[Patch 0/6] CPPC_CPUFREQ improvements for Tegra241

[Sumit Gupta]

This patch series contains improvements and changes needed to get a
stable value of current CPU frequency from "cpuinfo_cur_freq" sysfs
node in Tegra241 SoC. All the CPU's in Tegra241 implement the ARM
Activity Monitor Unit (AMU). On reading the sysfs node, the frequency
value is re-constructed using AMU counters.

[Patch 1/6] cpufreq: use correct unit when verify cur freq

[Sumit Gupta]

From: Sanjay Chandrashekara <sanjayc@nvidia.com>

cpufreq_verify_current_freq checks if the frequency returned by
the hardware has a slight delta with the valid frequency value
last set and returns "policy->cur" if the delta is within "1 MHz".
In the comparison, "policy->cur" is in "kHz" but it's compared
against HZ_PER_MHZ. So, the comparison range becomes "1 GHz".
Fix this by comparing against KHZ_PER_MHZ instead of HZ_PER_MHZ.

Fixes: f55ae08c8987 ("cpufreq: Avoid unnecessary frequency updates due to mismatch")

[Patch 3/6] irqchip/gicv3: Export arm_smccc_get_soc_id_xx funcs

[Sumit Gupta]

Export arm_smccc_get_soc_id_version() function which is needed
in CPPC_CPUFREQ to check and apply workaround for Tegra241 SoC.
Also, exporting arm_smccc_get_soc_id_revision() function as it
might be needed in future.

[Patch 4/6] cpufreq: CPPC: update sampling window for Tegra241

[Sumit Gupta]

In Tegra241, the Activity Monitor Unit's (AMU) constant counter
(i.e. reference clock counter) increment happens in bursts and
not incremented in the steps of one. For example reference counter
may increment by '0x20' every '32' periods of ARM periphclk. This
quantization of the reference counter is a source of error when
reconstructing the frequency from the AMU counter data. To fix,
increase the observation time interval so the error percentage
becomes less.

[Patch 5/6] arm64: cpufeature: Export get_cpu_with_amu_feat func

[Sumit Gupta]

Export the get_cpu_with_amu_feat() function for use by
"cppc_cpufreq" to check if any CPU implements ARM's
Activity Monitor Unit (AMU). If AMU is available, then
for re-constructing the current CPU freq from its
counters, queue work on target CPU to read the counters
in a single call instead of reading them in separate
smp calls.

Activity Monitor Unit (AMU). If AMU is available, then
for re-constructing the current CPU freq from its
counters, queue work on target CPU to read the counters
in a single call instead of reading them in separate
smp calls.

[Patch 6/6] cpufreq: CPPC: use wq to read amu counters on target cpu

[Sumit Gupta]

ARM cores which implement the Activity Monitor Unit (AMU)
use Functional Fixed Hardware (FFH) to map AMU counters to
Delivered_Counter and Reference_Counter registers. Each
sysreg is read separately with a smp_call_function_single
call. So, total four IPI's are used, one per register.
Due to this, the AMU's core counter and constant counter
sampling can happen at a non-consistent time interval if
an IPI is handled late. This results in unstable frequency
value from "cpuinfo_cur_req" node sometimes. To fix, queue
work on target CPU to read all counters synchronously in
sequence. This helps to remove the inter-IPI latency and
make sure that both the counters are sampled at a close
time interval.
Without this change we observed that the re-generated value
of CPU Frequency from AMU counters sometimes deviates by
~25% as the counters are read at non-determenistic time.
Currently, kept the change specific to Tegra241. It can be
applied to other SoC's having AMU if same issue is observed.

So this is a fix that can be applied separately from the rest of the

To be honest I never liked the need for IPIs but it was the most
generic solution I could find for an FFH implementation that does not
assume a dependency between different reads, which is usecase specific.

Also, for any kind of caching of the counters I'd have to introduce some
logic that would assume we'd always have two consecutive reads - one for
the cycle counter and one for the constant counter, and there should be no
update between them. And then there's the problem of potentially returning
the same values if there's no update between two sets of reads.

The only feasible idea based on caching would be to piggy back on the
frequency invariance engine (FIE) which computes a performance scale
factor on the tick which can be translated to frequency. But the
frequency obtained would be an average frequency for the past 4ms, which
can in turn be at up to 4ms old (or more, if the CPU was idle).

Would something like this work for you?

This could also help with a similar issue described at [1] - not an IPI
related issue, but an issue with similar symptoms.

I think yes that will help as it will increase the time period and also
remove the IPI's ?

One thing I am not sure is whether there can be any impact when CPU is
IDLE w.r.t. the delta between the frequency set and get from the counters.

I think yes that will help as it will increase the time period and also
remove the IPI's ?

One thing I am not sure is whether there can be any impact when CPU is
IDLE w.r.t. the delta between the frequency set and get from the counters.

Thank you,

The commit subject seems off, maybe you re-used the last one that was 
done in the tree (35727af2b15d irqchip/gicv3: Workaround for NVIDIA 
erratum T241-FABRIC-4), it should rather be: "firmware: smccc: Export 
arm_smccc_get_soc_id_xx funcs"
