Powertop Bugs on ARM [1311381, 1316096]

by Mohammad Merajul Islam Molla

Hello, I tested powertop on Samsung Arndale Board with Ubuntu Saucy Server 14.01 with custom kernel (config file attached, powertop config options enabled), and reported a bug 1316096. Also, I found the other bug 1316096 happening on arndale board. In short, bug 1316096 - Powertop displays "nan" on top [summary] where it should show legal value. Summary: nan wakeups/second, nan GPU ops/seconds, nan VFS ops/sec and -0.0% CPU use <--- displays "nan" instead of valid value bug 1316096 - Idle stats & Frequency stats pages are empty. I did some debugging and it seems that the root cause of both the bugs may be same. It looks like the parsing code enumerate_cpus()[src/cpu/cpu.cpp] called from main.cpp, is expecting /proc/cpuinfo file in a particular format which works on Intel but not on ARM. On Intel, it gets the file in the format expected. However, on ARM on Arndale board with saucy server, the file looks as below - processor : 0 model name : ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfpv3 tls vfpv4 idiva idivt vfpd32 lpae evtstrm CPU implementer : 0x41 CPU architecture: 7 CPU variant : 0x0 CPU part : 0xc0f CPU revision : 4 processor : 1 model name : ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfpv3 tls vfpv4 idiva idivt vfpd32 lpae evtstrm CPU implementer : 0x41 CPU architecture: 7 CPU variant : 0x0 CPU part : 0xc0f CPU revision : 4 Hardware : SAMSUNG EXYNOS5 (Flattened Device Tree) Revision : 0000 Serial : 0000000000000000 The parsing code which gathers information about cpus, fails to parse this file and as a result the vector "all_cpus" remains empty. I played with it a bit more and added a few lines to get a work around as follows - in function enumarate_cpus(): if (strncmp(line, "processor\t",10) == 0) { char *c; c = strchr(line, ':'); if (c) { c++; number = strtoull(c, NULL, 10); * handle_one_cpu(number, "Samsung", 0, 0); [ line added]* * set_max_cpu(number); [ line added]* } } With this changes, idle stat and frequency pages were populated and summary was shown properly as noted below - *Summary: 392.6 wakeups/second, 0.0 GPU ops/seconds, 0.0 VFS ops/sec and 4.0% CPU use* I think due to this bug, the information shown on summary page was also not correct and some other info displayed by powertop may be incorrect too. Please comment. -- Thanks, -Meraj

why is the the smp_mb() in arm64's barrier.h "dmb ish"?

by KelvinKLi＠via-alliance.com

Hi All, In arch/arm64/include/asm/barrier.h, there is the definition of smp_mb()/smp_rmb()/smp_wmb() for arm64. I noticed that all the 3 macors are using "dmb ishxx", which is only affect the cluster of the CPU executing the instruction. But in the big.LITTLE system, there will be 2 cluster. So the smp_mb()/smp_rmb()/smp_wmb() cannot affect all the CPU in the system. Is there other considerations so that smp_mb()/smp_rmb()/smp_wmb() are implemented to "only affecting inner sharable cores"? Best Regards, Kelvin K.

Fedora for AArch64 now available

by Al Stone

FYI: for those interested in Fedora, I thought I would pass on an announcement from Paul Whalen recently sent to the fedora-arm mailing list...you can now pick a remix image using the links highlighted below... Good afternoon folks, David Marlin has posted a new Aarch64 Fedora Rawhide Remix for those interested in upgrading from the F19 bootstrap image. The remix includes a lookaside repository[1] to provide a patched kernel and packages not yet built for aarch64. Instructions for downloading and using the remix have been added to the Quickstart[2] page.

[PATCH] Output format of powerdebug is messed up on Samsung Arndale Board

by Mohammad Merajul Islam Molla

Hello, This is for launchpad bug 1307896 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-powerdebug/+bug/1307896). While displaying information about "Regulators" output becomes really messy (zig zag) on Samsung Arndale Board (Exynos 5250, Cortex A-15). It looks like the output field size "11" for printing regulator name is not enough. Some regulators have longer names. Hence proposing to increase this field size to a higher value, i.e. 25. Patch goes here - ---------------------------- diff --git a/regulator.c b/regulator.c index 9cd89fd..045cceb 100644 --- a/regulator.c +++ b/regulator.c @@ -127,7 +127,7 @@ static int regulator_display_cb(struct tree *t, void *data) if (!strlen(reg->name)) return 0; - if (asprintf(&buf, "%-11s %-11s %-11s %-11s %-11d %-11d %-11d %-12d", + if (asprintf(&buf, "%-25s %-11s %-11s %-11s %-11d %-11d %-11d %-12d", reg->name, reg->status, reg->state, reg->type, reg->num_users, reg->microvolts, reg->min_microvolts, reg->max_microvolts) < 0) @@ -147,7 +147,7 @@ static int regulator_print_header(void) char *buf; int ret; - if (asprintf(&buf, "%-11s %-11s %-11s %-11s %-11s %-11s %-11s %-12s", + if (asprintf(&buf, "%-25s %-11s %-11s %-11s %-11s %-11s %-11s %-12s", "Name", "Status", "State", "Type", "Users", "Microvolts", "Min u-volts", "Max u-volts") < 0) return -1; -- Thanks, -Meraj
