This allows CPUFREQ governors to realize when the system becomes
non-CPU-bound due to GPU rendering activity, and cause them to respond
more conservatively to the workload by limiting their response
frequency: CPU energy usage will be reduced when there isn't a good
chance for system performance to scale with CPU frequency due to the
GPU bottleneck. This leaves additional TDP budget available for the
GPU to reach higher frequencies, which may be translated into an
improvement in graphics performance to the extent that the workload
remains TDP-limited. If the workload isn't (anymore) TDP-limited
performance should stay roughly constant, but energy usage will be
divided by a similar factor.
The metric used by this patch in order to determine whether the GPU is
unlikely to be a bottleneck may not be particularly obvious: We only
specify a reduced PM QoS response frequency target whenever both
execlists ELSP ports are simultaneously active, since in that case we
know that the completion of one context will lead to the immediate
execution of another, which means that the GPU can be kept busy
without the execlists submission code rushing to submit a new request,
so CPU latency shouldn't be a concern.
This might miss some workloads that could theoretically benefit from
this optimization, since some applications are unable to keep both
ELSP ports active for a significant fraction of time even though they
are GPU-bound, however using the single-ELSP utilization as metric
would neglect the CPU latency-sensitivity of the execlists submission
code, which would lead to large regressions in x11perf and
jxrendermark. For that reason this patch takes the rather
conservative approach of restricting the optimization to workloads
that effectively utilize both ELSP ports, which indicates that command
submission latency is unlikely to be an issue.
Note that this is currently only enabled for execlists submission. It
might be beneficial to do the same thing in combination with GuC
submission, but the metric would be slightly different since we
wouldn't need to care about multiple ELSP ports being in use.
In order to further prevent regressions the optimization is enabled
with a delay in order to avoid performance degradation of applications
that quickly switch back and forth between being GPU-bound and
CPU-bound. A reduced PM QoS scaling response frequency target will
only be specified if the GPU has been continuously utilized for a long
enough period of time.
v3: Assorted clean-ups (Chris). Improved documentation (Tvrtko). Fix
interaction with single-ELSP preemption (Chris). Move overload
signalling to process_csb() to reduce bias due to interrupt
latency (Francisco). Rename CPU_RESPONSE_FREQUENCY to
CPU_SCALING_RESPONSE (Rafael). Adjust heuristic parameters to
avoid regressions from other v3 governor changes (Francisco).
