Merge tag 'soc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc

2012-12-12T20:05:15+00:00

Pull ARM SoC updates from Olof Johansson:
 "This contains the bulk of new SoC development for this merge window.

  Two new platforms have been added, the sunxi platforms (Allwinner A1x
  SoCs) by Maxime Ripard, and a generic Broadcom platform for a new
  series of ARMv7 platforms from them, where the hope is that we can
  keep the platform code generic enough to have them all share one mach
  directory.  The new Broadcom platform is contributed by Christian
  Daudt.

  Highbank has grown support for Calxeda's next generation of hardware,
  ECX-2000.

  clps711x has seen a lot of cleanup from Alexander Shiyan, and he's
  also taken on maintainership of the platform.

  Beyond this there has been a bunch of work from a number of people on
  converting more platforms to IRQ domains, pinctrl conversion, cleanup
  and general feature enablement across most of the active platforms."

Fix up trivial conflicts as per Olof.

cpuidle: Measure idle state durations with monotonic clock

2012-11-27T13:17:58+00:00

Many cpuidle drivers measure their time spent in an idle state by
reading the wallclock time before and after idling and calculating the
difference. This leads to erroneous results when the wallclock time gets
updated by another processor in the meantime, adding that clock
adjustment to the idle state's time counter.

If the clock adjustment was negative, the result is even worse due to an
erroneous cast from int to unsigned long long of the last_residency
variable. The negative 32 bit integer will zero-extend and result in a
forward time jump of roughly four billion milliseconds or 1.3 hours on
the idle state residency counter.

This patch changes all affected cpuidle drivers to either use the
monotonic clock for their measurements or make use of the generic time
measurement wrapper in cpuidle.c, which was already working correctly.
Some superfluous CLIs/STIs in the ACPI code are removed (interrupts
should always already be disabled before entering the idle function, and
not get reenabled until the generic wrapper has performed its second
measurement). It also removes the erroneous cast, making sure that
negative residency values are applied correctly even though they should
not appear anymore.

cpuidle: support multiple drivers

2012-11-14T23:34:23+00:00

With the tegra3 and the big.LITTLE [1] new architectures, several cpus
with different characteristics (latencies and states) can co-exists on the
system.

The cpuidle framework has the limitation of handling only identical cpus.

This patch removes this limitation by introducing the multiple driver support
for cpuidle.

This option is configurable at compile time and should be enabled for the
architectures mentioned above. So there is no impact for the other platforms
if the option is disabled. The option defaults to 'n'. Note the multiple drivers
support is also compatible with the existing drivers, even if just one driver is
needed, all the cpu will be tied to this driver using an extra small chunk of
processor memory.

The multiple driver support use a per-cpu driver pointer instead of a global
variable and the accessor to this variable are done from a cpu context.

In order to keep the compatibility with the existing drivers, the function
'cpuidle_register_driver' and 'cpuidle_unregister_driver' will register
the specified driver for all the cpus.

The semantic for the output of /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_driver
remains the same except the driver name will be related to the current cpu.

The /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]/cpuidle/driver/name files are added
allowing to read the per cpu driver name.

cpuidle: prepare the cpuidle core to handle multiple drivers

2012-11-14T23:34:22+00:00

This patch is a preparation for the multiple cpuidle drivers support.

As the next patch will introduce the multiple drivers with the Kconfig
option and we want to keep the code clean and understandable, this patch
defines a set of functions for encapsulating some common parts and splits
what should be done under a lock from the rest.

cpuidle: move driver checking within the lock section

2012-11-14T23:34:22+00:00

The code is racy and the check with cpuidle_curr_driver should be
done under the lock.

I don't find a path in the different drivers where that could happen
because the arch specific drivers are written in such way it is not
possible to register a driver while it is unregistered, except maybe
in a very improbable case when "intel_idle" and "processor_idle" are
competing. One could unregister a driver, while the other one is
registering.

cpuidle: fixup device.h header in cpuidle.h

2012-11-14T23:34:21+00:00

The "struct device" is only used in sysfs.c.

The other .c files including the private header "cpuidle.h"
do not need to pull the entire headers tree from there as they
don't manipulate the "struct device".

This patch fixes this by moving the header inclusion to sysfs.c
and adding a forward declaration for the struct device.

The structure cpuidle_state_kobj is not used anywhere except

cpuidle: Get typical recent sleep interval

2012-11-14T23:34:20+00:00

The function detect_repeating_patterns was not very useful for
workloads with alternating long and short pauses, for example
virtual machines handling network requests for each other (say
a web and database server).

Instead, try to find a recent sleep interval that is somewhere
between the median and the mode sleep time, by discarding outliers
to the up side and recalculating the average and standard deviation
until that is no longer required.

This should do something sane with a sleep interval series like:

	200 180 210 10000 30 1000 170 200

The current code would simply discard such a series, while the
new code will guess a typical sleep interval just shy of 200.

The original patch come from Rik van Riel .
