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