CPUIDLE * provides us this duration in the "target_residency" field. So all that we * need is a good prediction of how long we'll be idle. Like the traditional * menu governor, we start with the actual known "next timer event" time. * * Since there are other source of wakeups (interrupts for example) than * the next timer event, this estimation is rather optimistic. To get a * more realistic estimate, a correction factor is applied to the estimate, * that is based on historic behavior. For example, if in the past the actual * duration always was 50% of the next timer tick, the correction factor will * be 0.5. * * menu uses a running average for this correction factor, however it uses a * set of factors, not just a single factor. This stems from the realization * that the ratio is dependent on the order of magnitude of the expected * duration; if we expect 500 milliseconds of idle time the likelihood of * getting an interrupt very early is much higher than if we expect 50 micro * seconds of idle time. A second independent factor that has big impact on * the actual factor is if there is (disk) IO outstanding or not. * (as a special twist, we consider every sleep longer than 50 milliseconds * as perfect; there are no power gains for sleeping longer than this) * * For these two reasons we keep an array of 12 independent factors, that gets * indexed based on the magnitude of the expected duration as well as the * "is IO outstanding" property. * * Repeatable-interval-detector * ---------------------------- * There are some cases where "next timer" is a completely unusable predictor: * Those cases where the interval is fixed, for example due to hardware * interrupt mitigation, but also due to fixed transfer rate devices such as * mice. * For this, we use a different predictor: We track the duration of the last 8 * intervals and if the stand deviation of these 8 intervals is below a * threshold value, we use the average of these intervals as prediction. * * Limiting Performance Impact * --------------------------- * C states, especially those with large exit latencies, can have a real * noticeable impact on workloads, which is not acceptable for most sysadmins, * and in addition, less performance has a power price of its own. * * As a general rule of thumb, menu assumes that the following heuristic * holds: * The busier the system, the less impact of C states is acceptable * * This rule-of-thumb is implemented using a performance-multiplier: * If the exit latency times the performance multiplier is longer than * the predicted duration, the C state is not considered a candidate * for selection due to a too high performance impact. So the higher * this multiplier is, the longer we need to be idle to pick a deep C * state, and thus the less likely a busy CPU will hit such a deep * C state. * * Two factors are used in determing this multiplier: * a value of 10 is added for each point of "per cpu load average" we have. * a value of 5 points is added for each process that is waiting for * IO on this CPU. * (these values are experimentally determined) * * The load average factor gives a longer term (few seconds) input to the * decision, while the iowait value gives a cpu local instantanious input. * The iowait factor may look low, but realize that this is also already * represented in the system load average. * */ /* * The C-state residency is so long that is is worthwhile to exit * from the shallow C-state and re-enter into a deeper C-state. */ static unsigned int perfect_cstate_ms __read_mostly = 30; module_param(perfect_cstate_ms, uint, 0000); struct menu_device { int last_state_idx; int needs_update; unsigned int expected_us; u64 predicted_us; unsigned int exit_us; unsigned int bucket; u64 correction_factor[BUCKETS]; u32 intervals[INTERVALS]; int interval_ptr; }; #define LOAD_INT(x) ((x) >> FSHIFT) #define LOAD_FRAC(x) LOAD_INT(((x) & (FIXED_1-1)) * 100) static int get_loadavg(void) { unsigned long this = this_cpu_load(); return LOAD_INT(this) * 10 + LOAD_FRAC(this) / 10; } static inline int which_bucket(unsigned int duration) { int bucket = 0; /* * We keep two groups of stats; one with no * IO pending, one without. * This allows us to calculate * E(duration)|iowait */ if (nr_iowait_cpu(smp_processor_id())) bucket = BUCKETS/2; if (duration < 10) return bucket; if (duration < 100) return bucket + 1; if (duration < 1000) return bucket + 2; if (duration < 10000) return bucket + 3; if (duration < 100000) return bucket + 4; return bucket + 5; } /* * Return a multiplier for the exit latency that is intended * to take performance requirements into account. * The more performance critical we estimate the system * to be, the higher this multiplier, and thus the higher * the barrier to go to an expensive C state. */ static inline int performance_multiplier(void) { int mult = 1; /* for higher loadavg, we are more reluctant */ /* * this doesn't work as intended - it is almost always 0, but can * sometimes, depending on workload, spike very high into the hundreds * even when the average cpu load is under 10%. */ /* mult += 2 * get_loadavg(); */ /* for IO wait tasks (per cpu!) we add 5x each */ mult += 10 * nr_iowait_cpu(smp_processor_id()); return mult; } static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct menu_device, menu_devices); static void menu_update(struct cpuidle_driver *drv, struct cpuidle_device *dev); /* This implements DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST but avoids 64 bit division */ static u64 div_round64(u64 dividend, u32 divisor) { return div_u64(dividend + (divisor / 2), divisor); } /* Cancel the hrtimer if it is not triggered yet */ void menu_hrtimer_cancel(void) { int cpu = smp_processor_id(); struct hrtimer *hrtmr = &per_cpu(menu_hrtimer, cpu); /* The timer is still not time out*/ if (per_cpu(hrtimer_status, cpu)) { hrtimer_cancel(hrtmr); per_cpu(hrtimer_status, cpu) = MENU_HRTIMER_STOP; } } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(menu_hrtimer_cancel); /* Call back for hrtimer is triggered */ static enum hrtimer_restart menu_hrtimer_notify(struct hrtimer *hrtimer) { int cpu = smp_processor_id(); struct menu_device *data = &per_cpu(menu_devices, cpu); /* In general case, the expected residency is much larger than * deepest C-state target residency, but prediction logic still * predicts a small predicted residency, so the prediction * history is totally broken if the timer is triggered. * So reset the correction factor. */ if (per_cpu(hrtimer_status, cpu) == MENU_HRTIMER_GENERAL) data->correction_factor[data->bucket] = RESOLUTION * DECAY; per_cpu(hrtimer_status, cpu) = MENU_HRTIMER_STOP; return HRTIMER_NORESTART; } /* * Try detecting repeating patterns by keeping track of the last 8 * intervals, and checking if the standard deviation of that set * of points is below a threshold.
