Hello,
CPPC cpufreq driver is used for ARM servers and this patch series tries to provide counter-based frequency invariance support for them in the absence for architecture specific counters (like AMUs).
This is tested by: - /me with some hacks on Hikey, as I didn't have access to the right hardware.
- Vincent Guittot on ThunderX2, only initial testing done so far.
- Ionela Voinescu on Juno R2, though she tested the previous version of this.
This is based of Linus's current master (so we will able to apply this on 5.12-rc1).
Changes since V3: - rebuild_sched_domains_energy() stuff moved from arm64 to drivers/base. - Added Reviewed/Tested-by Ionela for the first patch. - Remove unused max_freq field from structure in cppc driver. - s/cppc_f_i/cppc_freq_inv. - Fix an per-cpu access, there was a bug in earlier version. - Create a single kthread which can run on any CPU and takes care of work from all the CPUs. - Do the whole FIE thing under a new CONFIG option for cppc driver. - Few minor improvements.
Changes since V2: - Not sending as an RFC anymore. - Several renames, reordering of code in 1/2 based on Ionela's comments. - Several rebase changes for 2/2. - The freq_scale calculations are optimized a bit. - Better overall commenting and commit logs.
Changes since V1: - The interface for setting the callbacks is improved, so different parts looking to provide their callbacks don't need to think about each other.
- Moved to per-cpu storage for storing the callback related data, AMU counters have higher priority with this.
