This macro should belong to an ARM only header.

Does the description reads as 'the time accounting is only performed
if en_core_tk_irqen is set'?
Also it suggests that changing (i.e. demoting) the state is kind of a
problem, which is unclear. IIUC the state change is handled correctly
in cpuidle_idle_call, is that correct?

The function name does not match the description (cpuidle_enter_wrap
vs cpuidle_wrap_enter).

Thanks, I was wondering about that but wasn't which location was better.

Correct.  I can make this clearer in the next version's comments.

If en_core_tk_irqen was a cpuidle state option instead of a cpuidle
driver option, then if the platform enter function changed the state
to one that used a different en_core_tk_irqen value, a time keeping
problem could occur.  Extra handling could be added, but for many SMP
systems, this case will be the most common case, and so I didn't think
it best to force this extra handling.  Anyways, with the current
implementation, if a platform cpuidle driver chooses not to use
en_core_tk_irqen, they can still use the consolidated time keeping
functionality by using the exported inline function (e.g., the OMAP
34XX case).

Any reason that this code is in the header?  Why not in cpuidle.c?

Hi Rob,

In a previous series I brought up the idea of not accounting for time
if a C-state transition fails.  My post on that thread can be found
here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/149293/

How do you feel about adding something like the following?

if (IS_ERR(index))
        dev->last_residency = 0;
        return index;

Obviously it will up to the platforms to figure out how to propagate
that error up from their respective low power code.

Regards,
Mike

Not a strong reason.  I thought making it an inline would introduce
slightly less new execution when adding this code (realizing that
there are function calls immediately after, so the only benefit is the
reduce popping and pushing).  But it does require an extra copy of
this code for any platform driver that does not enable
en_core_tk_irqen and instead makes calls to it directly (like omap3).
For this case, I don't think the inline implementation should add
extra code from what exists today as it should simply replace the
existing platform time keeping calls to a standard one defined by the
core cpuidle.

I don't have a strong preference with using the inline so if you or
others can give your opinion on which method to use and why, I'd be
glad to read it.

To be completely clear on what you're asking for, from
cpuidle_idle_call in drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle.c:

...
	target_state = &drv->states[next_state];

	trace_power_start(POWER_CSTATE, next_state, dev->cpu);
	trace_cpu_idle(next_state, dev->cpu);

	entered_state = target_state->enter(dev, drv, next_state);

	trace_power_end(dev->cpu);
	trace_cpu_idle(PWR_EVENT_EXIT, dev->cpu);

	if (entered_state >= 0) {
		/* Update cpuidle counters */
		/* This can be moved to within driver enter routine
		 * but that results in multiple copies of same code.
		 */
		dev->states_usage[entered_state].time +=
				(unsigned long long)dev->last_residency;
		dev->states_usage[entered_state].usage++;
	}
...

Note the "if (entered_state >= 0)".  This ultimately prevents the
cpuidle device time accounting upon an negative value being returned.
So are you asking for the if(IS_ERR(index)) check to prevent the
unnecessary last_residency time calculation in the wrapper, or to make
sure a last_residency is zero upon failure?  (or both?)

It seems like a bug (or lack or documentation at best) in the code
that exists today to not zero out dev->last_residency upon a negative
return value as this value is used by the governors upon the next
idle.  So to ensure last_residency is 0 upon failure, I think it'd be
best to add that to an new else statement immediately following the
"if (entered_state >=))" so that any platform cpuidle driver that
returns a negative will have the last_residency zeroed out, not just
those that use en_core_tk_irqen.

But you will have multiple copies of the inlined code if platforms do
use it. Or is it used only by the core cpuidle code? In that case, gcc
can automatically inline static functions.

It seems a bit long to inline and this isn't performance critical (at
least for the enter side).

Used by some platforms as well.

Ok.  Unless there are further comments supporting the inline method,
I'll switch to non-inline for next version.  Thanks Mike and Rob for
the feedback.

Hi Rob,

I didn't review the code carefully enough to catch the 'if
(entered_state >= 0)' part, but that seems like a graceful way to
solve this problem by appending the 'else' statement on there and
seeting last_residency to zero.

I brought this topic up internally and Jon suggested that the 'usage'
statistics that are reported in sysfs should also reflect failed
versus successful C-state transitions, which is a great idea.  This
could simply be achieved by renaming the current 'usage' count to
something like 'transitions_attempted' and then conditionally
increment a new counter within the 'if (entered_state >= 0)' block,
perhaps named, 'transition_succeeded'.

This way the old 'usage' count paradigm is as accurate as the new
time-keeping code.  Being able to easily observe which C-state tend to
fail the most would be invaluable in tuning idle policy for maximum
effectiveness.

Thoughts?

Regards,
Mike

Sounds reasonable.  In some cases it may be helpful to track state
demotion as well.  Since I'm still a noob and wearing my submission
training wheels, I'm trying to minimize things that fall outside of
this basic consolidation effort for this patch series.  But I added
Jon's suggestion to this cpuidle page which contains future cpuidle
items to consider adding:

Yeah, I don't want to feature-bloat your submission more than
necessary.  I'm happy for the usage counter stuff to get tackled at a
later date, but you're still on board for setting last_residency to
zero in this series, right?
