from happening, move the invocation of cpufreq_disable_fast_switch() from cpufreq_exit_governor() to sugov_exit(), as the schedutil governor is the only user of fast frequency switching today anyway. That simply prevents cpufreq_disable_fast_switch() from being called without invoking the ->governor callback for the CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT event (which happens during system suspend now).
