44 * Concepts and ideas behind the menu governor
46 * For the menu governor, there are 3 decision factors for picking a C
47 * state:
48 * 1) Energy break even point
49 * 2) Performance impact
50 * 3) Latency tolerance (from pmqos infrastructure)
51 * These these three factors are treated independently.
53 * Energy break even point
54 * -----------------------
55 * C state entry and exit have an energy cost, and a certain amount of time in
56 * the C state is required to actually break even on this cost. CPUIDLE
57 * provides us this duration in the "target_residency" field. So all that we
58 * need is a good prediction of how long we'll be idle. Like the traditional
59 * menu governor, we start with the actual known "next timer event" time.
61 * Since there are other source of wakeups (interrupts for example) than
62 * the next timer event, this estimation is rather optimistic. To get a
63 * more realistic estimate, a correction factor is applied to the estimate,
64 * that is based on historic behavior. For example, if in the past the actual
65 * duration always was 50% of the next timer tick, the correction factor will
66 * be 0.5.
68 * menu uses a running average for this correction factor, however it uses a
69 * set of factors, not just a single factor. This stems from the realization
70 * that the ratio is dependent on the order of magnitude of the expected
71 * duration; if we expect 500 milliseconds of idle time the likelihood of
72 * getting an interrupt very early is much higher than if we expect 50 micro
73 * seconds of idle time. A second independent factor that has big impact on
74 * the actual factor is if there is (disk) IO outstanding or not.
75 * (as a special twist, we consider every sleep longer than 50 milliseconds
76 * as perfect; there are no power gains for sleeping longer than this)
78 * For these two reasons we keep an array of 12 independent factors, that gets
79 * indexed based on the magnitude of the expected duration as well as the
80 * "is IO outstanding" property.
82 * Repeatable-interval-detector
83 * ----------------------------
84 * There are some cases where "next timer" is a completely unusable predictor:
85 * Those cases where the interval is fixed, for example due to hardware
86 * interrupt mitigation, but also due to fixed transfer rate devices such as
87 * mice.
88 * For this, we use a different predictor: We track the duration of the last 8
89 * intervals and if the stand deviation of these 8 intervals is below a
90 * threshold value, we use the average of these intervals as prediction.
92 * Limiting Performance Impact
93 * ---------------------------
94 * C states, especially those with large exit latencies, can have a real
95 * noticeable impact on workloads, which is not acceptable for most sysadmins,
96 * and in addition, less performance has a power price of its own.
98 * As a general rule of thumb, menu assumes that the following heuristic
99 * holds:
100 * The busier the system, the less impact of C states is acceptable
102 * This rule-of-thumb is implemented using a performance-multiplier:
103 * If the exit latency times the performance multiplier is longer than
104 * the predicted duration, the C state is not considered a candidate
105 * for selection due to a too high performance impact. So the higher
106 * this multiplier is, the longer we need to be idle to pick a deep C
107 * state, and thus the less likely a busy CPU will hit such a deep
108 * C state.
110 * Two factors are used in determing this multiplier:
111 * a value of 10 is added for each point of "per cpu load average" we have.
112 * a value of 5 points is added for each process that is waiting for
113 * IO on this CPU.
114 * (these values are experimentally determined)
116 * The load average factor gives a longer term (few seconds) input to the
117 * decision, while the iowait value gives a cpu local instantanious input.
118 * The iowait factor may look low, but realize that this is also already
119 * represented in the system load average.
