There are three files with replace macros for structs,
mapping them into Sphinx 2.x C domain references.

Well, this is broken on Sphinx 3.x. Also, for Sphinx 2.x,
the automarkup macro should be able to take care of them.

So, let's just drop those.

Lina Iyer f49735f497 cpuidle: record state entry rejection statistics
CPUs may fail to enter the chosen idle state if there was a
pending interrupt, causing the cpuidle driver to return an error
value.

Record that and export it via sysfs along with the other idle state
statistics.

This could prove useful in understanding behavior of the governor
and the system during usecases that involve multiple CPUs.

Modify the EPP sysfs interface to reject attempts to change the EPP

the "performance" policy (ie. scaling_governor set to "performance"),
to avoid situations in which the kernel appears to discard data

2020-08-14 19:39:35 +02:00
Rafael J. Wysocki f6ebbcf08f cpufreq: intel_pstate: Implement passive mode with HWP enabled
Allow intel_pstate to work in the passive mode with HWP enabled and
make it set the HWP minimum performance limit (HWP floor) to the
P-state value given by the target frequency supplied by the cpufreq
governor, so as to prevent the HWP algorithm and the CPU scheduler
from working against each other, at least when the schedutil governor
is in use, and update the intel_pstate documentation accordingly.

Among other things, this allows utilization clamps to be taken
into account, at least to a certain extent, when intel_pstate is
in use and makes it more likely that sufficient capacity for
deadline tasks will be provided.

After this change, the resulting behavior of an HWP system with
intel_pstate in the passive mode should be close to the behavior
of the analogous non-HWP system with intel_pstate in the passive
mode, except that the HWP algorithm is generally allowed to make the
CPU run at a frequency above the floor P-state set by intel_pstate in
the entire available range of P-states, while without HWP a CPU can
run in a P-state above the requested one if the latter falls into the
range of turbo P-states (referred to as the turbo range) or if the
P-states of all CPUs in one package are coordinated with each other
at the hardware level.

[Note that in principle the HWP floor may not be taken into account
 by the processor if it falls into the turbo range, in which case the
 processor has a license to choose any P-state, either below or above
 the HWP floor, just like a non-HWP processor in the case when the
 target P-state falls into the turbo range.]

With this change applied, intel_pstate in the passive mode assumes
complete control over the HWP request MSR and concurrent changes of
that MSR (eg. via the direct MSR access interface) are overridden by
it.

Quentin Perret 8412b4563e cpufreq: Specify default governor on command line
Currently, the only way to specify the default CPUfreq governor is
via Kconfig options, which suits users who can build the kernel
themselves perfectly.

However, for those who use a distro-like kernel (such as Android,
with the Generic Kernel Image project), the only way to use a
non-default governor is to boot to userspace, and to then switch
using the sysfs interface. Being able to specify the default governor
on the command line, like is the case for cpuidle, would allow those
users to specify their governor of choice earlier on, and to simplify
the userspace boot procedure slighlty.

To support this use-case, add a kernel command line parameter
allowing the default governor for CPUfreq to be specified, which
takes precedence over the built-in default.

This implementation has one notable limitation: the default governor
must be registered before the driver. This is solved for builtin
governors and drivers using appropriate *_initcall() functions. And
in the modular case, this must be reflected as a constraint on the
module loading order.

Srinivas Pandruvada f473bf398b cpufreq: intel_pstate: Allow raw energy performance preference value
Currently using attribute "energy_performance_preference", user space can
write one of the four per-defined preference string. These preference
strings gets mapped to a hard-coded Energy-Performance Preference (EPP) or
Energy-Performance Bias (EPB) knob.

These four values are supposed to cover broad spectrum of use cases, but
are not uniformly distributed in the range. There are number of cases,
where this is not enough. For example:

Suppose user wants more performance when connected to AC. Instead of using
default "balance performance", the "performance" setting can be used. This
changes EPP value from 0x80 to 0x00. But setting EPP to 0, results in
electrical and thermal issues on some platforms. This results in
aggressive throttling, which causes a drop in performance. But some value
between 0x80 and 0x00 results in better performance. But that value can't
be fixed as the power curve is not linear. In some cases just changing EPP
from 0x80 to 0x75 is enough to get significant performance gain.

Similarly on battery the default "balance_performance" mode can be
aggressive in power consumption. But picking up the next choice
"balance power" results in too much loss of performance, which results in
bad user experience in use cases like "Google Hangout". It was observed
that some value between these two EPP is optimal.

This change allows fine grain EPP tuning for platform like Chromebook or
for users who wants to fine tune power and performance.
Here based on the product and use cases, different EPP values can be set.
This change is similar to the change done for:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/power/energy_perf_bias
where user has choice to write a predefined string or raw value.

The change itself is trivial. When user preference doesn't match
predefined string preferences and value is an unsigned integer and in
range, use that value for EPP. When the EPP feature is not present
writing raw value is not supported.

Srinivas Pandruvada ed7bde7a6d cpufreq: intel_pstate: Allow enable/disable energy efficiency
By default intel_pstate the driver disables energy efficiency by setting
MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL bit 19 for Kaby Lake desktop CPU model in HWP mode.
This CPU model is also shared by Coffee Lake desktop CPUs. This allows
these systems to reach maximum possible frequency. But this adds power
penalty, which some customers don't want. They want some way to enable/
disable dynamically.

So, add an additional attribute "energy_efficiency" under
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/ for these CPU models. This allows
to read and write bit 19 ("Disable Energy Efficiency Optimization") in
the MSR IA32_POWER_CTL.

This attribute is present in both HWP and non-HWP mode as this has an
effect in both modes. Refer to Intel Software Developer's manual for
details.

The scope of this bit is package wide. Also these systems are single
package systems. So read/write MSR on the current CPU is enough.

The energy efficiency (EE) bit setting needs to be preserved during
suspend/resume and CPU offline/online operation. To do this:
- Restoring the EE setting from the cpufreq resume() callback, if there
is change from the system default.
- By default, don't disable EE from cpufreq init() callback for matching
CPU models. Since the scope is package wide and is a single package
system, move the disable EE calls from init() callback to
intel_pstate_init() function, which is called only once.

Rafael J. Wysocki 33aa46f252 cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use passive mode by default without HWP
After recent changes allowing scale-invariant utilization to be
used on x86, the schedutil governor on top of intel_pstate in the
passive mode should be on par with (or better than) the active mode
"powersave" algorithm of intel_pstate on systems in which
hardware-managed P-states (HWP) are not used, so it should not be
necessary to use the internal scaling algorithm in those cases.

Accordingly, modify intel_pstate to start in the passive mode by
default if the processor at hand does not support HWP of if the driver
is requested to avoid using HWP through the kernel command line.

Among other things, that will allow utilization clamps and the
support for RT/DL tasks in the schedutil governor to be utilized on
systems in which intel_pstate is used.
