[RFC PATCH] cpufreq: stats: Add 'load_table' sysfs file to show accumulated data of CPU

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch add new sysfs file to show previous accumulated data of CPU load
as following path. This sysfs file is used to judge the correct system state
or determine suitable system resource on user-space.
- /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/load_table

This sysfs file include following data:
- Measurement point of time
- CPU frequency
- Per-CPU load

Additionally, I explain an example using 'load_table' sysfs entry.

Exynos4412 series has Quad-core and all cores share the power-line.
I cann't set diffent voltage/frequency to each CPU. To reduce power-
consumption, I certainly have to turn on/off CPU online state
according to CPU load on runtime. As a result, I peridically need to
monitor current cpu state to determine a proper amount of system
resource(necessary number of online cpu) and to delete wasted power.
So, I need 'load_table' sysfs file to monitor current cpu state.

I add a table which show power consumption of target based on
Exynos4412 SoC. This table indicate the difference power-consumption
according to a number of online core and with same number of running task.

[Environment of power estimation]
- cpufreq governor used performance mode to estimate power-consumption on each frequency step.
- Use infinite-loop test program which execute while statement infinitely.
- Always measure the power consumption under same temperature during 1 minutes.
- Unit is mA.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A number of Online core	| Core 1	| Core 2		| Core 3			| Core 4
A number of nr_running	| 0	1	| 0	1	2	| 0	1	2	3	| 0	1	2	3	4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 CPU Frequency		| 
 800  MHz		| 293 	330 	| 295 	338 	379 	| 300 	339 	386 	433 	| 303 	341 	390 	412 	482 
 1000 MHz		| 312 	371 	| 316 	377 	435 	| 318 	383 	454 	522 	| 322 	391 	462 	526 	596 
 1200 MHz		| 323 	404 	| 328 	418 	504 	| 336 	423 	521 	615 	| 343 	433 	499 	639 	748 
 1600 MHz 		| 380 	525 	| 388 	556 	771 	| 399 	575 	771 	1011 	| 412 	597 	822 	1172 	1684 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For example,
The case A/B/C have the same condition except for a number of online core.
- case A: Online core is 2, 1000MHz and nr_running is 1	: 377mA
- case B: Online core is 3, 1000MHz and nr_running is 1	: 383mA
- case C: Online core is 4, 1000Mz and nr_running is 1	: 391mA

If system has only one running task, cpu hotplug policy, by monitoring
cpu state through 'load_table' sysfs file on user-space,
will determine 'case A' state for reducing power-consumption.

Show the result of reading 'load_table sysfs file as following:
- cpufreq governor is ondemand_org governor.
