Introduce core voltage scaling for NVIDIA Tegra20/30 SoCs, which reduces
power consumption and heating of the Tegra chips. Tegra SoC has multiple
hardware units which belong to a core power domain of the SoC and share
the core voltage. The voltage must be selected in accordance to a minimum
requirement of every core hardware unit.

The minimum core voltage requirement depends on:

  1. Clock enable state of a hardware unit.
  2. Clock frequency.
  3. Unit's internal idling/active state.

This series is tested on Acer A500 (T20), AC100 (T20), Nexus 7 (T30) and
Ouya (T30) devices. I also added voltage scaling to the Ventana (T20) and
Cardhu (T30) boards which are tested by NVIDIA's CI farm. Tegra30 is now up
to 5C cooler on Nexus 7 and stays cool on Ouya (instead of becoming burning
hot) while system is idling. It should be possible to improve this further
by implementing a more advanced power management features for the kernel
drivers.

The DVFS support is opt-in for all boards, meaning that older DTBs will
continue to work like they did it before this series. It should be possible
to easily add the core voltage scaling support for Tegra114+ SoCs based on
this grounding work later on, if anyone will want to implement it.

WARNING(!) This series is made on top of the memory interconnect patches
           which are currently under review [1]. The Tegra EMC driver
           and devicetree-related patches need to be applied on top of
           the ICC series.

Just looked briefly through the series - it looks like there is a lot of
code duplication in *_init_opp_table() functions. Could this be made
more generic / data-driven?

I need some more time to review this, but just a quick check found a
few potential issues...

The "core-supply", that you specify as a regulator for each
controller's device node, is not the way we describe power domains.
Instead, it seems like you should register a power-domain provider
(with the help of genpd) and implement the ->set_performance_state()
callback for it. Each device node should then be hooked up to this
power-domain, rather than to a "core-supply". For DT bindings, please
have a look at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/power-domain.yaml
and Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/power_domain.txt.

In regards to the "sync state" problem (preventing to change
performance states until all consumers have been attached), this can
then be managed by the genpd provider driver instead.

Kind regards
Uffe

So you need to get an OPP table to put one :)
You need to save the pointer returned by dev_pm_opp_set_regulators() instead.

Nice. I didn't think that someone will end up abusing this API and so made it
available for all, but someone just did that. I will fix that in the OPP core.

Any idea why you are doing what you are doing here ?

Maybe I misunderstood your comment here, but there are two ways of
scaling the voltage of a device depending on if it is a regulator (and
can be modeled as one in the kernel) or a power domain.

In case of Qcom earlier (when we added the performance-state stuff),
the eventual hardware was out of kernel's control and we didn't wanted
(allowed) to model it as a virtual regulator just to pass the votes to
the RPM. And so we did what we did.

But if the hardware (where the voltage is required to be changed) is
indeed a regulator and is modeled as one, then what Dmitry has done
looks okay. i.e. add a supply in the device's node and microvolt
property in the DT entries.

I am not objecting about scaling the voltage through a regulator,
that's fine to me. However, encoding a power domain as a regulator
(even if it may seem like a regulator) isn't. Well, unless Mark Brown
has changed his mind about this.

In this case, it seems like the regulator supply belongs in the
description of the power domain provider.

I guess I haven't paid enough attention how power domain regulators
are being described then. I was under the impression that the CPUfreq
case was a bit specific - and we had legacy bindings to stick with.

Can you point me to some other existing examples of where power domain
regulators are specified as a regulator in each device's node?

Kind regards

Okay, I wasn't sure if it is a power domain or a regulator here. Btw,
how do we identify if it is a power domain or a regulator ?

No, I thought it is a regulator here and not a power domain.

Good question. It's not a crystal clear line in between them, I think.

A power domain to me, means that some part of a silicon (a group of
controllers or just a single piece, for example) needs some kind of
resource (typically a power rail) to be enabled to be functional, to
start with. If there are operating points involved, that's also a
clear indication to me, that it's not a regular regulator.

Maybe we should try to specify this more exactly in some
documentation, somewhere.

To be honest, I was a bit afraid and embarrassed to ask this question,
and was hoping people to make fun of me in return :)

Isn't this what a part of regulator does as well ? i.e.
enabling/disabling of the regulator or power to a group of
controllers.

Over that the regulator does voltage/current scaling as well, which
normally the power domains don't do (though we did that in
performance-state case).

Is there any example of that? I hope by OPP you meant both freq and
voltage here. I am not sure if I know of a case where a power domain
handles both of them.

> Maybe we should try to specify this more exactly in some
> documentation, somewhere.

I think yes, it is very much required. And in absence of that I think,
many (or most) of the platforms that also need to scale the voltage
would have modeled their hardware as a regulator and not a PM domain.

What I always thought was:

- Module that can just enable/disable power to a block of SoC is a
  power domain.

- Module that can enable/disable as well as scale voltage is a
  regulator.

And so I thought that this patchset has done the right thing. This
changed a bit with the qcom stuff where the IP to be configured was in
control of RPM and not Linux and so we couldn't add it as a regulator.
If it was controlled by Linux, it would have been a regulator in
kernel for sure :)

It may be both voltage and frequency - but in some cases only voltage.

Indeed, it should be possible to add a common helper. I had a quick
thought about doing it too, but then decided to defer for the starter
since there were some differences among the needs of the drivers. I'll
take a closer look for the v2, thanks!

This is intentional because why do we need to save the pointer if we're
not using it and we know that we could get this pointer using OPP API?
This is exactly the same what I did for the CPUFreq driver [1] :)

The dev_pm_opp_put_regulators() handles the case where regulator is
missing by acting as dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table(), but the
dev_pm_opp_set_regulators() doesn't do it. Hence I don't think this is
an abuse, but the OPP API drawback.

> Any idea why you are doing what you are doing here ?

Two reasons:

1. Voltage regulator is optional, but dev_pm_opp_set_regulators()
doesn't support optional regulators.

2. We need to balance the opp_table refcount in order to use OPP API
without polluting code with if(have_regulator), hence the
dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table() is needed for taking the opp_table reference
to have the same refcount as in the case of the dev_pm_opp_set_regulators().

I guess we could make dev_pm_opp_set_regulators(dev, count) to accept
regulators count=0 and then act as dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table(dev), will
it be acceptable?

I'll need to take a closer look at GENPD, thank you for the suggestion.

Sounds like a software GENPD driver which manages clocks and voltages
could be a good idea, but it also could be an unnecessary
over-engineering. Let's see..

Do you really want to use the same error unwinding for opp_table values 
obtained from dev_pm_opp_set_regulators() as from

Why log a second error message?  Just return err.

They both are pointing at the same opp_table, which is refcounted.

The dev_pm_opp_set_regulators() is dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table() + it sets
regulator for the table.

Because it is highly inefficient and it doesn't follow the rules set
by the OPP core. Hypothetically speaking, the OPP core is free to
allocate the OPP table structure as much as it wants, and if you don't
use the value returned back to you earlier (think of it as a cookie
assigned to your driver), then it will eventually lead to memory leak.

> This is exactly the same what I did for the CPUFreq driver [1] :)

I will strongly suggest you to save the pointer here and do the same
in the cpufreq driver as well.

To make it further clear, this will end up allocating an OPP table for
you, which it shouldn't have.

To be fair, I allowed the cpufreq-dt driver to abuse it too, which I
am going to fix shortly.

I am not sure what you meant here. Normally you are required to call
dev_pm_opp_put_regulators() only if you have called
dev_pm_opp_set_regulators() earlier. And the refcount stays in
balance.

I am going to send a patchset shortly after which this call to
dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table() will fail, if it is called before adding
the OPP table.

Setting regulators for count as 0 doesn't sound good to me.

But, I understand that you don't want to have that if (have_regulator)
check, and it is a fair request. What I will instead do is, allow all
dev_pm_opp_put*() API to start accepting a NULL pointer for the OPP
table and fail silently. And so you won't be required to have this
unwanted check. But you will be required to save the pointer returned
back by dev_pm_opp_set_regulators(), which is the right thing to do
anyways.

Perhaps even a better variant could be to add a devm versions of the OPP
API functions, then drivers won't need to care about storing the
opp_table pointer if it's unused by drivers.

I think so. The consumer may not be so concerned about the status of
these OPP tables.
If the driver needs to manage the release, it needs to add a pointer
to their driver global structure.

Maybe it's worth having these devm interfaces for opp.

Hello Ulf and all,

I took a detailed look at the GENPD and tried to implement it. Here is
what was found:

1. GENPD framework doesn't aggregate performance requests from the
attached devices. This means that if deviceA requests performance state
10 and then deviceB requests state 3, then framework will set domain's
state to 3 instead of 10.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.10-rc2/source/drivers/base/power/domain.c#L376

2. GENPD framework has a sync() callback in the genpd.domain structure,
but this callback isn't allowed to be used by the GENPD implementation.
The GENPD framework always overrides that callback for its own needs.
Hence GENPD doesn't allow to solve the bootstrapping
state-synchronization problem in a nice way.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.10-rc2/source/drivers/base/power/domain.c#L2606

3. Tegra doesn't have a dedicated hardware power-controller for the core
domain, instead there is only an external voltage regulator. Hence we
will need to create a phony device-tree node for the virtual power
domain, which is probably a wrong thing to do.

===

Perhaps it should be possible to create some hacks to work around
bullets 2 and 3 in order to achieve what we need for DVFS on Tegra, but
bullet 1 isn't solvable without changing how the GENPD core works.

Altogether, the GENPD in its current form is a wrong abstraction for a
system-wide DVFS in a case where multiple devices share power domain and
this domain is a voltage regulator. The regulator framework is the
correct abstraction in this case for today.

Thanks, I probably had a bug in the quick prototype and then overlooked
that function.

There was already attempt to add the devm? Could you please give me a
link to the patches?

I already prepared a patch which adds the devm helpers. It helps to keep
code cleaner and readable.

Thanks, I made it in a different way by simply adding helpers to the
pm_opp.h which use devm_add_action_or_reset(). This doesn't require to
add new kernel symbols.

static inline int devm_pm_opp_of_add_table(struct device *dev)
{
	int err;

	err = dev_pm_opp_of_add_table(dev);
	if (err)
		return err;

	err = devm_add_action_or_reset(dev, (void*)dev_pm_opp_remove_table,
				       dev);
	if (err)
		return err;

	return 0;
}

All current non-CPU drivers (devfreq, mmc, memory, etc) can benefit from it.

For Tegra drivers we need these variants:

devm_pm_opp_set_supported_hw()
devm_pm_opp_set_regulators() [if we won't use GENPD]
devm_pm_opp_set_clkname()
devm_pm_opp_of_add_table()

I tried to look earlier for the stuff already merged in and didn't
find a lot of stuff where the devm_* could be used, maybe I missed
some of it.

Frank, would you like to refresh your series based on suggestions from
Dmitry and make other drivers adapt to the new APIs ?

As Viresh also stated, genpd does aggregate the votes. It even
performs aggregation hierarchy (a genpd is allowed to have parent(s)
to model a topology).

That ->sync() callback isn't the callback you are looking for, it's a
PM domain specific callback - and has other purposes.

To solve the problem you refer to, your genpd provider driver (a
platform driver) should assign its ->sync_state() callback. The
->sync_state() callback will be invoked, when all consumer devices
have been attached (and probed) to their corresponding provider.

You may have a look at drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle-psci-domain.c, to see
an example of how this works. If there is anything unclear, just tell
me and I will try to help.

No, this is absolutely the correct thing to do.

This isn't a virtual power domain, it's a real power domain. You only
happen to model the control of it as a regulator, as it fits nicely
with that for *this* SoC. Don't get me wrong, that's fine as long as
the supply is specified only in the power-domain provider node.

On another SoC, you might have a different FW interface for the power
domain provider that doesn't fit well with the regulator. When that
happens, all you need to do is to implement a new power domain
provider and potentially re-define the power domain topology. More
importantly, you don't need to re-invent yet another slew of device
specific bindings - for each SoC.

Well, I admit it's a bit complex. But it solves the problem in a
nicely abstracted way that should work for everybody, at least in my
opinion.

Although, let's not exclude that there are pieces missing in genpd or
the opp layer, as this DVFS feature is rather new - but then we should
just extend/fix it.

As discussed in the thread for the cover-letter.

We already have DT bindings for power-domains (providers and
consumers). Please use them instead of adding SoC specific bindings to
each peripheral device.

I modeled the core PD as a parent of the PMC sub-domains, which
presumably is a correct way to represent the domains topology.

I had a thought about using PMC for the core domain, but not sure
whether it will be an entirely correct hardware description. Although,
it will be nice to have it this way.

This is what Tegra TRM says about PMC:

"The Power Management Controller (PMC) block interacts with an external
or Power Manager Unit (PMU). The PMC mostly controls the entry and exit
of the system from different sleep modes. It provides power-gating
controllers for SOC and CPU power-islands and also provides scratch
storage to save some of the context during sleep modes (when CPU and/or
SOC power rails are off). Additionally, PMC interacts with the external
Power Manager Unit (PMU)."

The core voltage regulator is a part of the PMU.

Not all core SoC devices are behind PMC, IIUC.

I'm not exactly sure what you're meaning by "use a regulator" and "we'd
be adding a node for that", could you please clarify? This v1 approach
uses a core-supply phandle (i.e. regulator is used), it doesn't require
extra nodes.

Thank you, I was also going to make the same change, but haven't
bothered to do it so far. Please feel free to CC me on the patch.

The RTC is actually a special power domain on Tegra, it's not a part of
the CORE domain, they are separate from each other.

We need to know what blocks belong to a power domain and what's the
power topology of these blocks. I think we already have this knowledge,
so it shouldn't be a problem.

Technically this could be done and it shouldn't be difficult to add
GENPD support to the regulator framework, but I think this is an
inaccurate hardware description.

It shouldn't be correct to describe internal SoC parts as
directly-connected to an external voltage regulator. The core voltage
regulator is connected to a one of several power rails of the Tegra
chip. There is no good way to describe hardware in terms of voltage
regulators, hence that's why this v1 series added a core-supply to each
SoC component of each board's DT individually.

It's actually one of the benefits of using a separate DT node for the
power-domain, which describes the "Tegra Core" part of the Tegra SoC,
and thus, it all stays within tegra.dtsi. This means that PD explicitly
belongs to the SoC internals in oppose to describing PD like it's an
external/off-chip component.

Initially I didn't like much that there is no hardware address to back
up the power domain node in a DT, but actually there is no address for
the power rail. Hence it should be better to describe hardware by
keeping PD internally to the SoC. Note that potentially PD may require
knowledge about specifics of a particular SoC, while external regulator
doesn't belong to a SoC. Also, I guess technically there could be
multiple external regulators which power a single SoC rail.

Hello Mark,

Could you please hold on this patch? It won't be needed in a v2, which
will use power domains.

Also, I'm not sure whether the "sound" tree is suitable for any of the
patches in this series.

It didn't actually get applied (note the "no commit info") - it looks
like b4's matching code got confused and decided to generate mails for
anything that I've ever downloaded and not posted.

Alright, thank you for the clarification.
