can be different due to chip binning. The voltage impacts the power usage

The Energy Model (EM) can be modified at runtime which brings new
possibilities. The em_cpu_energy() is called by the Energy Aware Scheduler
(EAS) in its hot path. The energy calculation uses power value for
a given performance state (ps) and the CPU busy time as percentage for that
given frequency.
It is possible to avoid the division by 'scale_cpu' at runtime, because
EM is updated whenever new max capacity CPU is set in the system.
Use that feature and do the needed division during the calculation of the
coefficient 'ps->cost'. That enhanced 'ps->cost' value can be then just
multiplied simply by utilization:
pd_nrg = ps->cost * \Sum cpu_util
to get the needed energy for whole Performance Domain (PD).
With this optimization and earlier removal of map_util_freq(), the
em_cpu_energy() should run faster on the Big CPU by 1.43x and on the Little
CPU by 1.69x (RockPi 4B board).

The performance doesn't scale linearly with the frequency. Also, it may
be different in different workloads. Some CPUs are designed to be
particularly good at some applications e.g. images or video processing
and other CPUs in different. When those different types of CPUs are
combined in one SoC they should be properly modeled to get max of the HW
in Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS). The Energy Model (EM) provides the
power vs. performance curves to the EAS, but assumes the CPUs capacity
is fixed and scales linearly with the frequency. This patch allows to
adjust the curve on the 'performance' axis as well.

The milli-Watts precision causes rounding errors while calculating
efficiency cost for each OPP. This is especially visible in the 'simple'
Energy Model (EM), where the power for each OPP is provided from OPP
framework. This can cause some OPPs to be marked inefficient, while
using micro-Watts precision that might not happen.
Update all EM users which access 'power' field and assume the value is
in milli-Watts.
Solve also an issue with potential overflow in calculation of energy
estimation on 32bit machine. It's needed now since the power value
(thus the 'cost' as well) are higher.
Example calculation which shows the rounding error and impact:
power = 'dyn-power-coeff' * volt_mV * volt_mV * freq_MHz
power_a_uW = (100 * 600mW * 600mW * 500MHz) / 10^6 = 18000
power_a_mW = (100 * 600mW * 600mW * 500MHz) / 10^9 = 18
power_b_uW = (100 * 605mW * 605mW * 600MHz) / 10^6 = 21961
power_b_mW = (100 * 605mW * 605mW * 600MHz) / 10^9 = 21
max_freq = 2000MHz
cost_a_mW = 18 * 2000MHz/500MHz = 72
cost_a_uW = 18000 * 2000MHz/500MHz = 72000
cost_b_mW = 21 * 2000MHz/600MHz = 70 // <- artificially better
cost_b_uW = 21961 * 2000MHz/600MHz = 73203
The 'cost_b_mW' (which is based on old milli-Watts) is misleadingly
better that the 'cost_b_uW' (this patch uses micro-Watts) and such
would have impact on the 'inefficient OPPs' information in the Cpufreq
framework. This patch set removes the rounding issue.

The Energy Model (EM) provides useful information about device power in
each performance state to other subsystems like: Energy Aware Scheduler
(EAS). The energy calculation in EAS does arithmetic operation based on
the EM em_cpu_energy(). Current implementation of that function uses
em_perf_state::cost as a pre-computed cost coefficient equal to:
cost = power * max_frequency / frequency.
The 'power' is expressed in milli-Watts (or in abstract scale).
There are corner cases when the EAS energy calculation for two Performance
Domains (PDs) return the same value. The EAS compares these values to
choose smaller one. It might happen that this values are equal due to
rounding error. In such scenario, we need better resolution, e.g. 1000
times better. To provide this possibility increase the resolution in the
em_perf_state::cost for 64-bit architectures. The cost of increasing
resolution on 32-bit is pretty high (64-bit division) and is not justified
since there are no new 32bit big.LITTLE EAS systems expected which would
benefit from this higher resolution.
This patch allows to avoid the rounding to milli-Watt errors, which might
occur in EAS energy estimation for each PD. The rounding error is common
for small tasks which have small utilization value.
There are two places in the code where it makes a difference:
1. In the find_energy_efficient_cpu() where we are searching for
best_delta. We might suffer there when two PDs return the same result,
like in the example below.
Scenario:
Low utilized system e.g. ~200 sum_util for PD0 and ~220 for PD1. There
are quite a few small tasks ~10-15 util. These tasks would suffer for
the rounding error. These utilization values are typical when running games
on Android. One of our partners has reported 5..10mA less battery drain
when running with increased resolution.
Some details:
We have two PDs: PD0 (big) and PD1 (little)
Let's compare w/o patch set ('old') and w/ patch set ('new')
We are comparing energy w/ task and w/o task placed in the PDs

energy_w_task = 480 * 228 / 1024 = 106.87 => 106
energy_diff = 106 - 100 = 6
(this is equal to 'old' PD1's energy_diff in 'c)')
b) 'new' w/ patch set, PD0
task_util = 13

sum_util_w_task = 228

energy_w_task = 480000 * 228 / 1024 = 106875
energy_diff = 106875 - 100781 = 6094
(this is not equal to 'new' PD1's energy_diff in 'd)')

(this is not equal to 'new' PD0's energy_diff in 'b)')
2. Difference in the 6% energy margin filter at the end of

has better resolution, so it's possible to have better task placement
thanks to that.

Add now function in the Energy Model framework which is going to support
new devices. This function will help in transition and make it smoother.
For now it still checks if the cpumask is a valid pointer, which will be
removed later when the new structures and infrastructure will be ready.

The Energy Model uses concept of performance domain and capacity states in
order to calculate power used by CPUs. Change naming convention from
capacity to performance state would enable wider usage in future, e.g.
upcoming support for other devices other than CPUs.

The recently introduced Energy Model (EM) framework manages power cost
tables of CPUs. These tables are currently only visible from kernel
space. However, in order to debug the behaviour of subsystems that use
the EM (EAS for example), it is often required to know what the power
costs are from userspace.
For this reason, introduce under /sys/kernel/debug/energy_model a set of
directories representing the performance domains of the system. Each
performance domain contains a set of sub-directories representing the
different capacity states (cs) and their attributes, as well as a file
exposing the related CPUs.
The resulting hierarchy is as follows on Arm juno r0 for example:
/sys/kernel/debug/energy_model

Several subsystems in the kernel (task scheduler and/or thermal at the
time of writing) can benefit from knowing about the energy consumed by
CPUs. Yet, this information can come from different sources (DT or
firmware for example), in different formats, hence making it hard to
exploit without a standard API.
As an attempt to address this, introduce a centralized Energy Model
(EM) management framework which aggregates the power values provided
by drivers into a table for each performance domain in the system. The
power cost tables are made available to interested clients (e.g. task
scheduler or thermal) via platform-agnostic APIs. The overall design
is represented by the diagram below (focused on Arm-related drivers as
an example, but applicable to any architecture):
+---------------+ +-----------------+ +-------------+
| Thermal (IPA) | | Scheduler (EAS) | | Other |
+---------------+ +-----------------+ +-------------+
| | em_pd_energy() |
| | em_cpu_get() |
+-----------+ | +--------+
| | |
v v v
+---------------------+
| |
| Energy Model |
| |
| Framework |

+---------------------+
^ ^ ^
| | | em_register_perf_domain()
+----------+ | +---------+
| | |
+---------------+ +---------------+ +--------------+
| cpufreq-dt | | arm_scmi | | Other |
+---------------+ +---------------+ +--------------+
^ ^ ^
| | |
+--------------+ +---------------+ +--------------+
| Device Tree | | Firmware | | ? |
+--------------+ +---------------+ +--------------+
Drivers (typically, but not limited to, CPUFreq drivers) can register
data in the EM framework using the em_register_perf_domain() API. The
calling driver must provide a callback function with a standardized
signature that will be used by the EM framework to build the power
cost tables of the performance domain. This design should offer a lot of
flexibility to calling drivers which are free of reading information
from any location and to use any technique to compute power costs.
Moreover, the capacity states registered by drivers in the EM framework
are not required to match real performance states of the target. This
is particularly important on targets where the performance states are
not known by the OS.
The power cost coefficients managed by the EM framework are specified in
milli-watts. Although the two potential users of those coefficients (IPA
and EAS) only need relative correctness, IPA specifically needs to
compare the power of CPUs with the power of other components (GPUs, for
example), which are still expressed in absolute terms in their
respective subsystems. Hence, specifying the power of CPUs in
milli-watts should help transitioning IPA to using the EM framework
without introducing new problems by keeping units comparable across
sub-systems.
On the longer term, the EM of other devices than CPUs could also be
managed by the EM framework, which would enable to remove the absolute
unit. However, this is not absolutely required as a first step, so this
extension of the EM framework is left for later.
On the client side, the EM framework offers APIs to access the power
cost tables of a CPU (em_cpu_get()), and to estimate the energy
consumed by the CPUs of a performance domain (em_pd_energy()). Clients
such as the task scheduler can then use these APIs to access the shared
data structures holding the Energy Model of CPUs.
