40  * Concepts and ideas behind the menu governor
41  *
42  * For the menu governor, there are 3 decision factors for picking a C
43  * state:
44  * 1) Energy break even point
45  * 2) Performance impact
46  * 3) Latency tolerance (from pmqos infrastructure)
47  * These these three factors are treated independently.
48  *
49  * Energy break even point
50  * -----------------------
51  * C state entry and exit have an energy cost, and a certain amount of time in
52  * the  C state is required to actually break even on this cost. CPUIDLE
53  * provides us this duration in the "target_residency" field. So all that we
54  * need is a good prediction of how long we'll be idle. Like the traditional
55  * menu governor, we start with the actual known "next timer event" time.
56  *
57  * Since there are other source of wakeups (interrupts for example) than
58  * the next timer event, this estimation is rather optimistic. To get a
59  * more realistic estimate, a correction factor is applied to the estimate,
60  * that is based on historic behavior. For example, if in the past the actual
61  * duration always was 50% of the next timer tick, the correction factor will
62  * be 0.5.
63  *
64  * menu uses a running average for this correction factor, however it uses a
65  * set of factors, not just a single factor. This stems from the realization
66  * that the ratio is dependent on the order of magnitude of the expected
67  * duration; if we expect 500 milliseconds of idle time the likelihood of
68  * getting an interrupt very early is much higher than if we expect 50 micro
69  * seconds of idle time. A second independent factor that has big impact on
70  * the actual factor is if there is (disk) IO outstanding or not.
71  * (as a special twist, we consider every sleep longer than 50 milliseconds
72  * as perfect; there are no power gains for sleeping longer than this)
73  *
74  * For these two reasons we keep an array of 12 independent factors, that gets
75  * indexed based on the magnitude of the expected duration as well as the
76  * "is IO outstanding" property.
77  *
78  * Repeatable-interval-detector
79  * ----------------------------
80  * There are some cases where "next timer" is a completely unusable predictor:
81  * Those cases where the interval is fixed, for example due to hardware
82  * interrupt mitigation, but also due to fixed transfer rate devices such as
83  * mice.
84  * For this, we use a different predictor: We track the duration of the last 8
85  * intervals and if the stand deviation of these 8 intervals is below a
86  * threshold value, we use the average of these intervals as prediction.
87  *
88  * Limiting Performance Impact
89  * ---------------------------
90  * C states, especially those with large exit latencies, can have a real
91  * noticeable impact on workloads, which is not acceptable for most sysadmins,
92  * and in addition, less performance has a power price of its own.
93  *
94  * As a general rule of thumb, menu assumes that the following heuristic
95  * holds:
96  *     The busier the system, the less impact of C states is acceptable
97  *
98  * This rule-of-thumb is implemented using a performance-multiplier:
99  * If the exit latency times the performance multiplier is longer than
100  * the predicted duration, the C state is not considered a candidate
101  * for selection due to a too high performance impact. So the higher
102  * this multiplier is, the longer we need to be idle to pick a deep C
103  * state, and thus the less likely a busy CPU will hit such a deep
104  * C state.
105  *
106  * Two factors are used in determing this multiplier:
107  * a value of 10 is added for each point of "per cpu load average" we have.
108  * a value of 5 points is added for each process that is waiting for
109  * IO on this CPU.
110  * (these values are experimentally determined)
111  *
112  * The load average factor gives a longer term (few seconds) input to the
113  * decision, while the iowait value gives a cpu local instantanious input.
114  * The iowait factor may look low, but realize that this is also already
115  * represented in the system load average.
116  *
