[CPUFREQ] Avoid the ondemand cpufreq governor to use a too high frequency for stats.
The problem is in the ondemand governor, there is a periodic measurement
of the CPU usage. This CPU usage is updated by the scheduler after every
tick (basically, by adding 1 either to "idle" or to "user" or to
"system"). So if the frequency of the governor is too high, the stat
will be meaningless (as mostly no number have changed).
So this patch checks that the measurements are separated by at least 10
ticks. It means that by default, stats will have about 5% error (20
ticks). Of course those numbers can be argued but, IMHO, they look sane.
The patch also includes a small clean-up to check more explictly the
result of the conversion from ns to µs being null.
Let's note that (on x86) this has never been really needed before 2.6.13
because HZ was always 1000. Now that HZ can be 100, some CPU might be
affected by this problem. For instance when HZ=100, the centrino ,which
has a 10µs transition latency, would lead to the governor allowing to
read stats every tick (10ms)!

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.

of 1 through 1000, resulting in 0.1% to 100% impact.
In practice, users will not be able to detect a difference between

Also, the max value of 1000 (100%) would simply peg the system

For example, If ondemand requests 2.0GHz based on utilization,

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

[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.

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.

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][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.

/* policy latency is in nS. Convert it to uS first */
[CPUFREQ] Avoid the ondemand cpufreq governor to use a too high frequency for stats.
The problem is in the ondemand governor, there is a periodic measurement
of the CPU usage. This CPU usage is updated by the scheduler after every
tick (basically, by adding 1 either to "idle" or to "user" or to
"system"). So if the frequency of the governor is too high, the stat
will be meaningless (as mostly no number have changed).
So this patch checks that the measurements are separated by at least 10
ticks. It means that by default, stats will have about 5% error (20
ticks). Of course those numbers can be argued but, IMHO, they look sane.
The patch also includes a small clean-up to check more explictly the
result of the conversion from ns to µs being null.
Let's note that (on x86) this has never been really needed before 2.6.13
because HZ was always 1000. Now that HZ can be 100, some CPU might be
affected by this problem. For instance when HZ=100, the centrino ,which
has a 10µs transition latency, would lead to the governor allowing to
read stats every tick (10ms)!
