'copy_prev_load' was recently added by commit: 18b46ab (cpufreq: governor: Be
friendly towards latency-sensitive bursty workloads).
It actually is a bit redundant as we also have 'prev_load' which can store any
integer value and can be used instead of 'copy_prev_load' by setting it zero.
True load can also turn out to be zero during long idle intervals (and hence the
actual value of 'prev_load' and the overloaded value can clash). However this is
not a problem because, if the true load was really zero in the previous
interval, it makes sense to evaluate the load afresh for the current interval
rather than copying the previous load.
So, drop 'copy_prev_load' and use 'prev_load' instead.
Update comments as well to make it more clear.
There is another change here which was probably missed by Srivatsa during the
last version of updates he made. The unlikely in the 'if' statement was covering
only half of the condition and the whole line should actually come under it.
Also checkpatch is made more silent as it was reporting this (--strict option):
CHECK: Alignment should match open parenthesis
+ if (unlikely(wall_time > (2 * sampling_rate) &&
+ j_cdbs->prev_load)) {

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). This ebizzy was run with a single-thread, tied to CPU 8.
Behavior observed with tracing (sample taken from 40% utilization runs):

Observation: Ebizzy went idle at 416.402202, and started running again at
416.502130. 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.

Observation: Ebizzy went idle at 465.035797, and started running again at
465.240178. 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.
Sleeping-ebizzy records-per-second:
-----------------------------------
Utilization Without patch With patch Difference (Absolute and % values)
10% 274767 277046 + 2279 (+0.829%)
20% 543429 553484 + 10055 (+1.850%)
40% 1090744 1107959 + 17215 (+1.578%)
60% 1634908 1662018 + 27110 (+1.658%)
A rudimentary and somewhat approximately latency-sensitive workload such as
sleeping-ebizzy itself showed a consistent, noticeable performance improvement
with this patch. 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).

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:

In gov_queue_work(), lock cpufreq_governor_lock before gov_queue_work,
and unlock it after __gov_queue_work(). In this way, governor_enabled
is guaranteed not changed in gov_queue_work().

Workqueues are preemptible even if works are queued on them with
queue_work_on(). Let's use raw_smp_processor_id() here to silence
the warning.

- 'Governer' should be 'Governor'.
- 'S' is used for Siemens (electrical conductance) in SI units,
so use small 's' for seconds.

When a CPU is hot removed we'll cancel all the delayed work items
via gov_cancel_work(). Normally this will just cancels a delayed
timer on each CPU that the policy is managing and the work won't
run, but if the work is already running the workqueue code will
wait for the work to finish before continuing to prevent the
work items from re-queuing themselves like they normally do. This
scheme will work most of the time, except for the case where the
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. For example:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
cpu_down()
...
__cpufreq_remove_dev()
cpufreq_governor_dbs()
case CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP:
gov_cancel_work(dbs_data, policy);
cpu0 work is canceled
timer is canceled
cpu1 work is canceled <work runs>
<waits for cpu1> od_dbs_timer()
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:

This patch addresses the following issues in the header files in the
cpufreq core:
- Include headers in ascending order, so that we don't add same
many times by mistake.
- <asm/> must be included after <linux/>, so that they override
whatever they need to.
- Remove unnecessary includes.
- Don't include files already included by cpufreq.h or
cpufreq_governor.h.

The ondemand governor calculates load in terms of frequency and
increases it only if load_freq is greater than up_threshold
multiplied by the current or average frequency. This appears to
produce oscillations of frequency between min and max because,
for example, a relatively small load can easily saturate minimum
frequency and lead the CPU to the max. Then, it will decrease
back to the min due to small load_freq.
Change the calculation method of load and target frequency on the
basis of the following two observations:
- Load computation should not depend on the current or average
measured frequency. For example, absolute load of 80% at 100MHz
is not necessarily equivalent to 8% at 1000MHz in the next
sampling interval.
- It should be possible to increase the target frequency to any
value present in the frequency table proportional to the absolute
load, rather than to the max only, so that:
Target frequency = C * load
where we take C = policy->cpuinfo.max_freq / 100.
Tested on Intel i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz and on Quad core 1500MHz Krait.
Phoronix benchmark of Linux Kernel Compilation 3.1 test shows an
increase ~1.5% in performance. cpufreq_stats (time_in_state) shows
that middle frequencies are used more, with this patch. Highest
and lowest frequencies were used less by ~9%.
[rjw: We have run multiple other tests on kernels with this
change applied and in the vast majority of cases it turns out
that the resulting performance improvement also leads to reduced
consumption of energy. The change is additionally justified by
the overall simplification of the code in question.]

This sysfs file was called ignore_nice_load earlier and commit
4d5dcc4 (cpufreq: governor: Implement per policy instances of
governors) changed its name to ignore_nice by mistake.
Lets get it renamed back to its original name.

commit 2f7021a8 "cpufreq: protect 'policy->cpus' from offlining
during __gov_queue_work()" caused a regression in CPU hotplug,
because it lead to a deadlock between cpufreq governor worker thread
and the CPU hotplug writer task.
Lockdep splat corresponding to this deadlock is shown below:

[ 60.280582] smpboot: CPU 1 is now offline
The intention of that commit was to avoid warnings during CPU
hotplug, which indicated that offline CPUs were getting IPIs from the
cpufreq governor's work items. But the real root-cause of that
problem was commit a66b2e5 (cpufreq: Preserve sysfs files across
suspend/resume) because it totally skipped all the cpufreq callbacks
during CPU hotplug in the suspend/resume path, and hence it never
actually shut down the cpufreq governor's worker threads during CPU
offline in the suspend/resume path.
Reflecting back, the reason why we never suspected that commit as the
root-cause earlier, was that the original issue was reported with
just the halt command and nobody had brought in suspend/resume to the
equation.
The reason for _that_ in turn, as it turns out, is that earlier
halt/shutdown was being done by disabling non-boot CPUs while tasks
were frozen, just like suspend/resume.... but commit cf7df378a
(reboot: migrate shutdown/reboot to boot cpu) which came somewhere
along that very same time changed that logic: shutdown/halt no longer
takes CPUs offline. Thus, the test-cases for reproducing the bug
were vastly different and thus we went totally off the trail.
Overall, it was one hell of a confusion with so many commits
affecting each other and also affecting the symptoms of the problems
in subtle ways. Finally, now since the original problematic commit
(a66b2e5) has been completely reverted, revert this intermediate fix
too (2f7021a8), to fix the CPU hotplug deadlock. Phew!

When we don't have any file in cpu/cpufreq directory we shouldn't
create it. Specially with the introduction of per-policy governor
instance patchset, even governors are moved to
cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/governor-name directory and so this directory is
just not required.
Lets have it only when required.

get_governor_parent_kobj() can be used by any governor, generic
cpufreq governors or platform specific ones and so must be present in
cpufreq.c instead of cpufreq_governor.c.
This patch moves it to cpufreq.c. This also adds
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(get_governor_parent_kobj) so that modules can use
this function too.

It was caused by the policy->cpus changed during the process of
__gov_queue_work(), in other word, cpu offline happened.
Use get/put_online_cpus() to prevent the offline from happening while
__gov_queue_work() is running.

(cpufreq: governors: Avoid unnecessary per cpu timer interrupts)]

There are two types of INIT/EXIT activities that we need to do for
governors:
- Done only once per governor (doesn't depend how many instances of
the governor there are). eg: cpufreq_register_notifier() for
conservative governor.
- Done per governor instance, eg: sysfs_{create|remove}_group().
There were some corner cases where current code isn't able to handle
them separately and so failing for some test cases.
We use two separate variables now for keeping track of above two
requirements.
- governor->initialized for first one
- dbs_data->usage_count for per governor instance

Currently we always calculate the CPU iowait time and add it to idle time.
If we are in ondemand and we use io_is_busy, we re-calculate iowait time
and we subtract it from idle time.
With this patch iowait time is calculated only when necessary avoiding
the double call to get_cpu_iowait_time_us. We use a parameter in
function get_cpu_idle_time to distinguish when the iowait time will be
added to idle time or not, without the need of keeping the prev_io_wait.

Following patch has introduced per cpu timers or works for ondemand and
conservative governors.
commit 2abfa876f1117b0ab45f191fb1f82c41b1cbc8fe
Author: Rickard Andersson <rickard.andersson@stericsson.com>
Date: Thu Dec 27 14:55:38 2012 +0000
cpufreq: handle SW coordinated CPUs
This causes additional unnecessary interrupts on all cpus when the load is
recently evaluated by any other cpu. i.e. When load is recently evaluated by cpu
x, we don't really need any other cpu to evaluate this load again for the next
sampling_rate time.
Some sort of code is present to avoid that but we are still getting timer
interrupts for all cpus. A good way of avoiding this would be to modify delays
for all cpus (policy->cpus) whenever any cpu has evaluated load.
This patch does this change and some related code cleanup.

Currently, there can't be multiple instances of single governor_type.
If we have a multi-package system, where we have multiple instances
of struct policy (per package), we can't have multiple instances of
same governor. i.e. We can't have multiple instances of ondemand
governor for multiple packages.
Governors directory in sysfs is created at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/
governor-name/. Which again reflects that there can be only one
instance of a governor_type in the system.
This is a bottleneck for multicluster system, where we want different
packages to use same governor type, but with different tunables.
This patch uses the infrastructure provided by earlier patch and
implements init/exit routines for ondemand and conservative
governors.

On multi-policy systems there is a single instance of governor for both the
policies (if same governor is chosen for both policies). With the code update
from following patches:
8eeed09 cpufreq: governors: Get rid of dbs_data->enable field
b394058 cpufreq: governors: Reset tunables only for cpufreq_unregister_governor()
We are creating/removing sysfs directory of governor for for every call to
GOV_START and STOP. This would fail for multi-policy system as there is a
per-policy call to START/STOP.
This patch reuses the governor->initialized variable to detect total users of
governor.

This patch fixes a bug that occurred when we had load on a secondary CPU
and the primary CPU was sleeping. Only one sampling timer was spawned
and it was spawned as a deferred timer on the primary CPU, so when a
secondary CPU had a change in load this was not detected by the cpufreq
governor (both ondemand and conservative).
This patch make sure that deferred timers are run on all CPUs in the
case of software controlled CPUs that run on the same frequency.

This change was made by commit 8636fd2 (cpufreq: fix jiffies/cputime
mixup in conservative/ondemand governors) before, but then it has
been reverted inadvertently by commit 4471a34 (cpufreq: governors:
remove redundant code).
The changelog of commit 8636fd2's says:
The function get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy in both the conservative and
ondemand governors use jiffies_to_usecs to convert a cputime value
to usecs which gives the wrong value on architectures where cputime
and jiffies use different units. Only matters if NO_HZ is
disabled, since otherwise get_cpu_idle_time_us should already
return a valid value, and get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy isn't actually
called.
Since now we have only one common get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy() used by
both governors in question, modify it along the lines of commit
8636fd2 to restore the correct behavior.

There were few sparse warnings due to mismatch of type on function arguments.
Two types were used u64 and cputime64_t. Both are actually u64, so use u64 only.

Initially ondemand governor was written and then using its code conservative
governor is written. It used a lot of code from ondemand governor, but copy of
code was created instead of using the same routines from both governors. Which
increased code redundancy, which is difficult to manage.
This patch is an attempt to move common part of both the governors to
cpufreq_governor.c file to come over above mentioned issues.
This shouldn't change anything from functionality point of view.

The function get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy in both the conservative and
ondemand governors use jiffies_to_usecs to convert a cputime value to
usecs which gives the wrong value on architectures where cputime and
jiffies use different units. Only matters if NO_HZ is disabled, since
otherwise get_cpu_idle_time_us should already return a valid value, and
get_cpu_idle_time_jiffy isn't actually called.

Multiple cpufreq governers have defined similar get_cpu_idle_time_***()
routines. These routines must be moved to some common place, so that all
governors can use them.
So moving them to cpufreq_governor.c, which seems to be a better place for
keeping these routines.
