If there is a PM QoS latency limit and all of the sufficiently shallow
C-states are disabled, the cpuidle menu governor returns 0 which on

96e95182e9 cpuidle: Move perf multiplier calculation out of the selection loop
The menu governor performance multiplier defines a minimum predicted
idle duration to latency ratio. Instead of checking this separately
in every iteration of the state selection loop, adjust the overall
latency restriction for the whole loop if this restriction is tighter
than what is set by the QoS subsystem.

The original test
s->exit_latency * multiplier > data->predicted_us
becomes
s->exit_latency > data->predicted_us / multiplier
by dividing both sides of the comparison by "multiplier".

While division is likely to be several times slower than multiplication,
the minor performance hit allows making a generic sleep state selection
function based on (sleep duration, maximum latency) tuple.

61c66d6efa cpuidle: Do not substract exit latency from assumed sleep length
The menu governor statistics update function tries to determine the
amount of time between entry to low power state and the occurrence
of the wakeup event. However, the time measured by the framework
includes exit latency on top of the desired value. This exit latency
is substracted from the measured value to obtain the desired value.

When measured value is not available, the menu governor assumes
the wakeup was caused by the timer and the time is equal to remaining
timer length. No exit latency should be substracted from this value.

This patch prevents the erroneous substraction and clarifies the
associated comment. It also removes one intermediate variable that
serves no purpose.

7ac2643667 cpuidle: Ensure menu coefficients stay within domain
The menu governor uses coefficients as one method of actual idle
period length estimation. The coefficients are, as detailed below,
multipliers giving expected idle period length from time until next
timer expiry. The multipliers are supposed to have domain of (0..1].

The coefficients are fractions where only the numerators are stored
and denominators are a shared constant RESOLUTION*DECAY. Since the
value of the coefficient should always be greater than 0 and less
than or equal to 1, the numerator must have a value greater than
0 and less than or equal to RESOLUTION*DECAY.

If the coefficients are updated with measured idle durations exceeding
timer length, the multiplier may reach values exceeding unity (i.e.
the stored numerator exceeds RESOLUTION*DECAY). This patch ensures that
the multipliers are updated with durations capped to timer length.

22695ab631 cpuidle: Use actual state latency in menu governor
Currently menu governor records the exit latency of the state it has
chosen for the idle period. The stored latency value is then later
used to calculate the actual length of the idle period. This value
may however be incorrect, as the entered state may not be the one
chosen by the governor. The entered state information is available,
so we can use that to obtain the real exit latency.

5dc2f5a303 cpuidle: rename expected_us to next_timer_us in menu governor
The field expected_us is used to store the time remaining until next
timer expiry. The name is inaccurate, as we really do not expect all
wakeups to be caused by timers. In addition, another field with a very
similar name (predicted_us) is used to store the predicted time
remaining until any wakeup source being active.

This patch renames expected_us to next_timer_us in order to better
reflect the contained information.

51f245b895 cpuidle: Change struct menu_device field types
Field predicted_us value can never exceed expected_us value, but it has
a potentially larger type. As there is no need for additional 32 bits of
zeroes on 32 bit plaforms, change the type of predicted_us to match the
type of expected_us.

Field correction_factor is used to store a value that cannot exceed the
product of RESOLUTION and DECAY (default 1024*8 = 8192). The constants
cannot in practice be incremented to such values, that they'd overflow
unsigned int even on 32 bit systems, so the type is changed to avoid
unnecessary 64 bit arithmetic on 32 bit systems.

One multiplication of (now) 32 bit values needs an added cast to avoid
truncation of the result and has been added.

In order to avoid another multiplication from 32 bit domain to 64 bit
domain, the new correction_factor calculation has been changed from
new = old * (DECAY-1) / DECAY
to
new = old - old / DECAY,
which with infinite precision would yeild exactly the same result, but
now changes the direction of rounding. The impact is not significant as
the maximum accumulated difference cannot exceed the value of DECAY,
which is relatively small compared to product of RESOLUTION and DECAY
(8 / 8192).

0e96d5adcf cpuidle: Fix variable domains in get_typical_interval()
The menu governor uses a static function get_typical_interval() to
try to detect a repeating pattern of wakeups. The previous interval
durations are stored as an array of unsigned ints, but the arithmetic
in the function is performed exclusively as 64 bit values, even when
the value stored in a variable is known not to exceed unsigned int,
which may be smaller and more efficient on some platforms.

This patch changes the types of varibles used to store some
intermediates, the maximum and and the cutoff threshold to unsigned
ints. Average and standard deviation are still treated as 64 bit values,
even when the values are known to be within the domain of unsigned int,
to avoid casts to ensure correct integer promotion for arithmetic
operations.

148519120c Revert "cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for repeat mode"
Revert commit 69a37bea (cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for
repeat mode), because it has been identified as the source of a
significant performance regression in v3.8 and later as explained by
Jeremy Eder:

  We believe we've identified a particular commit to the cpuidle code
  that seems to be impacting performance of variety of workloads.
  The simplest way to reproduce is using netperf TCP_RR test, so
  we're using that, on a pair of Sandy Bridge based servers.  We also
  have data from a large database setup where performance is also
  measurably/positively impacted, though that test data isn't easily
  share-able.

  Included below are test results from 3 test kernels:

  kernel       reverts
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  1) vanilla   upstream (no reverts)

  2) perfteam2 reverts e11538d1f0

  3) test      reverts 69a37beabf
                       e11538d1f0

  In summary, netperf TCP_RR numbers improve by approximately 4%
  after reverting 69a37beabf.  When
  69a37beabf is included, C0 residency
  never seems to get above 40%.  Taking that patch out gets C0 near
  100% quite often, and performance increases.

  The below data are histograms representing the %c0 residency @
  1-second sample rates (using turbostat), while under netperf test.

  - If you look at the first 4 histograms, you can see %c0 residency
    almost entirely in the 30,40% bin.
  - The last pair, which reverts 69a37beabf,
    shows %c0 in the 80,90,100% bins.

  Below each kernel name are netperf TCP_RR trans/s numbers for the
  particular kernel that can be disclosed publicly, comparing the 3
  test kernels.  We ran a 4th test with the vanilla kernel where
  we've also set /dev/cpu_dma_latency=0 to show overall impact
  boosting single-threaded TCP_RR performance over 11% above
  baseline.

137b944e10 cpuidle: Make it clear that governors cannot be modules
cpufreq governors are defined as modules in the code, but the Kconfig
options do not allow them to be built as modules.  This is not really
a problem, but the cpuidle init ordering is: the cpuidle init
functions (framework and driver) and then the governors.  That leads
to some weirdness in the cpuidle framework.

Namely,  cpuidle_register_device() calls cpuidle_enable_device() which
fails at the first attempt, because governors have not been registered
yet.  When a governor is registered, the framework calls
cpuidle_enable_device() again which runs __cpuidle_register_device()
only then.  Of course, for that to work, the cpuidle_enable_device()
return value has to be ignored by cpuidle_register_device().

Instead of having this cyclic call graph and relying on a positive
side effects of the hackish back and forth cpuidle_enable_device()
calls it is better to fix the cpuidle init ordering.

To that end, replace the module init code with postcore_initcall()
so we have:

 * cpuidle framework : core_initcall
 * cpuidle governors : postcore_initcall
 * cpuidle drivers   : device_initcall

and remove the corresponding module exit code as it is dead anyway
(governors can't be built as modules).

8aef33a7cf cpuidle: remove the power_specified field in the driver
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.

c96ca4fb76 cpuidle: Get typical recent sleep interval
The function detect_repeating_patterns was not very useful for
workloads with alternating long and short pauses, for example
virtual machines handling network requests for each other (say
a web and database server).

Instead, try to find a recent sleep interval that is somewhere
between the median and the mode sleep time, by discarding outliers
to the up side and recalculating the average and standard deviation
until that is no longer required.

This should do something sane with a sleep interval series like:

	200 180 210 10000 30 1000 170 200

The current code would simply discard such a series, while the
new code will guess a typical sleep interval just shy of 200.

e11538d1f0 cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure in general case
The prediction for future is difficult and when the cpuidle governor prediction
fails and govenor possibly choose the shallower C-state than it should. How to
quickly notice and find the failure becomes important for power saving.

The patch extends to general case that prediction logic get a small predicted
residency, so it choose a shallow C-state though the expected residency is large
. Once the prediction will be fail, the CPU will keep staying at shallow C-state
for a long time. Acutally, the CPU has change enter into deep C-state.
So when the expected residency is long enough but governor choose a shallow
C-state, an timer will be added in order to monitor if the prediction failure.

When C-state is waken up prior to the adding timer, the timer will be cancelled
initiatively. When the timer is triggered and menu governor will quickly notice
prediction failure and re-evaluates deeper C-states possibility.

69a37beabf cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for repeat mode
The prediction for future is difficult and when the cpuidle governor prediction
fails and govenor possibly choose the shallower C-state than it should. How to
quickly notice and find the failure becomes important for power saving.

cpuidle menu governor has a method to predict the repeat pattern if there are 8
C-states residency which are continuous and the same or very close, so it will
predict the next C-states residency will keep same residency time.

There is a real case that turbostat utility (tools/power/x86/turbostat)
at kernel 3.3 or early. turbostat utility will read 10 registers one by one at
Sandybridge, so it will generate 10 IPIs to wake up idle CPUs. So cpuidle menu
 governor will predict it is repeat mode and there is another IPI wake up idle
 CPU soon, so it keeps idle CPU stay at C1 state even though CPU is totally
idle. However, in the turbostat, following 10 registers reading is sleep 5
seconds by default, so the idle CPU will keep at C1 for a long time though it is
 idle until break event occurs.
In a idle Sandybridge system, run "./turbostat -v", we will notice that deep
C-state dangles between "70% ~ 99%". After patched the kernel, we will notice
deep C-state stays at >99.98%.

In the patch, a timer is added when menu governor detects a repeat mode and
choose a shallow C-state. The timer is set to a time out value that greater
than predicted time, and we conclude repeat mode prediction failure if timer is
triggered. When repeat mode happens as expected, the timer is not triggered
and CPU waken up from C-states and it will cancel the timer initiatively.
When repeat mode does not happen, the timer will be time out and menu governor
will quickly notice that the repeat mode prediction fails and then re-evaluates
deeper C-states possibility.

Below is another case which will clearly show the patch much benefit:

After build the above test application, then run it.
Test plaform can be Intel Sandybridge or other recent platforms.
#./idle_predict -l 10 &
#./powertop

We will find that deep C-state will dangle between 40%~100% and much time spent
on C1 state. It is because menu governor wrongly predict that repeat mode
is kept, so it will choose the C1 shallow C-state even though it has chance to
sleep 1 second in deep C-state.

While after patched the kernel, we find that deep C-state will keep >99.6%.

62d6ae880e Honor state disabling in the cpuidle ladder governor
There are two cpuidle governors ladder and menu. While the ladder
governor is always available, if CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is selected, the
menu governor additionally requires CONFIG_NO_HZ.

A particular C state can be disabled by writing to the sysfs file
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/cpuidle/stateN/disable, but this mechanism
is only implemented in the menu governor. Thus, in a system where
CONFIG_NO_HZ is not selected, the ladder governor becomes default and
always will walk through all sleep states - irrespective of whether the
C state was disabled via sysfs or not. The only way to select a specific
C state was to write the related latency to /dev/cpu_dma_latency and
keep the file open as long as this setting was required - not very
practical and not suitable for setting a single core in an SMP system.

With this patch, the ladder governor only will promote to the next
C state, if it has not been disabled, and it will demote, if the
current C state was disabled.

Note that the patch does not make the setting of the sysfs variable
"disable" coherent, i.e. if one is disabling a light state, then all
deeper states are disabled as well, but the "disable" variable does not
reflect it. Likewise, if one enables a deep state but a lighter state
still is disabled, then this has no effect. A related section has been
added to the documentation.

cbc9ef0287 PM / Domains: Add preliminary support for cpuidle, v2
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.

dc7fd275ae cpuidle: move field disable from per-driver to per-cpu
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.

3a53396b03 cpuidle: add a sysfs entry to disable specific C state for debug purpose.
Some C states of new CPU might be not good.  One reason is BIOS might
configure them incorrectly.  To help developers root cause it quickly, the
patch adds a new sysfs entry, so developers could disable specific C state
manually.

In addition, C state might have much impact on performance tuning, as it
takes much time to enter/exit C states, which might delay interrupt
processing.  With the new debug option, developers could check if a deep C
state could impact performance and how much impact it could cause.

Also add this option in Documentation/cpuidle/sysfs.txt.

46bcfad7a8 cpuidle: Single/Global registration of idle states
This patch makes the cpuidle_states structure global (single copy)
instead of per-cpu. The statistics needed on per-cpu basis
by the governor are kept per-cpu. This simplifies the cpuidle
subsystem as state registration is done by single cpu only.
Having single copy of cpuidle_states saves memory. Rare case
of asymmetric C-states can be handled within the cpuidle driver
and architectures such as POWER do not have asymmetric C-states.

Having single/global registration of all the idle states,
dynamic C-state transitions on x86 are handled by
the boot cpu. Here, the boot cpu  would disable all the devices,
re-populate the states and later enable all the devices,
irrespective of the cpu that would receive the notification first.

b25edc42bf cpuidle: Remove CPUIDLE_FLAG_IGNORE and dev->prepare()
The cpuidle_device->prepare() mechanism causes updates to the
cpuidle_state[].flags, setting and clearing CPUIDLE_FLAG_IGNORE
to tell the governor not to chose a state on a per-cpu basis at
run-time. State demotion is now handled by the driver and it returns
the actual state entered. Hence, this mechanism is not required.
Also this removes per-cpu flags from cpuidle_state enabling
it to be made global.

e978aa7d7d cpuidle: Move dev->last_residency update to driver enter routine; remove dev->last_state
Cpuidle governor only suggests the state to enter using the
governor->select() interface, but allows the low level driver to
override the recommended state. The actual entered state
may be different because of software or hardware demotion. Software
demotion is done by the back-end cpuidle driver and can be accounted
correctly. Current cpuidle code uses last_state field to capture the
actual state entered and based on that updates the statistics for the
state entered.

Ideally the driver enter routine should update the counters,
and it should return the state actually entered rather than the time
spent there. The generic cpuidle code should simply handle where
the counters live in the sysfs namespace, not updating the counters.

7467571f44 cpuidle: menu: fixed wrapping timers at 4.294 seconds
Cpuidle menu governor is using u32 as a temporary datatype for storing
nanosecond values which wrap around at 4.294 seconds. This causes errors
in predicted sleep times resulting in higher than should be C state
selection and increased power consumption. This also breaks cpuidle
state residency statistics.

71abbbf856 cpuidle: extend cpuidle and menu governor to handle dynamic states
On some SoC chips, HW resources may be in use during any particular idle
period.  As a consequence, the cpuidle states that the SoC is safe to
enter can change from idle period to idle period.  In addition, the
latency and threshold of each cpuidle state can vary, depending on the
operating condition when the CPU becomes idle, e.g.  the current cpu
frequency, the current state of the HW blocks, etc.

cpuidle core and the menu governor, in the current form, are geared
towards cpuidle states that are static, i.e.  the availabiltiy of the
states, their latencies, their thresholds are non-changing during run
time.  cpuidle does not provide any hook that cpuidle drivers can use to
adjust those values on the fly for the current idle period before the menu
governor selects the target cpuidle state.

This patch extends cpuidle core and the menu governor to handle states
that are dynamic.  There are three additions in the patch and the patch
maintains backwards-compatibility with existing cpuidle drivers.

1) add prepare() to struct cpuidle_device.  A cpuidle driver can hook
   into the callback and cpuidle will call prepare() before calling the
   governor's select function.  The callback gives the cpuidle driver a
   chance to update the dynamic information of the cpuidle states for the
   current idle period, e.g.  state availability, latencies, thresholds,
   power values, etc.

2) add CPUIDLE_FLAG_IGNORE as one of the state flags.  In the prepare()
   function, a cpuidle driver can set/clear the flag to indicate to the
   menu governor whether a cpuidle state should be ignored, i.e.  not
   available, during the current idle period.

3) add power_specified bit to struct cpuidle_device.  The menu governor
   currently assumes that the cpuidle states are arranged in the order of
   increasing latency, threshold, and power savings.  This is true or can
   be made true for static states.  Once the state parameters are dynamic,
   the latencies, thresholds, and power savings for the cpuidle states can
   increase or decrease by different amounts from idle period to idle
   period.  So the assumption of increasing latency, threshold, and power
   savings from Cn to C(n+1) can no longer be guaranteed.

It can be straightforward to calculate the power consumption of each
available state and to specify it in power_usage for the idle period.
Using the power_usage fields, the menu governor then selects the state
that has the lowest power consumption and that still satisfies all other
critieria.  The power_specified bit defaults to 0.  For existing cpuidle
drivers, cpuidle detects that power_specified is 0 and fills in a dummy
set of power_usage values.
