[RFC 0/4] ARM: topology: set the capacity of each cores for big.LITTLE

[Vincent Guittot]

This patchset creates an arch_scale_freq_power function for ARM, which is used 
to set the relative capacity of each core of a big.LITTLE system.

The end of the comment is unclear IMO; Can you give more details on
the relation between cpu_power and nohz_idle_balance?

When several cores are idle, one core runs the load balance for all
idle cores. The update of the cpu_power can be done during rebalance
and arch_scale_freq_power can be called by CPU0 for updating the
cpu_power of CPU1.

I was probably not clear enough in my first explanation. I will reword
the comment

Vincent

You know what.. we should make checkpatch report an error for memory
barriers that don't have a comment. 

I know this isn't added by this patch, but every time I see something
like it I cry a little.

Actually if it was a new line, it would have been reported, at least in
theory:

    # check for memory barriers without a comment.
		    if ($line =~
    /\b(mb|rmb|wmb|read_barrier_depends|smp_mb|smp_rmb|smp_wmb|smp_read_barrier_depends)\(/)
    {
	if (!ctx_has_comment($first_line, $linenr)) {
	    CHK("MEMORY_BARRIER",
		"memory barrier without comment\n" . $herecurr);
	}
    }

Maybe promote that CHK to a WARN.

Oh sweet, we already have something for that.. But yeah I'd promote that
CHK to something stronger like Joe said. Maybe even error. Memory
barriers are magic, not adding proper comments should be a capital
offense. 

[RFC 2/4] ARM: topology: factorize the update of sibling masks

[Vincent Guittot]

The factorization has also be proposed in another patch that is not merge yet.
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-January/080873.html
So it could be dropped depending of the state of the other patch.

How are those results measured or computed? Is this purely related to
the number crunching performance?

Also more generally what if the cores frequencies are changing?

These values are based on ARM's figures which say that Cortex-A15 is
1,9 faster than Cortex-A7 at same frequency. So the inputs are ARM's
figures. Then, the absolute values are arbitrary with the constraint
of being large enough for precision and small enough to make the
computation in an unsigned long

Up to now, the scheduler takes into account the maximum capacity of a
core when it checks the load balance of the system.

Jean,

Various discussions around power-aware scheduling have amplified the
need for the scheduler to have some knowledge of DVFS. This would then
require the scheduler to track 'cpu_power' ( = max power) and perhaps
a new variable 'current_power' that is changed by the DVFS framework.

The first goal, though, is to make sure that the scheduler can handle
different cpu_power values due to asymmetric cores.

Note that capacity is in fact a better term -- not to be confused with
the capacity as currently in use within the load-balancer. Luckily
there's no way to read that an not be confused.. uhmm :-)

I would think the very first goal was to do a simple packing balancer
before doing silly things with asymmetric setups.. but what do I know.

In fact, there is 2 tracks, one for a power aware scheduler and one
for setting the capacity of each core of a big.LITTLE system. This
patch is for the latter and is not directly link to the power because
the default/performance mode of the scheduler should also take
advantage of this information

Fair enough.. can you include a little blurp in the changelog on how
this affects the capacity stuff for big.little and if that works as
desired due to these patches?

OK, I will add explanations about how this affect the cpu_power field
and the load balance of a big.LITTLE system, what is enhanced with
this modification and what is not.

I know ARM isn't likely to suffer from the 4k cpu issue, but is there a
reason to use a NR_CPUS array over a per-cpu variable?

At this stage, we don't know which logical CPU will match which hwid.
During the boot of each CPU, we parse the table to found an efficiency
value for the booting CPU. The whole table is used by one CPU at a
time.

Its not so much the usage as the dynamic sizing that I was after.
NR_CPUS will always be the max size, whereas per-cpu data will only use
the amount of storage required to back the number of cpus present.

For this reason we've spend a great deal of effort to remove NR_CPUS
sized arrays all over the core (and x86/ia64 arch) code, since distros
now build with NR_CPUS=4096 but hardly anybody has that many cpus, so
arrays sized that way waste tons of resources.

Indeed!  We must corner Grant to do a s/CONFIG_OF/CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE/
on the whole tree and send the patch to Linus.  He just managed to 
chicken away from doing it so far.

Can you provide a little description in the form of a code comment near
update_cpu_power() as to wtf all that does? This OF nonsense is

I think I've pointed out before that this breaks x86.. you need a patch

In v3.4, x86 hasn't got any specific declaration for
arch_scale_freq_power so it would now use the weak
arch_scale_freq_power which calls default_scale_freq_power. Isn't it
enough ?

Subject: sched, x86: Remove broken power estimation
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
Date: Wed Jun 13 15:24:45 CEST 2012

The x86 sched power implementation has been broken forever and gets in
the way of other stuff, remove it.

For archaeological interest, fixing this code would require dealing with
the cross-cpu calling of these functions and more importantly, we need
to filter idle time out of the a/m-perf stuff because the ratio will go
down to 0 when idle, giving a 0 capacity which is not what we'd want.
