The text in Documentation said it would be removed in 2.6.41;
the text in the Kconfig said removal in the 3.1 release. Either
way you look at it, we are well past both, so push it off a cliff.
Note that the POWER_CSTATE and the POWER_PSTATE are part of the
legacy tracing API. Remove all tracepoints which use these flags.
As can be seen from context, most already have a trace entry via
trace_cpu_idle anyways.
Also, the cpufreq/cpufreq.c PSTATE one is actually unpaired, as
compared to the CSTATE ones which all have a clear start/stop.
As part of this, the trace_power_frequency also becomes orphaned,
so it too is deleted.

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.

Commit bf4d1b5ddb (cpuidle: support
multiple drivers) changed the number of initialized state kobjects
in cpuidle_add_state_sysfs() from device->state_count to
drv->state_count, but left device->state_count in
cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs(). The values of these two fields may be
different, in which case a NULL pointer dereference may happen in
cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs(), for example. Fix this problem by making
cpuidle_add_state_sysfs() use device->state_count too (which restores
the original behavior of it).

Commit bf4d1b5 (cpuidle: support multiple drivers) introduced
locking in cpuidle_get_cpu_driver(), which is used in the
idle_call() function.
This leads to a contention problem with a large number of CPUs,
because they all try to run the idle routine at the same time.
The lock can be safely removed because of how is used the cpuidle
API. Namely, cpuidle_register_driver() is called first, but the
cpuidle idle function is not entered before cpuidle_register_device()
is called, because the cpuidle device is not enabled then. Moreover,
cpuidle_unregister_driver(), which would reset the driver value to
NULL, is not called before cpuidle_unregister_device().
All of the cpuidle drivers use the API in the same way.
In general, a cleanup around the lock is necessary and a proper
refcounting mechanism should be used to ensure the consistency in the
API (for example, cpuidle_unregister_driver() should fail if the
driver's refcount is not 0). However, these modifications will require
some code reorganization and rewrite which will be too intrusive for
a fix.
For this reason, fix the contention problem introduced by commit
bf4d1b5 by simply removing the locking from cpuidle_get_cpu_driver(),
which restores the original behavior of that routine.

Many cpuidle drivers measure their time spent in an idle state by
reading the wallclock time before and after idling and calculating the
difference. This leads to erroneous results when the wallclock time gets
updated by another processor in the meantime, adding that clock
adjustment to the idle state's time counter.
If the clock adjustment was negative, the result is even worse due to an
erroneous cast from int to unsigned long long of the last_residency
variable. The negative 32 bit integer will zero-extend and result in a
forward time jump of roughly four billion milliseconds or 1.3 hours on
the idle state residency counter.
This patch changes all affected cpuidle drivers to either use the
monotonic clock for their measurements or make use of the generic time
measurement wrapper in cpuidle.c, which was already working correctly.
Some superfluous CLIs/STIs in the ACPI code are removed (interrupts
should always already be disabled before entering the idle function, and
not get reenabled until the generic wrapper has performed its second
measurement). It also removes the erroneous cast, making sure that
negative residency values are applied correctly even though they should
not appear anymore.

With the tegra3 and the big.LITTLE [1] new architectures, several cpus
with different characteristics (latencies and states) can co-exists on the
system.
The cpuidle framework has the limitation of handling only identical cpus.
This patch removes this limitation by introducing the multiple driver support
for cpuidle.
This option is configurable at compile time and should be enabled for the
architectures mentioned above. So there is no impact for the other platforms
if the option is disabled. The option defaults to 'n'. Note the multiple drivers
support is also compatible with the existing drivers, even if just one driver is
needed, all the cpu will be tied to this driver using an extra small chunk of
processor memory.
The multiple driver support use a per-cpu driver pointer instead of a global
variable and the accessor to this variable are done from a cpu context.
In order to keep the compatibility with the existing drivers, the function
'cpuidle_register_driver' and 'cpuidle_unregister_driver' will register
the specified driver for all the cpus.
The semantic for the output of /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_driver
remains the same except the driver name will be related to the current cpu.
The /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]/cpuidle/driver/name files are added
allowing to read the per cpu driver name.

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.

The prediction for future is difficult and when the cpuidle governor prediction

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.

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.

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%.

For the mechanism introduced by commit cbc9ef0 (PM / Domains: Add
preliminary support for cpuidle, v2) to work with the ladder

added by that commit. Change the ladder governor accordingly.
Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
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.

PM / Domains: Add preliminary support for cpuidle, v2
PM / Domains: Do not stop devices after restoring their states
PM / Domains: Use subsystem runtime suspend/resume callbacks by default
On certain bios, resume hangs if cpus are allowed to enter idle states
during suspend [1].
This was fixed in apci idle driver [2].But intel_idle driver does not
have this fix. Thus instead of replicating the fix in both the idle
drivers, or in more platform specific idle drivers if needed, the
more general cpuidle infrastructure could handle this.
A suspend callback in cpuidle_driver could handle this fix. But
a cpuidle_driver provides only basic functionalities like platform idle
state detection capability and mechanisms to support entry and exit
into CPU idle states. All other cpuidle functions are found in the
cpuidle generic infrastructure for good reason that all cpuidle
drivers, irrepective of their platforms will support these functions.
One option therefore would be to register a suspend callback in cpuidle
which handles this fix. This could be called through a PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE
notifier. But this is too generic a notfier for a driver to handle.
Also, ideally the job of cpuidle is not to handle side effects of suspend.
It should expose the interfaces which "handle cpuidle 'during' suspend"
or any other operation, which the subsystems call during that respective
operation.
The fix demands that during suspend, no cpus should be allowed to enter
deep C-states. The interface cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler() in cpuidle
ensures that. Not just that it also kicks all the cpus which are already
in idle out of their idle states which was being done during cpu hotplug
through a CPU_DYING_FROZEN callbacks.
Now the question arises about when during suspend should
cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler() be called. Since we are dealing with
drivers it seems best to call this function during dpm_suspend().
Delaying the call till dpm_suspend_noirq() does no harm, as long as it is
before cpu_hotplug_begin() to avoid race conditions with cpu hotpulg
operations. In dpm_suspend_noirq(), it would be wise to place this call
before suspend_device_irqs() to avoid ugly interactions with the same.
Ananlogously, during resume.

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.

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.

Adds cpuidle_coupled_parallel_barrier, which can be used by coupled
cpuidle state enter functions to handle resynchronization after
determining if any cpu needs to abort. The normal use case will
be:
static bool abort_flag;
static atomic_t abort_barrier;
int arch_cpuidle_enter(struct cpuidle_device *dev, ...)
{
if (arch_turn_off_irq_controller()) {
/* returns an error if an irq is pending and would be lost
if idle continued and turned off power */
abort_flag = true;
}
cpuidle_coupled_parallel_barrier(dev, &abort_barrier);
if (abort_flag) {
/* One of the cpus didn't turn off it's irq controller */
arch_turn_on_irq_controller();
return -EINTR;
}
/* continue with idle */
...
}
This will cause all cpus to abort idle together if one of them needs
to abort.

On some ARM SMP SoCs (OMAP4460, Tegra 2, and probably more), the
cpus cannot be independently powered down, either due to
sequencing restrictions (on Tegra 2, cpu 0 must be the last to
power down), or due to HW bugs (on OMAP4460, a cpu powering up
will corrupt the gic state unless the other cpu runs a work
around). Each cpu has a power state that it can enter without
coordinating with the other cpu (usually Wait For Interrupt, or
WFI), and one or more "coupled" power states that affect blocks
shared between the cpus (L2 cache, interrupt controller, and
sometimes the whole SoC). Entering a coupled power state must
be tightly controlled on both cpus.
The easiest solution to implementing coupled cpu power states is
to hotplug all but one cpu whenever possible, usually using a
cpufreq governor that looks at cpu load to determine when to
enable the secondary cpus. This causes problems, as hotplug is an
expensive operation, so the number of hotplug transitions must be
minimized, leading to very slow response to loads, often on the
order of seconds.
This file implements an alternative solution, where each cpu will
wait in the WFI state until all cpus are ready to enter a coupled
state, at which point the coupled state function will be called
on all cpus at approximately the same time.
Once all cpus are ready to enter idle, they are woken by an smp
cross call. At this point, there is a chance that one of the
cpus will find work to do, and choose not to enter idle. A
final pass is needed to guarantee that all cpus will call the
power state enter function at the same time. During this pass,
each cpu will increment the ready counter, and continue once the
ready counter matches the number of online coupled cpus. If any
cpu exits idle, the other cpus will decrement their counter and
retry.
To use coupled cpuidle states, a cpuidle driver must:
Set struct cpuidle_device.coupled_cpus to the mask of all
coupled cpus, usually the same as cpu_possible_mask if all cpus
are part of the same cluster. The coupled_cpus mask must be
set in the struct cpuidle_device for each cpu.
Set struct cpuidle_device.safe_state to a state that is not a
coupled state. This is usually WFI.
Set CPUIDLE_FLAG_COUPLED in struct cpuidle_state.flags for each
state that affects multiple cpus.
Provide a struct cpuidle_state.enter function for each state
that affects multiple cpus. This function is guaranteed to be
called on all cpus at approximately the same time. The driver
should ensure that the cpus all abort together if any cpu tries
to abort once the function is called.
update1:
cpuidle: coupled: fix count of online cpus
online_count was never incremented on boot, and was also counting
cpus that were not part of the coupled set. Fix both issues by
introducting a new function that counts online coupled cpus, and
call it from register as well as the hotplug notifier.
update2:
cpuidle: coupled: fix decrementing ready count
cpuidle_coupled_set_not_ready sometimes refuses to decrement the
ready count in order to prevent a race condition. This makes it
unsuitable for use when finished with idle. Add a new function
cpuidle_coupled_set_done that decrements both the ready count and
waiting count, and call it after idle is complete.

The existing check for dev == NULL in __cpuidle_register_device() is
rendered useless because dev is dereferenced before the check itself.
Moreover, correctly speaking, it is the job of the callers of this
function, i.e., cpuidle_register_device() & cpuidle_enable_device() (which
also happen to be exported functions) to ensure that
__cpuidle_register_device() is called with a non-NULL dev.
So add the necessary dev == NULL checks in the two callers and remove the
(useless) check from __cpuidle_register_device().

It's showing up as regressions; disabling it very likely just papers

Many years has passed since 2008, so it seems ok to remove whole `#if 0' block.

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.
