[PATCH v9 0/5] CPUFreq driver using CPPC methods

by Ashwin Chaugule

CPPC: ==== CPPC (Collaborative Processor Performance Control) is a new way to control CPU performance using an abstract continous scale as against a discretized P-state scale which is tied to CPU frequency only. It is defined in the ACPI 5.0+ spec. In brief, the basic operation involves: - OS makes a CPU performance request. (Can provide min and max tolerable bounds) - Platform (such as BMC) is free to optimize request within requested bounds depending on power/thermal budgets etc. - Platform conveys its decision back to OS The communication between OS and platform occurs through another medium called (PCC) Platform communication Channel. This is a generic mailbox like mechanism which includes doorbell semantics to indicate register updates. See drivers/mailbox/pcc.c This patchset introduces a CPPC based CPUFreq driver that works with existing governors such as ondemand. The CPPC table parsing and the CPPC communication semantics are abstracted into separate files to allow future CPPC based drivers to implement their own governors if required. Initial patchsets included an adaptation of the PID governor from intel_pstate.c. However recent experiments led to extensive modifications of the algorithm to calculate CPU busyness. Until it is verified that these changes are worthwhile, the existing governors should provide for a good enough starting point for ARM64 servers. Finer details about the PCC and CPPC spec are available in the latest ACPI 5.1 specification.[2] Testing: ======= This was tested on an SBSA compatible ARMv8 server with CPPCv2 firmware running on a remote processor. I verified that each CPUs performance limits were detected and that new performance requests were made by the on-demand governor proportional to the load on each CPU. I also verified that using the acpi_processor driver correctly maps the physical CPU ids to logical CPU ids, which helps in picking up the proper _CPC details from a processor object, in the case where CPU physical ids may not be contiguous. Changes since V8: - Fixed up several debug prints, return types and comments. - Simplified read/write ops using existing ACPI core API. - Removed ->get() from cpufreq driver for now. - Fixed bug introduced by copy-paste err in set_perf. Changes since V7: - Simplied new kconfig options for PSS and idle. - Separated patch to enable acpi processor on ARM64. - Removed redundant kconfig cross deps on PCC. - Decoupled processor_perflib from new PSS kconfig option. Changes since V6: - Separated PSS and CST from ACPI processor driver in two patches. - Made new Kconfig symbols auto selectable from Arch Kconfigs. Changes since V5: - Checkpatch cleanups. - Change pss_init to pss_perf_init. Rec by Srinivas Pandruvada. - Explicit comment explaining why postcore_initcall to pcc mailbox. - Fold acpi_processor_syscore_init/exit into CONFIG_ACPI_CST. - Added patch with dummy functions used by ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU. Changes since V4: - Misc cleanups. Addressed feedback from Rafael. - Made acpi_processor.c independent of C-states, P-states and others. - Per CPU scanning for _CPC is now made from acpi_processor.c - Added new Kconfig options for legacy C states and P states to enable future support for newer alternatives as defined in the ACPI spec 6.0. Changes since V3: - Split CPPC backend methods into separate files. - Add frontend driver which plugs into existing CPUfreq governors. - Simplify PCC driver by moving communication space mapping and read/write into client drivers. Changes since V2: - Select driver if !X86, since intel_pstate will use HWP extensions instead. - Added more comments. - Added Freq domain awareness and PSD parsing. Changes since V1: - Create a new driver based on Dirks suggestion. - Fold in CPPC backend hooks into main driver. Changes since V0: [1] - Split intel_pstate.c into a generic PID governor and platform specific backend. - Add CPPC accessors as PID backend.

[PATCH v3 0/7] Early ACPI probing infrastructure

by Marc Zyngier

IRQ controllers and timers are the two types of device the kernel requires before being able to use the device driver model. The Device Tree infrastructure makes it very easy to make these discoverable by the rest of the kernel. For example, each interrupt controller driver has at least one entry like this: IRQCHIP_DECLARE(gic_400, "arm,gic-400", gic_of_init); which says: if you find a node having "arm,gic-400" as a compatible string in the device tree, then call gic_of_init with this node as a parameter. The probing itself is done by the OF layer when the architecture code calls of_irq_init() (usually via irqchip_init). This has a number of benefits: - The irqchip code is self-contained. No architecture specific entry point, no exposed symbols. Just a standard interface. - The low-level architecture code doesn't have to know about which interrupt controller is present. It just calls into the firmware interface (of_irq_init) which is going to sort things out. Similar infrastructure is provided for the timers/clock sources. Note that this is not a replacement for the device model, but acts as a probing infrastructure for things that are required too early for the device infrastructure to be available. What I'm aiming for is to introduce the same level of abstraction for ACPI, or at least for the few bits that are required before a full blown ACPI/device model can be used. For this, I introduce something vaguely similar: IRQCHIP_ACPI_DECLARE(gic_v2, ACPI_MADT_TYPE_GENERIC_DISTRIBUTOR, gic_validate_dist, ACPI_MADT_GIC_VERSION_V2, gic_v2_acpi_init); which says: if you find a ACPI_MADT_TYPE_GENERIC_DISTRIBUTOR entry in MADT (implied by the macro), and that entry is of type ACPI_MADT_GIC_VERSION_V2 (as checked by gic_validate_dist), then call gic_v2_acpi_init with the entry as a parameter. A bit more convoluted, but still without any special entry point. The various interrupt controller drivers can then implement the above, and the arch code can use a firmware-specific call to get the probing done, still oblivious to what interrupt controller is being used. It also makes the adaptation of a DT driver to ACPI easier. It turns out that providing such a probing infrastructure is rather easy, and provides a much deserved cleanup in both the arch code, the GIC driver, and the architected timer driver. An additional (and very much optional) patch renames files and symbols to make it obvious that the infrastructure is not just for DT anymore. I'm sure there is some more code to be deleted, and one can only wonder why this wasn't done before the arm64 code was initially merged (the diffstat says it all...). Patches are against Rafael's bleeding-edge branch, and a branch is available at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/maz/arm-platforms.git acpi/device-probing-v3 * From v2: - Addressed Rafael's comments (title for patch #1, macro/field names) - New config symbols for clocksources - Additional and optional last patch to get rid of the apparent dependency between the probing infrastructure and DT. * From the initial version: - Make the infrastructure more DT like by providing an acpi_probe_entry array per "device type" (one for irqchips, one for clocksources). This means that entries can depend on any ACPI static table. - Use some cpp magic to reduce the amount of code added to an absolute minimum. - Rebased on v4.3-rc1 Marc Zyngier (7): acpi: Add early device probing infrastructure irqchip/acpi: Add probing infrastructure for ACPI-based irqchips irqchip/gic: Convert the GIC driver to ACPI probing clocksource/acpi: Add probing infrastructure for ACPI-based clocksources clocksource: Add new CLKSRC_{PROBE,ACPI} config symbols clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Convert to ACPI probing clocksource: cosmetic: Drop OF 'dependency' from symbols arch/arm/kernel/time.c | 2 +- arch/arm/mach-omap2/timer.c | 4 +- arch/arm/mach-rockchip/rockchip.c | 2 +- arch/arm/mach-shmobile/setup-r8a7779.c | 2 +- arch/arm/mach-shmobile/setup-rcar-gen2.c | 2 +- arch/arm/mach-spear/spear13xx.c | 2 +- arch/arm/mach-sunxi/sunxi.c | 2 +- arch/arm/mach-u300/core.c | 2 +- arch/arm/mach-ux500/timer.c | 2 +- arch/arm/mach-zynq/common.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/include/asm/acpi.h | 1 - arch/arm64/include/asm/irq.h | 13 ---- arch/arm64/kernel/acpi.c | 25 -------- arch/arm64/kernel/time.c | 8 +-- arch/microblaze/kernel/setup.c | 2 +- arch/mips/pistachio/time.c | 2 +- arch/mips/ralink/clk.c | 2 +- arch/nios2/kernel/time.c | 2 +- arch/xtensa/kernel/time.c | 2 +- drivers/acpi/scan.c | 39 ++++++++++++ drivers/clocksource/Kconfig | 9 +++ drivers/clocksource/Makefile | 2 +- drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c | 10 +--- .../clocksource/{clksrc-of.c => clksrc-probe.c} | 6 +- drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c | 69 +++++++++++----------- drivers/irqchip/irqchip.c | 5 +- include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h | 12 ++++ include/linux/acpi.h | 66 +++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/acpi_irq.h | 10 ---- include/linux/clocksource.h | 13 ++-- include/linux/irqchip.h | 17 ++++++ include/linux/irqchip/arm-gic-acpi.h | 31 ---------- 32 files changed, 209 insertions(+), 159 deletions(-) rename drivers/clocksource/{clksrc-of.c => clksrc-probe.c} (91%) delete mode 100644 include/linux/acpi_irq.h delete mode 100644 include/linux/irqchip/arm-gic-acpi.h -- 2.1.4

[PATCH v4 0/5] Provide better MADT subtable sanity checks

by Al Stone

Currently, the BAD_MADT_ENTRY macro is used to do a very simple sanity check on the various subtables that are defined for the MADT. The check compares the size of the subtable data structure as defined by ACPICA to the length entry in the subtable. If they are not the same, the assumption is that the subtable is incorrect. Over time, the ACPI spec has allowed for MADT subtables where this can never be true (the local SAPIC subtable, for example). Or, more recently, the spec has accumulated some minor flaws where there are three possible sizes for a subtable, all of which are valid, but only for specific versions of the spec (the GICC subtable). In both cases, BAD_MADT_ENTRY reports these subtables as bad when they are not. In order to retain some sanity check on the MADT subtables, we now have to special case these subtables. Of necessity, these special cases have ended up in arch-dependent code (arm64) or an arch has simply decided to forgo the check (ia64). This patch set replaces the BAD_MADT_ENTRY macro with a function called bad_madt_entry(). This function uses a data set of details about the subtables to provide more sanity checking than before: -- is the subtable legal for the version given in the FADT? -- is the subtable legal for the revision of the MADT in use? -- is the subtable of the proper length (including checking on the one variable length subtable that is currently ignored), given the FADT version and the MADT revision? Further, this patch set adds in the call to bad_madt_entry() from the acpi_table_parse_madt() function, allowing it to be used consistently by all architectures, for all subtables, and removing the need for each of the subtable traversal callback functions to use BAD_MADT_ENTRY. In theory, as the ACPI specification changes, we would only have to add additional information to the data set describing the MADT subtables in order to continue providing sanity checks, even when new subtables are added. These patches have been tested on an APM Mustang (arm64) and are known to work there. They have also been cross-compiled for x86 and ia64 with no known failures. Changes for v4: -- Remove extraneous white space change (Graeme Gregory) -- acpi_parse_entries() changes also needed a check to make sure that only MADT entries used bad_madt_entry() (Sudeep Holla) -- inadvertent use of 01day build noted that bad_madt_entry() can be static, so added it (Sudeep Holla, Fengguang Wu) Changes for v3: -- Reviewed-and-tested-by from Sudeep Holla for arm64 parts -- Clearer language in error messages (Graeme Gregory, Timur Tabi) -- Double checked that inserting call to bad_madt_entry() into the function acpi_parse_entries() does not impact current behavior (Sudeep Holla) Changes for v2: -- Acked-by on 2/5 from Marc Zyngier and Catalin Marinas for ARM -- Correct faulty end of loop test found by Timur Tabi Al Stone (5): ACPI: add in a bad_madt_entry() function to eventually replace the macro ACPI / ARM64: remove usage of BAD_MADT_ENTRY/BAD_MADT_GICC_ENTRY ACPI / IA64: remove usage of BAD_MADT_ENTRY ACPI / X86: remove usage of BAD_MADT_ENTRY ACPI: remove definition of BAD_MADT_ENTRY macro arch/arm64/include/asm/acpi.h | 8 -- arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c | 2 - arch/ia64/kernel/acpi.c | 20 ---- arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c | 27 ----- drivers/acpi/tables.c | 244 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c | 6 -- include/linux/acpi.h | 4 - 7 files changed, 244 insertions(+), 67 deletions(-) -- 2.4.3

This function uses a data set of details about the subtables to provide more sanity checking than before: -- is the subtable legal for the version given in the FADT? -- is the subtable legal for the revision of the MADT in use? -- is the subtable of the proper length (including checking on the one variable length subtable that is currently ignored), given the FADT version and the MADT revision? Further, this patch set adds in the call to bad_madt_entry() from the acpi_table_parse_madt() function, allowing it to be used consistently by all architectures, for all subtables, and removing the need for each of the subtable traversal callback functions to use BAD_MADT_ENTRY. In theory, as the ACPI specification changes, we would only have to add additional information to the data set describing the MADT subtables in order to continue providing sanity checks, even when new subtables are added. These patches have been tested on an APM Mustang (arm64) and are known to work there. They have also been cross-compiled for x86 and ia64 with no known failures. Changes for v3: -- Reviewed-and-tested-by from Sudeep Holla for arm64 parts -- Clearer language in error messages (Graeme Gregory, Timur Tabi) -- Double checked that inserting call to bad_madt_entry() into the function acpi_parse_entries() does not impact current behavior (Sudeep Holla) Changes for v2: -- Acked-by on 2/5 from Marc Zyngier and Catalin Marinas for ARM -- Correct faulty end of loop test found by Timur Tabi Al Stone (5): ACPI: add in a bad_madt_entry() function to eventually replace the macro ACPI / ARM64: remove usage of BAD_MADT_ENTRY/BAD_MADT_GICC_ENTRY ACPI / IA64: remove usage of BAD_MADT_ENTRY ACPI / X86: remove usage of BAD_MADT_ENTRY ACPI: remove definition of BAD_MADT_ENTRY macro arch/arm64/include/asm/acpi.h | 8 -- arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c | 2 - arch/ia64/kernel/acpi.c | 20 ---- arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c | 27 ----- drivers/acpi/tables.c | 245 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c | 6 -- include/linux/acpi.h | 4 - 7 files changed, 244 insertions(+), 68 deletions(-) -- 2.4.3

[PATCH v4 0/7] Watchdog: introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver

by fu.wei＠linaro.org

From: Fu Wei <fu.wei(a)linaro.org> This patchset: (1)Introduce Documentation/devicetree/bindings/watchdog/sbsa-gwdt.txt for FDT info of SBSA Generic Watchdog, and give two examples of adding SBSA Generic Watchdog device node into the dts files: foundation-v8.dts and amd-seattle-soc.dtsi. (2)Introduce ACPI GTDT parser: drivers/acpi/gtdt.c Parse SBSA Generic Watchdog Structure in GTDT table of ACPI, and create a platform device with that information. This platform device can be used by This Watchdog driver. drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c is simplified by this GTDT support. (3)Introduce "pretimeout" into the watchdog framework, and update Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-kernel-api.txt to introduce: (1)the new elements in the watchdog_device and watchdog_ops struct; (2)the new API "watchdog_init_timeouts". (4)Introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver: a.Use linux kernel watchdog framework; b.Work with FDT on ARM64; c.Use "pretimeout" in watchdog framework; d.In first timeout, do panic to save system context; e.Support getting timeout and pretimeout from parameter and FDT at the driver init stage. This patchset has been tested with watchdog daemon (ACPI/FDT, module/build-in) on the following platforms: (1)ARM Foundation v8 model Changelog: v4: Refactor GTDT support code: remove it from arch/arm64/kernel/acpi.c, put it into drivers/acpi/gtdt.c file. Integrate the GTDT code of drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c into drivers/acpi/gtdt.c. Improve pretimeout support, fix "pretimeout == 0" problem. Simplify sbsa_gwdt driver: (1)timeout/pretimeout limits setup; (2)keepalive function; (3)delete "clk == 0" check; (4)delete WS0 status bit check in interrupt routine; (5)sbsa_gwdt_set_wcv function. v3: Delete "export arch_timer_get_rate" patch. Driver back to use arch_timer_get_cntfrq. Improve watchdog_init_timeouts function and update relevant documentation. Improve watchdog_timeout_invalid and watchdog_pretimeout_invalid. Improve foundation-v8.dts: delete the unnecessary tag of device node. Remove "ARM64 || COMPILE_TEST" from Kconfig. Add comments in arch/arm64/kernel/acpi.c Fix typoes and incorrect comments. v2: Improve watchdog-kernel-api.txt documentation for pretimeout support. Export "arch_timer_get_rate" in arm_arch_timer.c. Add watchdog_init_timeouts API for pretimeout support in framework. Improve suspend and resume foundation in driver Improve timeout/pretimeout values init code in driver. Delete unnecessary items of the sbsa_gwdt struct and #define. Delete all unnecessary debug info in driver. Fix 64bit division bug. Use the arch_timer interface to get watchdog clock rate. Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for platform device id. Fix typoes. v1: The first version upstream patchset to linux mailing list. Fu Wei (7): Documentation: add sbsa-gwdt.txt documentation ARM64: add SBSA Generic Watchdog device node in foundation-v8.dts ARM64: add SBSA Generic Watchdog device node in amd-seattle-soc.dtsi Watchdog: introdouce "pretimeout" into framework Watchdog: introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver ACPI: add GTDT table parse driver into ACPI driver clocksource: simplify ACPI code in arm_arch_timer.c .../devicetree/bindings/watchdog/sbsa-gwdt.txt | 36 ++ Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-kernel-api.txt | 47 ++- arch/arm64/boot/dts/amd/amd-seattle-soc.dtsi | 11 + arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/foundation-v8.dts | 10 + arch/arm64/kernel/time.c | 4 +- drivers/acpi/Kconfig | 9 + drivers/acpi/Makefile | 1 + drivers/acpi/gtdt.c | 180 +++++++++ drivers/clocksource/Kconfig | 1 + drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c | 60 +-- drivers/watchdog/Kconfig | 12 + drivers/watchdog/Makefile | 1 + drivers/watchdog/sbsa_gwdt.c | 426 +++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/watchdog/watchdog_core.c | 115 ++++-- drivers/watchdog/watchdog_dev.c | 53 +++ include/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.h | 8 + include/linux/acpi.h | 5 + include/linux/clocksource.h | 4 +- include/linux/watchdog.h | 33 +- 19 files changed, 927 insertions(+), 89 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/watchdog/sbsa-gwdt.txt create mode 100644 drivers/acpi/gtdt.c create mode 100644 drivers/watchdog/sbsa_gwdt.c -- 1.8.3.1
