Add the necessary definitions to the qcom-cpufreq-nvmem driver to
support basic cpufreq scaling on the Qualcomm MSM8909 SoC. In practice
the necessary power domains vary depending on the actual PMIC the SoC
was combined with. With PM8909 the VDD_APC power domain is shared with
VDD_CX so the RPM firmware handles all voltage adjustments, while with
PM8916 and PM660 Linux is responsible to do adaptive voltage scaling
of a dedicated CPU regulator using CPR.

Simplify the allocation and cleanup of driver data by using devm
together with a flexible array. Prepare for adding additional per-CPU
data by defining a struct qcom_cpufreq_drv_cpu instead of storing the
opp_tokens directly.

2.39.2
The genpd core caches performance state votes from devices that are
runtime suspended as of commit 3c5a272202c2 ("PM: domains: Improve
runtime PM performance state handling"). They get applied once the
device becomes active again.
To attach the power domains needed by qcom-cpufreq-nvmem the OPP core
calls genpd_dev_pm_attach_by_id(). This results in "virtual" dummy
devices that use runtime PM only to control the enable and performance
state for the attached power domain.
However, at the moment nothing ever resumes the virtual devices created
for qcom-cpufreq-nvmem. They remain permanently runtime suspended. This
means that performance state votes made during cpufreq scaling get
always cached and never applied to the hardware.
Fix this by enabling the devices after attaching them and use
dev_pm_syscore_device() to ensure the power domains also stay on when
going to suspend. Since it supplies the CPU we can never turn it off
from Linux. There are other mechanisms to turn it off when needed,
usually in the RPM firmware (RPMPD) or the cpuidle path (CPR genpd).
Without this fix performance states votes are silently ignored, and the
CPU/CPR voltage is never adjusted. This has been broken since 5.14 but
for some reason no one noticed this on QCS404 so far.

Hi Stephan,
I think your platform has exactly what I am looking for. Can you
please help me test this, before it lands into linux-next :)

I believe we discussed using dev_pm_syscore_device() for the previous
version. It's not intended to be used for things like the above.
Moreover, I was under the impression that it wasn't really needed. In
fact, I would think that this actually breaks things for system
suspend/resume, as in this case the cpr driver's genpd
->power_on|off() callbacks are no longer getting called due this,
which means that the cpr state machine isn't going to be restored
properly. Or did I get this wrong?
Kind regards

BTW, if you really need something like the above, the proper way to do
it would instead be to call device_set_awake_path() for the device.
This informs genpd that the device needs to stay powered-on during
system suspend (assuming that GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP has been set
for it), hence it will keep the corresponding PM domain powered-on
too.

We strictly need the RPMPDs to be always-on, also across system suspend
[1]. The RPM firmware will drop the votes internally as soon as the
CPU(s) have entered deep cpuidle. We can't do this from Linux, because
we need the CPU to continue running until it was shut down cleanly.
For CPR, we strictly need the backing regulator to be always-on, also
across system suspend. Typically the hardware will turn off the
regulator as soon as the CPU(s) enter deep cpuidle. Similarly, we can't
do this from Linux, because we need the CPU to continue running until it
was shut down cleanly.
My understanding was that we're going to pause the CPR state machine
using the system suspend/resume callbacks on the driver, instead of
using the genpd->power_on|off() callbacks [2]. I can submit a separate
patch for this.
I didn't prioritize this because QCS404 (as the only current user of
CPR) doesn't have proper deep cpuidle/power management set up yet. It's
not entirely clear to me if there is any advantage (or perhaps even
disadvantage) if we pause the CPR state machine while the shared L2
cache is still being actively powered by the CPR power rail during
system suspend. I suspect this is a configuration that was never
considered in the hardware design.
Given the strict requirement for the RPMPDs, I only see two options:
1. Have an always-on consumer that prevents the power domains to be
powered off during system suspend. This is what this patch tries to
achieve.
Or:
2. Come up with a way to register the RPMPDs used by the CPU with
GENPD_FLAG_ALWAYS_ON. This would also be doable, but isn't as
straightfoward as "regulator-always-on" in the DT because the rpmpd
DT node represents multiple genpds in a single DT node [3].
What do you think? Do you see some other solution perhaps? I hope we can
clear up the misunderstanding. :-)

Thanks, I can try if this works as alternative to the

I will wait for your thoughts on the above before accidentally going

Sure, I will try to test it until end of next week, with both single and
multiple power domains assigned to the CPU. Is there something
particular you would like me to look for? Or just that the scaling still
works correctly as before?

If we are going to do 1) as described below, this looks to me that
it's going to be needed.
How will otherwise the cpr state machine be saved/restored during
system suspend/resume? Note that, beyond 1), the genpd's
->power_on|off() callbacks are no longer going to be called during
system suspend/resume.
In a way this also means that the cpr genpd provider might as well
also have GENPD_FLAG_ALWAYS_ON set for it.

(Side note: I think "save/restore" might be the wrong words for
suspend/resume of CPR. Looking at the code most of the configuration
appears to be preserved across suspend/resume. Nothing is saved, it
literally just disables the state machine during suspend and re-enables
it during resume.
I'm not entirely sure what's the reason for doing this. Perhaps the
main goal is just to prevent the CPR state machine from getting stuck
or sending pointless IRQs that won't be handled while Linux is
suspended.)

Conceptually I would consider CPR to be a generic power domain provider
that could supply any kind of device. I know at least of CPUs and GPUs.
We need "always-on" only for the CPU, but not necessarily for other
devices.
For a GPU, the Linux driver (running on the CPU) can stop the GPU, wait
for completion and then invoke the ->power_off() callback of CPR. In
that case it is also safe to disable the backing regulator from Linux.
(I briefly mentioned this already in the previous discussion I think.)
We could set GENPD_FLAG_ALWAYS_ON for the CPR compatibles where we know
that they are only used to supply CPUs, but if we're going to do (1)
anyway there might not be much of an advantage for the extra complexity.

Could you clarify the idea behind GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP? Would I set
it conditionally for all RPMPDs or just the ones consumed by the CPU?
How does the genpd *provider* know if one of its *consumer* devices
needs to have its power domain kept on for wakeup?
Thanks!

If only the latter, that is a very good reason too. Drivers should
take care of their devices to make sure they are not triggering
spurious irqs during system suspend.

Okay, fair enough. Let's just stick with 1) and skip using
GENPD_FLAG_ALWAYS_ON bit for the cpr genpd provider.

We are thinking of the GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP as a platform
configuration type of flag for the genpd in question. The consumer
driver shouldn't need to know about the details of what is happening
on the PM domain level - only whether it needs its device to remain
powered-on during system suspend or not.
I suspect that the GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP is probably okay to set
for most genpds, but there may be some exceptions.

Thanks! I will test if this works for RPMPD and post new versions of the
patches. By coincidence I think this flag might actually be useful as
temporary solution for CPR. If I:
1. Change $subject patch to use device_set_awake_path() instead, and
2. Set GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP for the RPMPD genpds, but
3. Do *not* set GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP for the CPR genpd.
Then the genpd ->power_on|off() callbacks should still be called
for CPR during system suspend, right? :D

Out of curiosity, do you have an example for such an exception where
GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP shouldn't be set, aside from workarounds like
I just described?
As you said, the consumer device should just say that it wants to stay
powered for wakeup during suspend. But if its power domains get powered
off, I would expect that to break. How could a genpd driver still
provide power without being powered on? Wouldn't that rather be a low
performance state?
Thanks,

Yeah, simple test to ensure scaling works fine is all I need.
Shouldn't take a lot of time. Thanks.

I think this boils down to how the power-rail that the genpd manages,
is handled by the platform during system suspend.
In principle there could be some other separate logic that helps a
FW/PMIC to understand whether it needs to keep the power-rail on or
not - no matter whether the genpd releases its vote for it during
system suspend.
This becomes mostly hypothetical, but clearly there are a lot of
genpd/platforms that don't use GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP too. If those
are just mistakes or just not needed, I don't actually know.
Kind regards

Unfortunately this does not work correctly. When I use
device_set_awake_path() it does set dev->power.wakeup_path = true.
However, this flag is cleared again in device_prepare() when entering
suspend. To me it looks a bit like wakeup_path is not supposed to be set
directly by drivers? Before and after your commit 8512220c5782 ("PM /
core: Assign the wakeup_path status flag in __device_prepare()") it
seems to be internally bound to device_may_wakeup().
It works if I make device_may_wakeup() return true, with
device_set_wakeup_capable(dev, true);
device_wakeup_enable(dev);
but that also allows *disabling* the wakeup from sysfs which doesn't
really make sense for the CPU.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

The device_set_awake_path() should be called from a system suspend
callback. So you need to add that callback for the cpufreq driver.
Sorry, if that wasn't clear.

Hmm, but at the moment I'm calling this on the virtual genpd devices.
How would it work for them? I don't have a suspend callback for them.
I guess could loop over the virtual devices in the cpufreq driver
suspend callback, but is my driver suspend callback really guaranteed to
run before the device_prepare() that clears "wakeup_path" on the virtual
devices?
Or is this the point where we need device links to make that work?
A quick look suggests "wakeup_path" is just propagated to parents but
not device links, so I don't think that would help, either.

Yes, that's guaranteed. dpm_prepare() (which calls device_prepare())
is always being executed before dpm_suspend().

I don't think we need device-links for this, at least the way things
are working currently.

Thanks, I think I understand. Maybe. :-)
Just to confirm, I should call device_set_awake_path() for the virtual
genpd devices as part of the PM ->suspend() callback? And this will be
guaranteed to run after the "prepare" phase but before the
"suspend_noirq" phase where the genpd core will check the wakeup flag?
Thanks,

Thanks, this seems to works as intended! The diff I tested is below, in
case you already have some comments.
I'll put this into proper patches and will send a v3 after the merge
window.
