Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Dynamic CPU frequency switching for the HiFive

The patch series adds the support for dynamic CPU frequency switching
for FU540-C000 SoC on the HiFive Unleashed board. All the patches are
based on Paul Walmsley's work.

This series is based on Linux v5.7 and tested on HiFive unleashed board.

Yash Shah (3):
riscv: defconfig, Kconfig: enable CPU power management
riscv: dts: fu540-c000: define hart clocks
riscv: dts: HiFive Unleashed: define a default set of CPU OPPs

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] riscv: defconfig, Kconfig: enable CPU power management

Enable CPUFreq and CPUIdle for RISC-V systems to be configured with
Kconfig, and compile the kernel code to support it by default. This
will be used to support dynamic CPU frequency switching for the HiFive
Unleashed board, along with any future RISC-V boards that support
CPU power management.

Declare that each hart defined in the FU540 DT data is clocked by the
COREPLL. This is in preparation for enabling CPUFreq for the
FU540-C000 SoC on the HiFive Unleashed board.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] riscv: dts: HiFive Unleashed: define a default set of CPU OPPs

Define a default set of CPU OPPs for the HiFive Unleashed with the
FU540-C000 SoC. This allows CPUFreq to be enabled for this board.

The FU540-C000 SoC PVT corners haven't been characterized separately
from the HiFive Unleashed board. Thus the OPPs are added to the board
DT file, rather than the SoC itself.

The specific selection of OPPs are designed to enable fast switching
by simply changing the CORE PLL output divider. The exception is the
1GHz OPP. Since the OPP code apparently requires that, upon kernel
start, the CPU clock frequency must have been set to an existing OPP
frequency, the 1GHz rate is present solely because the default HiFive
Unleashed bootloaders set the CPU to run at 1GHz before starting the
kernel.

Hi Yash,

Thank you for the patch. It works for me to test with cpufreq-ljt-stress-test.
Here is my log.

at different cpufreq operating points.

I'm using that patch with 5.7.5.

It appears to interfer with serial output when using the ondemand
governor.

I also see soft lockups when using the performance governor:

I do recall that userspace governor is the only one supported but this
might have changed before this patch was posted.

Yash, do you have more details?

That doesn't make sense to me. How is the userspace governor different
from any other governor?

I am looking into the issues you reported. I will update soon.
Thanks for testing.

It's not.

The issue here is that pretty much everything is on one clock, including all
the cores and the simple IO devices. These IO devices have programmable clock
dividers that need to mesh up with the input clock rate in order to operate
correctly. There's no way to do that atomicly WRT the device's clock, so we
have to pause device IO while messing with the clocks.

I bet there's some issue with 4cbd7814bbd5 ("tty: sifive: Finish transmission
before changing the clock") that's causing the serial to get corrupted, and I
guess I'd start with all the issues I pointed out in the patch text :).
Presumably we need to fix the SPI driver as well, in much the same fashion
(though hopefully with fewer hardware surprises to work around). I'd be way
more worried about ChipLink, as I don't know how that's clocked. IIRC Ethernet
has its own clock so it should be safe.

I'd be very skeptical about turning on dynamic frequency scaling for the HiFive
Unleashed, as it's probably just not worth chasing the long tail of bugs. Even
allowing the userspace governor is a bit sketchy, but given that it's a very
early dev board I assume these sorts of problems are expected.

If we do ever turn dynamic frequency scaling on it's not going to default to
allowing 1.4GHz, from what I saw speeds much over 1GHz don't work for most
people.

Any idea of why this patch was not applied?

There was a decision not to upstream CPUFreq stuff for Unleashed thus
the whole series probably was abandoned. Not all Unleashed can operate
in a stable way at 1.4GHz. IIRC other issues could exist. See Palmer
reply for the whole series.

Thanks, but the DT change is still valid, and should be upstreamed.
