2015-03-13cpuidle: mvebu: Update cpuidle thresholds for Armada XP SOCsSebastien Rannou1-4/+4
Originally, the thresholds used in the cpuidle driver for Armada SOCs were temporarily chosen, leaving room for improvements. This commit updates the thresholds for the Armada XP SOCs with values that positively impact performances: without patch with patch vendor kernel - iperf localhost (gbit/sec) ~3.7 ~6.4 ~5.4 - ioping tmpfs (iops) ~163k ~206k ~179k - ioping tmpfs (mib/s) ~636 ~805 ~699 The idle power consumption is negatively impacted (proportionally less than the performance gain), and we are still performing better than the vendor kernel here: without patch with patch vendor kernel - power consumption idle (W) ~2.4 ~3.2 ~4.4 - power consumption busy (W) ~8.6 ~8.3 ~8.6 There is still room for improvement regarding the value of these thresholds, they were chosen to mimic the vendor kernel. This patch only impacts Armada XP SOCs and was tested on Online Labs C1 boards. A similar approach can be taken to improve the performances of the Armada 370 and Armada 38x SOCs. Thanks a lot to Thomas Petazzoni, Gregory Clement and Willy Tarreau for the discussions and tips around this topic.

2015-03-13cpuidle: mvebu: Fix the CPU PM notifier usageGregory CLEMENT1-2/+2
As stated in kernel/cpu_pm.c, "Platform is responsible for ensuring that cpu_pm_enter is not called twice on the same CPU before cpu_pm_exit is called.". In the current code in case of failure when calling mvebu_v7_cpu_suspend, the function cpu_pm_exit() is never called whereas cpu_pm_enter() was called just before. This patch moves the cpu_pm_exit() in order to balance the cpu_pm_enter() calls.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core Pull driver core update from Greg KH: "Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1. They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes, just removing a line in a structure. Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs changes.

2014-11-12cpuidle: Invert CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_VALID logicDaniel Lezcano1-6/+2
The only place where the time is invalid is when the ACPI_CSTATE_FFH entry method is not set. Otherwise for all the drivers, the time can be correctly measured. Instead of duplicating the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_VALID flag in all the drivers for all the states, just invert the logic by replacing it by the flag CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID, hence we can set this flag only for the acpi idle driver, remove the former flag from all the drivers and invert the logic with this flag in the different governor.

A platform_driver does not need to set an owner, it will be populated by the driver core. Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang <wsa@the-dreams.de>

2014-07-24cpuidle: mvebu: rename the driver from armada-370-xp to mvebu-v7Gregory CLEMENT1-0/+92
This driver will be able to manage the cpuidle for more SoCs than just Armada 370 and XP. It will also support Armada 38x and potentially other SoC of the Marvell Armada EBU family. To take this into account, this patch renames the driver and its symbols. It also changes the driver name from cpuidle-armada-370-xp to cpuidle-armada-xp, because separate platform drivers will be registered for the other SoC types. This change must be done simultaneously in the cpuidle driver and in the PMSU code in order to remain bisectable.
