42  * Concepts and ideas behind the menu governor
43  *
44  * For the menu governor, there are 3 decision factors for picking a C
45  * state:
46  * 1) Energy break even point
47  * 2) Performance impact
48  * 3) Latency tolerance (from pmqos infrastructure)
49  * These these three factors are treated independently.
50  *
51  * Energy break even point
52  * -----------------------
53  * C state entry and exit have an energy cost, and a certain amount of time in
54  * the  C state is required to actually break even on this cost. CPUIDLE
55  * provides us this duration in the "target_residency" field. So all that we
56  * need is a good prediction of how long we'll be idle. Like the traditional
57  * menu governor, we start with the actual known "next timer event" time.
58  *
59  * Since there are other source of wakeups (interrupts for example) than
60  * the next timer event, this estimation is rather optimistic. To get a
61  * more realistic estimate, a correction factor is applied to the estimate,
62  * that is based on historic behavior. For example, if in the past the actual
63  * duration always was 50% of the next timer tick, the correction factor will
64  * be 0.5.
65  *
66  * menu uses a running average for this correction factor, however it uses a
67  * set of factors, not just a single factor. This stems from the realization
68  * that the ratio is dependent on the order of magnitude of the expected
69  * duration; if we expect 500 milliseconds of idle time the likelihood of
70  * getting an interrupt very early is much higher than if we expect 50 micro
71  * seconds of idle time. A second independent factor that has big impact on
72  * the actual factor is if there is (disk) IO outstanding or not.
73  * (as a special twist, we consider every sleep longer than 50 milliseconds
74  * as perfect; there are no power gains for sleeping longer than this)
75  *
76  * For these two reasons we keep an array of 12 independent factors, that gets
77  * indexed based on the magnitude of the expected duration as well as the
78  * "is IO outstanding" property.
79  *
80  * Repeatable-interval-detector
81  * ----------------------------
82  * There are some cases where "next timer" is a completely unusable predictor:
83  * Those cases where the interval is fixed, for example due to hardware
84  * interrupt mitigation, but also due to fixed transfer rate devices such as
85  * mice.
86  * For this, we use a different predictor: We track the duration of the last 8
87  * intervals and if the stand deviation of these 8 intervals is below a
88  * threshold value, we use the average of these intervals as prediction.
89  *
90  * Limiting Performance Impact
91  * ---------------------------
92  * C states, especially those with large exit latencies, can have a real
93  * noticeable impact on workloads, which is not acceptable for most sysadmins,
94  * and in addition, less performance has a power price of its own.
95  *
96  * As a general rule of thumb, menu assumes that the following heuristic
97  * holds:
98  *     The busier the system, the less impact of C states is acceptable
99  *
100  * This rule-of-thumb is implemented using a performance-multiplier:
101  * If the exit latency times the performance multiplier is longer than
102  * the predicted duration, the C state is not considered a candidate
103  * for selection due to a too high performance impact. So the higher
104  * this multiplier is, the longer we need to be idle to pick a deep C
105  * state, and thus the less likely a busy CPU will hit such a deep
106  * C state.
107  *
108  * Two factors are used in determing this multiplier:
109  * a value of 10 is added for each point of "per cpu load average" we have.
110  * a value of 5 points is added for each process that is waiting for
111  * IO on this CPU.
112  * (these values are experimentally determined)
113  *
114  * The load average factor gives a longer term (few seconds) input to the
115  * decision, while the iowait value gives a cpu local instantanious input.
116  * The iowait factor may look low, but realize that this is also already
117  * represented in the system load average.
