Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle: mvebu: Fix the CPU PM notifier usage
|
||||
|
||||
As stated in kernel/cpu_pm.c, "Platform is responsible for ensuring
|
||||
that cpu_pm_enter is not called twice on the same CPU before
|
||||
cpu_pm_exit is called.". In the current code in case of failure when
|
||||
calling mvebu_v7_cpu_suspend, the function cpu_pm_exit() is never
|
||||
called whereas cpu_pm_enter() was called just before.
|
||||
|
||||
This patch moves the cpu_pm_exit() in order to balance the
|
||||
cpu_pm_enter() calls.

Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle: mvebu: Update cpuidle thresholds for Armada XP SOCs
|
||||
|
||||
Originally, the thresholds used in the cpuidle driver for Armada SOCs
|
||||
were temporarily chosen, leaving room for improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
This commit updates the thresholds for the Armada XP SOCs with values
|
||||
that positively impact performances:
|
||||
|
||||
without patch with patch vendor kernel
|
||||
- iperf localhost (gbit/sec) ~3.7 ~6.4 ~5.4
|
||||
- ioping tmpfs (iops) ~163k ~206k ~179k
|
||||
- ioping tmpfs (mib/s) ~636 ~805 ~699
|
||||
|
||||
The idle power consumption is negatively impacted (proportionally less
|
||||
than the performance gain), and we are still performing better than
|
||||
the vendor kernel here:
|
||||
|
||||
without patch with patch vendor kernel
|
||||
- power consumption idle (W) ~2.4 ~3.2 ~4.4
|
||||
- power consumption busy (W) ~8.6 ~8.3 ~8.6
|
||||
|
||||
There is still room for improvement regarding the value of these
|
||||
thresholds, they were chosen to mimic the vendor kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
This patch only impacts Armada XP SOCs and was tested on Online Labs
|
||||
C1 boards. A similar approach can be taken to improve the performances
|
||||
of the Armada 370 and Armada 38x SOCs.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks a lot to Thomas Petazzoni, Gregory Clement and Willy Tarreau
|
||||
for the discussions and tips around this topic.
