[RFC PATCH v3 0/2] add SW BOOST support for CPPC

[RFC PATCH v3 0/2] add SW BOOST support for CPPC

[Xiongfeng Wang]

ACPI spec 6.2 section 8.4.7.1 provide the following two CPC registers.

"Highest performance is the absolute maximum performance an individual
processor may reach, assuming ideal conditions. This performance level
may not be sustainable for long durations, and may only be achievable if
other platform components are in a specific state; for example, it may
require other processors be in an idle state.

Nominal Performance is the maximum sustained performance level of the
processor, assuming ideal operating conditions. In absence of an
external constraint (power, thermal, etc.) this is the performance level
the platform is expected to be able to maintain continuously. All
processors are expected to be able to sustain their nominal performance
state simultaneously."

We can use Highest Performance as the max performance in boost mode and
Nomial Performance as the max performance in non-boost mode. If the
Highest Performance is greater than the Nominal Performance, we assume
SW BOOST is supported.

[RFC PATCH v3 1/2] cpufreq: change '.set_boost' to act on only one policy

[Xiongfeng Wang]

Macro 'for_each_active_policy()' is defined internally. To avoid some
cpufreq driver needing this macro to iterate over all the policies in
'.set_boost' callback, we redefine '.set_boost' to act on only one
policy and pass the policy as an argument.
'cpufreq_boost_trigger_state()' iterate over all the policies to set
boost for the system. This is preparation for adding SW BOOST support
for CPPC.

[RFC PATCH v3 2/2] CPPC: add support for SW BOOST

[Xiongfeng Wang]

To add SW BOOST support for CPPC, we need to get the max frequency of
boost mode and non-boost mode. ACPI spec 6.2 section 8.4.7.1 describe
the following two CPC registers.

"Highest performance is the absolute maximum performance an individual
processor may reach, assuming ideal conditions. This performance level
may not be sustainable for long durations, and may only be achievable if
other platform components are in a specific state; for example, it may
require other processors be in an idle state.

Nominal Performance is the maximum sustained performance level of the
processor, assuming ideal operating conditions. In absence of an
external constraint (power, thermal, etc.) this is the performance level
the platform is expected to be able to maintain continuously. All
processors are expected to be able to sustain their nominal performance
state simultaneously."

To add SW BOOST support for CPPC, we can use Highest Performance as the
max performance in boost mode and Nominal Performance as the max
performance in non-boost mode. If the Highest Performance is greater
than the Nominal Performance, we assume SW BOOST is supported.

The current CPPC driver does not support SW BOOST and use 'Highest
Performance' as the max performance the CPU can achieve. 'Nominal
Performance' is used to convert 'performance' to 'frequency'. That
means, if firmware enable boost and provide a value for Highest
Performance which is greater than Nominal Performance, boost feature is
enabled by default.

Because SW BOOST is disabled by default, so, after this patch, boost
feature is disabled by default even if boost is enabled by firmware.

My original thought is as below. Since '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost'
can be used to set boost for the system. The file 'cpb' below each policy can be
used to set boost for the policy. But this will change the existing logic.

Is it better to set 'boost_enabled' after set boost successfully rather than
setting it in the begining and resetting it if setting boost failed.

I think (Rafael can confirm), that you need to update this as well. You don't
need to run for each cpu now, but for each CPU in the policy.

Right, the caller will iterate over policies.

Accordingly, the CPU hotplug locking needs to go to the caller too.

Hmm, why is that required ? Can't we call boost_set_msr_each() for all
CPUs of a policy under the locks ? And then let the next call take the
lock again ? I thought we don't want a CPU to disappear while we are
trying to run boost_set_msr_each() for it (or miss one that just got
added) and that should work with the locks being there in this routine.

I will change it in the next version.

Thanks for your advice. I will add your 'Suggested-by' for these two patches.
