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. 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 or EM can be adjusted and reflect the fact of increased power usage. That power increase is due to a factor called 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'. Some design details: The internal mechanisms for the memory allocation are handled internally in the EM. Kernel modules can just call the new API to update the EM data and the new memory would be provided and owned by the EM. The EM memory is used by EAS, which impacts those design decisions. The EM writers are protected by a mutex. This new runtime modified EM table is protected using RCU mechanism, which fits the current EAS hot path (which already uses RCU read lock). The unregister API handles only non-CPU (e.g. GPU, ISP) devices and uses the same mutex as EM modifiers to make sure the memory is safely freed. More detailed explanation and background can be found in presentations during LPC2022 [1][2] or in the documentation patches.
