Subject: [RFC v2 0/6] Managing cluser-level c-states with generic power domains

1) DESCRIPTION


	This patch set's underlying idea is that cluster-level c-states can be managed
by the power domain, building upon Lina Iyers recent work on CPU-domain, and Axel Haslam's
genpd multiple states. The power domain may contain CPU devices and non-CPU devices.

Non-CPU Devices may expose latency constraints by registering intermediate power-states upon
probing, for instance shallower states than the deepest cluster-off state. The generic
power domain governor may chose a device retention state in place of the cluster-sleep
state demanded by the menu governor, and call the platform specific handling to enter/leave
that retention state.


power-states
-----------


The proposed way how cluster-level c-states are declared as manageable by the
power domain, rather than through the cpuidle-ops, relies on the introduction of
"power-states", consistent with c-states. Here is an example of the DT bindings,
the c-state CLUSTER_SLEEP_0 is exposed as a power-state in the compatible property:

juno.dts:           idle-states {
                        entry-method = "arm,psci";

                        CPU_SLEEP_0: cpu-sleep-0 {
                                compatible = "arm,idle-state";
                                arm,psci-suspend-param = <0x0010000>;
                                local-timer-stop;
                                entry-latency-us = <100>;
                                exit-latency-us = <250>;
                                min-residency-us = <2000>;
                        };

                        CLUSTER_SLEEP_0: cluster-sleep-0 {
                                compatible = "arm,power-state";
                                arm,psci-suspend-param = <0x1010000>;
                                local-timer-stop;
                                entry-latency-us = <800>;
                                exit-latency-us = <700>;
                                min-residency-us = <2500>;
                        };
		}

This will tell cpuidle runtime_put/get the CPU devices for this c-state. Eventually, the
actual platform handlers may be called from the genpd platform ops (in place of cpuidle_ops).

"drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle-arm.c":

static const struct of_device_id arm_idle_state_match[] __initconst = {
        {.compatible = "arm,idle-state",
         .data = arm_enter_idle_state},
        {.compatible = "arm,power-state",
         .data = arm_enter_power_state},
};


In case of a power-state, arm_enter_power_state will only call pm_runtime_put/get_sync
The power doamin will handle the power off, currently this patch set lacks the final
call to the psci interface to have a fully fonctionnal setup
(and there are some genpd_lock'ing issues if put/get actually suspend the CPU device.)

Ultimately, we would like the Power Domain's simple governor to being able to chose
the cluster power-state based on the c-states defered to it (power-states) and constraints
added by the devices. Consequently, we need to "soak" those power-states into the
power-domain intermediate states from Axel. Since power-states are declared and handled
the same manner than c-states (idle-states in DT), these patches add a soaking used when
attaching to a genpd, where power-states are parsed from the DT into the genpd states:


"drivers/base/power/domain.c":

static const struct of_device_id power_state_match[] = {
        {.compatible = "arm,power-state",
         },
};

int of_genpd_device_parse_states(struct device_node *np,
                                 struct generic_pm_domain *genpd)

debugfs addition
---------------

To easy debug, this patch set adds a seq-file names "states" to the pm_genpd debugfs:

    cat /sys/kernel/debug/pm_genpd/*

      Domain             State name        Enter (ns) / Exit (ns)
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    a53_pd               cluster-sleep-0      1500000 / 800000
    a57_pd               cluster-sleep-0      1500000 / 800000

And also a seq-file "timings", to help visualize the constrains of the non-CPU
devices in a cluster PD.

    Domain Devices, Timings in ns
                       Stop/Start Save/Restore, Effective
----------------------------------------------------  ---
a57_pd
    /cpus/cpu@0          800   /740    1320  /1720  ,0 (cached stop)
    /cpus/cpu@1          800   /740    1420  /1780  ,0 (cached stop)
    /D1                  660   /580    16560 /6080  ,2199420 (cached stop)


Device power-states
-------------------

some devices, like L2 caches, may feature a shallower retention mode, between CPU_SLEEP_0
and CLUSTER_SLEEP_0, in which mode the L2 memory is not powered off, leading to faster
resume than CLUSTER_SLEEP_0.

One way to handle device constrains and retention features in the power-domain, is to
allow devices to register a new power-state (consistent with a c-state).

idle-states:

                        D1_RETENTION: d1-retention {
                                compatible = "arm,power-state";
                                /*leave the psci param, for demo/testing:
                                * the psci cpuidle driver will not currently
                                * understand that a c-state shall not have it's
                                * table entry with a firmware command.
                                * the actual .power_on/off would be registered
                                * by the DECLARE macro for a given domain*/
                                arm,psci-suspend-param = <0x1010000>;
                                local-timer-stop;
                                entry-latency-us = <800>;
                                exit-latency-us = <200>;
                                min-residency-us = <2500>;
                        };


        D1 {
                compatible = "fake,fake-driver";
                name = "D1";
                constraint = <30000>;
                power-domains = <&a53_pd>;
		power-states =<&D1_RETENTION>;
        };


The genpd simple governor can now upon suspend of the last-man CPU chose a shallower
retention state than CLUSTER_SLEEP_0.

In order to achieve this, this patch set added the power-state parsing during the
genpd_dev_pm_attach call. Multiple genpd states are now inserted in a sorted manner
according to their depth: see pm_genpd_insert_state in "drivers/base/power/domain.c".
