This function has a few notable +shortcomings, which led to its deprecation and replacement by gpiomux: + +The 'disable' parameter: Setting the second parameter to +gpio_tlmm_config to GPIO_CFG_DISABLE tells the peripheral +processor in charge of the subsystem to perform a look-up into a +low-power table and apply the low-power/sleep setting for the pin. +As the msm family evolved this became problematic. Not all pins +have sleep settings, not all peripheral processors will accept requests +to apply said sleep settings, and not all msm targets have their gpio +subsystems managed by a peripheral processor. In order to get consistent +behavior on all targets, drivers are forced to ignore this parameter, +rendering it useless. + +The 'direction' flag: for all mux-settings other than raw-gpio (0), +the output-enable bit of a gpio is hard-wired to a known +input (usually VDD or ground). For those settings, the direction flag +is meaningless at best, and deceptive at worst. In addition, using the +direction flag to change output-enable (OE) directly can cause trouble in +gpiolib, which has no visibility into gpio direction changes made +in this way. Direction control in gpio mode should be made through gpiolib. + +Key Features of gpiomux +======================= + +- A consistent interface across all generations of msm. Drivers can expect +the same results on every target. +- gpiomux plays nicely with gpiolib. Functions that should belong to gpiolib +are left to gpiolib and not duplicated here. gpiomux is written with the +intent that gpio_chips will call gpiomux reference-counting methods +from their request() and free() hooks, providing full integration. +- Tabular configuration. Instead of having to call gpio_tlmm_config +hundreds of times, gpio configuration is placed in a single table. +- Per-gpio sleep. Each gpio is individually reference counted, allowing only +those lines which are in use to be put in high-power states. +- 0 means 'do nothing': all flags are designed so that the default memset-zero +equates to a sensible default of 'no configuration', preventing users +from having to provide hundreds of 'no-op' configs for unused or +unwanted lines. + +Usage +===== + +To use gpiomux, provide configuration information for relevant gpio lines +in the msm_gpiomux_configs table. Since a 0 equates to "unconfigured", +only those lines to be managed by gpiomux need to be specified. Here +is a completely fictional example: + +struct msm_gpiomux_config msm_gpiomux_configs[GPIOMUX_NGPIOS] = { + [12] = { + .active = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_DRV_8MA | GPIOMUX_FUNC_1, + .suspended = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_PULL_DOWN, + }, + [34] = { + .suspended = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_PULL_DOWN, + }, +}; + +To indicate that a gpio is in use, call msm_gpiomux_get() to increase +its reference count. To decrease the reference count, call msm_gpiomux_put(). + +The effect of this configuration is as follows: + +When the system boots, gpios 12 and 34 will be initialized with their +'suspended' configurations. All other gpios, which were left unconfigured, +will not be touched. + +When msm_gpiomux_get() is called on gpio 12 to raise its reference count +above 0, its active configuration will be applied. Since no other gpio +line has a valid active configuration, msm_gpiomux_get() will have no +effect on any other line. + +When msm_gpiomux_put() is called on gpio 12 or 34 to drop their reference +count to 0, their suspended configurations will be applied. +Since no other gpio line has a valid suspended configuration, no other +gpio line will be effected by msm_gpiomux_put(). Since gpio 34 has no valid +active configuration, this is effectively a no-op for gpio 34 as well, +with one small caveat, see the section "About Output-Enable Settings". + +All of the GPIOMUX_VALID flags may seem like unnecessary overhead, but +they address some important issues. As unused entries (all those +except 12 and 34) are zero-filled, gpiomux needs a way to distinguish +the used fields from the unused. In addition, the all-zero pattern +is a valid configuration! Therefore, gpiomux defines an additional bit +which is used to indicate when a field is used. This has the pleasant +side-effect of allowing calls to msm_gpiomux_write to use '0' to indicate +that a value should not be changed: + + msm_gpiomux_write(0, GPIOMUX_VALID, 0); + +replaces the active configuration of gpio 0 with an all-zero configuration, +but leaves the suspended configuration as it was. + +Static Configurations +===================== + +To install a static configuration, which is applied at boot and does +not change after that, install a configuration with a suspended component +but no active component, as in the previous example: + + [34] = { + .suspended = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_PULL_DOWN, + }, + +The suspended setting is applied during boot, and the lack of any valid +active setting prevents any other setting from being applied at runtime. +If other subsystems attempting to access the line is a concern, one could +*really* anchor the configuration down by calling msm_gpiomux_get on the +line at initialization to move the line into active mode. With the line +held, it will never be re-suspended, and with no valid active configuration, +no new configurations will be applied. + +But then, if having other subsystems grabbing for the line is truly a concern, +it should be reserved with gpio_request instead, which carries an implicit +msm_gpiomux_get. + +gpiomux and gpiolib +=================== + +It is expected that msm gpio_chips will call msm_gpiomux_get() and +msm_gpiomux_put() from their request and free hooks, like this fictional +example: + +static int request(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned offset) +{ + return msm_gpiomux_get(chip->base + offset); +} + +static void free(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned offset) +{ + msm_gpiomux_put(chip->base + offset); +} + + ...somewhere in a gpio_chip declaration... + .request = request, + .free = free, + +This provides important functionality: +- It guarantees that a gpio line will have its 'active' config applied + when the line is requested, and will not be suspended while the line + remains requested; and +- It guarantees that gpio-direction settings from gpiolib behave sensibly. + See "About Output-Enable Settings." + +This mechanism allows for "auto-request" of gpiomux lines via gpiolib +when it is suitable. Drivers wishing more exact control are, of course, +free to also use msm_gpiomux_set and msm_gpiomux_get. + +About Output-Enable Settings +============================ + +Some msm targets do not have the ability to query the current gpio +configuration setting. This means that changes made to the output-enable +(OE) bit by gpiolib cannot be consistently detected and preserved by gpiomux. +Therefore, when gpiomux applies a configuration setting, any direction +settings which may have been applied by gpiolib are lost and the default +input settings are re-applied. + +For this reason, drivers should not assume that gpio direction settings +continue to hold if they free and then re-request a gpio. This seems like +common sense - after all, anybody could have obtained the line in the +meantime - but it needs saying. + +This also means that calls to msm_gpiomux_write will reset the OE bit, +which means that if the gpio line is held by a client of gpiolib and +msm_gpiomux_write is called, the direction setting has been lost and +gpiolib's internal state has been broken. +Release gpio lines before reconfiguring them. diff --git a/Documentation/cputopology.txt b/Documentation/cputopology.txt index f1c5c4bccd3e..902d3151f527 100644 --- a/Documentation/cputopology.txt +++ b/Documentation/cputopology.txt @@ -14,25 +14,39 @@ to /proc/cpuinfo. identifier (rather than the kernel's).

It does this by writing a value to the +adapter that is based on the maximum amount of interrupts that the adapter +will generate per second. + +Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100 +will program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts +per second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt +load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load, +but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly. + +The driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in which +it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on the traffic +that it receives. After determining the type of incoming traffic in the last +timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate to an appropriate value +for that traffic. + +The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into +classes. Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate value is +adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are three classes defined: +"Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets of normal size; "Low latency", +for small amounts of traffic and/or a significant percentage of small +packets; and "Lowest latency", for almost completely small packets or +minimal traffic. + +In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is set to 4000 +for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If traffic falls in the "Low +latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the InterruptThrottleRate is increased +stepwise to 20000. This default mode is suitable for most applications. + +For situations where low latency is vital such as cluster or +grid computing, the algorithm can reduce latency even more when +InterruptThrottleRate is set to mode 1. In this mode, which operates +the same as mode 3, the InterruptThrottleRate will be increased stepwise to +70000 for traffic in class "Lowest latency". + +In simplified mode the interrupt rate is based on the ratio of Tx and +Rx traffic. If the bytes per second rate is approximately equal the +interrupt rate will drop as low as 2000 interrupts per second. If the +traffic is mostly transmit or mostly receive, the interrupt rate could +be as high as 8000. + +Setting InterruptThrottleRate to 0 turns off any interrupt moderation +and may improve small packet latency, but is generally not suitable +for bulk throughput traffic. + +NOTE: InterruptThrottleRate takes precedence over the TxAbsIntDelay and + RxAbsIntDelay parameters. In other words, minimizing the receive + and/or transmit absolute delays does not force the controller to + generate more interrupts than what the Interrupt Throttle Rate + allows. + +NOTE: When e1000e is loaded with default settings and multiple adapters + are in use simultaneously, the CPU utilization may increase non- + linearly. In order to limit the CPU utilization without impacting + the overall throughput, we recommend that you load the driver as + follows: + + modprobe e1000e InterruptThrottleRate=3000,3000,3000 + + This sets the InterruptThrottleRate to 3000 interrupts/sec for + the first, second, and third instances of the driver. The range + of 2000 to 3000 interrupts per second works on a majority of + systems and is a good starting point, but the optimal value will + be platform-specific.

Introduction +2. Initial OPP List Registration +3. OPP Search Functions +4. OPP Availability Control Functions +5. OPP Data Retrieval Functions +6. Cpufreq Table Generation +7. Data Structures + +1. Introduction +=============== +Complex SoCs of today consists of a multiple sub-modules working in conjunction. +In an operational system executing varied use cases, not all modules in the SoC +need to function at their highest performing frequency all the time. To +facilitate this, sub-modules in a SoC are grouped into domains, allowing some +domains to run at lower voltage and frequency while other domains are loaded +more. The set of discrete tuples consisting of frequency and voltage pairs that +the device will support per domain are called Operating Performance Points or +OPPs. + +OPP library provides a set of helper functions to organize and query the OPP +information. The library is located in drivers/base/power/opp.c and the header +is located in include/linux/opp.h. OPP library can be enabled by enabling +CONFIG_PM_OPP from power management menuconfig menu. OPP library depends on +CONFIG_PM as certain SoCs such as Texas Instrument's OMAP framework allows to +optionally boot at a certain OPP without needing cpufreq. + +Typical usage of the OPP library is as follows: +(users) -> registers a set of default OPPs -> (library) +SoC framework -> modifies on required cases certain OPPs -> OPP layer + -> queries to search/retrieve information -> + +OPP layer expects each domain to be represented by a unique device pointer. SoC +framework registers a set of initial OPPs per device with the OPP layer. This +list is expected to be an optimally small number typically around 5 per device. +This initial list contains a set of OPPs that the framework expects to be safely +enabled by default in the system. + +Note on OPP Availability: +------------------------ +As the system proceeds to operate, SoC framework may choose to make certain +OPPs available or not available on each device based on various external +factors. Example usage: Thermal management or other exceptional situations where +SoC framework might choose to disable a higher frequency OPP to safely continue +operations until that OPP could be re-enabled if possible. + +OPP library facilitates this concept in it's implementation. The following +operational functions operate only on available opps: +opp_find_freq_{ceil, floor}, opp_get_voltage, opp_get_freq, opp_get_opp_count +and opp_init_cpufreq_table + +opp_find_freq_exact is meant to be used to find the opp pointer which can then +be used for opp_enable/disable functions to make an opp available as required. + +WARNING: Users of OPP library should refresh their availability count using +get_opp_count if opp_enable/disable functions are invoked for a device, the +exact mechanism to trigger these or the notification mechanism to other +dependent subsystems such as cpufreq are left to the discretion of the SoC +specific framework which uses the OPP library. Similar care needs to be taken +care to refresh the cpufreq table in cases of these operations. + +WARNING on OPP List locking mechanism: +------------------------------------------------- +OPP library uses RCU for exclusivity. RCU allows the query functions to operate +in multiple contexts and this synchronization mechanism is optimal for a read +intensive operations on data structure as the OPP library caters to. + +To ensure that the data retrieved are sane, the users such as SoC framework +should ensure that the section of code operating on OPP queries are locked +using RCU read locks. The opp_find_freq_{exact,ceil,floor}, +opp_get_{voltage, freq, opp_count} fall into this category. + +opp_{add,enable,disable} are updaters which use mutex and implement it's own +RCU locking mechanisms. opp_init_cpufreq_table acts as an updater and uses +mutex to implment RCU updater strategy. These functions should *NOT* be called +under RCU locks and other contexts that prevent blocking functions in RCU or +mutex operations from working. + +2. Initial OPP List Registration +================================ +The SoC implementation calls opp_add function iteratively to add OPPs per +device. It is expected that the SoC framework will register the OPP entries +optimally- typical numbers range to be less than 5. The list generated by +registering the OPPs is maintained by OPP library throughout the device +operation. The SoC framework can subsequently control the availability of the +OPPs dynamically using the opp_enable / disable functions. + +opp_add - Add a new OPP for a specific domain represented by the device pointer. + The OPP is defined using the frequency and voltage. Once added, the OPP + is assumed to be available and control of it's availability can be done + with the opp_enable/disable functions. OPP library internally stores + and manages this information in the opp struct. This function may be + used by SoC framework to define a optimal list as per the demands of + SoC usage environment. + + WARNING: Do not use this function in interrupt context. + + Example: + soc_pm_init() + { + /* Do things */ + r = opp_add(mpu_dev, 1000000, 900000); + if (!r) { + pr_err("%s: unable to register mpu opp(%d)\n", r); + goto no_cpufreq; + } + /* Do cpufreq things */ + no_cpufreq: + /* Do remaining things */ + } + +3. OPP Search Functions +======================= +High level framework such as cpufreq operates on frequencies. To map the +frequency back to the corresponding OPP, OPP library provides handy functions +to search the OPP list that OPP library internally manages. These search +functions return the matching pointer representing the opp if a match is +found, else returns error. These errors are expected to be handled by standard +error checks such as IS_ERR() and appropriate actions taken by the caller. + +opp_find_freq_exact - Search for an OPP based on an *exact* frequency and + availability. This function is especially useful to enable an OPP which + is not available by default. + Example: In a case when SoC framework detects a situation where a + higher frequency could be made available, it can use this function to + find the OPP prior to call the opp_enable to actually make it available. + rcu_read_lock(); + opp = opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, false); + rcu_read_unlock(); + /* dont operate on the pointer.. just do a sanity check.. */ + if (IS_ERR(opp)) { + pr_err("frequency not disabled!\n"); + /* trigger appropriate actions.. */ + } else { + opp_enable(dev,1000000000); + } + + NOTE: This is the only search function that operates on OPPs which are + not available. + +opp_find_freq_floor - Search for an available OPP which is *at most* the + provided frequency. This function is useful while searching for a lesser + match OR operating on OPP information in the order of decreasing + frequency. + Example: To find the highest opp for a device: + freq = ULONG_MAX; + rcu_read_lock(); + opp_find_freq_floor(dev, &freq); + rcu_read_unlock(); + +opp_find_freq_ceil - Search for an available OPP which is *at least* the + provided frequency. This function is useful while searching for a + higher match OR operating on OPP information in the order of increasing + frequency. + Example 1: To find the lowest opp for a device: + freq = 0; + rcu_read_lock(); + opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq); + rcu_read_unlock(); + Example 2: A simplified implementation of a SoC cpufreq_driver->target: + soc_cpufreq_target(..) + { + /* Do stuff like policy checks etc. */ + /* Find the best frequency match for the req */ + rcu_read_lock(); + opp = opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq); + rcu_read_unlock(); + if (!IS_ERR(opp)) + soc_switch_to_freq_voltage(freq); + else + /* do something when we cant satisfy the req */ + /* do other stuff */ + } + +4. OPP Availability Control Functions +===================================== +A default OPP list registered with the OPP library may not cater to all possible +situation. The OPP library provides a set of functions to modify the +availability of a OPP within the OPP list. This allows SoC frameworks to have +fine grained dynamic control of which sets of OPPs are operationally available. +These functions are intended to *temporarily* remove an OPP in conditions such +as thermal considerations (e.g. don't use OPPx until the temperature drops). + +WARNING: Do not use these functions in interrupt context. + +opp_enable - Make a OPP available for operation. + Example: Lets say that 1GHz OPP is to be made available only if the + SoC temperature is lower than a certain threshold. The SoC framework + implementation might choose to do something as follows: + if (cur_temp < temp_low_thresh) { + /* Enable 1GHz if it was disabled */ + rcu_read_lock(); + opp = opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, false); + rcu_read_unlock(); + /* just error check */ + if (!IS_ERR(opp)) + ret = opp_enable(dev, 1000000000); + else + goto try_something_else; + } + +opp_disable - Make an OPP to be not available for operation + Example: Lets say that 1GHz OPP is to be disabled if the temperature + exceeds a threshold value. The SoC framework implementation might + choose to do something as follows: + if (cur_temp > temp_high_thresh) { + /* Disable 1GHz if it was enabled */ + rcu_read_lock(); + opp = opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, true); + rcu_read_unlock(); + /* just error check */ + if (!IS_ERR(opp)) + ret = opp_disable(dev, 1000000000); + else + goto try_something_else; + } + +5. OPP Data Retrieval Functions +=============================== +Since OPP library abstracts away the OPP information, a set of functions to pull +information from the OPP structure is necessary. Once an OPP pointer is +retrieved using the search functions, the following functions can be used by SoC +framework to retrieve the information represented inside the OPP layer. + +opp_get_voltage - Retrieve the voltage represented by the opp pointer. + Example: At a cpufreq transition to a different frequency, SoC + framework requires to set the voltage represented by the OPP using + the regulator framework to the Power Management chip providing the + voltage. + soc_switch_to_freq_voltage(freq) + { + /* do things */ + rcu_read_lock(); + opp = opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq); + v = opp_get_voltage(opp); + rcu_read_unlock(); + if (v) + regulator_set_voltage(.., v); + /* do other things */ + } + +opp_get_freq - Retrieve the freq represented by the opp pointer. + Example: Lets say the SoC framework uses a couple of helper functions + we could pass opp pointers instead of doing additional parameters to + handle quiet a bit of data parameters. + soc_cpufreq_target(..) + { + /* do things.. */ + max_freq = ULONG_MAX; + rcu_read_lock(); + max_opp = opp_find_freq_floor(dev,&max_freq); + requested_opp = opp_find_freq_ceil(dev,&freq); + if (!IS_ERR(max_opp) && !IS_ERR(requested_opp)) + r = soc_test_validity(max_opp, requested_opp); + rcu_read_unlock(); + /* do other things */ + } + soc_test_validity(..) + { + if(opp_get_voltage(max_opp) < opp_get_voltage(requested_opp)) + return -EINVAL; + if(opp_get_freq(max_opp) < opp_get_freq(requested_opp)) + return -EINVAL; + /* do things.. */ + } + +opp_get_opp_count - Retrieve the number of available opps for a device + Example: Lets say a co-processor in the SoC needs to know the available + frequencies in a table, the main processor can notify as following: + soc_notify_coproc_available_frequencies() + { + /* Do things */ + rcu_read_lock(); + num_available = opp_get_opp_count(dev); + speeds = kzalloc(sizeof(u32) * num_available, GFP_KERNEL); + /* populate the table in increasing order */ + freq = 0; + while (!IS_ERR(opp = opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq))) { + speeds[i] = freq; + freq++; + i++; + } + rcu_read_unlock(); + + soc_notify_coproc(AVAILABLE_FREQs, speeds, num_available); + /* Do other things */ + } + +6. Cpufreq Table Generation +=========================== +opp_init_cpufreq_table - cpufreq framework typically is initialized with + cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo which is provided with the list of + frequencies that are available for operation. This function provides + a ready to use conversion routine to translate the OPP layer's internal + information about the available frequencies into a format readily + providable to cpufreq. + + WARNING: Do not use this function in interrupt context. + + Example: + soc_pm_init() + { + /* Do things */ + r = opp_init_cpufreq_table(dev, &freq_table); + if (!r) + cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo(policy, freq_table); + /* Do other things */ + } + + NOTE: This function is available only if CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is enabled in + addition to CONFIG_PM as power management feature is required to + dynamically scale voltage and frequency in a system. + +7. Data Structures +================== +Typically an SoC contains multiple voltage domains which are variable. Each +domain is represented by a device pointer. The relationship to OPP can be +represented as follows: +SoC + |- device 1 + | |- opp 1 (availability, freq, voltage) + | |- opp 2 .. + ... ... + | `- opp n .. + |- device 2 + ... + `- device m + +OPP library maintains a internal list that the SoC framework populates and +accessed by various functions as described above. However, the structures +representing the actual OPPs and domains are internal to the OPP library itself +to allow for suitable abstraction reusable across systems. + +struct opp - The internal data structure of OPP library which is used to + represent an OPP. In addition to the freq, voltage, availability + information, it also contains internal book keeping information required + for the OPP library to operate on. Pointer to this structure is + provided back to the users such as SoC framework to be used as a + identifier for OPP in the interactions with OPP layer. + + WARNING: The struct opp pointer should not be parsed or modified by the + users.
