cpufreq: CPPC: Register EM based on efficiency class information
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Performance states and energy consumption values are not advertised
in ACPI. In the GicC structure of the MADT table, the "Processor
Power Efficiency Class field" (called efficiency class from now)
allows to describe the relative energy efficiency of CPUs.

To leverage the EM and EAS, the CPPC driver creates a set of
artificial performance states and registers them in the Energy Model
(EM), such as:
- Every 20 capacity unit, a performance state is created.
- The energy cost of each performance state gradually increases.
No power value is generated as only the cost is used in the EM.

During task placement, a task can raise the frequency of its whole
pd. This can make EAS place a task on a pd with CPUs that are
individually less energy efficient.
As cost values are artificial, and to place tasks on CPUs with the
lower efficiency class, a gap in cost values is generated for adjacent
efficiency classes.
E.g.:
- efficiency class = 0, capacity is in [0-1024], so cost values
  are in [0: 51] (one performance state every 20 capacity unit)
- efficiency class = 1, capacity is in [0-1024], cost values
  are in [1*gap+0: 1*gap+51].

The value of the cost gap is chosen to absorb a the energy of 4 CPUs
at their maximum capacity. This means that between:
1- a pd of 4 CPUs, each of them being used at almost their full
   capacity. Their efficiency class is N.
2- a CPU using almost none of its capacity. Its efficiency class is
   N+1
EAS will choose the first option.

This patch also populates the (struct cpufreq_driver).register_em
callback if the valid efficiency_class ACPI values are provided.
