thermal: cpufreq_cooling: Improve power estimation based on Active St…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…ats framework

The cpufreq_cooling has dedicated APIs for thermal governor called
Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA). IPA needs the CPUs power used by the
devices in the past.  Based on this, IPA tries to estimate the power
budget, allocate new budget and split it across cooling devices for the
next period (keeping the system in the thermal envelope).  When the input
power estimated value has big error, the whole mechanism does not work
properly. The current power estimation assumes constant frequency during
the whole IPA period (e.g. 100ms). This can cause big error in the power
estimation, especially when SchedUtil governor is used and frequency is
often adjusted to the current need. This can be visible in periodic
workloads, when the frequency oscillates between two OPPs and IPA samples
the lower frequency.

This patch introduces a new mechanism which solves this frequency
sampling problem. It uses Active Stats framework to track and account
the CPU power used for a given IPA period.
