big.LITTLE MP status Aug 28, 2012

by David Zinman

https://wiki.linaro.org/projects/big.LITTLE.MP Announcement: ============= It is regretful that Paul Larson will be returning to Canonical after this week. I want to personally thank Paul for the huge effort and creativity that he has given to the big.LITTLE projects. Each project would have been poorer without his input. Naresh will continue to be a great asset to the team on QA and Alexander Sack will be filling in for Paul as the search continues for a QA team lead. Roadmap Cards ============= http://cards.linaro.org/browse/CARD-34 and http://cards.linaro.org/browse/CARD-35 are being closed out and planning has just begun for the next series of Linaro roadmap cards for big.LITTLE MP. Stay tuned for links. Blueprints ========= https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-power-kernel/+spec/perf-record-repl… - Done as of 3.6-rc1 but not integrated into Linaro LEBs yet. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-power-kernel/+spec/big.little.mp-ho… - In progress, target for 12.09 cycle https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-power-kernel/+spec/cpuidle-add-cpu-… - In progress, target for 12.09 cycle https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-power-kernel/+spec/cpuidle-upstream… Work to be completed this cycle, unfinished items may be included in a new blueprint. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-qa/+spec/sched-test-porting-to-andr… - in progress Miscellaneous items ================= Main changes for V7 of MP pull - Based on v3.6-rc3 - per-task-load-average updated with v3 - applied Tixy's patch from fast-slow-cpu-dt-v1 to task-placement-v1 as they are somewhat related only. And so removed fast-slow-cpu-dt-v1 branch We've received some feedback from out big.LITTLE TC2 build: · The image boots fine. · Successfully ran: Sunspider, V8, 0xbench 2D and 3D tests · Problems: Random crashes during BBench and web-browsing. a) Downloaded the pre-built image from link given by Linaro (OK) b) Copying the image on the SD card (OK) c) Copying SD card contents to NOR flash (Issues, finally OK) - copy boot/v2p-ca15-tc2.dtb /media/VEMSD/SOFTWARE/TC2/tc2_dtb.bin should be corrected by Linaro as cp /media/boot/v2p-ca15-tc2.dtb /media/VEMSD/SOFTWARE/TC2/tc2_dtb.bin - People familiar with it may not have a problem, but novices like me to the setup follows the instruction by letter! - I made a silly mistake also at this stage where i misspelled the extension, and later when i tried to boot the board in the POST step it failed unable to locate the device tree description file. - Before ejecting the cards issued a ‘sync’ command (following advice from others). d) Boot the board (Issues, finally OK) - Discovered a further mistake made in the images.txt edit and bootscr.txt which caused the flashing and booting up of image to fail respectively. - Corrected both these typo issues and now i have got android booted up. Summary: With the pre-built image option and instructions provided user was able to flash the device successfully and see the android boot up screen. Only small issue is the above copy instruction mentioned in step c) in Linaro web page slightly incomplete, otherwise their instructions were good. The project plan is at https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/document/d/1XI9FaEd6dYfCEDezboF7gWtrTO… -- David Zinman Linaro Release Manager | Project Manager Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs

Like CPUfreq, (scaling_cur_freq vs cpuinfo_cur_freq) device driver developers are often very interested in such values. At least for me, such information has been very helpful for production kernels.

In our internal development branch, it increases frequencies differently according to the current usage (# GPU cores used and % each core activated). If it's almost 100% and the queue is filling up, it goes to max. If it's (for example) 98%, it goes to the next faster step. Besides, GPU developers want to differ the poling intervals according to the current frequency. Another case is with bus + memory-interface case. We are going to use a custom governor for them as each bus and memory-interface has its own DVFS capability while we want them to coordinate. The two drivers may be hooked by the custom governor. We don't have a specific detail with this as it is developed by another division. However, what I know is that they are going to use their own custon governor with ondemand-like behavior in principle. Because devfreq is meant to be used by various types of devices, we cannot assume that the default governor is "mostly" fine. Device driver writers can embed governors in their own devfreq driver code ("custom governor"). > > > > > > > > > - devfreq core interacts with governors via events to perform > > > specific actions.

As mentioned above, please do not assume that the default governors (drivers/devfreq/governor_*.c) will be only governors available and ondemand will be the only "active" governor for the future. I think it'd be better for the driver writes to reuse code than to copy and paste the code. Some governors may use some other polling/sampling mechanisms; however, still, providing delayed work at the core does not mean that governors must use the default delayed work struct. They may simply not use it as userspace, performance, and powersave do. > > > > > In this patchset, the size of ondemand governor has been enlarged > > too much for that purpose. I said this because I do not want governors to act as if they are core and I do not want to make writing governors too difficult for device driver writers.

Mainly for two reasons, > > 1. Devfreq core provides sysfs interface for usespace to set min/max > operating frequency for a device. These values must be within device > supported min/max frequency limits. No. they do not need to be within device supported limits. When I say "CPU should be running at least 50MHz" when the CPU supports 1000MHz ~ 3000MHz, there is no problem. Running at 1000MHz does not contradict with the condition. When I say "CPU should be running at least 4000MHz" for the same CPU, It is fine to set the CPU at max available. > 2. Governors should know device supported min/max opps and use > them where ever needed. Never assume UINT_MAX as max frequency. The core and governors do not need to know such information. They only need to provide "recommended" frequency. The corresponding driver is going to interpret it properly. Whenever we can, it's better to remove device specific information from governors and cores as long as it does not significantly increase the complexity of drivers. UINT_MAX means "I recommend to run as fast as possible." Then, the driver only needs to provide the fastest frequency. The core and governor does not need to say the specific frequency. Cheers!

Can't view the lava information from android-build for some builds

by YongQin Liu

Hi, Just found that I can't view the lava result on android-build page for some build. but not all of them, I still can view some the information of some builds before. say the builds of https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/snowball-jb-gcc47-i…. For the build #28 even I click the " login to LAVA " link and logged in, I still get this information like the NG.png attachment file. But for the build #26, I can see the lava information listed. Like the attached OK.png file -- Thanks, Yongqin Liu --------------------------------------------------------------- #mailing list linaro-android(a)lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-android linaro-validation(a)lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-validation

big.LITTLE MP status Aug 20, 2012

by David Zinman

https://wiki.linaro.org/projects/big.LITTLE.MP Roadmap Cards ============= http://cards.linaro.org/browse/CARD-34 Closeout * A script has been created that emulates a big.LITTLE system on an x86 system by tuning down 2 processors in a cluster to emulate the A7 processors. * Simulation tools and corresponding descriptions are located at: http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/rob_lee/asymm_cpu_emu.git. * The perf record and playback feature allows a workload to be defined, recorded and then played back later.
