ARM: omap: allow building omap44xx without SMP

2012-08-23T15:16:42+00:00

The new omap4 cpuidle implementation currently requires
ARCH_NEEDS_CPU_IDLE_COUPLED, which only works on SMP.

This patch makes it possible to build a non-SMP kernel
for that platform. This is not normally desired for
end-users but can be useful for testing.

Without this patch, building rand-0y2jSKT results in:

drivers/cpuidle/coupled.c: In function 'cpuidle_coupled_poke':
drivers/cpuidle/coupled.c:317:3: error: implicit declaration of function '__smp_call_function_single' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

It's not clear if this patch is the best solution for
the problem at hand. I have made sure that we can now
build the kernel in all configurations, but that does
not mean it will actually work on an OMAP44xx.

PM / cpuidle: System resume hang fix with cpuidle

2012-07-10T19:34:49+00:00

On certain bios, resume hangs if cpus are allowed to enter idle states
during suspend [1].

This was fixed in apci idle driver [2].But intel_idle driver does not
have this fix. Thus instead of replicating the fix in both the idle
drivers, or in more platform specific idle drivers if needed, the
more general cpuidle infrastructure could handle this.

A suspend callback in cpuidle_driver could handle this fix. But
a cpuidle_driver provides only basic functionalities like platform idle
state detection capability and mechanisms to support entry and exit
into CPU idle states. All other cpuidle functions are found in the
cpuidle generic infrastructure for good reason that all cpuidle
drivers, irrepective of their platforms will support these functions.

One option therefore would be to register a suspend callback in cpuidle
which handles this fix. This could be called through a PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE
notifier. But this is too generic a notfier for a driver to handle.

Also, ideally the job of cpuidle is not to handle side effects of suspend.
It should expose the interfaces which "handle cpuidle 'during' suspend"
or any other operation, which the subsystems call during that respective
operation.

The fix demands that during suspend, no cpus should be allowed to enter
deep C-states. The interface cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler() in cpuidle
ensures that. Not just that it also kicks all the cpus which are already
in idle out of their idle states which was being done during cpu hotplug
through a CPU_DYING_FROZEN callbacks.

Now the question arises about when during suspend should
cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler() be called. Since we are dealing with
drivers it seems best to call this function during dpm_suspend().
Delaying the call till dpm_suspend_noirq() does no harm, as long as it is
before cpu_hotplug_begin() to avoid race conditions with cpu hotpulg
operations. In dpm_suspend_noirq(), it would be wise to place this call
before suspend_device_irqs() to avoid ugly interactions with the same.

Ananlogously, during resume.

ACPI: intel_idle : break dependency between modules

2012-07-05T20:37:47+00:00

When the system is booted with some cpus offline, the idle
driver is not initialized. When a cpu is set online, the
acpi code call the intel idle init function. Unfortunately
this code introduce a dependency between intel_idle and acpi.

This patch is intended to remove this dependency by using the
notifier of intel_idle. This patch has the benefit of
encapsulating the intel_idle driver and remove some exported
functions.

PM / Domains: Add preliminary support for cpuidle, v2

2012-07-03T17:07:42+00:00

On some systems there are CPU cores located in the same power
domains as I/O devices.  Then, power can only be removed from the
domain if all I/O devices in it are not in use and the CPU core
is idle.  Add preliminary support for that to the generic PM domains
framework.

First, the platform is expected to provide a cpuidle driver with one
extra state designated for use with the generic PM domains code.
This state should be initially disabled and its exit_latency value
should be set to whatever time is needed to bring up the CPU core
itself after restoring power to it, not including the domain's
power on latency.  Its .enter() callback should point to a procedure
that will remove power from the domain containing the CPU core at
the end of the CPU power transition.

The remaining characteristics of the extra cpuidle state, referred to
as the "domain" cpuidle state below, (e.g. power usage, target
residency) should be populated in accordance with the properties of
the hardware.

Next, the platform should execute genpd_attach_cpuidle() on the PM
domain containing the CPU core.  That will cause the generic PM
domains framework to treat that domain in a special way such that:

 * When all devices in the domain have been suspended and it is about
   to be turned off, the states of the devices will be saved, but
   power will not be removed from the domain.  Instead, the "domain"
   cpuidle state will be enabled so that power can be removed from
   the domain when the CPU core is idle and the state has been chosen
   as the target by the cpuidle governor.

 * When the first I/O device in the domain is resumed and
   __pm_genpd_poweron(() is called for the first time after
   power has been removed from the domain, the "domain" cpuidle
   state will be disabled to avoid subsequent surprise power removals
   via cpuidle.

The effective exit_latency value of the "domain" cpuidle state
depends on the time needed to bring up the CPU core itself after
restoring power to it as well as on the power on latency of the
domain containing the CPU core.  Thus the "domain" cpuidle state's
exit_latency has to be recomputed every time the domain's power on
latency is updated, which may happen every time power is restored
to the domain, if the measured power on latency is greater than
the latency stored in the corresponding generic_pm_domain structure.

cpuidle: move field disable from per-driver to per-cpu

2012-07-03T17:05:31+00:00

Andrew J.Schorr raises a question.  When he changes the disable setting on
a single CPU, it affects all the other CPUs.  Basically, currently, the
disable field is per-driver instead of per-cpu.  All the C states of the
same driver are shared by all CPU in the same machine.

The patch changes the `disable' field to per-cpu, so we could set this
separately for each cpu.

cpuidle: coupled: add parallel barrier function

2012-06-02T04:49:36+00:00

Adds cpuidle_coupled_parallel_barrier, which can be used by coupled
cpuidle state enter functions to handle resynchronization after
determining if any cpu needs to abort.  The normal use case will
be:

static bool abort_flag;
static atomic_t abort_barrier;

int arch_cpuidle_enter(struct cpuidle_device *dev, ...)
{
	if (arch_turn_off_irq_controller()) {
	   	/* returns an error if an irq is pending and would be lost
		   if idle continued and turned off power */
		abort_flag = true;
	}

	cpuidle_coupled_parallel_barrier(dev, &abort_barrier);

	if (abort_flag) {
	   	/* One of the cpus didn't turn off it's irq controller */
	   	arch_turn_on_irq_controller();
		return -EINTR;
	}

	/* continue with idle */
	...
}

This will cause all cpus to abort idle together if one of them needs
to abort.

cpuidle: add support for states that affect multiple cpus

2012-06-02T04:49:09+00:00

On some ARM SMP SoCs (OMAP4460, Tegra 2, and probably more), the
cpus cannot be independently powered down, either due to
sequencing restrictions (on Tegra 2, cpu 0 must be the last to
power down), or due to HW bugs (on OMAP4460, a cpu powering up
will corrupt the gic state unless the other cpu runs a work
around).  Each cpu has a power state that it can enter without
coordinating with the other cpu (usually Wait For Interrupt, or
WFI), and one or more "coupled" power states that affect blocks
shared between the cpus (L2 cache, interrupt controller, and
sometimes the whole SoC).  Entering a coupled power state must
be tightly controlled on both cpus.

The easiest solution to implementing coupled cpu power states is
to hotplug all but one cpu whenever possible, usually using a
cpufreq governor that looks at cpu load to determine when to
enable the secondary cpus.  This causes problems, as hotplug is an
expensive operation, so the number of hotplug transitions must be
minimized, leading to very slow response to loads, often on the
order of seconds.

This file implements an alternative solution, where each cpu will
wait in the WFI state until all cpus are ready to enter a coupled
state, at which point the coupled state function will be called
on all cpus at approximately the same time.

Once all cpus are ready to enter idle, they are woken by an smp
cross call.  At this point, there is a chance that one of the
cpus will find work to do, and choose not to enter idle.  A
final pass is needed to guarantee that all cpus will call the
power state enter function at the same time.  During this pass,
each cpu will increment the ready counter, and continue once the
ready counter matches the number of online coupled cpus.  If any
cpu exits idle, the other cpus will decrement their counter and
retry.

To use coupled cpuidle states, a cpuidle driver must:

   Set struct cpuidle_device.coupled_cpus to the mask of all
   coupled cpus, usually the same as cpu_possible_mask if all cpus
   are part of the same cluster.  The coupled_cpus mask must be
   set in the struct cpuidle_device for each cpu.

   Set struct cpuidle_device.safe_state to a state that is not a
   coupled state.  This is usually WFI.

   Set CPUIDLE_FLAG_COUPLED in struct cpuidle_state.flags for each
   state that affects multiple cpus.

   Provide a struct cpuidle_state.enter function for each state
   that affects multiple cpus.  This function is guaranteed to be
   called on all cpus at approximately the same time.  The driver
   should ensure that the cpus all abort together if any cpu tries
   to abort once the function is called.

update1:

cpuidle: coupled: fix count of online cpus

online_count was never incremented on boot, and was also counting
cpus that were not part of the coupled set.  Fix both issues by
introducting a new function that counts online coupled cpus, and
call it from register as well as the hotplug notifier.

update2:

cpuidle: coupled: fix decrementing ready count

cpuidle_coupled_set_not_ready sometimes refuses to decrement the
ready count in order to prevent a race condition.  This makes it
unsuitable for use when finished with idle.  Add a new function
cpuidle_coupled_set_done that decrements both the ready count and
waiting count, and call it after idle is complete.
