cpufreq: governor: Be friendly towards latency-sensitive bursty workloads Cpufreq governors like the ondemand governor calculate the load on the CPU periodically by employing deferrable timers. A deferrable timer won't fire if the CPU is completely idle (and there are no other timers to be run), in order to avoid unnecessary wakeups and thus save CPU power. However, the load calculation logic is agnostic to all this, and this can lead to the problem described below. Time (ms) CPU 1 100 Task-A running 110 Governor's timer fires, finds load as 100% in the last 10ms interval and increases the CPU frequency. 110.5 Task-A running 120 Governor's timer fires, finds load as 100% in the last 10ms interval and increases the CPU frequency. 125 Task-A went to sleep. With nothing else to do, CPU 1 went completely idle. 200 Task-A woke up and started running again. 200.5 Governor's deferred timer (which was originally programmed to fire at time 130) fires now. It calculates load for the time period 120 to 200.5, and finds the load is almost zero. Hence it decreases the CPU frequency to the minimum. 210 Governor's timer fires, finds load as 100% in the last 10ms interval and increases the CPU frequency. So, after the workload woke up and started running, the frequency was suddenly dropped to absolute minimum, and after that, there was an unnecessary delay of 10ms (sampling period) to increase the CPU frequency back to a reasonable value. And this pattern repeats for every wake-up-from-cpu-idle for that workload. This can be quite undesirable for latency- or response-time sensitive bursty workloads. So we need to fix the governor's logic to detect such wake-up-from- cpu-idle scenarios and start the workload at a reasonably high CPU frequency. One extreme solution would be to fake a load of 100% in such scenarios. But that might lead to undesirable side-effects such as frequency spikes (which might also need voltage changes) especially if the previous frequency happened to be very low. We just want to avoid the stupidity of dropping down the frequency to a minimum and then enduring a needless (and long) delay before ramping it up back again. So, let us simply carry forward the previous load - that is, let us just pretend that the 'load' for the current time-window is the same as the load for the previous window. That way, the frequency and voltage will continue to be set to whatever values they were set at previously. This means that bursty workloads will get a chance to influence the CPU frequency at which they wake up from cpu-idle, based on their past execution history. Thus, they might be able to avoid suffering from slow wakeups and long response-times. However, we should take care not to over-do this. For example, such a "copy previous load" logic will benefit cases like this: (where # represents busy and . represents idle) ##########.........#########.........###########...........##########........ but it will be detrimental in cases like the one shown below, because it will retain the high frequency (copied from the previous interval) even in a mostly idle system: ##########.........#.................#.....................#............... (i.e., the workload finished and the remaining tasks are such that their busy periods are smaller than the sampling interval, which causes the timer to always get deferred. So, this will make the copy-previous-load logic copy the initial high load to subsequent idle periods over and over again, thus keeping the frequency high unnecessarily). So, we modify this copy-previous-load logic such that it is used only once upon every wakeup-from-idle. Thus if we have 2 consecutive idle periods, the previous load won't get blindly copied over; cpufreq will freshly evaluate the load in the second idle interval, thus ensuring that the system comes back to its normal state. [ The right way to solve this whole problem is to teach the CPU frequency governors to also track load on a per-task basis, not just a per-CPU basis, and then use both the data sources intelligently to set the appropriate frequency on the CPUs. But that involves redesigning the cpufreq subsystem, so this patch should make the situation bearable until then. ] Experimental results: +-------------------+ I ran a modified version of ebizzy (called 'sleeping-ebizzy') that sleeps in between its execution such that its total utilization can be a user-defined value, say 10% or 20% (higher the utilization specified, lesser the amount of sleeps injected).

But cpufreq noticed the long idle period, and dropped the frequency at 416.505739, only to increase it back again at 416.515742, realizing that the workload is in-fact CPU bound. Thus ebizzy needlessly ran at the lowest frequency for almost 13 milliseconds (almost 1 full sample period), and this pattern repeats on every sleep-wakeup. This could hurt latency-sensitive workloads quite a lot.

Since ebizzy was the only real workload running on this CPU, cpufreq retained the frequency at 4.1Ghz throughout the run of ebizzy, no matter how many times ebizzy slept and woke-up in-between. Thus, ebizzy got the 10ms worth of 4.1 Ghz benefit during every sleep-wakeup (as compared to the run without the patch) and this boost gave a modest improvement in total throughput, as shown below.

Hence, workloads that are truly latency-sensitive will benefit quite a bit from this change. Moreover, this is an overall win-win since this patch does not hurt power-savings at all (because, this patch does not reduce the idle time or idle residency; and the high frequency of the CPU when it goes to cpu-idle does not affect/hurt the power-savings of deep idle states).

cpufreq: governor: Serialize governor callbacks There are several races reported in cpufreq core around governors (only ondemand and conservative) by different people. There are at least two race scenarios present in governor code: (a) Concurrent access/updates of governor internal structures. It is possible that fields such as 'dbs_data->usage_count', etc. are accessed simultaneously for different policies using same governor structure (i.e. CPUFREQ_HAVE_GOVERNOR_PER_POLICY flag unset). And because of this we can dereference bad pointers. For example consider a system with two CPUs with separate 'struct cpufreq_policy' instances. CPU0 governor: ondemand and CPU1: powersave. CPU0 switching to powersave and CPU1 to ondemand: CPU0 CPU1 store* store* cpufreq_governor_exit() cpufreq_governor_init() dbs_data = cdata->gdbs_data; if (!--dbs_data->usage_count) kfree(dbs_data); dbs_data->usage_count++; *Bad pointer dereference* There are other races possible between EXIT and START/STOP/LIMIT as well. Its really complicated. (b) Switching governor state in bad sequence: For example trying to switch a governor to START state, when the governor is in EXIT state. There are some checks present in __cpufreq_governor() but they aren't sufficient as they compare events against 'policy->governor_enabled', where as we need to take governor's state into account, which can be used by multiple policies. These two issues need to be solved separately and the responsibility should be properly divided between cpufreq and governor core. The first problem is more about the governor core, as it needs to protect its structures properly. And the second problem should be fixed in cpufreq core instead of governor, as its all about sequence of events. This patch is trying to solve only the first problem. There are two types of data we need to protect, - 'struct common_dbs_data': No matter what, there is going to be a single copy of this per governor. - 'struct dbs_data': With CPUFREQ_HAVE_GOVERNOR_PER_POLICY flag set, we will have per-policy copy of this data, otherwise a single copy. Because of such complexities, the mutex present in 'struct dbs_data' is insufficient to solve our problem. For example we need to protect fetching of 'dbs_data' from different structures at the beginning of cpufreq_governor_dbs(), to make sure it isn't currently being updated. This can be fixed if we can guarantee serialization of event parsing code for an individual governor. This is best solved with a mutex per governor, and the placeholder for that is 'struct common_dbs_data'. And so this patch moves the mutex from 'struct dbs_data' to 'struct common_dbs_data' and takes it at the beginning and drops it at the end of cpufreq_governor_dbs().

cpufreq: Fix timer/workqueue corruption by protecting reading governor_enabled When a CPU is hot removed we'll cancel all the delayed work items via gov_cancel_work(). Sometimes the delayed work function determines that it should adjust the delay for all other CPUs that the policy is managing. If this scenario occurs, the canceling CPU will cancel its own work but queue up the other CPUs works to run. Commit 3617f2 (cpufreq: Fix timer/workqueue corruption due to double queueing) has tried to fix this, but reading governor_enabled is not protected by cpufreq_governor_lock. Even though od_dbs_timer() checks governor_enabled before gov_queue_work(), this scenario may occur. For example: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- cpu_down() ... <work runs> __cpufreq_remove_dev() od_dbs_timer() __cpufreq_governor() policy->governor_enabled policy->governor_enabled = false; cpufreq_governor_dbs() case CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP: gov_cancel_work(dbs_data, policy); cpu0 work is canceled timer is canceled cpu1 work is canceled <waits for cpu1> gov_queue_work(*, *, true); cpu0 work queued cpu1 work queued cpu2 work queued ... cpu1 work is canceled cpu2 work is canceled ... At the end of the GOV_STOP case cpu0 still has a work queued to run although the code is expecting all of the works to be canceled. __cpufreq_remove_dev() will then proceed to re-initialize all the other CPUs works except for the CPU that is going down. The CPUFREQ_GOV_START case in cpufreq_governor_dbs() will trample over the queued work and debugobjects will spit out a warning: WARNING: at lib/debugobjects.c:260 debug_print_object+0x94/0xbc() ODEBUG: init active (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint: delayed_work_timer_fn+0x0/0x14 Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 1205 Comm: sh Tainted: G W 3.10.0 #200 [<c01144f0>] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0xf8) from [<c0111d98>] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) [<c0111d98>] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) from [<c01272cc>] (warn_slowpath_common+0x4c/0x68) [<c01272cc>] (warn_slowpath_common+0x4c/0x68) from [<c012737c>] (warn_slowpath_fmt+0x30/0x40) [<c012737c>] (warn_slowpath_fmt+0x30/0x40) from [<c034c640>] (debug_print_object+0x94/0xbc) [<c034c640>] (debug_print_object+0x94/0xbc) from [<c034c7f8>] (__debug_object_init+0xc8/0x3c0) [<c034c7f8>] (__debug_object_init+0xc8/0x3c0) from [<c01360e0>] (init_timer_key+0x20/0x104) [<c01360e0>] (init_timer_key+0x20/0x104) from [<c04872ac>] (cpufreq_governor_dbs+0x1dc/0x68c) [<c04872ac>] (cpufreq_governor_dbs+0x1dc/0x68c) from [<c04833a8>] (__cpufreq_governor+0x80/0x1b0) [<c04833a8>] (__cpufreq_governor+0x80/0x1b0) from [<c0483704>] (__cpufreq_remove_dev.isra.12+0x22c/0x380) [<c0483704>] (__cpufreq_remove_dev.isra.12+0x22c/0x380) from [<c0692f38>] (cpufreq_cpu_callback+0x48/0x5c) [<c0692f38>] (cpufreq_cpu_callback+0x48/0x5c) from [<c014fb40>] (notifier_call_chain+0x44/0x84) [<c014fb40>] (notifier_call_chain+0x44/0x84) from [<c012ae44>] (__cpu_notify+0x2c/0x48) [<c012ae44>] (__cpu_notify+0x2c/0x48) from [<c068dd40>] (_cpu_down+0x80/0x258) [<c068dd40>] (_cpu_down+0x80/0x258) from [<c068df40>] (cpu_down+0x28/0x3c) [<c068df40>] (cpu_down+0x28/0x3c) from [<c068e4c0>] (store_online+0x30/0x74) [<c068e4c0>] (store_online+0x30/0x74) from [<c03a7308>] (dev_attr_store+0x18/0x24) [<c03a7308>] (dev_attr_store+0x18/0x24) from [<c0256fe0>] (sysfs_write_file+0x100/0x180) [<c0256fe0>] (sysfs_write_file+0x100/0x180) from [<c01fec9c>] (vfs_write+0xbc/0x184) [<c01fec9c>] (vfs_write+0xbc/0x184) from [<c01ff034>] (SyS_write+0x40/0x68) [<c01ff034>] (SyS_write+0x40/0x68) from [<c010e200>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x48) In gov_queue_work(), lock cpufreq_governor_lock before gov_queue_work, and unlock it after __gov_queue_work().
