2007-10-18[PATCH] ipw2100: send WEXT scan eventsDan Williams
ipw2100 wasn't sending WEXT scan events at all on scan completion. And like ipw2200, the driver aggressively auto-scans, requiring non-user-requested scan events to be batched together and sent at specific intervals instead of many times per seconds.

The following is a list of changes: 1.) the state name is now included in the sysfs interface 2.) detection, hotplug, and available state modifications are handled by CPUIDLE drivers directly 3.) the CPUIDLE idle handler is only ever installed when at least one cpuidle_device is enabled and ready 4.) the menu governor BM code no longer overflows 5.) the sysfs attributes are now printed as unsigned integers, avoiding negative values 6.) a variety of other small cleanups Also, Idle drivers are no longer swappable during runtime through the CPUIDLE sysfs inteface. On i386 and x86_64 most idle handlers (e.g. poll, mwait, halt, etc.) don't benefit from an infrastructure that supports multiple states, so I think using a more general case idle handler selection mechanism would be cleaner.

I call it the 'menu' governor because it considers the full list of idle states before each entry. I've kept the implementation fairly simple. It attempts to guess the next residency time and then chooses a state that would meet at least the break-even point between power savings and entry cost. To this end, it selects the deepest idle state that satisfies the following constraints: 1. If the idle time elapsed since bus master activity was detected is below a threshold (currently 20 ms), then limit the selection to C2-type or above. 2. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds the expected time remaining until the next timer interrupt. 3. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds the elapsed time between the last pair of break events, excluding timer interrupts. This governor has an advantage over "ladder" governor because it proactively checks how much time remains until the next timer interrupt using the tick infrastructure. Also, it handles device interrupt activity more intelligently by not including timer interrupts in break event calculations. Finally, it doesn't make policy decisions using the number of state entries, which can have variable residency times (NO_HZ makes these potentially very large), and instead only considers sleep time deltas. The menu governor can be selected during runtime using the cpuidle sysfs interface like so: "echo "menu" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_governor" Signed-off-by: Adam Belay <abelay@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> commit a4bec7e65aa3b7488b879d971651cc99a6c410fe Author: Adam Belay <abelay@novell.com> Date: Sat Mar 24 03:47:03 2007 -0400 cpuidle: export time until next timer interrupt using NO_HZ Expose information about the time remaining until the next timer interrupt expires by utilizing the dynticks infrastructure. Also modify the main idle loop to allow dynticks to handle non-interrupt break events (e.g. DMA). Finally, expose sleep ticks information to external code.

A cpuidle driver can support multiple idle states based on parameters like varying power consumption, wakeup latency, etc (ACPI C-states for example). A cpuidle governor can be usage model specific (laptop, server, laptop on battery etc). Main advantage of the infrastructure being, it allows independent development of drivers and governors and allows for better CPU power management. A huge thanks to Adam Belay and Shaohua Li who were part of this mini-project since its beginning and are greatly responsible for this patchset. This patch: Core cpuidle infrastructure. Introduces a new abstraction layer for cpuidle: * which manages drivers that can support multiple idles states. Drivers can be generic or particular to specific hardware/platform * allows pluging in multiple policy governors that can take idle state policy decision * The core also has a set of sysfs interfaces with which administrato can know about supported drivers and governors and switch them at run time.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

2006-10-01[PATCH] maximum latency tracking infrastructureArjan van de Ven
Add infrastructure to track "maximum allowable latency" for power saving policies. The reason for adding this infrastructure is that power management in the idle loop needs to make a tradeoff between latency and power savings (deeper power save modes have a longer latency to running code again). The code that today makes this tradeoff just does a rather simple algorithm; however this is not good enough: There are devices and use cases where a lower latency is required than that the higher power saving states provide. An example would be audio playback, but another example is the ipw2100 wireless driver that right now has a very direct and ugly acpi hook to disable some higher power states randomly when it gets certain types of error. The proposed solution is to have an interface where drivers can * announce the maximum latency (in microseconds) that they can deal with * modify this latency * give up their constraint and a function where the code that decides on power saving strategy can query the current global desired maximum. This patch has a user of each side: on the consumer side, ACPI is patched to use this, on the producer side the ipw2100 driver is patched. A generic maximum latency is also registered of 2 timer ticks (more and you lose accurate time tracking after all). While the existing users of the patch are x86 specific, the infrastructure is not. I'd like to ask the arch maintainers of other architectures if the infrastructure is generic enough for their use (assuming the architecture has such a tradeoff as concept at all), and the sound/multimedia driver owners to look at the driver facing API to see if this is something they can use.
