2017-10-26PM / devfreq: Show the all available frequenciesChanwoo Choi
The commit a76caf55e5b35 ("thermal: Add devfreq cooling") allows the devfreq device to use the cooling device. When the cooling down are required, the devfreq_cooling.c disables the OPP entry with the dev_pm_opp_disable(). In result, 'available_frequencies'[1] sysfs node never came to show the all available frequencies. [1] /sys/class/devfreq/.../available_frequencies So, this patch uses the 'freq_table' in the 'struct devfreq_dev_profile' in order to show the all available frequencies. - If 'freq_table' is NULL, devfreq core initializes them by using OPP values. - If 'freq_table' is initialized, devfreq core just uses the 'freq_table'.

The commit a76caf55e5b35 ("thermal: Add devfreq cooling") is able to disable OPP as a cooling device. In result, both update_devfreq() and {min|max}_freq_show() have to consider the 'opp->available' status of each OPP. So, this patch adds the 'scaling_{min|max}_freq' to struct devfreq in order to indicate the available mininum and maximum frequency by adjusting OPP interface such as dev_pm_opp_{disable|enable}(). The 'scaling_{min|max}_freq' are used for on both update_devfreq() and {min|max}_freq_show().

2016-05-03PM / devfreq: Add new passive governorChanwoo Choi
This patch adds the new passive governor for DEVFREQ framework. The following governors are already present and used for DVFS (Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling) drivers. The following governors are independently used for one device driver which don't give the influence to other device drviers and also don't receive the effect from other device drivers. - ondemand / performance / powersave / userspace The passive governor depends on operation of parent driver with specific governos extremely and is not able to decide the new frequency by oneself. According to the decided new frequency of parent driver with governor, the passive governor uses it to decide the appropriate frequency for own device driver. The passive governor must need the following information from device tree: - the source clock and OPP tables - the instance of parent device For exameple, there are one more devfreq device drivers which need to change their source clock according to their utilization on runtime. But, they share the same power line (e.g., regulator). So, specific device driver is operated as parent with ondemand governor and then the rest device driver with passive governor is influenced by parent device.

Prepare devfreq core framework to support devices which can idle. When device idleness is detected perhaps through runtime-pm, need some mechanism to suspend devfreq load monitoring and resume back when device is online. Present code continues monitoring unless device is removed from devfreq core. This patch introduces following design changes, - use per device work instead of global work to monitor device load. This enables suspend/resume of device devfreq and reduces monitoring code complexity. - decouple delayed work based load monitoring logic from core by introducing helpers functions to be used by governors. This provides flexibility for governors either to use delayed work based monitoring functions or to implement their own mechanism. - devfreq core interacts with governors via events to perform specific actions. These events include start/stop devfreq. This sets ground for adding suspend/resume events. The devfreq apis are not modified and are kept intact.

The semantics of "target frequency" given to devfreq driver from devfreq framework has always been interpretted as "at least" or GLB (greatest lower bound). However, the framework might want the device driver to limit its max frequency (LUB: least upper bound), especially if it is given by thermal framework (it's too hot). Thus, the target fuction should have another parameter to express whether the framework wants GLB or LUB. And, the additional parameter, "u32 flags", does it.

2011-10-02PM / devfreq: Add basic governorsMyungJoo Ham
Four cpufreq-like governors are provided as examples. powersave: use the lowest frequency possible. The user (device) should set the polling_ms as 0 because polling is useless for this governor. performance: use the highest freqeuncy possible. The user (device) should set the polling_ms as 0 because polling is useless for this governor. userspace: use the user specified frequency stored at devfreq.user_set_freq. With sysfs support in the following patch, a user may set the value with the sysfs interface. simple_ondemand: simplified version of cpufreq's ondemand governor. When a user updates OPP entries (enable/disable/add), OPP framework automatically notifies devfreq to update operating frequency accordingly. Thus, devfreq users (device drivers) do not need to update devfreq manually with OPP entry updates or set polling_ms for powersave , performance, userspace, or any other "static" governors. Note that these are given only as basic examples for governors and any devices with devfreq may implement their own governors with the drivers and use them.

2011-10-02PM: Introduce devfreq: generic DVFS framework with device-specific OPPsMyungJoo Ham
With OPPs, a device may have multiple operable frequency and voltage sets. However, there can be multiple possible operable sets and a system will need to choose one from them. In order to reduce the power consumption (by reducing frequency and voltage) without affecting the performance too much, a Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) scheme may be used. This patch introduces the DVFS capability to non-CPU devices with OPPs. DVFS is a techique whereby the frequency and supplied voltage of a device is adjusted on-the-fly. DVFS usually sets the frequency as low as possible with given conditions (such as QoS assurance) and adjusts voltage according to the chosen frequency in order to reduce power consumption and heat dissipation. The generic DVFS for devices, devfreq, may appear quite similar with /drivers/cpufreq. However, cpufreq does not allow to have multiple devices registered and is not suitable to have multiple heterogenous devices with different (but simple) governors. Normally, DVFS mechanism controls frequency based on the demand for the device, and then, chooses voltage based on the chosen frequency. devfreq also controls the frequency based on the governor's frequency recommendation and let OPP pick up the pair of frequency and voltage based on the recommended frequency. Then, the chosen OPP is passed to device driver's "target" callback. When PM QoS is going to be used with the devfreq device, the device driver should enable OPPs that are appropriate with the current PM QoS requests. In order to do so, the device driver may call opp_enable and opp_disable at the notifier callback of PM QoS so that PM QoS's update_target() call enables the appropriate OPPs. Note that at least one of OPPs should be enabled at any time; be careful when there is a transition.
