30  * Concepts and ideas behind the menu governor
31  *
32  * For the menu governor, there are 3 decision factors for picking a C
33  * state:
34  * 1) Energy break even point
35  * 2) Performance impact
36  * 3) Latency tolerance (from pmqos infrastructure)
37  * These three factors are treated independently.
38  *
39  * Energy break even point
40  * -----------------------
41  * C state entry and exit have an energy cost, and a certain amount of time in
42  * the  C state is required to actually break even on this cost. CPUIDLE
43  * provides us this duration in the "target_residency" field. So all that we
44  * need is a good prediction of how long we'll be idle. Like the traditional
45  * menu governor, we start with the actual known "next timer event" time.
46  *
47  * Since there are other source of wakeups (interrupts for example) than
48  * the next timer event, this estimation is rather optimistic. To get a
49  * more realistic estimate, a correction factor is applied to the estimate,
50  * that is based on historic behavior. For example, if in the past the actual
51  * duration always was 50% of the next timer tick, the correction factor will
52  * be 0.5.
53  *
54  * menu uses a running average for this correction factor, however it uses a
55  * set of factors, not just a single factor. This stems from the realization
56  * that the ratio is dependent on the order of magnitude of the expected
57  * duration; if we expect 500 milliseconds of idle time the likelihood of
58  * getting an interrupt very early is much higher than if we expect 50 micro
59  * seconds of idle time. A second independent factor that has big impact on
60  * the actual factor is if there is (disk) IO outstanding or not.
61  * (as a special twist, we consider every sleep longer than 50 milliseconds
62  * as perfect; there are no power gains for sleeping longer than this)
63  *
64  * For these two reasons we keep an array of 12 independent factors, that gets
65  * indexed based on the magnitude of the expected duration as well as the
66  * "is IO outstanding" property.
67  *
68  * Repeatable-interval-detector
69  * ----------------------------
70  * There are some cases where "next timer" is a completely unusable predictor:
71  * Those cases where the interval is fixed, for example due to hardware
72  * interrupt mitigation, but also due to fixed transfer rate devices such as
73  * mice.
74  * For this, we use a different predictor: We track the duration of the last 8
75  * intervals and if the stand deviation of these 8 intervals is below a
76  * threshold value, we use the average of these intervals as prediction.
77  *
78  * Limiting Performance Impact
79  * ---------------------------
80  * C states, especially those with large exit latencies, can have a real
81  * noticeable impact on workloads, which is not acceptable for most sysadmins,
82  * and in addition, less performance has a power price of its own.
83  *
84  * As a general rule of thumb, menu assumes that the following heuristic
85  * holds:
86  *     The busier the system, the less impact of C states is acceptable
87  *
88  * This rule-of-thumb is implemented using a performance-multiplier:
89  * If the exit latency times the performance multiplier is longer than
90  * the predicted duration, the C state is not considered a candidate
91  * for selection due to a too high performance impact. So the higher
92  * this multiplier is, the longer we need to be idle to pick a deep C
93  * state, and thus the less likely a busy CPU will hit such a deep
94  * C state.
95  *
96  * Two factors are used in determing this multiplier:
97  * a value of 10 is added for each point of "per cpu load average" we have.
98  * a value of 5 points is added for each process that is waiting for
99  * IO on this CPU.
100  * (these values are experimentally determined)
101  *
102  * The load average factor gives a longer term (few seconds) input to the
103  * decision, while the iowait value gives a cpu local instantanious input.
104  * The iowait factor may look low, but realize that this is also already
105  * represented in the system load average.
