PM/Sleep: Timer quiesce in freeze state

The patch is based on v3.18.

Freeze is a general power saving state that processes are frozen, devices are suspended and CPUs are in idle state. However, when the system enters freeze state, there are a few timers keep ticking and hence consumes more power unnecessarily. The observed timer events in freeze state are:
- tick_sched_timer
- watchdog lockup detector
- realtime scheduler period timer

The system power consumption in freeze state will be reduced significantly if we quiesce these timers.

The patch is tested on:
- Sandybrdige-EP system, both RTC alarm and power button are able to wake the system up from freeze state.
- HP laptop EliteBook 8460p, both RTC alarm and power button are able to wake the system up from freeze state.
- Baytrail-T(ASUS_T100) platform, power button is able to wake the system up from freeze state.

How is that supposed to work?

If timekeeping is not yet unfrozen, then any interrupt handling code which calls anything time related is going to hit lala land.

You must guarantee that timekeeping is unfrozen before any interrupt is handled. If you cannot guarantee that, you cannot freeze timekeeping ever.

The cpu local tick device is less critical, but it happens to work by chance, not by design.

This is really horrible. We now have basically the same code for freeze/unfreeze and suspend/resume just in different files and with slightly different functionality.

And we have that just because you want to (ab)use clockevents_lock for serialization.

Quoted 6 lines

You must guarantee that timekeeping is unfrozen before any interrupt is handled. If you cannot guarantee that, you cannot freeze timekeeping ever.

The cpu local tick device is less critical, but it happens to work by chance, not by design.

There are two way to guarantee this: the first way is, disable interrupt before timekeeping frozen and enable interrupt after timekeeping is unfrozen. However, we need to handle wakeup handler before unfreeze timekeeping to wake freeze task up from wait queue.

So we have to go the other way, the other way is, we ignore time related calls during freeze, like what I added in irq_enter below.

Or, we need to re-implement freeze wait and wake up mechanism?

It looks like a notifier is unpopular, I was trying to avoid a global variable across different kernel modules. But yes, I can change. May I know the disadvantage of notifier callback?

The V2 patch was using stop machine mechanism according to Peter's suggestion. This V3 patch, IIRC, clockevents_lock was your suggestion.

OK, so perhaps we need to move _SUSPEND/_RESUME out of there to start with?

As far as I can say, clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_SUSPEND, NULL) and clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_RESUME, NULL) are each only called from one place and moreover, since they are in syscore_ops, we don't need any locking around them.

So what about the patch below?

clockevents_notify() is not a notifier. Its a multiplex call and I want to get rid of it and replace it with explicit functions.

Quoted 8 lines

OK, so perhaps we need to move _SUSPEND/_RESUME out of there to start with?

As far as I can say, clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_SUSPEND, NULL) and clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_RESUME, NULL) are each only called from one place and moreover, since they are in syscore_ops, we don't need any locking around them.

So what about the patch below?

I'm cleaning up the whole replacement of notify. The stuff below is part of it.

At least it's clear what the patch does. :-)

tick_suspend_broadcast() wants to be called from tick_suspend().

OK

Still compiling and testing a gazillion of combinations.

OK, so it looks like we need to wait with the suspend to idle changes until this lands.

How is that supposed to work?

If timekeeping is not yet unfrozen, then any interrupt handling code which calls anything time related is going to hit lala land.

Quoted 6 lines

You must guarantee that timekeeping is unfrozen before any interrupt is handled. If you cannot guarantee that, you cannot freeze timekeeping ever.

The cpu local tick device is less critical, but it happens to work by chance, not by design.

Quoted 7 lines

There are two way to guarantee this: the first way is, disable interrupt before timekeeping frozen and enable interrupt after timekeeping is unfrozen. However, we need to handle wakeup handler before unfreeze timekeeping to wake freeze task up from wait queue.

So we have to go the other way, the other way is, we ignore time related calls during freeze, like what I added in irq_enter below.

Groan. You just do not call in irq_enter/exit(), but what prevents any interrupt handler or whatever to call into the time/timer code after interrupts got reenabled?

Nothing.

The only remaining issue might be a NMI calling into ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() before timekeeping is resumed. Its probably a non issue on x86/tsc, but it might be a problem on other platforms which turn off devices, clocks, It's not rocket science to prevent that.

If we suspend timekeeping we can make the fast timekeeper point at a dummy readout function which returns the time at suspend, if the clock source does not resume automagically.

As I said TSC should be a non issue, but other stuff might be. We could make it conditional on CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP perhaps.

I think this needs to be addressed in a different way overall. If you don't mind, I'd like to prepare my own version of the patch at this point. That likely will be simpler than trying to explain what I'd like to do and I guess I'll need a few iterations to get something acceptable anyway.

So the patch below is my version of the $subject one trying to take the above suggestion into account. It doesn not address the ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() in NMI case at this stage, because quite frankly I'd prefer to get the core changes right in the first place.

The new ->enter_freeze callback is there in struct cpuidle_state, because we generally cannot trust the existing ->enter callbacks to keep interrupts disabled all the time. Some of them enable interrupts temporarily and some idle entry methods enable interrupts automatically on exit. So ->enter_freeze is required to keep interrupts disabled and it is safe to suspend/resume timekeeping around it.

The rest is reasonably straightforward. If suspend-to-idle is requested, couidle_idle_call() calls cpuidle_enter_freeze() that bypasses the governor and selects the deepest suitable state. If ->enter_freeze is available, it will be used along with tick_freeze()/tick_unfreeze() and the normal idle entry code path will be used otherwise.

So x86 mwait can do this;

what other archs can 'sleep' and keep interrupts disabled?

It looks like the ARM WFI thing wakes on pending interrupts and doesn't actually require interrupts to be enabled, so that too would work.

So the patch below is my version of the $subject one trying to take the above suggestion into account. It doesn not address the ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() in NMI case at this stage, because quite frankly I'd prefer to get the core changes right in the first place.

The new ->enter_freeze callback is there in struct cpuidle_state, because we generally cannot trust the existing ->enter callbacks to keep interrupts disabled all the time. Some of them enable interrupts temporarily and some idle entry methods enable interrupts automatically on exit. So ->enter_freeze is required to keep interrupts disabled and it is safe to suspend/resume timekeeping around it.

The rest is reasonably straightforward. If suspend-to-idle is requested, couidle_idle_call() calls cpuidle_enter_freeze() that bypasses the governor and selects the deepest suitable state. If ->enter_freeze is available, it will be used along with tick_freeze()/tick_unfreeze() and the normal idle entry code path will be used otherwise.

In the meantime I learned how to tell RCU that it actually should track stuff inside of the idle loop, so cpuidle_enter_freeze() can go under the rcu_idle_enter/exit() now which makes it look more like "real" idle.

Also I noticed that freeze_enter() could lose a wakeup event if it happened between dpm_suspend_noirq() and the point where suspend_freeze_state is set, so that race should be closed now.

In my testing (with a hacked ACPI cpuidle driver) I get a number of wakeups (usually no more than 30) in enter_freeze_proper() per suspend-to-idle cycle, but that number doesn't seem to depend on the length of sleep, so my theory is that this happens early until things relax sufficiently.

ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() is not covered yet, but I'm going to get to that next.

I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but here it goes.

The idea is to set up a dummy readout base for the fast timekeeper during timekeeping_suspend() such that it will always return the same number of cycles. After the last timekeeping_update() in timekeeping_suspend() we read the clocksource and store the result as cycles_at_suspend. The readout base from the current timekeeper is copied onto the dummy and the ->read pointer of the dummy is set to a routine unconditionally returning cycles_at_suspend. Next, the dummy is passed to update_fast_timekeeper() (which has been modified slightly to accept the readout base instead of a whole timekeeper).

Then, if I'm not mistaken, ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() should work until the subsequent timekeeping_resume() and then the proper readout base for the fast timekeeper will be restored by the timekeeping_update() called right after we've cleared timekeeping_suspended.

I was hoping to not have to put that into the regular idle path; say maybe share a single special branch with the play-dead call. People seem to start complaining about the total amount of time it takes to just 'run' the idle path.

Now I don't think we can do that, because we need the arch_cpu_idle_enter() nonsense for the one but not the other; also all this really only makes sense in the cpuidle context, so nothing to be done about that.

In any case, you could make that:

static inline bool idle_should_freeze(void)

{
	return unlikely(suspend_freeze_state == FREEZE_STATE_ENTER);
}

which should help a bit I suppose.

This is slightly different from cpuidle_enter() in that it does not consider the coupled states nonsense, is that on purpose? And if so, does that want a comment?

But over all it looks fine to me.
