Power models +=============== + +The power API registration functions provide a simple power model for +CPUs. The current power is calculated as dynamic power (static power isn't +supported currently). This power model requires that the operating-points of +the CPUs are registered using the kernel's opp library and the +`cpufreq_frequency_table` is assigned to the `struct device` of the +cpu. If you are using CONFIG_CPUFREQ_DT then the +`cpufreq_frequency_table` should already be assigned to the cpu +device. + +The dynamic power consumption of a processor depends on many factors. +For a given processor implementation the primary factors are: + +- The time the processor spends running, consuming dynamic power, as + compared to the time in idle states where dynamic consumption is + negligible. Herein we refer to this as 'utilisation'. +- The voltage and frequency levels as a result of DVFS. The DVFS + level is a dominant factor governing power consumption. +- In running time the 'execution' behaviour (instruction types, memory + access patterns and so forth) causes, in most cases, a second order + variation. In pathological cases this variation can be significant, + but typically it is of a much lesser impact than the factors above. + +A high level dynamic power consumption model may then be represented as:: + + Pdyn = f(run) * Voltage^2 * Frequency * Utilisation + +f(run) here represents the described execution behaviour and its +result has a units of Watts/Hz/Volt^2 (this often expressed in +mW/MHz/uVolt^2) + +The detailed behaviour for f(run) could be modelled on-line. However, +in practice, such an on-line model has dependencies on a number of +implementation specific processor support and characterisation +factors. Therefore, in initial implementation that contribution is +represented as a constant coefficient. This is a simplification +consistent with the relative contribution to overall power variation. + +In this simplified representation our model becomes:: + + Pdyn = Capacitance * Voltage^2 * Frequency * Utilisation + +Where `capacitance` is a constant that represents an indicative +running time dynamic power coefficient in fundamental units of +mW/MHz/uVolt^2. Typical values for mobile CPUs might lie in range +from 100 to 500.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +================ +CPU Idle Cooling +================ + +Situation: +---------- + +Under certain circumstances a SoC can reach a critical temperature +limit and is unable to stabilize the temperature around a temperature +control. When the SoC has to stabilize the temperature, the kernel can +act on a cooling device to mitigate the dissipated power. When the +critical temperature is reached, a decision must be taken to reduce +the temperature, that, in turn impacts performance. + +Another situation is when the silicon temperature continues to +increase even after the dynamic leakage is reduced to its minimum by +clock gating the component. This runaway phenomenon can continue due +to the static leakage. The only solution is to power down the +component, thus dropping the dynamic and static leakage that will +allow the component to cool down. + +Last but not least, the system can ask for a specific power budget but +because of the OPP density, we can only choose an OPP with a power +budget lower than the requested one and under-utilize the CPU, thus +losing performance. In other words, one OPP under-utilizes the CPU +with a power less than the requested power budget and the next OPP +exceeds the power budget. An intermediate OPP could have been used if +it were present. + +Solutions: +---------- + +If we can remove the static and the dynamic leakage for a specific +duration in a controlled period, the SoC temperature will +decrease. Acting on the idle state duration or the idle cycle +injection period, we can mitigate the temperature by modulating the +power budget. + +The Operating Performance Point (OPP) density has a great influence on +the control precision of cpufreq, however different vendors have a +plethora of OPP density, and some have large power gap between OPPs, +that will result in loss of performance during thermal control and +loss of power in other scenarios. + +At a specific OPP, we can assume that injecting idle cycle on all CPUs +belong to the same cluster, with a duration greater than the cluster +idle state target residency, we lead to dropping the static and the +dynamic leakage for this period (modulo the energy needed to enter +this state). So the sustainable power with idle cycles has a linear +relation with the OPP’s sustainable power and can be computed with a +coefficient similar to:: + + Power(IdleCycle) = Coef x Power(OPP) + +Idle Injection: +--------------- + +The base concept of the idle injection is to force the CPU to go to an +idle state for a specified time each control cycle, it provides +another way to control CPU power and heat in addition to +cpufreq. Ideally, if all CPUs belonging to the same cluster, inject +their idle cycles synchronously, the cluster can reach its power down +state with a minimum power consumption and reduce the static leakage +to almost zero. However, these idle cycles injection will add extra +latencies as the CPUs will have to wakeup from a deep sleep state. + +We use a fixed duration of idle injection that gives an acceptable +performance penalty and a fixed latency. Mitigation can be increased +or decreased by modulating the duty cycle of the idle injection. + +:: + + ^ + | + | + |------- ------- + |_______|_______________________|_______|___________ + + <------> + idle <----------------------> + running + + <-----------------------------> + duty cycle 25% + + +The implementation of the cooling device bases the number of states on +the duty cycle percentage. When no mitigation is happening the cooling +device state is zero, meaning the duty cycle is 0%. + +When the mitigation begins, depending on the governor's policy, a +starting state is selected. With a fixed idle duration and the duty +cycle (aka the cooling device state), the running duration can be +computed. + +The governor will change the cooling device state thus the duty cycle +and this variation will modulate the cooling effect. + +:: + + ^ + | + | + |------- ------- + |_______|_______________|_______|___________ + + <------> + idle <--------------> + running + + <---------------------> + duty cycle 33% + + + ^ + | + | + |------- ------- + |_______|_______|_______|___________ + + <------> + idle <------> + running + + <-------------> + duty cycle 50% + +The idle injection duration value must comply with the constraints: + +- It is less than or equal to the latency we tolerate when the + mitigation begins. It is platform dependent and will depend on the + user experience, reactivity vs performance trade off we want. This + value should be specified. + +- It is greater than the idle state’s target residency we want to go + for thermal mitigation, otherwise we end up consuming more energy. + +Power considerations +-------------------- + +When we reach the thermal trip point, we have to sustain a specified +power for a specific temperature but at this time we consume:: + + Power = Capacitance x Voltage^2 x Frequency x Utilisation + +... which is more than the sustainable power (or there is something +wrong in the system setup). The ‘Capacitance’ and ‘Utilisation’ are a +fixed value, ‘Voltage’ and the ‘Frequency’ are fixed artificially +because we don’t want to change the OPP. We can group the +‘Capacitance’ and the ‘Utilisation’ into a single term which is the +‘Dynamic Power Coefficient (Cdyn)’ Simplifying the above, we have:: + + Pdyn = Cdyn x Voltage^2 x Frequency + +The power allocator governor will ask us somehow to reduce our power +in order to target the sustainable power defined in the device +tree. So with the idle injection mechanism, we want an average power +(Ptarget) resulting in an amount of time running at full power on a +specific OPP and idle another amount of time. That could be put in a +equation:: + + P(opp)target = ((Trunning x (P(opp)running) + (Tidle x P(opp)idle)) / + (Trunning + Tidle) + + ... + + Tidle = Trunning x ((P(opp)running / P(opp)target) - 1) + +At this point if we know the running period for the CPU, that gives us +the idle injection we need. Alternatively if we have the idle +injection duration, we can compute the running duration with:: + + Trunning = Tidle / ((P(opp)running / P(opp)target) - 1) + +Practically, if the running power is less than the targeted power, we +end up with a negative time value, so obviously the equation usage is +bound to a power reduction, hence a higher OPP is needed to have the +running power greater than the targeted power. + +However, in this demonstration we ignore three aspects: + + * The static leakage is not defined here, we can introduce it in the + equation but assuming it will be zero most of the time as it is + difficult to get the values from the SoC vendors + + * The idle state wake up latency (or entry + exit latency) is not + taken into account, it must be added in the equation in order to + rigorously compute the idle injection + + * The injected idle duration must be greater than the idle state + target residency, otherwise we end up consuming more energy and + potentially invert the mitigation effect + +So the final equation is:: + + Trunning = (Tidle - Twakeup ) x + (((P(opp)dyn + P(opp)static ) - P(opp)target) / P(opp)target ) diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/thermal/exynos_thermal.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/thermal/exynos_thermal.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..764df4ab5 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/thermal/exynos_thermal.rst @@ -0,0 +1,90 @@ +======================== +Kernel driver exynos_tmu +======================== + +Supported chips: + +* ARM Samsung Exynos4, Exynos5 series of SoC + + Datasheet: Not publicly available + +Authors: Donggeun Kim <dg77.kim@samsung.com> +Authors: Amit Daniel <amit.daniel@samsung.com> + +TMU controller Description: +--------------------------- + +This driver allows to read temperature inside Samsung Exynos4/5 series of SoC. + +The chip only exposes the measured 8-bit temperature code value +through a register. +Temperature can be taken from the temperature code. +There are three equations converting from temperature to temperature code. + +The three equations are: + 1.

The goal +is to achieve forced and controllable C-state residency. + +Test/Analysis has been made in the areas of power, performance, +scalability, and user experience. In many cases, clear advantage is +shown over taking the CPU offline or modulating the CPU clock. + + +THEORY OF OPERATION +=================== + +Idle Injection +-------------- + +On modern Intel processors (Nehalem or later), package level C-state +residency is available in MSRs, thus also available to the kernel. + +These MSRs are:: + + #define MSR_PKG_C2_RESIDENCY 0x60D + #define MSR_PKG_C3_RESIDENCY 0x3F8 + #define MSR_PKG_C6_RESIDENCY 0x3F9 + #define MSR_PKG_C7_RESIDENCY 0x3FA + +If the kernel can also inject idle time to the system, then a +closed-loop control system can be established that manages package +level C-state. The intel_powerclamp driver is conceived as such a +control system, where the target set point is a user-selected idle +ratio (based on power reduction), and the error is the difference +between the actual package level C-state residency ratio and the target idle +ratio. + +Injection is controlled by high priority kernel threads, spawned for +each online CPU. + +These kernel threads, with SCHED_FIFO class, are created to perform +clamping actions of controlled duty ratio and duration. Each per-CPU +thread synchronizes its idle time and duration, based on the rounding +of jiffies, so accumulated errors can be prevented to avoid a jittery +effect. Threads are also bound to the CPU such that they cannot be +migrated, unless the CPU is taken offline. In this case, threads +belong to the offlined CPUs will be terminated immediately. + +Running as SCHED_FIFO and relatively high priority, also allows such +scheme to work for both preemptable and non-preemptable kernels. +Alignment of idle time around jiffies ensures scalability for HZ +values. This effect can be better visualized using a Perf timechart. +The following diagram shows the behavior of kernel thread +kidle_inject/cpu. During idle injection, it runs monitor/mwait idle +for a given "duration", then relinquishes the CPU to other tasks, +until the next time interval. + +The NOHZ schedule tick is disabled during idle time, but interrupts +are not masked. Tests show that the extra wakeups from scheduler tick +have a dramatic impact on the effectiveness of the powerclamp driver +on large scale systems (Westmere system with 80 processors). + +:: + + CPU0 + ____________ ____________ + kidle_inject/0 | sleep | mwait | sleep | + _________| |________| |_______ + duration + CPU1 + ____________ ____________ + kidle_inject/1 | sleep | mwait | sleep | + _________| |________| |_______ + ^ + | + | + roundup(jiffies, interval) + +Only one CPU is allowed to collect statistics and update global +control parameters. This CPU is referred to as the controlling CPU in +this document. The controlling CPU is elected at runtime, with a +policy that favors BSP, taking into account the possibility of a CPU +hot-plug. + +In terms of dynamics of the idle control system, package level idle +time is considered largely as a non-causal system where its behavior +cannot be based on the past or current input. Therefore, the +intel_powerclamp driver attempts to enforce the desired idle time +instantly as given input (target idle ratio). After injection, +powerclamp monitors the actual idle for a given time window and adjust +the next injection accordingly to avoid over/under correction. + +When used in a causal control system, such as a temperature control, +it is up to the user of this driver to implement algorithms where +past samples and outputs are included in the feedback. For example, a +PID-based thermal controller can use the powerclamp driver to +maintain a desired target temperature, based on integral and +derivative gains of the past samples. + + + +Calibration +----------- +During scalability testing, it is observed that synchronized actions +among CPUs become challenging as the number of cores grows. This is +also true for the ability of a system to enter package level C-states. + +To make sure the intel_powerclamp driver scales well, online +calibration is implemented. The goals for doing such a calibration +are: + +a) determine the effective range of idle injection ratio +b) determine the amount of compensation needed at each target ratio + +Compensation to each target ratio consists of two parts: + + a) steady state error compensation + This is to offset the error occurring when the system can + enter idle without extra wakeups (such as external interrupts). + + b) dynamic error compensation + When an excessive amount of wakeups occurs during idle, an + additional idle ratio can be added to quiet interrupts, by + slowing down CPU activities. + +A debugfs file is provided for the user to examine compensation +progress and results, such as on a Westmere system:: + + [jacob@nex01 ~]$ cat + /sys/kernel/debug/intel_powerclamp/powerclamp_calib + controlling cpu: 0 + pct confidence steady dynamic (compensation) + 0 0 0 0 + 1 1 0 0 + 2 1 1 0 + 3 3 1 0 + 4 3 1 0 + 5 3 1 0 + 6 3 1 0 + 7 3 1 0 + 8 3 1 0 + ... + 30 3 2 0 + 31 3 2 0 + 32 3 1 0 + 33 3 2 0 + 34 3 1 0 + 35 3 2 0 + 36 3 1 0 + 37 3 2 0 + 38 3 1 0 + 39 3 2 0 + 40 3 3 0 + 41 3 1 0 + 42 3 2 0 + 43 3 1 0 + 44 3 1 0 + 45 3 2 0 + 46 3 3 0 + 47 3 0 0 + 48 3 2 0 + 49 3 3 0 + +Calibration occurs during runtime. No offline method is available. +Steady state compensation is used only when confidence levels of all +adjacent ratios have reached satisfactory level. A confidence level +is accumulated based on clean data collected at runtime. Data +collected during a period without extra interrupts is considered +clean. + +To compensate for excessive amounts of wakeup during idle, additional +idle time is injected when such a condition is detected. Currently, +we have a simple algorithm to double the injection ratio. A possible +enhancement might be to throttle the offending IRQ, such as delaying +EOI for level triggered interrupts. But it is a challenge to be +non-intrusive to the scheduler or the IRQ core code. + + +CPU Online/Offline +------------------ +Per-CPU kernel threads are started/stopped upon receiving +notifications of CPU hotplug activities. The intel_powerclamp driver +keeps track of clamping kernel threads, even after they are migrated +to other CPUs, after a CPU offline event. + + +Performance Analysis +==================== +This section describes the general performance data collected on +multiple systems, including Westmere (80P) and Ivy Bridge (4P, 8P). + +Effectiveness and Limitations +----------------------------- +The maximum range that idle injection is allowed is capped at 50 +percent. As mentioned earlier, since interrupts are allowed during +forced idle time, excessive interrupts could result in less +effectiveness. The extreme case would be doing a ping -f to generated +flooded network interrupts without much CPU acknowledgement. In this +case, little can be done from the idle injection threads. In most +normal cases, such as scp a large file, applications can be throttled +by the powerclamp driver, since slowing down the CPU also slows down +network protocol processing, which in turn reduces interrupts. + +When control parameters change at runtime by the controlling CPU, it +may take an additional period for the rest of the CPUs to catch up +with the changes. During this time, idle injection is out of sync, +thus not able to enter package C- states at the expected ratio. But +this effect is minor, in that in most cases change to the target +ratio is updated much less frequently than the idle injection +frequency. + +Scalability +----------- +Tests also show a minor, but measurable, difference between the 4P/8P +Ivy Bridge system and the 80P Westmere server under 50% idle ratio. +More compensation is needed on Westmere for the same amount of +target idle ratio. The compensation also increases as the idle ratio +gets larger. The above reason constitutes the need for the +calibration code. + +On the IVB 8P system, compared to an offline CPU, powerclamp can +achieve up to 40% better performance per watt. (measured by a spin +counter summed over per CPU counting threads spawned for all running +CPUs). + +Usage and Interfaces +==================== +The powerclamp driver is registered to the generic thermal layer as a +cooling device. Currently, it’s not bound to any thermal zones:: + + jacob@chromoly:/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device14$ grep . * + cur_state:0 + max_state:50 + type:intel_powerclamp + +cur_state allows user to set the desired idle percentage.

This may not be the same value +set by the user in that current idle percentage depends on workload +and includes natural idle. When idle injection is disabled, reading +cur_state returns value -1 instead of 0 which is to avoid confusing +100% busy state with the disabled state. + +Example usage: +- To inject 25% idle time:: + + $ sudo sh -c "echo 25 > /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device80/cur_state + +If the system is not busy and has more than 25% idle time already, +then the powerclamp driver will not start idle injection.

The actual sustained power can vary +for a number of reasons. The closed loop controller will take care of +variations such as environmental conditions, and some factors related +to the speed-grade of the silicon. `sustainable_power` is therefore +simply an estimate, and may be tuned to affect the aggressiveness of +the thermal ramp. For reference, the sustainable power of a 4" phone +is typically 2000mW, while on a 10" tablet is around 4500mW (may vary +depending on screen size).

Conversely, `k_pu` is the +proportional term constant during temperature undershoot periods +(current temperature below "desired temperature" trip point). + +These controls are intended as the primary mechanism for configuring +the permitted thermal "ramp" of the system. For instance, a lower +`k_pu` value will provide a slower ramp, at the cost of capping +available capacity at a low temperature. On the other hand, a high +value of `k_pu` will result in the governor granting very high power +while temperature is low, and may lead to temperature overshooting. + +The default value for `k_pu` is:: + + 2 * sustainable_power / (desired_temperature - switch_on_temp) + +This means that at `switch_on_temp` the output of the controller's +proportional term will be 2 * `sustainable_power`. The default value +for `k_po` is:: + + sustainable_power / (desired_temperature - switch_on_temp) + +Focusing on the proportional and feed forward values of the PID +controller equation we have:: + + P_max = k_p * e + sustainable_power + +The proportional term is proportional to the difference between the +desired temperature and the current one. When the current temperature +is the desired one, then the proportional component is zero and +`P_max` = `sustainable_power`. That is, the system should operate in +thermal equilibrium under constant load. `sustainable_power` is only +an estimate, which is the reason for closed-loop control such as this. + +Expanding `k_pu` we get:: + + P_max = 2 * sustainable_power * (T_set - T) / (T_set - T_on) + + sustainable_power + +where: + + - T_set is the desired temperature + - T is the current temperature + - T_on is the switch on temperature + +When the current temperature is the switch_on temperature, the above +formula becomes:: + + P_max = 2 * sustainable_power * (T_set - T_on) / (T_set - T_on) + + sustainable_power = 2 * sustainable_power + sustainable_power = + 3 * sustainable_power + +Therefore, the proportional term alone linearly decreases power from +3 * `sustainable_power` to `sustainable_power` as the temperature +rises from the switch on temperature to the desired temperature. + +k_i and integral_cutoff +----------------------- + +`k_i` configures the PID loop's integral term constant.

When the temperature +error is below `integral_cutoff`, errors are accumulated in the +integral term. This term is then multiplied by `k_i` and the result +added to the output of the controller.

They express the relative power efficiency of different +cooling devices. Higher weight can be used to express higher power +efficiency. Weighting is relative such that if each cooling device +has a weight of one they are considered equal. This is particularly +useful in heterogeneous systems where two cooling devices may perform +the same kind of compute, but with different efficiency. For example, +a system with two different types of processors. + +If the thermal zone is registered using +`thermal_zone_device_register()` (i.e., platform code), then weights +are passed as part of the thermal zone's `thermal_bind_parameters`. +If the platform is registered using device tree, then they are passed +as the `contribution` property of each map in the `cooling-maps` node. + +Limitations of the power allocator governor +=========================================== + +The power allocator governor's PID controller works best if there is a +periodic tick.

A + weight of 0 means that this cooling device doesn't + contribute to the cooling of this zone unless all cooling + devices have a weight of 0.

Export Symbol APIs +===================== + +4.1. get_tz_trend +----------------- + +This function returns the trend of a thermal zone, i.e the rate of change +of temperature of the thermal zone. Ideally, the thermal sensor drivers +are supposed to implement the callback. If they don't, the thermal +framework calculated the trend by comparing the previous and the current +temperature values. + +4.2. get_thermal_instance +------------------------- + +This function returns the thermal_instance corresponding to a given +{thermal_zone, cooling_device, trip_point} combination. Returns NULL +if such an instance does not exist. + +4.3. thermal_cdev_update +------------------------ + +This function serves as an arbitrator to set the state of a cooling +device. It sets the cooling device to the deepest cooling state if +possible. + +5. thermal_emergency_poweroff +============================= + +On an event of critical trip temperature crossing the thermal framework +shuts down the system by calling hw_protection_shutdown(). The +hw_protection_shutdown() first attempts to perform an orderly shutdown +but accepts a delay after which it proceeds doing a forced power-off +or as last resort an emergency_restart. + +The delay should be carefully profiled so as to give adequate time for +orderly poweroff. + +If the delay is set to 0 emergency poweroff will not be supported. So a +carefully profiled non-zero positive value is a must for emergency +poweroff to be triggered. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/thermal/x86_pkg_temperature_thermal.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/thermal/x86_pkg_temperature_thermal.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..2ac42ccd2 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/thermal/x86_pkg_temperature_thermal.rst @@ -0,0 +1,55 @@ +=================================== +Kernel driver: x86_pkg_temp_thermal +=================================== + +Supported chips: + +* x86: with package level thermal management + +(Verify using: CPUID.06H:EAX[bit 6] =1) + +Authors: Srinivas Pandruvada <srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com> + +Reference +--------- + +Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual (Jan, 2013): +Chapter 14.6: PACKAGE LEVEL THERMAL MANAGEMENT + +Description +----------- + +This driver register CPU digital temperature package level sensor as a thermal +zone with maximum two user mode configurable trip points.
