[PATCH v3 0/3] Dynamic power model from device tree

[PATCH v3 0/3] Dynamic power model from device tree

[Punit Agrawal]

Hi,

This patchset adds support to build a single-coefficient dynamic power
model for a CPU. The model is used by the CPU cooling device to
provide an estimate of power consumption and also translate allocated
power to performance cap.

Patch 1 extends the CPU nodes binding to provide an optional dynamic
power coefficient which can be used to create a dynamic power model
for the CPUs. This model is used to constrain device power consumption
(using power_allocator governor) when the system is thermally
constrained.

Patches 2-3 extends the cpufreq-dt and arm_big_little driver to
register cpu cooling devices with the dynamic coefficient when
provided.

The patches were previously posted as part of [0][1]. Since the last
posting Mediatek platform 8173 is also building on these bindings to
build the power model.

Feedback on the bindings would be particularly appreciated.

Thanks,
Punit

[PATCH v3 1/3] devicetree: bindings: Add optional dynamic-power-coefficient property

[Punit Agrawal]

The dynamic power consumption of a device is proportional to the
square of voltage (V) and the clock frequency (f). It can be expressed as

Pdyn = dynamic-power-coefficient * V^2 * f.

The coefficient represents the running time dynamic power consumption in
units of mw/MHz/uVolt^2 and can be used in the above formula to
calculate the dynamic power in mW.

I have no issue with the binding, but I wonder if a single value is 
really sufficient to model this. Don't you also need a static component?

In general, power consumption does consist of the static and dynamic
power. Here we are only modelling the dynamic component.

For CPUs, we found that a single-coefficient model using frequency and
voltages gives a reasonable estimation of dynamic power consumption. For
thermal management, because of using closed loop control providing the
dynamic consumption is good enough as long as static power for your
platform is not significant.

On the other hand, there isn't a generally applicable model for static
power - it has complex relationships with temperature, voltages, etc
which make it hard to express as a simple formula. For platforms where
static power is significant, providing it via platform code is the only
option for now.

This patchset enables platforms where dynamic power works well to setup
their power model for thermal management via device tree.

[PATCH v3 3/3] cpufreq: arm_big_little: Add support to register a cpufreq cooling device

[Punit Agrawal]

Register passive cooling devices when initialising cpufreq on
big.LITTLE systems. If the device tree provides a dynamic power
coefficient for the CPUs then the bound cooling device will support
the extensions that allow it to be used with all the existing thermal
governors including the power allocator governor.

A cooling device will be created per individual frequency domain and
can be bound to thermal zones via the thermal DT bindings.

My first impression was that this is redundant and you could store the
pointer to cdev in driver_data itself.  But seeing that it's mirroring
the structure in cpufreq-dt and it's simpler to do it this way I guess
it's ok to create this struct with only one pointer.  You can add my

I think we need to be consistent within the driver, and so this must
be stored in a similar way to what we do for other structures. We have
static arrays for them, please do it that way only OR first change all
of them to be part of a bigger private_data structure.

Sure, I'll switch to using static arrays. There seem to be a lot of
assumptions that might be easily broken in moving all the data into a
single structure. I'll leave that as a later change.
