[PATCH] drm/i915: Scale ring, rather than ia, frequency on Haswell

[Chris Wilson]

Haswell introduces a separate frequency domain for the ring (uncore). So
where we used to increase the CPU (IA) clock with GPU busyness, we now
need to scale the ring frequency directly instead. As the ring limits
our memory bandwidth, it is vital for performance that when the GPU is
busy, we increase the frequency of the ring to increase the available
memory bandwidth.

I think this is another reason to split hsw rps code from snb/ivb. I think
I'll wait until Rodrigo's patch is in, and then apply this.

Call me a scared chicken, but I kinda am wrt rps stuff ;-)

Should this be min(max_ring_freq, ring_freq)?  Otherwise it seems like
every ia_freq will correspond to the highest ring freq.

Also, where are you setting ia_freq in the HSW case?  Looks like it'll
be 0?  I guess that means we just need the gpu and ring freq
correlation on HSW, but that reinforces Daniel's point that a separate
function would probably be clearer.  Or you could update the changelog
with "scale the ring frequency directly with the GPU frequency" or
something.

s/max_ring_freq/min_ring_freq/, bad name in retrospect.

The algorithm is drawn from the pm guide so that the ring is always
running at least as fast as memory whilst the gpu is active, and then
scales up cache bandwidth as the gpu gets busier and faster. By that
formula, only the first few GPU freqs run the ring at the recommended
minimum frequency.

> Also, where are you setting ia_freq in the HSW case?  Looks like it'll

Right. Again the guide says to not abitrarily raise the CPU frequencies,
which makes sense as cpufreq will raise those itself based on demand.

If you look at the changelog, it uses those very terms. :-p
