cpuidle: Call cpu_latency_qos_limit() instead of pm_qos_request()

2020-02-13T10:26:57Z

Call cpu_latency_qos_limit() instead of pm_qos_request(), because the latter is going to be dropped. No intentional functional impact. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Reviewed-by: Ulf Hansson Reviewed-by: Amit Kucheria Tested-by: Amit Kucheria

cpuidle: Use nanoseconds as the unit of time

2019-11-11T20:56:07Z

Currently, the cpuidle subsystem uses microseconds as the unit of time which (among other things) causes the idle loop to incur some integer division overhead for no clear benefit. In order to allow cpuidle to measure time in nanoseconds, add two new fields, exit_latency_ns and target_residency_ns, to represent the exit latency and target residency of an idle state in nanoseconds, respectively, to struct cpuidle_state and initialize them with the help of the corresponding values in microseconds provided by drivers. Additionally, change cpuidle_governor_latency_req() to return the idle state exit latency constraint in nanoseconds. Also meeasure idle state residency (last_residency_ns in struct cpuidle_device and time_ns in struct cpuidle_driver) in nanoseconds and update the cpuidle core and governors accordingly. However, the menu governor still computes typical intervals in microseconds to avoid integer overflows. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

cpuidle: allow governor switch on cpuidle_register_driver()

2019-09-11T15:36:30Z

The recently introduced haltpoll driver is largely only useful with haltpoll governor. To allow drivers to associate with a particular idle behaviour, add a @governor property to 'struct cpuidle_driver' and thus allow a cpuidle driver to switch to a *preferred* governor on idle driver registration. We save the previous governor, and when an idle driver is unregistered we switch back to that. The @governor can be overridden by cpuidle.governor= boot param or alternatively be ignored if the governor doesn't exist. Signed-off-by: Joao Martins Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM / QOS: Rename __dev_pm_qos_read_value() and dev_pm_qos_raw_read_value()

2019-07-04T08:40:54Z

dev_pm_qos_read_value() will soon need to support more constraint types (min/max frequency) and will have another argument to it, i.e. type of the constraint. While that is fine for the existing users of dev_pm_qos_read_value(), but not that optimal for the callers of __dev_pm_qos_read_value() and dev_pm_qos_raw_read_value() as all the callers of these two routines are only looking for resume latency constraint. Lets make these two routines care only about the resume latency constraint and rename them to __dev_pm_qos_resume_latency() and dev_pm_qos_raw_resume_latency(). Suggested-by: Rafael J.

cpuidle: governor: Add new governors to cpuidle_governors again

2019-03-12T22:46:55Z

After commit 61cb5758d3c4 ("cpuidle: Add cpuidle.governor= command line parameter") new cpuidle governors are not added to the list of available governors, so governor selection via sysfs doesn't work as expected (even though it is rarely used anyway). Fix that by making cpuidle_register_governor() add new governors to cpuidle_governors again.

cpuidle: Add cpuidle.governor= command line parameter

2018-12-11T11:08:44Z

Add cpuidle.governor= command line parameter to allow the default cpuidle governor to be replaced. That is useful, for example, if someone running a tickful kernel wants to use the menu governor on it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpuidle: governors: Consolidate PM QoS handling

2018-05-30T21:13:00Z

There is some code duplication related to the PM QoS handling between the existing cpuidle governors, so move that code to a common helper function and call that from the governors. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpuidle: governors: Remove remaining old module code

2016-10-21T12:49:51Z

The governor's code use try_module_get() and put_module() to refcount the governor's module. But the governors are not compiled as module. The refcount does not prevent to switch the governor or unload a module as they aren't compiled as modules. The code is pointless, so remove it. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

cpuidle: Replace strnicmp with strncasecmp

2014-09-24T23:17:10Z

The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited, case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and a slightly buggy strncasecmp. The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users. To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.
