cpuidle: remove the power_specified field in the driver

2013-01-15T13:18:04+00:00

We realized that the power usage field is never filled and when it
is filled for tegra, the power_specified flag is not set causing all
of these values to be reset when the driver is initialized with
set_power_state().

However, the power_specified flag can be simply removed under the
assumption that the states are always backward sorted, which is the
case with the current code.

This change allows the menu governor select function and the
cpuidle_play_dead() to be simplified.  Moreover, the
set_power_states() function can removed as it does not make sense
any more.

Drop the power_specified flag from struct cpuidle_driver and make
the related changes as described above.

As a consequence, this also fixes the bug where on the dynamic
C-states system, the power fields are not initialized.

cpuidle: fix number of initialized/destroyed states

2013-01-11T22:20:09+00:00

Commit bf4d1b5ddb78f86078ac6ae0415802d5f0c68f92 (cpuidle: support
multiple drivers) changed the number of initialized state kobjects
in cpuidle_add_state_sysfs() from device->state_count to
drv->state_count, but left device->state_count in
cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs().  The values of these two fields may be
different, in which case a NULL pointer dereference may happen in
cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs(), for example.  Fix this problem by making
cpuidle_add_state_sysfs() use device->state_count too (which restores
the original behavior of it).

cpuidle: fix lock contention in the idle path

2013-01-03T12:11:06+00:00

Commit bf4d1b5 (cpuidle: support multiple drivers) introduced
locking in cpuidle_get_cpu_driver(), which is used in the
idle_call() function.

This leads to a contention problem with a large number of CPUs,
because they all try to run the idle routine at the same time.

The lock can be safely removed because of how is used the cpuidle
API.  Namely, cpuidle_register_driver() is called first, but the
cpuidle idle function is not entered before cpuidle_register_device()
is called, because the cpuidle device is not enabled then. Moreover,
cpuidle_unregister_driver(), which would reset the driver value to
NULL, is not called before cpuidle_unregister_device().

All of the cpuidle drivers use the API in the same way.

In general, a cleanup around the lock is necessary and a proper
refcounting mechanism should be used to ensure the consistency in the
API (for example, cpuidle_unregister_driver() should fail if the
driver's refcount is not 0). However, these modifications will require
some code reorganization and rewrite which will be too intrusive for
a fix.

For this reason, fix the contention problem introduced by commit
bf4d1b5 by simply removing the locking from cpuidle_get_cpu_driver(),
which restores the original behavior of that routine.

cpuidle: Fix finding state with min power_usage

2013-01-03T12:11:05+00:00

Since cpuidle_state.power_usage is a signed value, use INT_MAX (instead
of -1) to init the local copies so that functions that tries to find
cpuidle states with minimum power usage works correctly even if they use
non-negative values.

Merge tag 'soc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc

2012-12-12T20:05:15+00:00

Pull ARM SoC updates from Olof Johansson:
 "This contains the bulk of new SoC development for this merge window.

  Two new platforms have been added, the sunxi platforms (Allwinner A1x
  SoCs) by Maxime Ripard, and a generic Broadcom platform for a new
  series of ARMv7 platforms from them, where the hope is that we can
  keep the platform code generic enough to have them all share one mach
  directory.  The new Broadcom platform is contributed by Christian
  Daudt.

  Highbank has grown support for Calxeda's next generation of hardware,
  ECX-2000.

  clps711x has seen a lot of cleanup from Alexander Shiyan, and he's
  also taken on maintainership of the platform.

  Beyond this there has been a bunch of work from a number of people on
  converting more platforms to IRQ domains, pinctrl conversion, cleanup
  and general feature enablement across most of the active platforms."

Fix up trivial conflicts as per Olof.

cpuidle: Measure idle state durations with monotonic clock

2012-11-27T13:17:58+00:00

Many cpuidle drivers measure their time spent in an idle state by
reading the wallclock time before and after idling and calculating the
difference. This leads to erroneous results when the wallclock time gets
updated by another processor in the meantime, adding that clock
adjustment to the idle state's time counter.

If the clock adjustment was negative, the result is even worse due to an
erroneous cast from int to unsigned long long of the last_residency
variable. The negative 32 bit integer will zero-extend and result in a
forward time jump of roughly four billion milliseconds or 1.3 hours on
the idle state residency counter.

This patch changes all affected cpuidle drivers to either use the
monotonic clock for their measurements or make use of the generic time
measurement wrapper in cpuidle.c, which was already working correctly.
Some superfluous CLIs/STIs in the ACPI code are removed (interrupts
should always already be disabled before entering the idle function, and
not get reenabled until the generic wrapper has performed its second
measurement). It also removes the erroneous cast, making sure that
negative residency values are applied correctly even though they should
not appear anymore.

cpuidle: support multiple drivers

2012-11-14T23:34:23+00:00

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

2012-11-14T23:34:22+00:00

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.
