Saravana Kannan f8c87ae46a devfreq: Add CPUBW HW monitor governor
The CPUBW HW monitor devfreq governor uses the Krait L2 PM counters to
determine the bandwidth needed by the Krait CPU subsystem. This governor
can be used in conjunction with the CPUBW devfreq device to dynamically
scale the DDR frequency based on the demand/actual usage from the Krait CPU
subsystem. Since this governor uses the Krait L2 PM counters it can
conflict with certain profiling tools.

The Krait L2 performance monitor counters have the capability to count the
no. of read/write transactions going out the master ports. They also have
the capability to raise interrupts when they overflow. This driver uses
those counters to determine the true usage of DDR from the Krait processor
subsystem and then recommends CPU DDR BW votes based on the measured values
and the following tunable parameters.

The driver provides various tunables that allow it to be tuned more in
favor of power or performance:

- io_percent: The percentage of the CPU time that can be spent waiting on
  memory I/O. Lower value is better performance and worse power.

- sample_ms: The sampling period in milliseconds. This only affects the
  sampling period when DDR use is ramping down or is increasing very slowly
  (See tolerance_percent).

- tolerance_percent: The minimum increase in DDR use, compared to previous
  sample, that will trigger an IRQ to immediately bump up the bandwidth
  vote. It's expressed as a percentage of the previous sampled DDR use.

- decay_rate: The parameter controls the rate at which the history is
  forgotten when ramping down. This is expressed as a percentage of history
  to be forgotten.  So 100% means ignore history, 0% mean never forget the
  historical max. The default 90% means forget 90% of history each time.

- guard_band_mbps: This is a margin that's added to the measured BW (and
  hence also the Bus BW votes) that's present to account for the time it
  takes to ramp up the DDR BW while the CPU continues to use the DDR.

- bw_step: All BW votes are rounded up to multiples of bw_step. The default
  value is 200 MB/s that turns out to ~25 or 12.5 MHz based on the SoC. A
  smaller value would mean more frequent bus BW changes. A higher value
  would mean less frequent BW vote updates, but also means at times an
  unnecessarily higher BW vote (due to the rounding up).

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass script/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
    • tag the patch subject with UPSTREAM:.
    • add upstream commit information with a (cherry-picked from ...) line
    • Example:
      • if the upstream commit message is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

        Signed-off-by: Fred Jones <fred.jones@foo.org>
    - then Joe Smith would upload the patch for the common kernel as
        UPSTREAM: important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

        Signed-off-by: Fred Jones <fred.jones@foo.org>

        Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe.smith@foo.org>
  • If the patch requires any changes from the upstream version, tag the patch with BACKPORT: instead of UPSTREAM:.
    • use the same tags as UPSTREAM:
    • add comments about the changes under the (cherry-picked from ...) line
    • Example:
        BACKPORT: important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

Requirements for other backports: FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:,

  • If the patch has been merged into an upstream maintainer tree, but has not yet been merged into Linux mainline
    • tag the patch subject with FROMGIT:
    • add info on where the patch came from as (cherry picked from commit <sha1> <repo> <branch>). This must be a stable maintainer branch (not rebased, so don't use linux-next for example).
    • if changes were required, use BACKPORT: FROMGIT:
    • Example:
      • if the commit message in the maintainer tree is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

        Signed-off-by: Fred Jones <fred.jones@foo.org>
