INTRODUCTION
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
Consider the situation where a system’s power consumption must be
|
||||
reduced at runtime, due to power budget, thermal constraint, or noise
|
||||
level, and where active cooling is not preferred. Software managed
|
||||
passive power reduction must be performed to prevent the hardware
|
||||
actions that are designed for catastrophic scenarios.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, P-states, T-states (clock modulation), and CPU offlining
|
||||
are used for CPU throttling.
|
||||
|
||||
On Intel CPUs, C-states provide effective power reduction, but so far
|
||||
they’re only used opportunistically, based on workload. With the
|
||||
development of intel_powerclamp driver, the method of synchronizing
|
||||
idle injection across all online CPU threads was introduced. The goal
|
||||
is to achieve forced and controllable C-state residency.
|
||||
|
||||
Test/Analysis has been made in the areas of power, performance,
|
||||
scalability, and user experience. In many cases, clear advantage is
|
||||
shown over taking the CPU offline or modulating the CPU clock.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
===================
|
||||
THEORY OF OPERATION
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
Idle Injection
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
On modern Intel processors (Nehalem or later), package level C-state
|
||||
residency is available in MSRs, thus also available to the kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
These MSRs are:
|
||||
#define MSR_PKG_C2_RESIDENCY 0x60D
|
||||
#define MSR_PKG_C3_RESIDENCY 0x3F8
|
||||
#define MSR_PKG_C6_RESIDENCY 0x3F9
|
||||
#define MSR_PKG_C7_RESIDENCY 0x3FA
|
||||
|
||||
If the kernel can also inject idle time to the system, then a
|
||||
closed-loop control system can be established that manages package
|
||||
level C-state. The intel_powerclamp driver is conceived as such a
|
||||
control system, where the target set point is a user-selected idle
|
||||
ratio (based on power reduction), and the error is the difference
|
||||
between the actual package level C-state residency ratio and the target idle
|
||||
ratio.
|
||||
|
||||
Injection is controlled by high priority kernel threads, spawned for
|
||||
each online CPU.
|
||||
|
||||
These kernel threads, with SCHED_FIFO class, are created to perform
|
||||
clamping actions of controlled duty ratio and duration. Each per-CPU
|
||||
thread synchronizes its idle time and duration, based on the rounding
|
||||
of jiffies, so accumulated errors can be prevented to avoid a jittery
|
||||
effect. Threads are also bound to the CPU such that they cannot be
|
||||
migrated, unless the CPU is taken offline. In this case, threads
|
||||
belong to the offlined CPUs will be terminated immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
Running as SCHED_FIFO and relatively high priority, also allows such
|
||||
scheme to work for both preemptable and non-preemptable kernels.
|
||||
Alignment of idle time around jiffies ensures scalability for HZ
|
||||
values. This effect can be better visualized using a Perf timechart.
|
||||
The following diagram shows the behavior of kernel thread
|
||||
kidle_inject/cpu. During idle injection, it runs monitor/mwait idle
|
||||
for a given "duration", then relinquishes the CPU to other tasks,
|
||||
until the next time interval.
|
||||
|
||||
The NOHZ schedule tick is disabled during idle time, but interrupts
|
||||
are not masked. Tests show that the extra wakeups from scheduler tick
|
||||
have a dramatic impact on the effectiveness of the powerclamp driver
|
||||
on large scale systems (Westmere system with 80 processors).

roundup(jiffies, interval)
|
||||
|
||||
Only one CPU is allowed to collect statistics and update global
|
||||
control parameters. This CPU is referred to as the controlling CPU in
|
||||
this document. The controlling CPU is elected at runtime, with a
|
||||
policy that favors BSP, taking into account the possibility of a CPU
|
||||
hot-plug.
|
||||
|
||||
In terms of dynamics of the idle control system, package level idle
|
||||
time is considered largely as a non-causal system where its behavior
|
||||
cannot be based on the past or current input. Therefore, the
|
||||
intel_powerclamp driver attempts to enforce the desired idle time
|
||||
instantly as given input (target idle ratio). After injection,
|
||||
powerclamp moniors the actual idle for a given time window and adjust
|
||||
the next injection accordingly to avoid over/under correction.
|
||||
|
||||
When used in a causal control system, such as a temperature control,
|
||||
it is up to the user of this driver to implement algorithms where
|
||||
past samples and outputs are included in the feedback. For example, a
|
||||
PID-based thermal controller can use the powerclamp driver to
|
||||
maintain a desired target temperature, based on integral and
|
||||
derivative gains of the past samples.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Calibration
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
During scalability testing, it is observed that synchronized actions
|
||||
among CPUs become challenging as the number of cores grows. This is
|
||||
also true for the ability of a system to enter package level C-states.
|
||||
|
||||
To make sure the intel_powerclamp driver scales well, online
|
||||
calibration is implemented. The goals for doing such a calibration
|
||||
are:
|
||||
|
||||
a) determine the effective range of idle injection ratio
|
||||
b) determine the amount of compensation needed at each target ratio
|
||||
|
||||
Compensation to each target ratio consists of two parts:
|
||||
|
||||
a) steady state error compensation
|
||||
This is to offset the error occurring when the system can
|
||||
enter idle without extra wakeups (such as external interrupts).
|
||||
|
||||
b) dynamic error compensation
|
||||
When an excessive amount of wakeups occurs during idle, an
|
||||
additional idle ratio can be added to quiet interrupts, by
|
||||
slowing down CPU activities.
|
||||
|
||||
A debugfs file is provided for the user to examine compensation
|
||||
progress and results, such as on a Westmere system.

Calibration occurs during runtime. No offline method is available.
|
||||
Steady state compensation is used only when confidence levels of all
|
||||
adjacent ratios have reached satisfactory level. A confidence level
|
||||
is accumulated based on clean data collected at runtime. Data
|
||||
collected during a period without extra interrupts is considered
|
||||
clean.
|
||||
|
||||
To compensate for excessive amounts of wakeup during idle, additional
|
||||
idle time is injected when such a condition is detected. Currently,
|
||||
we have a simple algorithm to double the injection ratio. A possible
|
||||
enhancement might be to throttle the offending IRQ, such as delaying
|
||||
EOI for level triggered interrupts. But it is a challenge to be
|
||||
non-intrusive to the scheduler or the IRQ core code.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
CPU Online/Offline
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
Per-CPU kernel threads are started/stopped upon receiving
|
||||
notifications of CPU hotplug activities. The intel_powerclamp driver
|
||||
keeps track of clamping kernel threads, even after they are migrated
|
||||
to other CPUs, after a CPU offline event.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
Performance Analysis
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
This section describes the general performance data collected on
|
||||
multiple systems, including Westmere (80P) and Ivy Bridge (4P, 8P).
|
||||
|
||||
Effectiveness and Limitations
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
The maximum range that idle injection is allowed is capped at 50
|
||||
percent. As mentioned earlier, since interrupts are allowed during
|
||||
forced idle time, excessive interrupts could result in less
|
||||
effectiveness. The extreme case would be doing a ping -f to generated
|
||||
flooded network interrupts without much CPU acknowledgement. In this
|
||||
case, little can be done from the idle injection threads. In most
|
||||
normal cases, such as scp a large file, applications can be throttled
|
||||
by the powerclamp driver, since slowing down the CPU also slows down
|
||||
network protocol processing, which in turn reduces interrupts.
|
||||
|
||||
When control parameters change at runtime by the controlling CPU, it
|
||||
may take an additional period for the rest of the CPUs to catch up
|
||||
with the changes. During this time, idle injection is out of sync,
|
||||
thus not able to enter package C- states at the expected ratio. But
|
||||
this effect is minor, in that in most cases change to the target
|
||||
ratio is updated much less frequently than the idle injection
|
||||
frequency.
|
||||
|
||||
Scalability
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
Tests also show a minor, but measurable, difference between the 4P/8P
|
||||
Ivy Bridge system and the 80P Westmere server under 50% idle ratio.
|
||||
More compensation is needed on Westmere for the same amount of
|
||||
target idle ratio. The compensation also increases as the idle ratio
|
||||
gets larger. The above reason constitutes the need for the
|
||||
calibration code.
|
||||
|
||||
On the IVB 8P system, compared to an offline CPU, powerclamp can
|
||||
achieve up to 40% better performance per watt. (measured by a spin
|
||||
counter summed over per CPU counting threads spawned for all running
|
||||
CPUs).
|
||||
|
||||
====================
|
||||
Usage and Interfaces
|
||||
====================
|
||||
The powerclamp driver is registered to the generic thermal layer as a
|
||||
cooling device. Currently, it’s not bound to any thermal zones.
|
||||
|
||||
jacob@chromoly:/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device14$ grep . *
|
||||
cur_state:0
|
||||
max_state:50
|
||||
type:intel_powerclamp
|
||||
|
||||
Example usage:
|
||||
- To inject 25% idle time
|
||||
$ sudo sh -c "echo 25 > /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device80/cur_state
|
||||
"
|
||||
|
||||
If the system is not busy and has more than 25% idle time already,
|
||||
then the powerclamp driver will not start idle injection. Using Top
|
||||
will not show idle injection kernel threads.
|
||||
|
||||
If the system is busy (spin test below) and has less than 25% natural
|
||||
idle time, powerclamp kernel threads will do idle injection, which
|
||||
appear running to the scheduler. But the overall system idle is still
|
||||
reflected. In this example, 24.1% idle is shown. This helps the
|
||||
system admin or user determine the cause of slowdown, when a
|
||||
powerclamp driver is in action.

Tests have shown that by using the powerclamp driver as a cooling
|
||||
device, a PID based userspace thermal controller can manage to
|
||||
control CPU temperature effectively, when no other thermal influence
|
||||
is added. For example, a UltraBook user can compile the kernel under
|
||||
certain temperature (below most active trip points).
