Subject: [RFC v2 0/1] drm: lima: devfreq and cooling device support

This is my attempt at adding devfreq (and cooling device) support to
the lima driver.

I am seeking comments in two general areas:
- regarding the integration into the existing lima code
- for the actual devfreq code (I had to adapt the panfrost code
slightly, because lima uses a bus and a GPU/core clock)

My own TODO list includes "more" testing on various Amlogic SoCs.
So far I have tested this on Meson8b and Meson8m2 (which both have a
GPU OPP table defined). However, I still need to test this on a GXL
board (which is currently missing the GPU OPP table).

Test results from a Meson8m2 board:
TEST #1: glmark2-es2-drm --off-screen in an infinite loop while cycling
through all available frequencies using the userspace governor

Changes since RFC v1 at [0]:
- added lock to protect the statistics as these can be written
concurrently for example when the GP and PP IRQ are firing at the
same time. Thanks to Qiang Yu for the suggestion!
- updated the copyright notice of lima_devfreq.c to indicate that the
code is derived from panfrost_devfreq.c. Thanks to Chen-Yu Tsai for
the suggestion!
- I did not unify the code with panfrost yet because I don't know where
to put the result. any suggestion is welcome though!

Subject: [RFC v2 1/1] drm/lima: Add optional devfreq support

Most platforms with a Mali-400 or Mali-450 GPU also have support for
changing the GPU clock frequency. Add devfreq support so the GPU clock
rate is updated based on the actual GPU usage when the
"operating-points-v2" property is present in the board.dts.

The actual devfreq code is taken from panfrost_devfreq.c and modified so
it matches what the lima hardware needs:
- a call to dev_pm_opp_set_clkname() during initialization because there
are two clocks on Mali-4x0 IPs. "core" is the one that actually clocks
the GPU so we need to control it using devfreq.
- locking when reading or writing the devfreq statistics because (unlike
than panfrost) we have multiple PP and GP IRQs which may finish jobs
concurrently.

I gave this a quick try on my RK3328, and the clock scaling indeed kicks
in nicely on the glmark2 scenes that struggle, however something appears
to be missing in terms of regulator association, as the appropriate OPP
voltages aren't reflected in the GPU supply (fortunately the initial
voltage seems close enough to that of the highest OPP not to cause major
problems, on my box at least). With panfrost on RK3399 I do see the
supply voltage scaling accordingly, but I don't know my way around
devfreq well enough to know what matters in the difference :/

Thanks,
Robin.

first of all: thank you for trying this out! :-)

does your kernel include commit 221bc77914cbcc ("drm/panfrost: Use
generic code for devfreq") for your panfrost test?
if I understand the devfreq API correct then I suspect with that
commit panfrost also won't change the voltage anymore.

this is probably due to a missing call to dev_pm_opp_set_regulators()
which is supposed to attach the regulator to the devfreq instance.
I didn't notice this yet because on Amlogic SoCs the voltage is the
same for all OPPs.

I'll debug this in the next days and send an updated patch (and drop
the RFC prefix if there are no more comments).


Regards
Martin

Oh, you're quite right - I was already considering that change as
ancient history, but indeed it's only in 5.5-rc, while that board is
still on 5.4.y release kernels. No wonder I couldn't make sense of how
the (current) code could possibly be working :)

I'll try the latest -rc kernel tomorrow to confirm (now that PCIe is
hopefully fixed), but I'm already fairly confident you've called it
correctly.

Cheers,
Robin.

This should be moved to the else {} part of the following code. As you
have added the save
idle record to the lima_sched_handle_error_task which is just the if
{} part of the following
code, so no need to call it twice for error tasks. BTW.
lima_sched_handle_error_task is also
used for timeout tasks, so add idle record in it is fine.

Qiang

I just tested it with the lima driver (by undervolting the GPU by
0.05V) and it seems that dev_pm_opp_set_regulators is really needed.
I'll fix this in the next version of this patch and also submit a fix
for panfrost (I won't be able to test that though, so help is
appreciated in terms of testing :))

oh, that is a good catch - thank you!
I will fix that in the next version

Yeah, I started hacking something up for panfrost yesterday, but at the
point of realising the core OPP code wants refactoring to actually
handle optional regulators without spewing errors, decided that was
crossing the line into "work" and thus could wait until next week :D

I'm not sure what you mean, dev_pm_opp_set_regulators uses
regulator_get_optional.
doesn't that mean that it is optional already?

Indeed it does call regulator_get_optional(), but it then goes on to
treat the absence of a supposedly-optional regulator as a hard failure.
It doesn't seem very useful having a nice abstracted interface if users
still end up have to dance around and duplicate half the parsing in
order to work out whether it's worth calling or not - far better IMO if
it could just successfully set/put zero regulators in the cases where
the OPPs are behind a firmware/mailbox DVFS interface rather than
explicit in-kernel clock/regulator control.

That said, given that I think the current lima/panfrost users should all
be relatively simple with either 0 or 1 regulator, you could probably
just special-case -ENODEV and accept a spurious error message sometimes
for the sake of an immediate fix, then we can make general improvements
to the interface separately afterwards.

thank you for the explanation
I'll experience this case on newer Amlogic SoCs where regulators are
hidden behind SCPI firmware. so far I have only tested the case
without OPP-table on those SoCs.

OK, I'll be working on this next week again
if you get to fix panfrost earlier then please Cc me so we don't duplicate work
