I was planning to look at it once Lukasz/Dietmar confirm that this concept
doesn't change anything fundamental in the way EAS related changes work
today. I know I suggested the change as that seem to be right way to do
but I haven't analysed if this has any negative impact on the existing
features as this change will impact all the existing platform with OPPs
above sustained performance/frequency advertised from the SCMI platform
firmware.

Can't we just use dom->sustained_freq_khz * 1000UL in both the cases ?

Other than that this series looks good to me but it would be good to
explain how you would use this. Since it is enabled by default, do you
plan to disable boost at time and when ? If it is for thermal reasons,
why your other series handling thermal and limits notification from the
firmware not sufficient.

It seems the sustained_freq is not optional since SCMI v1.0,
is it necessary to check that (sustained_freq != 0) ?

I was mostly concerned about the settings for the CPU frequency
invariance implementation in [drivers/base/arch_topology.c]:

#define arch_scale_freq_capacity topology_get_freq_scale

But per_cpu(capacity_freq_ref, cpu) is still set to
'policy->cpuinfo.max_freq' in init_cpu_capacity_callback()
which stays the same.

With some extra debugging I get the following on Juno-r0 [L b b L L L]:

[ 439.499621] cpufreq_update_pressure() cpu=5 cpufreq_pressure=79

reflecting the max frequency change from '1100000 to 800000' on CPU1,2
and from '850000 to 700000' on CPU0,3-5.

root@juno:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq# echo 1 > boost

[ 2722.728224] cpufreq_update_pressure() cpu=5 cpufreq_pressure=0

What doesn't work for me is to disable boost per policy:

root@juno:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq# echo 1 > boost
root@juno:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq# echo 0 > policy0/boost
root@juno:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq# echo 0 > policy1/boost

Here I don't see 'cpufreq_pressure' changes.

BTW, what's the use case you have in mind for this feature? Is it to cap
high OPPs for CPUs in a certain CPUfreq policy?

Technically correct, we don't have to. But since day 1, we checked and
handled 0 for perf_level specifically to avoid division by zero. I am
just worried if there are any platforms in the wild with these values as
0. We can start without the check and add it if someone complains perhaps ?

OK I admit, I wasn't aware of this per policy boost flag.
It must be enabled by default if it has any effect. Otherwise
it breaks the existing behaviour on all the SCMI based platforms.

sure will drop the check in the re-spin.

sure, I retained sustained_perf_level because I wasn't sure how the
sustained_perf_level would be populated in systems not using level
indexing mode.

Boost frequencies defined in X1E are achievable by only one CPU in a
cluster i.e. either the other CPUs in the same cluster should be in low
power mode or offline. So it's mostly for book keeping i.e. we wouldn't
to intimate incorrectly that the CPUs are running at max possible
frequency when it's actually running at a lower frequency.

Yeah, that's exactly the use case for X1E. Boost frequencies defined in
the SoC are achievable by only one CPU in a cluster i.e. either the
other CPUs in the same cluster should be in low power mode or offline.
So it's mostly for book keeping i.e. we wouldn't to intimate incorrectly
that the CPUs are running at max possible frequency when it's actually
running at a lower frequency.

I see.

What about the issue with the settings of the global and the per-policy
'boost' file?

On my Juno-r0 the initial boost values are:

(1) Initial setting:

root@juno:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq# cat boost policy*/boost
1
0
0

Should they not all be 1 ?


(2) Disabling system-wide boost

root@juno:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq# echo 0 > boost

Here I see 'cpufreq_pressure > 0' for all CPUs.


(3) Enabling system-wide boost

root@juno:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq# echo 1 > boost

And here 'cpufreq_pressure == 0' for all CPUs.


(4) Disabling boost for policy0.

root@juno:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq# echo 0 > policy0/boost

root@juno:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq# cat boost policy*/boost
1
0
1

Here nothing happened. But I was expecting to see 'cpufreq_pressure > 0'
for CPUs of policy0:

root@juno:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq# cat policy0/affected_cpus
0 3 4 5

Finally got some time to fix this, I've posted out the fix and re-spun
the series as well. This should fix the default values of per-policy
boost flags as well.
