[PATCH 1/7] PM / OPP: Introduce a power estimation helper

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

 



The Energy Model (EM) framework provides an API to let drivers register
the active power of CPUs. The drivers are expected to provide a callback
method which estimates the power consumed by a CPU at each available
performance levels. How exactly this should be implemented, however,
depends on the platform.

On some systems, PM_OPP knows the voltage and frequency at which CPUs
can run. When coupled with the CPU 'capacitance' (as provided by the
'dynamic-power-coefficient' devicetree binding), it is possible to
estimate the dynamic power consumption of a CPU as P = C * V^2 * f, with
C its capacitance and V and f respectively the voltage and frequency of
the OPP. The Intelligent Power Allocator (IPA) thermal governor already
implements that estimation method, in the thermal framework.

However, this power estimation method can be applied to any platform
where all the parameters are known (C, V and f), and not only those
suffering thermal issues. As such, the code implementing this feature
can be re-used to also populate the EM framework now used by EAS.

As a first step, introduce in PM_OPP a helper function which CPUFreq
drivers can use to register into the EM framework. This duplicates the
power estimation done in IPA until it can be migrated to using the EM
framework. This will be done later, once the EM framework has support
for at least all platforms currently supported by IPA.
