28 * Concepts and ideas behind the menu governor
30 * For the menu governor, there are 3 decision factors for picking a C
32 * 1) Energy break even point
33 * 2) Performance impact
34 * 3) Latency tolerance (from pmqos infrastructure)
35 * These these three factors are treated independently.
37 * Energy break even point
38 * -----------------------
39 * C state entry and exit have an energy cost, and a certain amount of time in
40 * the C state is required to actually break even on this cost. CPUIDLE
41 * provides us this duration in the "target_residency" field. So all that we
42 * need is a good prediction of how long we'll be idle. Like the traditional
43 * menu governor, we start with the actual known "next timer event" time.
45 * Since there are other source of wakeups (interrupts for example) than
46 * the next timer event, this estimation is rather optimistic. To get a
47 * more realistic estimate, a correction factor is applied to the estimate,
48 * that is based on historic behavior. For example, if in the past the actual
49 * duration always was 50% of the next timer tick, the correction factor will
52 * menu uses a running average for this correction factor, however it uses a
53 * set of factors, not just a single factor. This stems from the realization
54 * that the ratio is dependent on the order of magnitude of the expected
55 * duration; if we expect 500 milliseconds of idle time the likelihood of
56 * getting an interrupt very early is much higher than if we expect 50 micro
57 * seconds of idle time. A second independent factor that has big impact on
58 * the actual factor is if there is (disk) IO outstanding or not.
59 * (as a special twist, we consider every sleep longer than 50 milliseconds
60 * as perfect; there are no power gains for sleeping longer than this)
62 * For these two reasons we keep an array of 12 independent factors, that gets
63 * indexed based on the magnitude of the expected duration as well as the
64 * "is IO outstanding" property.
66 * Limiting Performance Impact
67 * ---------------------------
68 * C states, especially those with large exit latencies, can have a real
69 * noticable impact on workloads, which is not acceptable for most sysadmins,
70 * and in addition, less performance has a power price of its own.
72 * As a general rule of thumb, menu assumes that the following heuristic
74 * The busier the system, the less impact of C states is acceptable
76 * This rule-of-thumb is implemented using a performance-multiplier:
77 * If the exit latency times the performance multiplier is longer than
78 * the predicted duration, the C state is not considered a candidate
79 * for selection due to a too high performance impact. So the higher
80 * this multiplier is, the longer we need to be idle to pick a deep C
81 * state, and thus the less likely a busy CPU will hit such a deep
84 * Two factors are used in determing this multiplier:
85 * a value of 10 is added for each point of "per cpu load average" we have.
86 * a value of 5 points is added for each process that is waiting for
88 * (these values are experimentally determined)
90 * The load average factor gives a longer term (few seconds) input to the
91 * decision, while the iowait value gives a cpu local instantanious input.
92 * The iowait factor may look low, but realize that this is also already
93 * represented in the system load average.
