[PATCH 0/4] Restore big.LITTLE cpuidle driver for Exynos

[PATCH 0/4] Restore big.LITTLE cpuidle driver for Exynos

[Marek Szyprowski]

The ARM big.LITTLE cpuidle driver has been enabled and tested on Samsung
Exynos 5420/5800 based Peach Pit/Pi Chromebooks and in fact it worked
only on those boards.

However, support for it was broken by the commit 833b5794e330 ("ARM:
EXYNOS: reset Little cores when cpu is up") and then never enabled in the
exynos_defconfig. This patchset provides the needed fix to the common
code and restores support for it. Thanks to Lukasz Luba who motivated me
to take a look into this issue.

[PATCH 1/4] ARM: exynos: Apply little core workaround only under secure firmware

[Marek Szyprowski]

The additional soft-reset call during little core power up was needed
to properly boot all cores on the Exynos5422-based boards with secure
firmware (like Odroid XU3/XU4 family). This however broke big.LITTLE
CPUidle driver, which worked only on boards without secure firmware
(like Peach-Pit/Pi Chromebooks).

Apply the workaround only when board is running under secure firmware.

Hi Marek,

I've give it a try with hotplug torture tests and has only one a minor

I can see that you have moved this call up, probably to avoid more
'if-else' stuff. I just wanted to notify you that this function
'exynos_cpu_powerup' is called twice when cpu is going up:
1. by the already running cpu i.e. CPU0 and the 'state' is 0 for i.e.
CPU2
2. by the newly starting cpu i.e. CPU2 by running
'secondary_start_kernel' and the state is 3.

In this scenario the 'exynos_cpu_power_up' will be called twice.
I have checked in hotplug that this is not causing any issues, but
thought maybe it's worth share it with you. Maybe you can double check
in TRM that this is not causing anything.

Other than that, the patch set looks good to me.

Fix the Fixes tag (in case of resend, otherwise I'll do it).

This brings the old code, before 833b5794e33. I wonder why? I understood
that only soft-reset should be skipped.

Because otherwise the Peach boards hangs during the cpuidle. I didn't 
analyze the code that much to judge if it is really necessary in all 
cases, I only restored what worked initially. I can add a comment about 
that to the commit log if needed.

Because otherwise the Peach boards hangs during the cpuidle. I didn't 
analyze the code that much to judge if it is really necessary in all 
cases, I only restored what worked initially. I can add a comment about 
that to the commit log if needed.

[PATCH v2 1/4] ARM: exynos: MCPM: Restore big.LITTLE cpuidle support

[Marek Szyprowski]

Call exynos_cpu_power_up(cpunr) unconditionally. This is needed by the
big.LITTLE cpuidle driver and has no side-effects on other code paths.

The additional soft-reset call during little core power up has been added
to properly boot all cores on the Exynos5422-based boards with secure
firmware (like Odroid XU3/XU4 family). This however broke big.LITTLE
CPUidle driver, which worked only on boards without secure firmware (like
Peach-Pit/Pi Chromebooks). Apply the workaround only when board is
running under secure firmware.

[PATCH 2/4] cpuidle: big.LITTLE: enable driver only on Peach-Pit/Pi Chromebooks

[Marek Szyprowski]

This driver always worked properly only on the Exynos 5420/5800 based
Chromebooks (Peach-Pit/Pi), so change the required compatible string to
the 'google,peach', to avoid enabling it on the other Exynos 542x/5800
boards, which hangs in such case. The main difference between Peach-Pit/Pi
and other Exynos 542x/5800 boards is the firmware - Peach platform doesn't
use secure firmware at all.

This patch waited on list for almost two months and was not picked up.
Therefore I'll take it for v5.10.

Thanks, applied.

It happens some patches can fall into the cracks, especially when we are
fully busy with a peak of work. Also, we have filters in our mailers
which are not perfect. A gentle ping is enough to ask to pay attention
to the series.

I can understand that is annoying, but preemptively pick the patch is
not adequate.

I apologize if my message was harsh or sounded rude. That was not my
intention.

I understand that patches soometimes got missed. That's life. This patch
here is quite simple, non-intrusive, got independent ack. Also in the
past SoC-specific drivers were sometimes going through SoC tree (so in
this case - mine for Samsung).  Patch also blocks the dependant DT
change (for entire cycle). Therefore I guessed that it won't be a
problem and it is just simpler to apply it.

If it is an issue, I can drop it and rebase my branch.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

I guess this should be enabled after adjusting the compatibles
in patch 2/4? If yes, then it will have to wait.

Indeed, this one and multi_v7 patch have to wait one cycle to avoid 
breaking Odroid XU3/XU4 board family.

Indeed, this one and multi_v7 patch have to wait one cycle to avoid 
breaking Odroid XU3/XU4 board family.

Thanks for this updates.

But I feel some DTS changes are missing for example
d2e5c871ed8a drivers: cpuidle: initialize big.LITTLE driver through DT

But I feel that this feature is not working as desired since
still some missing code changes for cluster idle states are missing.
like clock  PWR_CTR and PWR_CTRL2.

This is not strictly needed. The bl-cpuidle matches also to the A7/A15 
CPU product ids and it is properly instantiated on the Peach Pit/Pi 
Chromebooks. Those CPU DT properties were added as a future-proof 
generic solution. I won't hurt to add them though.

I cannot judge now. All I can test now is a that the boards enters those 
idle states and system works stable. I cannot measure power consumption, 
because currently I have only remote access to the boards.

I agree with Marek. This can be done incrementally. The series fixes the
code path which was working. After the investigation with a power
meter, a proper set of new patches might come if needed.

As a hint to measure this power consumption difference, because it
might be tricky, I would suggest to heat up the SoC. The main
difference between wfi and deeper idle which cut the power
to some components (like caches) should be seen at higher voltage
OPP and higher temperature. It's due to the fact that static power
(leakage) is related to Vdd and temperature -
higher voltage -> higher leakage
higher temp -> higher leakage
This difference (idle state 0 vs 1) should be amplified in the
above scenario and easier to measure.

I am going to review this series after finishing hotplug tests.

Lukasz

Ok, Thanks.

What I meant was in order to cpu cluster to enter into IDLE states,
it's controlled by the EXYNOS5422_PWR_CTRL and EXYNOS5422_PWR_CTRL2 clk fields
See below example from the Exynos5422 cpu idle driver.

[0] https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/blob/odroidxu3-3.10.y/arch/arm/mach-exynos/cpuidle-exynos5422.c#L319-L379

Just link Exynos5250 clk driver we need to Initialize PWR_CTRL and
PWR_CTRL2 for Exynos542x clocks

[1] https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/clk/samsung/clk-exynos5250.c#L828-L846

which will help support cpu idle drivers.

What I meant was in order to cpu cluster to enter into IDLE states,
it's controlled by the EXYNOS5422_PWR_CTRL and EXYNOS5422_PWR_CTRL2 clk fields
See below example from the Exynos5422 cpu idle driver.

Just link Exynos5250 clk driver we need to Initialize PWR_CTRL and
PWR_CTRL2 for Exynos542x clocks

which will help support cpu idle drivers.
