cpufreq: schedutil: New governor based on scheduler utilization data Add a new cpufreq scaling governor, called "schedutil", that uses scheduler-provided CPU utilization information as input for making its decisions. Doing that is possible after commit 34e2c555f3e1 (cpufreq: Add mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks) that introduced cpufreq_update_util() called by the scheduler on utilization changes (from CFS) and RT/DL task status updates. In particular, CPU frequency scaling decisions may be based on the the utilization data passed to cpufreq_update_util() by CFS. The new governor is relatively simple. The frequency selection formula used by it depends on whether or not the utilization is frequency-invariant. In the frequency-invariant case the new CPU frequency is given by next_freq = 1.25 * max_freq * util / max where util and max are the last two arguments of cpufreq_update_util(). In turn, if util is not frequency-invariant, the maximum frequency in the above formula is replaced with the current frequency of the CPU: next_freq = 1.25 * curr_freq * util / max The coefficient 1.25 corresponds to the frequency tipping point at (util / max) = 0.8. All of the computations are carried out in the utilization update handlers provided by the new governor. One of those handlers is used for cpufreq policies shared between multiple CPUs and the other one is for policies with one CPU only (and therefore it doesn't need to use any extra synchronization means). The governor supports fast frequency switching if that is supported by the cpufreq driver in use and possible for the given policy. In the fast switching case, all operations of the governor take place in its utilization update handlers. If fast switching cannot be used, the frequency switch operations are carried out with the help of a work item which only calls __cpufreq_driver_target() (under a mutex) to trigger a frequency update (to a value already computed beforehand in one of the utilization update handlers). Currently, the governor treats all of the RT and DL tasks as "unknown utilization" and sets the frequency to the allowed maximum when updated from the RT or DL sched classes. That heavy-handed approach should be replaced with something more subtle and specifically targeted at RT and DL tasks. The governor shares some tunables management code with the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors and uses some common definitions from cpufreq_governor.h, but apart from that it is stand-alone.

sched: cpufreq: Allow remote cpufreq callbacks With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor for some time. One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this does not occur. This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for remote CPUs as well. The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU. The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks. This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling, galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements, while others didn't had much deviation. The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where following are required to be true to improve performance and that doesn't happen too often with these tests: - Task is migrated to another CPU. - The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher OPPs. - And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the next tick.

cpufreq: schedutil: Avoid reducing frequency of busy CPUs prematurely The way the schedutil governor uses the PELT metric causes it to underestimate the CPU utilization in some cases. That can be easily demonstrated by running kernel compilation on a Sandy Bridge Intel processor, running turbostat in parallel with it and looking at the values written to the MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL register. Namely, the expected result would be that when all CPUs were 100% busy, all of them would be requested to run in the maximum P-state, but observation shows that this clearly isn't the case. The CPUs run in the maximum P-state for a while and then are requested to run slower and go back to the maximum P-state after a while again. That causes the actual frequency of the processor to visibly oscillate below the sustainable maximum in a jittery fashion which clearly is not desirable. That has been attributed to CPU utilization metric updates on task migration that cause the total utilization value for the CPU to be reduced by the utilization of the migrated task. If that happens, the schedutil governor may see a CPU utilization reduction and will attempt to reduce the CPU frequency accordingly right away. That may be premature, though, for example if the system is generally busy and there are other runnable tasks waiting to be run on that CPU already. This is unlikely to be an issue on systems where cpufreq policies are shared between multiple CPUs, because in those cases the policy utilization is computed as the maximum of the CPU utilization values over the whole policy and if that turns out to be low, reducing the frequency for the policy most likely is a good idea anyway. On systems with one CPU per policy, however, it may affect performance adversely and even lead to increased energy consumption in some cases. On those systems it may be addressed by taking another utilization metric into consideration, like whether or not the CPU whose frequency is about to be reduced has been idle recently, because if that's not the case, the CPU is likely to be busy in the near future and its frequency should not be reduced. To that end, use the counter of idle calls in the timekeeping code. Namely, make the schedutil governor look at that counter for the current CPU every time before its frequency is about to be reduced. If the counter has not changed since the previous iteration of the governor computations for that CPU, the CPU has been busy for all that time and its frequency should not be decreased, so if the new frequency would be lower than the one set previously, the governor will skip the frequency update.

sched: cpufreq: Allow remote cpufreq callbacks With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor for some time. One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this does not occur. This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for remote CPUs as well. The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU. The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks. This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling, galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements, while others didn't had much deviation. The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where following are required to be true to improve performance and that doesn't happen too often with these tests: - Task is migrated to another CPU. - The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher OPPs. - And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the next tick.

cpufreq: schedutil: New governor based on scheduler utilization data Add a new cpufreq scaling governor, called "schedutil", that uses scheduler-provided CPU utilization information as input for making its decisions. Doing that is possible after commit 34e2c555f3e1 (cpufreq: Add mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks) that introduced cpufreq_update_util() called by the scheduler on utilization changes (from CFS) and RT/DL task status updates. In particular, CPU frequency scaling decisions may be based on the the utilization data passed to cpufreq_update_util() by CFS. The new governor is relatively simple. The frequency selection formula used by it depends on whether or not the utilization is frequency-invariant. In the frequency-invariant case the new CPU frequency is given by next_freq = 1.25 * max_freq * util / max where util and max are the last two arguments of cpufreq_update_util(). In turn, if util is not frequency-invariant, the maximum frequency in the above formula is replaced with the current frequency of the CPU: next_freq = 1.25 * curr_freq * util / max The coefficient 1.25 corresponds to the frequency tipping point at (util / max) = 0.8. All of the computations are carried out in the utilization update handlers provided by the new governor. One of those handlers is used for cpufreq policies shared between multiple CPUs and the other one is for policies with one CPU only (and therefore it doesn't need to use any extra synchronization means). The governor supports fast frequency switching if that is supported by the cpufreq driver in use and possible for the given policy.

This means there are certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor for some time. One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this does not occur. This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for remote CPUs as well. The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU. The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks.

Only galleryfling showed minor improvements, while others didn't had much deviation. The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where following are required to be true to improve performance and that doesn't happen too often with these tests: - Task is migrated to another CPU. - The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher OPPs. - And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the next tick.

sched: cpufreq: Allow remote cpufreq callbacks With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor for some time. One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this does not occur. This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for remote CPUs as well. The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU. The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks. This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling, galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements, while others didn't had much deviation. The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where following are required to be true to improve performance and that doesn't happen too often with these tests: - Task is migrated to another CPU. - The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher OPPs. - And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the next tick.

cpufreq: schedutil: Avoid reducing frequency of busy CPUs prematurely The way the schedutil governor uses the PELT metric causes it to underestimate the CPU utilization in some cases. That can be easily demonstrated by running kernel compilation on a Sandy Bridge Intel processor, running turbostat in parallel with it and looking at the values written to the MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL register. Namely, the expected result would be that when all CPUs were 100% busy, all of them would be requested to run in the maximum P-state, but observation shows that this clearly isn't the case. The CPUs run in the maximum P-state for a while and then are requested to run slower and go back to the maximum P-state after a while again. That causes the actual frequency of the processor to visibly oscillate below the sustainable maximum in a jittery fashion which clearly is not desirable. That has been attributed to CPU utilization metric updates on task migration that cause the total utilization value for the CPU to be reduced by the utilization of the migrated task. If that happens, the schedutil governor may see a CPU utilization reduction and will attempt to reduce the CPU frequency accordingly right away. That may be premature, though, for example if the system is generally busy and there are other runnable tasks waiting to be run on that CPU already. This is unlikely to be an issue on systems where cpufreq policies are shared between multiple CPUs, because in those cases the policy utilization is computed as the maximum of the CPU utilization values over the whole policy and if that turns out to be low, reducing the frequency for the policy most likely is a good idea anyway. On systems with one CPU per policy, however, it may affect performance adversely and even lead to increased energy consumption in some cases. On those systems it may be addressed by taking another utilization metric into consideration, like whether or not the CPU whose frequency is about to be reduced has been idle recently, because if that's not the case, the CPU is likely to be busy in the near future and its frequency should not be reduced. To that end, use the counter of idle calls in the timekeeping code. Namely, make the schedutil governor look at that counter for the current CPU every time before its frequency is about to be reduced. If the counter has not changed since the previous iteration of the governor computations for that CPU, the CPU has been busy for all that time and its frequency should not be decreased, so if the new frequency would be lower than the one set previously, the governor will skip the frequency update.

cpufreq: schedutil: New governor based on scheduler utilization data Add a new cpufreq scaling governor, called "schedutil", that uses scheduler-provided CPU utilization information as input for making its decisions. Doing that is possible after commit 34e2c555f3e1 (cpufreq: Add mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks) that introduced cpufreq_update_util() called by the scheduler on utilization changes (from CFS) and RT/DL task status updates. In particular, CPU frequency scaling decisions may be based on the the utilization data passed to cpufreq_update_util() by CFS. The new governor is relatively simple. The frequency selection formula used by it depends on whether or not the utilization is frequency-invariant. In the frequency-invariant case the new CPU frequency is given by next_freq = 1.25 * max_freq * util / max where util and max are the last two arguments of cpufreq_update_util(). In turn, if util is not frequency-invariant, the maximum frequency in the above formula is replaced with the current frequency of the CPU: next_freq = 1.25 * curr_freq * util / max The coefficient 1.25 corresponds to the frequency tipping point at (util / max) = 0.8. All of the computations are carried out in the utilization update handlers provided by the new governor. One of those handlers is used for cpufreq policies shared between multiple CPUs and the other one is for policies with one CPU only (and therefore it doesn't need to use any extra synchronization means). The governor supports fast frequency switching if that is supported by the cpufreq driver in use and possible for the given policy. In the fast switching case, all operations of the governor take place in its utilization update handlers. If fast switching cannot be used, the frequency switch operations are carried out with the help of a work item which only calls __cpufreq_driver_target() (under a mutex) to trigger a frequency update (to a value already computed beforehand in one of the utilization update handlers). Currently, the governor treats all of the RT and DL tasks as "unknown utilization" and sets the frequency to the allowed maximum when updated from the RT or DL sched classes. That heavy-handed approach should be replaced with something more subtle and specifically targeted at RT and DL tasks. The governor shares some tunables management code with the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors and uses some common definitions from cpufreq_governor.h, but apart from that it is stand-alone.

cpufreq: schedutil: New governor based on scheduler utilization data Add a new cpufreq scaling governor, called "schedutil", that uses scheduler-provided CPU utilization information as input for making its decisions. Doing that is possible after commit 34e2c555f3e1 (cpufreq: Add mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks) that introduced cpufreq_update_util() called by the scheduler on utilization changes (from CFS) and RT/DL task status updates. In particular, CPU frequency scaling decisions may be based on the the utilization data passed to cpufreq_update_util() by CFS. The new governor is relatively simple. The frequency selection formula used by it depends on whether or not the utilization is frequency-invariant. In the frequency-invariant case the new CPU frequency is given by next_freq = 1.25 * max_freq * util / max where util and max are the last two arguments of cpufreq_update_util(). In turn, if util is not frequency-invariant, the maximum frequency in the above formula is replaced with the current frequency of the CPU: next_freq = 1.25 * curr_freq * util / max The coefficient 1.25 corresponds to the frequency tipping point at (util / max) = 0.8. All of the computations are carried out in the utilization update handlers provided by the new governor. One of those handlers is used for cpufreq policies shared between multiple CPUs and the other one is for policies with one CPU only (and therefore it doesn't need to use any extra synchronization means). The governor supports fast frequency switching if that is supported by the cpufreq driver in use and possible for the given policy. In the fast switching case, all operations of the governor take place in its utilization update handlers. If fast switching cannot be used, the frequency switch operations are carried out with the help of a work item which only calls __cpufreq_driver_target() (under a mutex) to trigger a frequency update (to a value already computed beforehand in one of the utilization update handlers). Currently, the governor treats all of the RT and DL tasks as "unknown utilization" and sets the frequency to the allowed maximum when updated from the RT or DL sched classes. That heavy-handed approach should be replaced with something more subtle and specifically targeted at RT and DL tasks. The governor shares some tunables management code with the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors and uses some common definitions from cpufreq_governor.h, but apart from that it is stand-alone.

cpufreq: schedutil: use now as reference when aggregating shared policy requests Currently, sugov_next_freq_shared() uses last_freq_update_time as a reference to decide when to start considering CPU contributions as stale. However, since last_freq_update_time is set by the last CPU that issued a frequency transition, this might cause problems in certain cases. In practice, the detection of stale utilization values fails whenever the CPU with such values was the last to update the policy. For example (and please note again that the SCHED_CPUFREQ_RT flag is not the problem here, but only the detection of after how much time that flag has to be considered stale), suppose a policy with 2 CPUs: CPU0 | CPU1 | | RT task scheduled | SCHED_CPUFREQ_RT is set | CPU1->last_update = now | freq transition to max | last_freq_update_time = now | more than TICK_NSEC nsecs | a small CFS wakes up | CPU0->last_update = now1 | delta_ns(CPU0) < TICK_NSEC* | CPU0's util is considered | delta_ns(CPU1) = | last_freq_update_time - | CPU1->last_update = 0 | < TICK_NSEC | CPU1 is still considered | CPU1->SCHED_CPUFREQ_RT is set | we stay at max (until CPU1 | exits from idle) | * delta_ns is actually negative as now1 > last_freq_update_time While last_freq_update_time is a sensible reference for rate limiting, it doesn't seem to be useful for working around stale CPU states. Fix the problem by always considering now (time) as the reference for deciding when CPUs have stale contributions.

In particular, CPU frequency scaling decisions may be based on the the utilization data passed to cpufreq_update_util() by CFS. The new governor is relatively simple. The frequency selection formula used by it depends on whether or not the utilization is frequency-invariant. In the frequency-invariant case the new CPU frequency is given by next_freq = 1.25 * max_freq * util / max where util and max are the last two arguments of cpufreq_update_util(). In turn, if util is not frequency-invariant, the maximum frequency in the above formula is replaced with the current frequency of the CPU: next_freq = 1.25 * curr_freq * util / max The coefficient 1.25 corresponds to the frequency tipping point at (util / max) = 0.8. All of the computations are carried out in the utilization update handlers provided by the new governor. One of those handlers is used for cpufreq policies shared between multiple CPUs and the other one is for policies with one CPU only (and therefore it doesn't need to use any extra synchronization means). The governor supports fast frequency switching if that is supported by the cpufreq driver in use and possible for the given policy. In the fast switching case, all operations of the governor take place in its utilization update handlers. If fast switching cannot be used, the frequency switch operations are carried out with the help of a work item which only calls __cpufreq_driver_target() (under a mutex) to trigger a frequency update (to a value already computed beforehand in one of the utilization update handlers). Currently, the governor treats all of the RT and DL tasks as "unknown utilization" and sets the frequency to the allowed maximum when updated from the RT or DL sched classes.

sched: cpufreq: Allow remote cpufreq callbacks With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor for some time. One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this does not occur. This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for remote CPUs as well. The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU. The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks. This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling, galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements, while others didn't had much deviation. The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where following are required to be true to improve performance and that doesn't happen too often with these tests: - Task is migrated to another CPU. - The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher OPPs. - And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the next tick.

cpufreq: schedutil: use now as reference when aggregating shared policy requests Currently, sugov_next_freq_shared() uses last_freq_update_time as a reference to decide when to start considering CPU contributions as stale. However, since last_freq_update_time is set by the last CPU that issued a frequency transition, this might cause problems in certain cases. In practice, the detection of stale utilization values fails whenever the CPU with such values was the last to update the policy. For example (and please note again that the SCHED_CPUFREQ_RT flag is not the problem here, but only the detection of after how much time that flag has to be considered stale), suppose a policy with 2 CPUs: CPU0 | CPU1 | | RT task scheduled | SCHED_CPUFREQ_RT is set | CPU1->last_update = now | freq transition to max | last_freq_update_time = now | more than TICK_NSEC nsecs | a small CFS wakes up | CPU0->last_update = now1 | delta_ns(CPU0) < TICK_NSEC* | CPU0's util is considered | delta_ns(CPU1) = | last_freq_update_time - | CPU1->last_update = 0 | < TICK_NSEC | CPU1 is still considered | CPU1->SCHED_CPUFREQ_RT is set | we stay at max (until CPU1 | exits from idle) | * delta_ns is actually negative as now1 > last_freq_update_time While last_freq_update_time is a sensible reference for rate limiting, it doesn't seem to be useful for working around stale CPU states. Fix the problem by always considering now (time) as the reference for deciding when CPUs have stale contributions.

cpufreq: schedutil: New governor based on scheduler utilization data Add a new cpufreq scaling governor, called "schedutil", that uses scheduler-provided CPU utilization information as input for making its decisions. Doing that is possible after commit 34e2c555f3e1 (cpufreq: Add mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks) that introduced cpufreq_update_util() called by the scheduler on utilization changes (from CFS) and RT/DL task status updates. In particular, CPU frequency scaling decisions may be based on the the utilization data passed to cpufreq_update_util() by CFS. The new governor is relatively simple. The frequency selection formula used by it depends on whether or not the utilization is frequency-invariant. In the frequency-invariant case the new CPU frequency is given by next_freq = 1.25 * max_freq * util / max where util and max are the last two arguments of cpufreq_update_util(). In turn, if util is not frequency-invariant, the maximum frequency in the above formula is replaced with the current frequency of the CPU: next_freq = 1.25 * curr_freq * util / max The coefficient 1.25 corresponds to the frequency tipping point at (util / max) = 0.8. All of the computations are carried out in the utilization update handlers provided by the new governor. One of those handlers is used for cpufreq policies shared between multiple CPUs and the other one is for policies with one CPU only (and therefore it doesn't need to use any extra synchronization means). The governor supports fast frequency switching if that is supported by the cpufreq driver in use and possible for the given policy. In the fast switching case, all operations of the governor take place in its utilization update handlers. If fast switching cannot be used, the frequency switch operations are carried out with the help of a work item which only calls __cpufreq_driver_target() (under a mutex) to trigger a frequency update (to a value already computed beforehand in one of the utilization update handlers). Currently, the governor treats all of the RT and DL tasks as "unknown utilization" and sets the frequency to the allowed maximum when updated from the RT or DL sched classes. That heavy-handed approach should be replaced with something more subtle and specifically targeted at RT and DL tasks. The governor shares some tunables management code with the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors and uses some common definitions from cpufreq_governor.h, but apart from that it is stand-alone.

cpufreq: schedutil: New governor based on scheduler utilization data Add a new cpufreq scaling governor, called "schedutil", that uses scheduler-provided CPU utilization information as input for making its decisions. Doing that is possible after commit 34e2c555f3e1 (cpufreq: Add mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks) that introduced cpufreq_update_util() called by the scheduler on utilization changes (from CFS) and RT/DL task status updates. In particular, CPU frequency scaling decisions may be based on the the utilization data passed to cpufreq_update_util() by CFS. The new governor is relatively simple. The frequency selection formula used by it depends on whether or not the utilization is frequency-invariant. In the frequency-invariant case the new CPU frequency is given by next_freq = 1.25 * max_freq * util / max where util and max are the last two arguments of cpufreq_update_util(). In turn, if util is not frequency-invariant, the maximum frequency in the above formula is replaced with the current frequency of the CPU: next_freq = 1.25 * curr_freq * util / max The coefficient 1.25 corresponds to the frequency tipping point at (util / max) = 0.8. All of the computations are carried out in the utilization update handlers provided by the new governor. One of those handlers is used for cpufreq policies shared between multiple CPUs and the other one is for policies with one CPU only (and therefore it doesn't need to use any extra synchronization means). The governor supports fast frequency switching if that is supported by the cpufreq driver in use and possible for the given policy. In the fast switching case, all operations of the governor take place in its utilization update handlers. If fast switching cannot be used, the frequency switch operations are carried out with the help of a work item which only calls __cpufreq_driver_target() (under a mutex) to trigger a frequency update (to a value already computed beforehand in one of the utilization update handlers). Currently, the governor treats all of the RT and DL tasks as "unknown utilization" and sets the frequency to the allowed maximum when updated from the RT or DL sched classes.

Currently, the governor treats all of the RT and DL tasks as "unknown utilization" and sets the frequency to the allowed maximum when updated from the RT or DL sched classes. That heavy-handed approach should be replaced with something more subtle and specifically targeted at RT and DL tasks. The governor shares some tunables management code with the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors and uses some common definitions from cpufreq_governor.h, but apart from that it is stand-alone.

sched: cpufreq: Allow remote cpufreq callbacks With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor for some time. One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this does not occur. This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for remote CPUs as well. The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU. The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks. This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling, galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements, while others didn't had much deviation. The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where following are required to be true to improve performance and that doesn't happen too often with these tests: - Task is migrated to another CPU. - The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher OPPs. - And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the next tick.
