From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> Add a new cpufreq scaling governor, called "schedutil", that uses scheduler-provided CPU utilization information as input for making its decisions. Doing that is possible after commit 34e2c555f3e1 (cpufreq: Add mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks) that introduced cpufreq_update_util() called by the scheduler on utilization changes (from CFS) and RT/DL task status updates. In particular, CPU frequency scaling decisions may be based on the the utilization data passed to cpufreq_update_util() by CFS. The new governor is relatively simple. The frequency selection formula used by it depends on whether or not the utilization is frequency-invariant. In the frequency-invariant case the new CPU frequency is given by next_freq = 1.25 * max_freq * util / max where util and max are the last two arguments of cpufreq_update_util(). In turn, if util is not frequency-invariant, the maximum frequency in the above formula is replaced with the current frequency of the CPU: next_freq = 1.25 * curr_freq * util / max The coefficient 1.25 corresponds to the frequency tipping point at (util / max) = 0.8. All of the computations are carried out in the utilization update handlers provided by the new governor. One of those handlers is used for cpufreq policies shared between multiple CPUs and the other one is for policies with one CPU only (and therefore it doesn't need to use any extra synchronization means). The governor supports fast frequency switching if that is supported by the cpufreq driver in use and possible for the given policy. In the fast switching case, all operations of the governor take place in its utilization update handlers. If fast switching cannot be used, the frequency switch operations are carried out with the help of a work item which only calls __cpufreq_driver_target() (under a mutex) to trigger a frequency update (to a value already computed beforehand in one of the utilization update handlers). Currently, the governor treats all of the RT and DL tasks as "unknown utilization" and sets the frequency to the allowed maximum when updated from the RT or DL sched classes. That heavy-handed approach should be replaced with something more subtle and specifically targeted at RT and DL tasks. The governor shares some tunables management code with the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors and uses some common definitions from cpufreq_governor.h, but apart from that it is stand-alone. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> --- The reason I decided to use policy->cur as the current frequency representation is that it happens to hold the value in question in both the "fast switch" and the "work item" cases quite naturally. The (rather theoretical) concern about it is that policy->cur may be updated by the core asynchronously if it thinks that it got out of sync with the "real" setting (as reported by the driver's ->get routine). I don't think it will turn out to be a real problem in practice, though. Changes from v3: - The "next frequency" formula based on http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=145756618321500&w=4 and http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=145760739700716&w=4 - The governor goes into kernel/sched/ (again). Changes from v2: - The governor goes into drivers/cpufreq/. - The "next frequency" formula has an additional 1.1 factor to allow more util/max values to map onto the top-most frequency in case the distance between that and the previous one is unproportionally small. - sugov_update_commit() traces CPU frequency even if the new one is the same as the previous one (otherwise, if the system is 100% loaded for long enough, powertop starts to report that all CPUs are 100% idle). --- drivers/cpufreq/Kconfig | 26 + kernel/sched/Makefile | 1 kernel/sched/cpufreq_schedutil.c | 531 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kernel/sched/sched.h | 8 4 files changed, 566 insertions(+) Index: linux-pm/drivers/cpufreq/Kconfig =================================================================== --- linux-pm.orig/drivers/cpufreq/Kconfig +++ linux-pm/drivers/cpufreq/Kconfig @@ -107,6 +107,16 @@ config CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_CONSERVATIVE Be aware that not all cpufreq drivers support the conservative governor.
