If sleep states (including suspend to RAM and CPU off) are factored in to cpuidle then it's very easy to get in to situations where everything simply shuts off automatically, which can be problematic if a platform doesn't expose any external wakeup sources. Platforms still need to be able to establish some heuristics, whether this is via blocking certain state transitions or simply defining a maximum acceptable suspend depth irrespective of latency (at least we presently don't have a clean interface for preventing entry in to impossible to recover from idle states outside of latency hints via PM QoS, or at least not one that I'm aware of). On the other hand, while this isn't that difficult for the UP case it does pose more problems for the SMP case. Presently the suspend paths (suspend-to-RAM/hibernate/kexec jump) all deal with disabling and enabling of non-boot CPUs via CPU hotplug explicitly, which will clear them from the online CPU map. We would have to rework the semantics a bit if cpuidle were also permitted to opportunistically offline CPUs. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

for a pm_qos class that has boolean dynamic range we can get away with not walking the list on every request update. we can use a counter, and the list will be for mostly for stats. > Kernel Wake lock

I bet it was a big effort to get these right too. FWIW I don't think most of these will map into the moorestown port of android I'm working on. This is why I really think a low power event framework would be cleaner but, lets make everyone happy and expand pm_qos into a wake lock re-implementation first. --mgross -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Some upcoming ARM v7 architecture SMP SoCs we're seeing will support full independent clock scaling and power gating for the individual cores -- if there's not enough work to keep the 2nd (or nth) cpu busy, there would be good power savings to be had shutting it down. I haven't poked around too much with how things work in SMP environments -- are there per-cpu idle threads?

That way if you only have two constraints values the list you have to walk when updating a request will never have more than two entries regardless of how many total request you have. A request update then becomes something like this: if on primary list { unlink from primary list if secondary list is not empty get next secondary entry and add in same spot on primary list } unlink from secondary list find new spot on primary list if already there add to secondary list else add to primary list -- Arve Hj�nnev�g -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ |
