Jörg Otte reports that commit a4675fbc4a (cpufreq: intel_pstate:
Replace timers with utilization update callbacks) caused the CPUs in
his Haswell-based system to stay in the very high frequency region
even if the system is completely idle.
That turns out to be an existing problem in the intel_pstate driver's
P-state selection algorithm for Core processors. Namely, all
decisions made by that algorithm are based on the average frequency
of the CPU between sampling events and on the P-state requested on
the last invocation, so it may get stuck at a very hight frequency
even if the utilization of the CPU is very low (in fact, it may get
stuck in a inadequate P-state regardless of the CPU utilization).
The only way to kick it out of that limbo is a sufficiently long idle
period (3 times longer than the prescribed sampling interval), but if
that doesn't happen often enough (eg. due to a timing change like
after the above commit), the P-state of the CPU may be inadequate
pretty much all the time.
To address the most egregious manifestations of that issue, reset the
core_busy value used to determine the next P-state to request if the
utilization of the CPU, determined with the help of the MPERF
feedback register and the TSC, is below 1%.

When user sets performance policy using cpufreq interface, it is possible
that because of policy->max limits, the actual performance is still
limited. But the current implementation will silently switch the
policy to powersave and start using powersave limits. If user modifies
any limits using intel_pstate sysfs, this is actually changing powersave
limits.
The current implementation tracks limits under powersave and performance
policy using two different variables. When policy->max is less than
policy->cpuinfo.max_freq, only powersave limit variable is used.
This fix causes the performance limits variable to be used always when
the policy is performance.

The initialization of intel_pstate for a given CPU involves populating
the fields of its struct cpudata that represent the previous sample,
but currently that is done in a problematic way.
Namely, intel_pstate_init_cpu() makes an extra call to
intel_pstate_sample() so it reads the current register values that
will be used to populate the "previous sample" record during the
next invocation of intel_pstate_sample(). However, after commit
a4675fbc4a (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with utilization
update callbacks) that doesn't work for last_sample_time, because
the time value is passed to intel_pstate_sample() as an argument now.
Passing 0 to it from intel_pstate_init_cpu() is problematic, because
that causes cpu->last_sample_time == 0 to be visible in
get_target_pstate_use_performance() (and hence the extra
cpu->last_sample_time > 0 check in there) and effectively allows
the first invocation of intel_pstate_sample() from
intel_pstate_update_util() to happen immediately after the
initialization which may lead to a significant "turn on"
effect in the governor algorithm.
To mitigate that issue, rework the initialization to avoid the
extra intel_pstate_sample() call from intel_pstate_init_cpu().
Instead, make intel_pstate_sample() return false if it has been
called with cpu->sample.time equal to zero, which will make
intel_pstate_update_util() skip the sample in that case, and
reset cpu->sample.time from intel_pstate_set_update_util_hook()
to make the algorithm start properly every time the hook is set.

The utilization update hook in the intel_pstate driver is set too
early, as it only should be set after the policy has been fully
initialized by the core. That may cause intel_pstate_update_util()
to use incorrect data and put the CPUs into incorrect P-states as
a result.
To prevent that from happening, make intel_pstate_set_policy() set
the utilization update hook instead of intel_pstate_init_cpu() so
intel_pstate_update_util() only runs when all things have been
initialized as appropriate.

After commit a4675fbc4a (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with
utilization update callbacks) wrmsrl_on_cpu() cannot be called in the
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() path as that is executed with
disabled interrupts. However, atom_set_pstate() called from there
via intel_pstate_set_pstate() uses wrmsrl_on_cpu() to update the
IA32_PERF_CTL MSR which triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
smp_call_function_single().
The reason why wrmsrl_on_cpu() is used by atom_set_pstate() is
because intel_pstate_set_pstate() calling it is also invoked during
the initialization and cleanup of the driver and in those cases it is
not guaranteed to be run on the CPU that is being updated. However,
in the case when intel_pstate_set_pstate() is called by
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate(), wrmsrl() can be used to update
the register safely. Moreover, intel_pstate_set_pstate() already
contains code that only is executed if the function is called by
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() and there is a special argument
passed to it because of that.
To fix the problem at hand, rearrange the code taking the above
observations into account.
First, replace the ->set() callback in struct pstate_funcs with a
->get_val() one that will return the value to be written to the
IA32_PERF_CTL MSR without updating the register.
Second, split intel_pstate_set_pstate() into two functions,
intel_pstate_update_pstate() to be called by
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() that will contain all of the
intel_pstate_set_pstate() code which only needs to be executed in
that case and will use wrmsrl() to update the MSR (after obtaining
the value to write to it from the ->get_val() callback), and
intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() to be invoked during the
initialization and cleanup that will set the P-state to the
minimum one and will update the MSR using wrmsrl_on_cpu().
Finally, move the code shared between intel_pstate_update_pstate()
and intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() to a new static inline function
intel_pstate_record_pstate() and make them both call it.
Of course, that unifies the handling of the IA32_PERF_CTL MSR writes
between Atom and Core.

If the current value of MPERF or the current value of TSC is the

However, intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() is still called in that
case which is not correct, so modify intel_pstate_sample() to
return a bool value indicating whether or not the sample has been
taken and use it to decide whether or not to call

Use the observation that cpufreq_update_util() is only called
by the scheduler with rq->lock held, so the callers of
cpufreq_set_update_util_data() can use synchronize_sched()
instead of synchronize_rcu() to wait for cpufreq_update_util()
to complete. Moreover, if they are updated to do that,
rcu_read_(un)lock() calls in cpufreq_update_util() might be
replaced with rcu_read_(un)lock_sched(), respectively, but
those aren't really necessary, because the scheduler calls
that function from RCU-sched read-side critical sections
already.
In addition to that, if cpufreq_set_update_util_data() checks
the func field in the struct update_util_data before setting
the per-CPU pointer to it, the data->func check may be dropped
from cpufreq_update_util() as well.

The intel-pstate driver is using intel_pstate_hwp_set() from two
separate paths, i.e. ->set_policy() callback and sysfs update path for
the files present in /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/ directory.
While an update to the sysfs path applies to all the CPUs being managed
by the driver (which essentially means all the online CPUs), the update
via the ->set_policy() callback applies to a smaller group of CPUs
managed by the policy for which ->set_policy() is called.
And so, intel_pstate_hwp_set() should update frequencies of only the
CPUs that are part of policy->cpus mask, while it is called from
->set_policy() callback.
In order to do that, add a parameter (cpumask) to intel_pstate_hwp_set()
and apply the frequency changes only to the concerned CPUs.
For ->set_policy() path, we are only concerned about policy->cpus, and
so policy->rwsem lock taken by the core prior to calling ->set_policy()
is enough to take care of any races. The larger lock acquired by
get_online_cpus() is required only for the updates to sysfs files.
Add another routine, intel_pstate_hwp_set_online_cpus(), and call it
from the sysfs update paths.
This also fixes a lockdep reported recently, where policy->rwsem and
get_online_cpus() could have been acquired in any order causing an ABBA
deadlock. The sequence of events leading to that was:
intel_pstate_init(...)
...cpufreq_online(...)
down_write(&policy->rwsem); // Locks policy->rwsem
...
cpufreq_init_policy(policy);
...intel_pstate_hwp_set();
get_online_cpus(); // Temporarily locks cpu_hotplug.lock
...
up_write(&policy->rwsem);
pm_suspend(...)
...disable_nonboot_cpus()
_cpu_down()
cpu_hotplug_begin(); // Locks cpu_hotplug.lock
__cpu_notify(CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, ...);
...cpufreq_offline_prepare();

In cases where we have many IOs, the global load becomes low and the
load algorithm will decrease the requested P-State. Because of that,
the IOs overheads will increase and impact the IO performances.
To improve IO bound work, we can count the io-wait time as busy time
in calculating CPU busy.
This change uses get_cpu_iowait_time_us() to obtain the IO wait time value
and converts time into number of cycles spent waiting on IO at the TSC
rate. At the moment, this trick is only used for Atom.

The current function to calculate cpu utilization uses the average P-state
ratio (APerf/Mperf) scaled by the ratio of the current P-state to the
max available non-turbo one. This leads to an overestimation of
utilization which causes higher-performance P-states to be selected more
often and that leads to increased energy consumption.
This is a problem for low-power systems, so it is better to use a
different utilization calculation algorithm for them.
Namely, the Percent Busy value (or load) can be estimated as the ratio of the
MPERF counter that runs at a constant rate only during active periods (C0) to
the time stamp counter (TSC) that also runs (at the same rate) during idle.
That is:
Percent Busy = 100 * (delta_mperf / delta_tsc)

Target systems using different cpus have different power and performance

For example, power-constrained systems may not want to use
high-performance P-states as aggressively as a full-size desktop or a
server platform. A server platform may want to run close to the max to
achieve better performance, while laptop-like systems may prefer
sacrificing performance for longer battery lifes.

On systems that initialize the intel_pstate driver with the performance
governor, and then switch to the powersave governor will not transition to
lower cpu frequencies until /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
is set to a low value.
The behavior of governor switching changed after commit a04759924e
("[cpufreq] intel_pstate: honor user space min_perf_pct override on
resume"). The commit introduced tracking of performance percentage
changes via sysfs in order to restore userspace changes during
suspend/resume. The problem occurs because the global values of the newly
introduced max_sysfs_pct and min_sysfs_pct are not lowered on the governor
change and this causes the powersave governor to inherit the performance
governor's settings.
A simple change would have been to reset max_sysfs_pct to 100 and
min_sysfs_pct to 0 on a governor change, which fixes the problem with
governor switching. However, since we cannot break userspace[1] the fix
is now to give each governor its own limits storage area so that governor
specific changes are tracked.
I successfully tested this by booting with both the performance governor
and the powersave governor by default, and switching between the two
governors (while monitoring /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/ values,
and looking at the output of cpupower frequency-info). Suspend/Resume
testing was performed by Doug Smythies.
[1] Systems which suspend/resume using the unmaintained pm-utils package
will always transition to the performance governor before the suspend and
after the resume. This means a system using the powersave governor will
go from powersave to performance, then suspend/resume, performance to
powersave. The simple change during governor changes would have been
overwritten when the governor changed before and after the suspend/resume.
I have submitted https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1271225
against Fedora to remove the 94cpufreq file that causes the problem. It
should be noted that pm-utils is obsoleted with newer versions of systemd.

and limit to non turbo max
- If the non turbo max ratio is more than _PSS max non turbo value, then
set the max non turbo ratio to _PSS non turbo max

PCT_TO_HWP does not take the actual range of pstates exported
by HWP_CAPABILITIES in account, and is broken on most platforms.

determining the range and adjusting by the min and max percent
limits values.

In current code, max_perf_pct might be smaller than min_perf_pct
by improper user input:
$ grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/m*_perf_pct
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct:100
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct:100
$ echo 80 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct
$ grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/m*_perf_pct
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct:80
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct:100
Fix this problem by 2 steps:
1. Normalize the user input to [min_policy, max_policy].
2. Make sure max_perf_pct>=min_perf_pct, suggested by Seiichi Ikarashi.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"From the number of commits perspective, the biggest items are ACPICA
and cpufreq changes with the latter taking the lead (over 50 commits).
On the cpufreq front, there are many cleanups and minor fixes in the
core and governors, driver updates etc. We also have a new cpufreq
driver for Mediatek MT8173 chips.
ACPICA mostly updates its debug infrastructure and adds a number of
fixes and cleanups for a good measure.
The Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is updated with new
DT bindings and support for them among other things.
We have a few updates of the generic power domains framework and a
reorganization of the ACPI device enumeration code and bus type
operations.
And a lot of fixes and cleanups all over.
Included is one branch from the MFD tree as it contains some
PM-related driver core and ACPI PM changes a few other commits are
based on.

Coverity scanning performed on intel_pstate.c shows possible
overflow when doing left shifting:
val = pstate << 8;
since pstate is of type integer, while val is of u64, left shifting
pstate might lead to potential loss of upper bits. Say, if pstate equals
0x4000 0000, after pstate << 8 we will get zero assigned to val.
Although pstate will not likely be that big, this patch cast the left
operand to u64 before performing the left shift, to avoid complaining
from Coverity.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The rework of backlight interface selection API from Hans de Goede
stands out from the number of commits and the number of affected
places perspective. The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are
quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because
they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the
majority of cases.
From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream
revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is
the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be
based on it going forward. Also included is an update of the ACPI
device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects
the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support
wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA
device configuration object.
The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation
updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points.
There is one fix for a regression introduced in the 4.1 cycle, but it
adds quite a number of lines of code, it wasn't really ready before
Thursday and you were on vacation, so I refrained from pushing it on
the last minute for 4.1.
