[PATCH V2 0/2] cpufreq: Use sorted frequency tables

[Viresh Kumar]

Hi Guys,

This work in inspired by some of the concerns raised by Steve in one of
his patchset.

Currently, the cpufreq drivers aren't required to provide a sorted list
of frequencies to the cpufreq-core and so traversing that list match a
target frequency is very inefficient.

This is not bearable by, for example, the fast-switch path of schedutil
governor and so we have moved the traversing logic local to the
acpi-cpufreq driver for now. That is better handled in the core, but it
has to be efficient first.

OTOH, even for traditional governors without a fast-switch path, it
would be much better to be able to traverse this table quickly.

The ideal solution would be to keep a single *sorted* freq-table in
struct cpufreq_policy. But there are few dependencies due to which it
can't be done today (Hint: cpufreq drivers are abusing the 'index'
passed to them, to refer to multiple arrays).

And so for now, lets create a separate table local to the cpufreq-core
*only*.

This modifies the existing API cpufreq_frequency_table_target() to use
the sorted table.

Lightly tested on Exynos board, frequencies were getting selected as
expected.

V1->V2:
- This optimizes cpufreq_frequency_table_target() instead of new APIs.
- Is rebased over bleeding-edge + following cleanup series.

[PATCH V2 1/2] cpufreq: Store sorted frequency table

[Viresh Kumar]

The drivers aren't required to provide a sorted frequency table today,
and its not optimal to work on an unsorted freq table.

To simplify and improve code performance, create a frequency table
within core and keep it sorted in ascending order.

Note that this should eventually replace policy->freq_table itself,
which isn't done currently as few drivers will break due to that.

[PATCH V2 2/2] cpufreq: Optimize cpufreq_frequency_table_target()

[Viresh Kumar]

cpufreq core keeps another table of sorted frequencies now and that can
be used to find a match quickly, instead of traversing the unsorted list
in an inefficient way.

Create helper routines for separate relation types to optimize it
further.

Ideally the new routine cpufreq_find_target_index() is required to be
exported, but s3c24xx was abusing the earlier API and have to be
supported for now. Added a FIXME for it.

Tested on Exynos board with both ondemand and schedutil governor and
confirmed with help of various print messages that we are eventually
switching to the desired frequency based on a target frequency.

This adds a function call to the fast path...

I understand that, but I am not sure how far should we go to avoid
that. Open coding routines to save on that isn't a good idea surely.

I have at least kept this routine in cpufreq.h to avoid a call, but
eventually we will have at least a call somewhere within it. :(

Shouldn't we be able to avoid extra function calls through the use of
macros/inlines? Otherwise this is making things slower for schedutil
than it is today. 

Actually cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() shouldn't require any calls from
schedutil when a freq_table is available - the whole thing could be run
inline.

I will see what I can do on that. Thanks.
