cpufreq: governor: New sysfs show/store callbacks for governor tunables The ondemand and conservative governors use the global-attr or freq-attr structures to represent sysfs attributes corresponding to their tunables (which of them is actually used depends on whether or not different policy objects can use the same governor with different tunables at the same time and, consequently, on where those attributes are located in sysfs). Unfortunately, in the freq-attr case, the standard cpufreq show/store sysfs attribute callbacks are applied to the governor tunable attributes and they always acquire the policy->rwsem lock before carrying out the operation. That may lead to an ABBA deadlock if governor tunable attributes are removed under policy->rwsem while one of them is being accessed concurrently (if sysfs attributes removal wins the race, it will wait for the access to complete with policy->rwsem held while the attribute callback will block on policy->rwsem indefinitely). We attempted to address this issue by dropping policy->rwsem around governor tunable attributes removal (that is, around invocations of the ->governor callback with the event arg equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT) in cpufreq_set_policy(), but that opened up race conditions that had not been possible with policy->rwsem held all the time. Therefore policy->rwsem cannot be dropped in cpufreq_set_policy() at any point, but the deadlock situation described above must be avoided too. To that end, use the observation that in principle governor tunables may be represented by the same data type regardless of whether the governor is system-wide or per-policy and introduce a new structure, struct governor_attr, for representing them and new corresponding macros for creating show/store sysfs callbacks for them. Also make their parent kobject use a new kobject type whose default show/store callbacks are not related to the standard core cpufreq ones in any way (and they don't acquire policy->rwsem in particular).

And so we were forced to keep per-cpu works, and only the one that expires first need to do the real work and others are rescheduled for next sampling time. We have been using the more complex solution until now, where we used a delayed deferrable work for this, which is a combination of a timer and a work. This could be made lightweight by keeping per-cpu deferred timers with a single work item, which is scheduled by the first timer that expires. This patch does just that and here are important changes: - The timer handler will run in irq context and so we need to use a spin_lock instead of the timer_mutex. And so a separate timer_lock is created. This also makes the use of the mutex and lock quite clear, as we know what exactly they are protecting. - A new field 'skip_work' is added to track when the timer handlers can queue a work.

cpufreq: conservative: Decrease frequency faster for deferred updates Conservative governor changes the CPU frequency in steps. That means that if a CPU runs at max frequency, it will need several sampling periods to return to min frequency when the workload is finished. If the update function that calculates the load and target frequency is deferred, the governor might need even more time to decrease the frequency. This may have impact to power consumption and after all conservative should decrease the frequency if there is no workload at every sampling rate. To resolve the above issue calculate the number of sampling periods that the update is deferred. Considering that for each sampling period conservative should drop the frequency by a freq_step because the CPU was idle apply the proper subtraction to requested frequency. Below, the kernel trace with and without this patch. First an intensive workload is applied on a specific CPU. Then the workload is removed and the CPU goes to idle.

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).

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: New sysfs show/store callbacks for governor tunables The ondemand and conservative governors use the global-attr or freq-attr structures to represent sysfs attributes corresponding to their tunables (which of them is actually used depends on whether or not different policy objects can use the same governor with different tunables at the same time and, consequently, on where those attributes are located in sysfs). Unfortunately, in the freq-attr case, the standard cpufreq show/store sysfs attribute callbacks are applied to the governor tunable attributes and they always acquire the policy->rwsem lock before carrying out the operation. That may lead to an ABBA deadlock if governor tunable attributes are removed under policy->rwsem while one of them is being accessed concurrently (if sysfs attributes removal wins the race, it will wait for the access to complete with policy->rwsem held while the attribute callback will block on policy->rwsem indefinitely). We attempted to address this issue by dropping policy->rwsem around governor tunable attributes removal (that is, around invocations of the ->governor callback with the event arg equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT) in cpufreq_set_policy(), but that opened up race conditions that had not been possible with policy->rwsem held all the time. Therefore policy->rwsem cannot be dropped in cpufreq_set_policy() at any point, but the deadlock situation described above must be avoided too. To that end, use the observation that in principle governor tunables may be represented by the same data type regardless of whether the governor is system-wide or per-policy and introduce a new structure, struct governor_attr, for representing them and new corresponding macros for creating show/store sysfs callbacks for them. Also make their parent kobject use a new kobject type whose default show/store callbacks are not related to the standard core cpufreq ones in any way (and they don't acquire policy->rwsem in particular).

cpufreq: Drop the 'initialized' field from struct cpufreq_governor The 'initialized' field in struct cpufreq_governor is only used by the conservative governor (as a usage counter) and the way that happens is far from straightforward and arguably incorrect. Namely, the value of 'initialized' is checked by cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() and cpufreq_dbs_governor_exit() and the results of those checks are passed (as the second argument) to the ->init() and ->exit() callbacks in struct dbs_governor. Those callbacks are only implemented by the ondemand and conservative governors and ondemand doesn't use their second argument at all. In turn, the conservative governor uses it to decide whether or not to either register or unregister a transition notifier. That whole mechanism is not only unnecessarily convoluted, but also racy, because the 'initialized' field of struct cpufreq_governor is updated in cpufreq_init_governor() and cpufreq_exit_governor() under policy->rwsem which doesn't help if one of these functions is run twice in parallel for different policies (which isn't impossible in principle), for example. Instead of it, add a proper usage counter to the conservative governor and update it from cs_init() and cs_exit() which is guaranteed to be non-racy, as those functions are only called under gov_dbs_data_mutex which is global. With that in place, drop the 'initialized' field from struct cpufreq_governor as it is not used any more. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
