32 * Concepts and ideas behind the menu governor
33 *
34 * For the menu governor, there are 3 decision factors for picking a C
35 * state:
36 * 1) Energy break even point
37 * 2) Performance impact
38 * 3) Latency tolerance (from pmqos infrastructure)
39 * These these three factors are treated independently.
40 *
41 * Energy break even point
42 * -----------------------
43 * C state entry and exit have an energy cost, and a certain amount of time in
44 * the C state is required to actually break even on this cost. CPUIDLE
45 * provides us this duration in the "target_residency" field. So all that we
46 * need is a good prediction of how long we'll be idle. Like the traditional
47 * menu governor, we start with the actual known "next timer event" time.
48 *
49 * Since there are other source of wakeups (interrupts for example) than
50 * the next timer event, this estimation is rather optimistic. To get a
51 * more realistic estimate, a correction factor is applied to the estimate,
52 * that is based on historic behavior. For example, if in the past the actual
53 * duration always was 50% of the next timer tick, the correction factor will
54 * be 0.5.
55 *
56 * menu uses a running average for this correction factor, however it uses a
57 * set of factors, not just a single factor. This stems from the realization
58 * that the ratio is dependent on the order of magnitude of the expected
59 * duration; if we expect 500 milliseconds of idle time the likelihood of
60 * getting an interrupt very early is much higher than if we expect 50 micro
61 * seconds of idle time. A second independent factor that has big impact on
62 * the actual factor is if there is (disk) IO outstanding or not.
63 * (as a special twist, we consider every sleep longer than 50 milliseconds
64 * as perfect; there are no power gains for sleeping longer than this)
65 *
66 * For these two reasons we keep an array of 12 independent factors, that gets
67 * indexed based on the magnitude of the expected duration as well as the
68 * "is IO outstanding" property.
69 *

AV
70 * Repeatable-interval-detector
71 * ----------------------------
72 * There are some cases where "next timer" is a completely unusable predictor:
73 * Those cases where the interval is fixed, for example due to hardware
74 * interrupt mitigation, but also due to fixed transfer rate devices such as
75 * mice.
76 * For this, we use a different predictor: We track the duration of the last 8
77 * intervals and if the stand deviation of these 8 intervals is below a
78 * threshold value, we use the average of these intervals as prediction.
79 *
69d25870
AV
80 * Limiting Performance Impact
81 * ---------------------------
82 * C states, especially those with large exit latencies, can have a real
83 * noticable impact on workloads, which is not acceptable for most sysadmins,
84 * and in addition, less performance has a power price of its own.
85 *
86 * As a general rule of thumb, menu assumes that the following heuristic
87 * holds:
88 * The busier the system, the less impact of C states is acceptable
89 *
90 * This rule-of-thumb is implemented using a performance-multiplier:
91 * If the exit latency times the performance multiplier is longer than
92 * the predicted duration, the C state is not considered a candidate
93 * for selection due to a too high performance impact. So the higher
94 * this multiplier is, the longer we need to be idle to pick a deep C
95 * state, and thus the less likely a busy CPU will hit such a deep
96 * C state.
97 *
98 * Two factors are used in determing this multiplier:
99 * a value of 10 is added for each point of "per cpu load average" we have.
100 * a value of 5 points is added for each process that is waiting for
101 * IO on this CPU.
102 * (these values are experimentally determined)
103 *
104 * The load average factor gives a longer term (few seconds) input to the
105 * decision, while the iowait value gives a cpu local instantanious input.
106 * The iowait factor may look low, but realize that this is also already
107 * represented in the system load average.
