CPUIDLE 45 * provides us this duration in the "target_residency" field. So all that we 46 * need is a good prediction of how long we'll be idle. Like the traditional 47 * menu governor, we start with the actual known "next timer event" time. 48 * 49 * Since there are other source of wakeups (interrupts for example) than 50 * the next timer event, this estimation is rather optimistic. To get a 51 * more realistic estimate, a correction factor is applied to the estimate, 52 * that is based on historic behavior. For example, if in the past the actual 53 * duration always was 50% of the next timer tick, the correction factor will 54 * be 0.5. 55 * 56 * menu uses a running average for this correction factor, however it uses a 57 * set of factors, not just a single factor. This stems from the realization 58 * that the ratio is dependent on the order of magnitude of the expected 59 * duration; if we expect 500 milliseconds of idle time the likelihood of 60 * getting an interrupt very early is much higher than if we expect 50 micro 61 * seconds of idle time. A second independent factor that has big impact on 62 * the actual factor is if there is (disk) IO outstanding or not. 63 * (as a special twist, we consider every sleep longer than 50 milliseconds 64 * as perfect; there are no power gains for sleeping longer than this) 65 * 66 * For these two reasons we keep an array of 12 independent factors, that gets 67 * indexed based on the magnitude of the expected duration as well as the 68 * "is IO outstanding" property. 69 * 70 * Repeatable-interval-detector 71 * ---------------------------- 72 * There are some cases where "next timer" is a completely unusable predictor: 73 * Those cases where the interval is fixed, for example due to hardware 74 * interrupt mitigation, but also due to fixed transfer rate devices such as 75 * mice. 76 * For this, we use a different predictor: We track the duration of the last 8 77 * intervals and if the stand deviation of these 8 intervals is below a 78 * threshold value, we use the average of these intervals as prediction. 79 * 80 * Limiting Performance Impact 81 * --------------------------- 82 * C states, especially those with large exit latencies, can have a real 83 * noticeable impact on workloads, which is not acceptable for most sysadmins, 84 * and in addition, less performance has a power price of its own. 85 * 86 * As a general rule of thumb, menu assumes that the following heuristic 87 * holds: 88 * The busier the system, the less impact of C states is acceptable 89 * 90 * This rule-of-thumb is implemented using a performance-multiplier: 91 * If the exit latency times the performance multiplier is longer than 92 * the predicted duration, the C state is not considered a candidate 93 * for selection due to a too high performance impact. So the higher 94 * this multiplier is, the longer we need to be idle to pick a deep C 95 * state, and thus the less likely a busy CPU will hit such a deep 96 * C state. 97 * 98 * Two factors are used in determing this multiplier: 99 * a value of 10 is added for each point of "per cpu load average" we have. 100 * a value of 5 points is added for each process that is waiting for 101 * IO on this CPU. 102 * (these values are experimentally determined) 103 * 104 * The load average factor gives a longer term (few seconds) input to the 105 * decision, while the iowait value gives a cpu local instantanious input. 106 * The iowait factor may look low, but realize that this is also already 107 * represented in the system load average. 108 * 109 */ 110 111 struct menu_device { 112 int last_state_idx; 113 int needs_update; 114 115 unsigned int expected_us; 116 u64 predicted_us; 117 unsigned int exit_us; 118 unsigned int bucket; 119 u64 correction_factor[BUCKETS]; 120 u32 intervals[INTERVALS]; 121 int interval_ptr; 122 }; 123 124 125 #define LOAD_INT(x) ((x) >> FSHIFT) 126 #define LOAD_FRAC(x) LOAD_INT(((x) & (FIXED_1-1)) * 100) 127 128 static int get_loadavg(void) 129 { 130 unsigned long this = this_cpu_load(); 131 132 133 return LOAD_INT(this) * 10 + LOAD_FRAC(this) / 10; 134 } 135 136 static inline int which_bucket(unsigned int duration) 137 { 138 int bucket = 0; 139 140 /* 141 * We keep two groups of stats; one with no 142 * IO pending, one without. 143 * This allows us to calculate 144 * E(duration)|iowait 145 */ 146 if (nr_iowait_cpu(smp_processor_id())) 147 bucket = BUCKETS/2; 148 149 if (duration < 10) 150 return bucket; 151 if (duration < 100) 152 return bucket + 1; 153 if (duration < 1000) 154 return bucket + 2; 155 if (duration < 10000) 156 return bucket + 3; 157 if (duration < 100000) 158 return bucket + 4; 159 return bucket + 5; 160 } 161 162 /* 163 * Return a multiplier for the exit latency that is intended 164 * to take performance requirements into account. 165 * The more performance critical we estimate the system 166 * to be, the higher this multiplier, and thus the higher 167 * the barrier to go to an expensive C state. 168 */ 169 static inline int performance_multiplier(void) 170 { 171 int mult = 1; 172 173 /* for higher loadavg, we are more reluctant */ 174 175 mult += 2 * get_loadavg(); 176 177 /* for IO wait tasks (per cpu!) we add 5x each */ 178 mult += 10 * nr_iowait_cpu(smp_processor_id()); 179 180 return mult; 181 } 182 183 static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct menu_device, menu_devices); 184 185 static void menu_update(struct cpuidle_device *dev); 186 187 /* This implements DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST but avoids 64 bit division */ 188 static u64 div_round64(u64 dividend, u32 divisor) 189 { 190 return div_u64(dividend + (divisor / 2), divisor); 191 } 192 193 /* 194 * Try detecting repeating patterns by keeping track of the last 8 195 * intervals, and checking if the standard deviation of that set 196 * of points is below a threshold.
