ondemand: Solve a big performance issue by counting IOWAIT time as busy
The ondemand cpufreq governor uses CPU busy time (e.g. not-idle
time) as a measure for scaling the CPU frequency up or down.
If the CPU is busy, the CPU frequency scales up, if it's idle,
the CPU frequency scales down. Effectively, it uses the CPU busy
time as proxy variable for the more nebulous "how critical is
performance right now" question.
This algorithm falls flat on its face in the light of workloads
where you're alternatingly disk and CPU bound, such as the ever
popular "git grep", but also things like startup of programs and
maildir using email clients... much to the chagarin of Andrew
Morton.
This patch changes the ondemand algorithm to count iowait time
as busy, not idle, time. As shown in the breakdown cases above,
iowait is performance critical often, and by counting iowait,
the proxy variable becomes a more accurate representation of the
"how critical is performance" question.
The problem and fix are both verified with the "perf timechar"
tool.

[CPUFREQ][2/2] ondemand: updated add powersave_bias tunable
ondemand selects the minimum frequency that can retire
a workload with negligible idle time -- ideally resulting in the highest
performance/power efficiency with negligible performance impact.
But on some systems and some workloads, this algorithm
is more performance biased than necessary, and
de-tuning it a bit to allow some performance impact
can save measurable power.
This patch adds a "powersave_bias" tunable to ondemand
to allow it to reduce its target frequency by a specified percent.
By default, the powersave_bias is 0 and has no effect.
powersave_bias is in units of 0.1%, so it has an effective range
of 1 through 1000, resulting in 0.1% to 100% impact.
In practice, users will not be able to detect a difference between
0.1% increments, but 1.0% increments turned out to be too large.
Also, the max value of 1000 (100%) would simply peg the system
in its deepest power saving P-state, unless the processor really has
a hardware P-state at 0Hz:-)
For example, If ondemand requests 2.0GHz based on utilization,
and powersave_bias=100, this code will knock 10% off the target
and seek a target of 1.8GHz instead of 2.0GHz until the
next sampling. If 1.8 is an exact match with an hardware frequency
we use it, otherwise we average our time between the frequency
next higher than 1.8 and next lower than 1.8.
Note that a user or administrative program can change powersave_bias
at run-time depending on how they expect the system to be used.

is more performance biased than necessary, and
de-tuning it a bit to allow some performance impact
can save measurable power.
This patch adds a "powersave_bias" tunable to ondemand
to allow it to reduce its target frequency by a specified percent.
By default, the powersave_bias is 0 and has no effect.
powersave_bias is in units of 0.1%, so it has an effective range
of 1 through 1000, resulting in 0.1% to 100% impact.
In practice, users will not be able to detect a difference between
0.1% increments, but 1.0% increments turned out to be too large.
Also, the max value of 1000 (100%) would simply peg the system
in its deepest power saving P-state, unless the processor really has
a hardware P-state at 0Hz:-)
For example, If ondemand requests 2.0GHz based on utilization,
and powersave_bias=100, this code will knock 10% off the target
and seek a target of 1.8GHz instead of 2.0GHz until the
next sampling. If 1.8 is an exact match with an hardware frequency
we use it, otherwise we average our time between the frequency
next higher than 1.8 and next lower than 1.8.
Note that a user or administrative program can change powersave_bias
at run-time depending on how they expect the system to be used.

cpufreq: ondemand: Eliminate the deadband effect
Currently, ondemand calculates the target frequency proportional to load
using the formula:
Target frequency = C * load
where C = policy->cpuinfo.max_freq / 100
Though, in many cases, the minimum available frequency is pretty high and
the above calculation introduces a dead band from load 0 to
100 * policy->cpuinfo.min_freq / policy->cpuinfo.max_freq where the target
frequency is always calculated to less than policy->cpuinfo.min_freq and
the minimum frequency is selected.
For example: on Intel i7-3770 @ 3.4GHz the policy->cpuinfo.min_freq = 1600000
and the policy->cpuinfo.max_freq = 3400000 (without turbo). Thus, the CPU
starts to scale up at a load above 47.
On quad core 1500MHz Krait the policy->cpuinfo.min_freq = 384000
and the policy->cpuinfo.max_freq = 1512000. Thus, the CPU starts to scale
at load above 25.
Change the calculation of target frequency to eliminate the above effect using
the formula:
Target frequency = A + B * load
where A = policy->cpuinfo.min_freq and
B = (policy->cpuinfo.max_freq - policy->cpuinfo->min_freq) / 100
This will map load values 0 to 100 linearly to cpuinfo.min_freq to
cpuinfo.max_freq.
Also, use the CPUFREQ_RELATION_C in __cpufreq_driver_target to select the
closest frequency in frequency_table. This is necessary to avoid selection
of minimum frequency only when load equals to 0. It will also help for selection
of frequencies using a more 'fair' criterion.
Tables below show the difference in selected frequency for specific values
of load without and with this patch. On Intel i7-3770 @ 3.40GHz:

[CPUFREQ][2/2] ondemand: updated add powersave_bias tunable
ondemand selects the minimum frequency that can retire
a workload with negligible idle time -- ideally resulting in the highest
performance/power efficiency with negligible performance impact.
But on some systems and some workloads, this algorithm
is more performance biased than necessary, and
de-tuning it a bit to allow some performance impact
can save measurable power.
This patch adds a "powersave_bias" tunable to ondemand
to allow it to reduce its target frequency by a specified percent.
By default, the powersave_bias is 0 and has no effect.
powersave_bias is in units of 0.1%, so it has an effective range
of 1 through 1000, resulting in 0.1% to 100% impact.
In practice, users will not be able to detect a difference between
0.1% increments, but 1.0% increments turned out to be too large.
Also, the max value of 1000 (100%) would simply peg the system
in its deepest power saving P-state, unless the processor really has
a hardware P-state at 0Hz:-)
For example, If ondemand requests 2.0GHz based on utilization,
and powersave_bias=100, this code will knock 10% off the target
and seek a target of 1.8GHz instead of 2.0GHz until the
next sampling. If 1.8 is an exact match with an hardware frequency
we use it, otherwise we average our time between the frequency
next higher than 1.8 and next lower than 1.8.
Note that a user or administrative program can change powersave_bias
at run-time depending on how they expect the system to be used.

cpufreq: governor: New sysfs show/store callbacks for governor tunables
The ondemand and conservative governors use the global-attr or freq-attr
structures to represent sysfs attributes corresponding to their tunables
(which of them is actually used depends on whether or not different
policy objects can use the same governor with different tunables at the
same time and, consequently, on where those attributes are located in
sysfs).
Unfortunately, in the freq-attr case, the standard cpufreq show/store
sysfs attribute callbacks are applied to the governor tunable attributes
and they always acquire the policy->rwsem lock before carrying out the
operation. That may lead to an ABBA deadlock if governor tunable
attributes are removed under policy->rwsem while one of them is being
accessed concurrently (if sysfs attributes removal wins the race, it
will wait for the access to complete with policy->rwsem held while the
attribute callback will block on policy->rwsem indefinitely).
We attempted to address this issue by dropping policy->rwsem around
governor tunable attributes removal (that is, around invocations of the
->governor callback with the event arg equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT)
in cpufreq_set_policy(), but that opened up race conditions that had not
been possible with policy->rwsem held all the time. Therefore
policy->rwsem cannot be dropped in cpufreq_set_policy() at any point,
but the deadlock situation described above must be avoided too.
To that end, use the observation that in principle governor tunables may
be represented by the same data type regardless of whether the governor
is system-wide or per-policy and introduce a new structure, struct
governor_attr, for representing them and new corresponding macros for
creating show/store sysfs callbacks for them. Also make their parent
kobject use a new kobject type whose default show/store callbacks are
not related to the standard core cpufreq ones in any way (and they don't
acquire policy->rwsem in particular).

ondemand: Solve a big performance issue by counting IOWAIT time as busy
The ondemand cpufreq governor uses CPU busy time (e.g. not-idle
time) as a measure for scaling the CPU frequency up or down.
If the CPU is busy, the CPU frequency scales up, if it's idle,
the CPU frequency scales down. Effectively, it uses the CPU busy
time as proxy variable for the more nebulous "how critical is
performance right now" question.
This algorithm falls flat on its face in the light of workloads
where you're alternatingly disk and CPU bound, such as the ever
popular "git grep", but also things like startup of programs and
maildir using email clients... much to the chagarin of Andrew
Morton.
This patch changes the ondemand algorithm to count iowait time
as busy, not idle, time. As shown in the breakdown cases above,
iowait is performance critical often, and by counting iowait,
the proxy variable becomes a more accurate representation of the
"how critical is performance" question.
The problem and fix are both verified with the "perf timechar"
tool.

cpufreq: governor: New sysfs show/store callbacks for governor tunables
The ondemand and conservative governors use the global-attr or freq-attr
structures to represent sysfs attributes corresponding to their tunables
(which of them is actually used depends on whether or not different
policy objects can use the same governor with different tunables at the
same time and, consequently, on where those attributes are located in
sysfs).
Unfortunately, in the freq-attr case, the standard cpufreq show/store
sysfs attribute callbacks are applied to the governor tunable attributes
and they always acquire the policy->rwsem lock before carrying out the
operation. That may lead to an ABBA deadlock if governor tunable
attributes are removed under policy->rwsem while one of them is being
accessed concurrently (if sysfs attributes removal wins the race, it
will wait for the access to complete with policy->rwsem held while the
attribute callback will block on policy->rwsem indefinitely).
We attempted to address this issue by dropping policy->rwsem around
governor tunable attributes removal (that is, around invocations of the
->governor callback with the event arg equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT)
in cpufreq_set_policy(), but that opened up race conditions that had not
been possible with policy->rwsem held all the time. Therefore
policy->rwsem cannot be dropped in cpufreq_set_policy() at any point,
but the deadlock situation described above must be avoided too.
To that end, use the observation that in principle governor tunables may
be represented by the same data type regardless of whether the governor
is system-wide or per-policy and introduce a new structure, struct
governor_attr, for representing them and new corresponding macros for
creating show/store sysfs callbacks for them. Also make their parent
kobject use a new kobject type whose default show/store callbacks are
not related to the standard core cpufreq ones in any way (and they don't
acquire policy->rwsem in particular).
