This patch series is definitely big. Yup. But it all goes together... here's why: This series implements full support for CPU scaling on *many* Qualcomm SoCs and partial support for the others on which the Operating State Manager is not present. Since this is a bit tangled, let's go step by step. First of all, there's the SPM: this is a component that we can find on very old chips, like MSM8974; there, it has been used to actually do the power scaling basically "on its own" - sending the cores in a specific sleep mode to save power. On the newer ones, including MSM8998, SDM630, 660 and others, it is still present! Though, this time, it's being used for the cluster caches and it has a different firmware (and maybe it's also slightly different HW), implementing the SAWv4.1 set and getting controlled *not by the OS* but by other controllers in the SoC (like the OSM). Contrary from MSM8974 and the like, this new version of the SPM just requires us to set the initial parameters for AVS and *nothing else*, as its states will be totally managed internally. Then, hardening here we come! In all the new SoCs - as new as SM8150 and most probably even newer ones - there are also new versions of "the same old story".. and here I'm referring to the Core Power Reduction (CPR) block: since MSM8996 (or around that time frame), this block has got a sort of major change... which actually varies the register set and implements "threads". I won't go far with explaining that in this cover letter (as it's all explained in the commits) but, in short, here's the catch: CPR v3, v4 and CPR-Hardened are all based over the same register set and are extensions of their previous. A sort of special treatment must be given to CPR-Hardened (CPRh): this is the one that's present on the newest SoCs, as this is a hardened version of CPR4 and - in this version - it has got the ability to also get managed internally, along with the SAWv4.1, by the Operating State Manager (OSM). And finally, we get to the OSM. This final piece appeared on MSM8998 for the first time (as far as I know), and it is (a sort of microcontroller?) doing the "real deal": CPU DVFS through a lookup table providing "corners" - or "performance states" - to the OS; pretty straightforward way of offloading a whole lot of tasks that the kernel would otherwise have to do. And there we go with the full picture: - From SDM845 onwards, SAW, CPRh and OSM are getting setup by the bootloader/TZ *before* booting the OS, so then all the OS has to do is to request a specific performance state to the OSM hardware and forget about all the rest, which is anyway protected by the hypervisor (so there's no access anyway); BUT: - In MSM/APQ 8998, SDM/SDA 630/636/660 (and other variants), there is no setup of any of these puzzle pieces, and they're also (basically) fully accessible, which means that the OS must do it in order to get in the same state as the newer ones and to get the entire scaling hardware to start rolling. "Simply", that's it. Now that I've written a kilometer-long "short explaination" of what's going on, there's a shorter version of it: - On new SoCs, the bootloader sets up the entire thing - On old ones, the OS must do what the bootloader didn't do. - That's what this patch series does. :)) There's also slightly more: since - as already explained - the CPR-Hardened is an incremental upgrade of CPR v3->v4, it was necessary for me to also implement support for these two versions, present in "another whole bunch" of Qualcomm SoCs, including MSM8953, MSM8996 and others, which is used to do either power reduction or complete voltage scaling for the CPU clusters on these old ones... and, well, also in 8998/630/660 along with the Hardened one... and the reason is... that this piece of HW is also capable of doing the same with the GPU, even though this is not yet implemented in this set. I didn't feel like implementing the Multimedia Subsystem (MMSS) part of the CPR3/4 in this patch series because, eh, it's already long enough, I'd say.
