It will allow to better reflect power model of a recent SoCs and silicon. Different characteristics of the power usage can be leveraged and thus better decisions made during task placement in EAS. It also optimizes the EAS code hot path, by removing 2 division and 1 multiplication operations in the em_cpu_energy(). Speed-up results: the em_cpu_energy() should run faster on the Big CPU by 1.43x and on the Little CPU by 1.69x (mainline board RockPi 4B). This patch set is part of feature set known as Dynamic Energy Model. It has been presented and discussed recently at OSPM2023 [3]. The concepts: 1. The CPU power usage can vary due to the workload that it's running or due to the temperature of the SoC. The same workload can use more power when the temperature of the silicon has increased (e.g. due to hot GPU or ISP). In such situation the EM can be adjusted and reflect the fact of increased power usage. That power increase is due to static power (sometimes called simply: leakage). The CPUs in recent SoCs are different. We have heterogeneous SoCs with 3 (or even 4) different microarchitectures. They are also built differently with High Performance (HP) cells or Low Power (LP) cells. They are affected by the temperature increase differently: HP cells have bigger leakage. The SW model can leverage that knowledge. 2. It is also possible to change the EM to better reflect the currently running workload. Usually the EM is derived from some average power values taken from experiments with benchmark (e.g. Dhrystone). The model derived from such scenario might not represent properly the workloads usually running on the device. Therefore, runtime modification of the EM allows to switch to a different model, when there is a need. 3. The EM can be adjusted after boot, when all the modules are loaded and more information about the SoC is available e.g. chip binning. This would help to better reflect the silicon characteristics. Thus, this EM modification API allows it now. It wasn't possible in the past and the EM had to be 'set in stone'. Example of such runtime modification after boot can be found in a follow-up patch set. It adds the OPP API and usage in Exynos5 SoC driver after the voltage values has been adjusted and power changes [5]. More detailed explanation and background can be found in presentations during LPC2022 [1][2] or in the documentation patches. Some test results: The EM can be updated to fit better the workload type. In the case below the EM has been updated for the Jankbench test on Pixel6 (running v5.18 w/ mainline backports for the scheduler bits). The Jankbench was run 10 times for those two configurations, to get more reliable data. 1.
