Subject: Re: [linux-sunxi] [PATCH 1/5] clk: sunxi-ng: prevent NKMP clocks
from temporarily get higher freq
Hi Icenowy,
I already tried this approach to changing CPUX_PLL and it didn't work
well. I've written a test program for CPUS (additional RISC-V processor
on H3 SoC) for testing various NKMP clock change algorithms, by
randomly changing the PLL frequency. Everything except simply not using
dividers except for P for frequencies < 288MHz just led to crashes of
the main CPU.
It is really hard to rule out crashes just by using the kernel itself,
because it is hard to hit the wrong change in the combination of NKMP
clock factors.
Here's the code for CPUS test program: https://github.com/megous/h3-fir
mware
Your approach is similar to this (increase dividers if necessary, wait
a bit, then change multipliers, wait a bit, and then decrease dividers
if necessary) - which is the approach taken by Allwinner in their code:
https://github.com/megous/h3-firmware/blob/master/clk.c#L683
It sometimes works when done in the kernel, but it is not stable. You
might get a crash only if thermal throttling causes a specific
transition between two particular frequencies. It's hard and tedious to
reproduce. That's why I have written the test program. In the CPUS test
program it crashes the main CPU predictably in about 2 seconds.
You can try it yourself with your exact algorithm. I guess it will be
crashing too.
regards,
o.j.
