[v9 PATCH 0/9]: cpuidle: Cleanup cpuidle/ Introduce cpuidle to POWER.

[v9 PATCH 0/9]: cpuidle: Cleanup cpuidle/ Introduce cpuidle to POWER.

[Arun R Bharadwaj]

Hi,

This patchset introduces cpuidle infrastructure to POWER, prototyping
for pSeries, and also does a major refactoring of current x86 idle
power management and a cleanup of cpuidle infrastructure.

This patch series has been in discussion for quite a while now and
below are the links to the previous discussions.

Hopefully, this is ready to be included in the -tip tree.

Changes in this version:
----------------------------------------
        *Added documentation for the new design regarding registration
        of idle routines in Documentation/cpuidle/core.txt

        *Platforms which do not want the code bloat of cpuidle can
        disable CONFIG_CPU_IDLE. Alternate definition of
        cpuidle_idle_call is provided which would call the appropriate
        idle routine provided by the arch without the overhead of
        registration and governors.
        (Thanks to Andi for raising this isuue)

        *I had missed a cpuidle_kick_cpus() in
        cpuidle_pause_and_lock() which is called from the hotplug
        path. So added that and tested this patchset by subjecting it
        to cpuhotplug torture.
        (Thanks to Balbir for noticing this)

+Design:
+
+Cpuidle allows for registration of multiple sets of idle routines.
+The latest registered set is used by cpuidle governors as the current
+active set to choose the right idle state. This set is managed as a
+list and each time the newly registered set is added to the head of the
+list and made the current active set.
+
+An example of how this would work on x86 is shown below.

+| choose b/w	|	mwait is chosen			|    mwait	|
+| mwait, poll,	|-------------------------------------> |(current active|

+
+With this mechanism, a module can register and unregister its set of
+idle routines at run time in a clean manner.
+
+The main idle routine called inside cpu_idle() of every arch is defined in
+driver/cpuidle/cpuidle.c which would in turn call the idle routine selected
+by the governor. If the CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is disabled, the arch needs to
+provide an alternate definition for cpuidle_idle_call().

[v9 PATCH 2/9]: cpuidle: cleanup drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle.c

[Arun R Bharadwaj]

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-10-16 15:08:50]:

This patch cleans up drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle.c
Earlier cpuidle assumed pm_idle as the default idle loop. Break that
assumption and make it more generic. cpuidle_idle_call() which is the
main idle loop of cpuidle is to be called by architectures which have
registered to cpuidle.

Remove routines cpuidle_install/uninstall_idle_handler() and
cpuidle_kick_cpus() which are not needed anymore.

[v9 PATCH 3/9]: cpuidle: implement a list based approach to register a set of idle routines.

[Arun R Bharadwaj]

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-10-16 15:08:50]:

Implement a list based registering mechanism for architectures which
have multiple sets of idle routines which are to be registered.

Currently, in x86 it is done by merely setting pm_idle = idle_routine
and managing this pm_idle pointer is messy.

To give an example of how this mechanism works:
In x86, initially, idle routine is selected from the set of poll/mwait/
c1e/default idle loops. So the selected idle loop is registered in cpuidle
as one idle state cpuidle devices. Once ACPI comes up, it registers
another set of idle states on top of this state. Again, suppose a module
registers another set of idle loops, it is added to this list.

This provides a clean way of registering and unregistering idle state
routines.

In the current implementation, pm_idle is set as the current idle routine
being used and the old idle routine has to be maintained and when a module
registers/unregisters an idle routine, confusion arises.

[v9 PATCH 4/9]: x86: refactor x86 idle power management code and remove all instances of pm_idle.

[Arun R Bharadwaj]

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-10-16 15:08:50]:

This patch cleans up x86 of all instances of pm_idle.

pm_idle which was earlier called from cpu_idle() idle loop
is replaced by cpuidle_idle_call.

x86 also registers to cpuidle when the idle routine is selected,
by populating the cpuidle_device data structure for each cpu.

This is replicated for apm module and for xen, which also used pm_idle.

[v9 PATCH 5/9]: POWER: enable cpuidle for POWER.

[Arun R Bharadwaj]

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-10-16 15:08:50]:

This patch enables the cpuidle option in Kconfig for pSeries.

Currently cpuidle infrastructure is enabled only for x86 and ARM.
This code is almost completely borrowed from x86 to enable
cpuidle for pSeries.

[v9 PATCH 6/9]: pSeries/cpuidle: refactor pseries idle loops

[Arun R Bharadwaj]

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-10-16 15:08:50]:

This patch removes the routines, pseries_shared_idle_sleep and
pseries_dedicated_idle_sleep, since this is implemented as a part
of arch/powerpc/platform/pseries/processor_idle.c

Also, similar to x86, call cpuidle_idle_call from cpu_idle() idle
loop instead of ppc_md.power_save.

[v9 PATCH 7/9]: POWER: add a default_idle idle loop for POWER.

[Arun R Bharadwaj]

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-10-16 15:08:50]:

In arch/powerpc/kernel/idle.c create a default_idle() routine by moving
the failover condition of the cpu_idle() idle loop. This is needed by
cpuidle infrastructure to call default_idle when other idle routines
are not yet registered. Functionality remains the same, but the code is
slightly moved around.

[v9 PATCH 8/9]: pSeries: implement pSeries processor idle module.

[Arun R Bharadwaj]

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-10-16 15:08:50]:

This patch creates arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/processor_idle.c,
which implements the cpuidle infrastructure for pseries.
It implements a pseries_cpuidle_loop() which would be the main idle loop
called from cpu_idle(). It makes decision of entering either
dedicated_snooze_loop or dedicated_cede_loop for dedicated lpar and
shared_cede_loop for shared lpar processor based on the
decision taken by the cpuidle governor.

[v9 PATCH 9/9]: POWER: Enable default_idle when power_save=off.

[Arun R Bharadwaj]

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-10-16 15:08:50]:

This patch enables default_idle when power_save=off kernel boot
option is specified.

Earlier, this was done by setting ppc_md.power_save = NULL and hence
HMT_low() and HMT_very_low() was called. Now this is defined under
default_idle() and hence by setting boot_option_idle_override = 1,
the cpuidle registration stuff does not happen and hence default_idle
is chosen in cpuidle_idle_call.

So we get this routine essentially 3 times. Is there no way to share
the code?

We can move this code to a common place, but that would mean exporting
the idle function pointer to be called from within this routine, which
is exactly what we wanted to avoid.

Any suggestions are welcome.

You can just pass idle routine as a parameter...?
