Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] cpufreq: CPPC: keep target core awake when reading its cpufreq rate

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

 




+Ionela, Sumit, Yang,

Hello Zeng,

I think solutions around related issues were suggested at:

[1]
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230418113459.12860-7-sumitg@xxxxxxxxxx/
[2]
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230328193846.8757-1-yang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
[3] https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZEl1Fms%2FJmdEZsVn@xxxxxxx/

About this patch, it seems to mean that CPPC counters of CPUx are always
accessed from CPUx, even when they are not AMUs. For instance CPPC
counters could be memory mapped and accessible from any CPU.
cpu_has_amu_feat() should allow to probe if a CPU uses AMUs or not,
and [2] had an implementation using it.

Another comment about PATCH 2/2 is that if the counters are accessed
through FFH, arm64 version of cpc_read_ffh() is calling
counters_read_on_cpu(), and a comment in counters_read_on_cpu() seems
to specify the function must be called with interrupt enabled.

I think the best solution so far was the one at [3], suggested by
Ionela,
but it doesn't seem to solve your issue. Indeed, it is not checked
whether
the counters are AMU counters and that they must be remotely read (to
have the CPU awake),

Regards,
Pierre


I think the solution in [1] is simple and solves all the three cases.
Also, it provides better accuracy between the set and get frequency as
compared to [3].

I don't think [1] patches work for our case. We use mmio instead of AMU.
Increasing delay could help to mitigate it somehow, buyt 25us is not
good enough for our case. IIRC the fix proposed by Ionela works for both
yours and mine.


I have added the CPC_IN_SYSTEM_MEMORY check from [2] in [1].
Could you please test if the below change works for you.

--------------------------------------------

We can add additional check to call smp_call_on_cpu() only when CPC_IN_FFH if we want to reduce the scope of calling smp_call_on_cpu.

This can be merged and can later still be improved in Upstream.

If OK, I can send new version by changing the patch to apply for all
ARM SoC's with AMU and not specific to Tegra.

Thank you,
Sumit Gupta
