Introduce core voltage scaling for NVIDIA Tegra20/30 SoCs, which reduces
power consumption and heating of the Tegra chips. Tegra SoC has multiple
hardware units which belong to a core power domain of the SoC and share
the core voltage. The voltage must be selected in accordance to a minimum
requirement of every core hardware unit.

The minimum core voltage requirement depends on:

  1. Clock enable state of a hardware unit.
  2. Clock frequency.
  3. Unit's internal idling/active state.

This series is tested on Acer A500 (T20), AC100 (T20), Nexus 7 (T30) and
Ouya (T30) devices. I also added voltage scaling to the Ventana (T20) and
Cardhu (T30) boards which are tested by NVIDIA's CI farm. Tegra30 is now up
to 5C cooler on Nexus 7 and stays cool on Ouya (instead of becoming burning
hot) while system is idling. It should be possible to improve this further
by implementing a more advanced power management features for the kernel
drivers.

The DVFS support is opt-in for all boards, meaning that older DTBs will
continue to work like they did it before this series. It should be possible
to easily add the core voltage scaling support for Tegra114+ SoCs based on
this grounding work later on, if anyone will want to implement it.

WARNING(!) This series is made on top of the memory interconnect patches
           which are currently under review [1]. The Tegra EMC driver
           and devicetree-related patches need to be applied on top of
           the ICC series.

Just looked briefly through the series - it looks like there is a lot of
code duplication in *_init_opp_table() functions. Could this be made
more generic / data-driven?

I need some more time to review this, but just a quick check found a
few potential issues...

The "core-supply", that you specify as a regulator for each
controller's device node, is not the way we describe power domains.
Instead, it seems like you should register a power-domain provider
(with the help of genpd) and implement the ->set_performance_state()
callback for it. Each device node should then be hooked up to this
power-domain, rather than to a "core-supply". For DT bindings, please
have a look at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/power-domain.yaml
and Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/power_domain.txt.

In regards to the "sync state" problem (preventing to change
performance states until all consumers have been attached), this can
then be managed by the genpd provider driver instead.

Kind regards
Uffe

So you need to get an OPP table to put one :)
You need to save the pointer returned by dev_pm_opp_set_regulators() instead.

Nice. I didn't think that someone will end up abusing this API and so made it
available for all, but someone just did that. I will fix that in the OPP core.

Any idea why you are doing what you are doing here ?

Thanks Ulf. I found a bug in OPP core because you cc'd me here :)

Maybe I misunderstood your comment here, but there are two ways of
scaling the voltage of a device depending on if it is a regulator (and
can be modeled as one in the kernel) or a power domain.

In case of Qcom earlier (when we added the performance-state stuff),
the eventual hardware was out of kernel's control and we didn't wanted
(allowed) to model it as a virtual regulator just to pass the votes to
the RPM. And so we did what we did.

But if the hardware (where the voltage is required to be changed) is
indeed a regulator and is modeled as one, then what Dmitry has done
looks okay. i.e. add a supply in the device's node and microvolt
property in the DT entries.

I am not objecting about scaling the voltage through a regulator,
that's fine to me. However, encoding a power domain as a regulator
(even if it may seem like a regulator) isn't. Well, unless Mark Brown
has changed his mind about this.

In this case, it seems like the regulator supply belongs in the
description of the power domain provider.

I guess I haven't paid enough attention how power domain regulators
are being described then. I was under the impression that the CPUfreq
case was a bit specific - and we had legacy bindings to stick with.

Can you point me to some other existing examples of where power domain
regulators are specified as a regulator in each device's node?

Kind regards

Okay, I wasn't sure if it is a power domain or a regulator here. Btw,
how do we identify if it is a power domain or a regulator ?

No, I thought it is a regulator here and not a power domain.

Good question. It's not a crystal clear line in between them, I think.

A power domain to me, means that some part of a silicon (a group of
controllers or just a single piece, for example) needs some kind of
resource (typically a power rail) to be enabled to be functional, to
start with. If there are operating points involved, that's also a
clear indication to me, that it's not a regular regulator.

Maybe we should try to specify this more exactly in some
documentation, somewhere.

To be honest, I was a bit afraid and embarrassed to ask this question,
and was hoping people to make fun of me in return :)

Isn't this what a part of regulator does as well ? i.e.
enabling/disabling of the regulator or power to a group of
controllers.

Over that the regulator does voltage/current scaling as well, which
normally the power domains don't do (though we did that in
performance-state case).

Is there any example of that? I hope by OPP you meant both freq and
voltage here. I am not sure if I know of a case where a power domain
handles both of them.

> Maybe we should try to specify this more exactly in some
> documentation, somewhere.

I think yes, it is very much required. And in absence of that I think,
many (or most) of the platforms that also need to scale the voltage
would have modeled their hardware as a regulator and not a PM domain.

What I always thought was:

- Module that can just enable/disable power to a block of SoC is a
  power domain.

- Module that can enable/disable as well as scale voltage is a
  regulator.

And so I thought that this patchset has done the right thing. This
changed a bit with the qcom stuff where the IP to be configured was in
control of RPM and not Linux and so we couldn't add it as a regulator.
If it was controlled by Linux, it would have been a regulator in
kernel for sure :)

It could, but it shouldn't.

It may be both voltage and frequency - but in some cases only voltage.

Indeed, it should be possible to add a common helper. I had a quick
thought about doing it too, but then decided to defer for the starter
since there were some differences among the needs of the drivers. I'll
take a closer look for the v2, thanks!

This is intentional because why do we need to save the pointer if we're
not using it and we know that we could get this pointer using OPP API?
This is exactly the same what I did for the CPUFreq driver [1] :)

The dev_pm_opp_put_regulators() handles the case where regulator is
missing by acting as dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table(), but the
dev_pm_opp_set_regulators() doesn't do it. Hence I don't think this is
an abuse, but the OPP API drawback.

> Any idea why you are doing what you are doing here ?

Two reasons:

1. Voltage regulator is optional, but dev_pm_opp_set_regulators()
doesn't support optional regulators.

2. We need to balance the opp_table refcount in order to use OPP API
without polluting code with if(have_regulator), hence the
dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table() is needed for taking the opp_table reference
to have the same refcount as in the case of the dev_pm_opp_set_regulators().

I guess we could make dev_pm_opp_set_regulators(dev, count) to accept
regulators count=0 and then act as dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table(dev), will
it be acceptable?

I'll need to take a closer look at GENPD, thank you for the suggestion.

Sounds like a software GENPD driver which manages clocks and voltages
could be a good idea, but it also could be an unnecessary
over-engineering. Let's see..

Because it is highly inefficient and it doesn't follow the rules set
by the OPP core. Hypothetically speaking, the OPP core is free to
allocate the OPP table structure as much as it wants, and if you don't
use the value returned back to you earlier (think of it as a cookie
assigned to your driver), then it will eventually lead to memory leak.

> This is exactly the same what I did for the CPUFreq driver [1] :)

I will strongly suggest you to save the pointer here and do the same
in the cpufreq driver as well.

To make it further clear, this will end up allocating an OPP table for
you, which it shouldn't have.

To be fair, I allowed the cpufreq-dt driver to abuse it too, which I
am going to fix shortly.

I am not sure what you meant here. Normally you are required to call
dev_pm_opp_put_regulators() only if you have called
dev_pm_opp_set_regulators() earlier. And the refcount stays in
balance.

I am going to send a patchset shortly after which this call to
dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table() will fail, if it is called before adding
the OPP table.

Setting regulators for count as 0 doesn't sound good to me.

But, I understand that you don't want to have that if (have_regulator)
check, and it is a fair request. What I will instead do is, allow all
dev_pm_opp_put*() API to start accepting a NULL pointer for the OPP
table and fail silently. And so you won't be required to have this
unwanted check. But you will be required to save the pointer returned
back by dev_pm_opp_set_regulators(), which is the right thing to do
anyways.

Hello Ulf and all,

I took a detailed look at the GENPD and tried to implement it. Here is
what was found:

1. GENPD framework doesn't aggregate performance requests from the
attached devices. This means that if deviceA requests performance state
10 and then deviceB requests state 3, then framework will set domain's
state to 3 instead of 10.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.10-rc2/source/drivers/base/power/domain.c#L376

2. GENPD framework has a sync() callback in the genpd.domain structure,
but this callback isn't allowed to be used by the GENPD implementation.
The GENPD framework always overrides that callback for its own needs.
Hence GENPD doesn't allow to solve the bootstrapping
state-synchronization problem in a nice way.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.10-rc2/source/drivers/base/power/domain.c#L2606

3. Tegra doesn't have a dedicated hardware power-controller for the core
domain, instead there is only an external voltage regulator. Hence we
will need to create a phony device-tree node for the virtual power
domain, which is probably a wrong thing to do.

===

Perhaps it should be possible to create some hacks to work around
bullets 2 and 3 in order to achieve what we need for DVFS on Tegra, but
bullet 1 isn't solvable without changing how the GENPD core works.

Altogether, the GENPD in its current form is a wrong abstraction for a
system-wide DVFS in a case where multiple devices share power domain and
this domain is a voltage regulator. The regulator framework is the
correct abstraction in this case for today.

Sure if there are enough users of this, I am all for it. I was fine
with the patches you sent, just that there were not a lot of users of
it and so I pushed them back. If we find that we have more users of it
now, we can surely get that back.

There was already attempt to add the devm? Could you please give me a
link to the patches?

I already prepared a patch which adds the devm helpers. It helps to keep
code cleaner and readable.

If a non-hardware device-tree node is okay to have for the domain, then
I can try again.

What I also haven't mentioned is that GENPD adds some extra complexity
to some drivers (3d, video decoder) because we will need to handle both
new GENPD and legacy Tegra specific pre-genpd era domains.

I'm also not exactly sure how the topology of domains should look like
because Tegra has a power-controller (PMC) which manages power rail of a
few hardware units. Perhaps it should be

  device -> PMC domain -> CORE domain

but not exactly sure for now.

Thanks, I made it in a different way by simply adding helpers to the
pm_opp.h which use devm_add_action_or_reset(). This doesn't require to
add new kernel symbols.

static inline int devm_pm_opp_of_add_table(struct device *dev)
{
	int err;

	err = dev_pm_opp_of_add_table(dev);
	if (err)
		return err;

	err = devm_add_action_or_reset(dev, (void*)dev_pm_opp_remove_table,
				       dev);
	if (err)
		return err;

	return 0;
}

All current non-CPU drivers (devfreq, mmc, memory, etc) can benefit from it.

For Tegra drivers we need these variants:

devm_pm_opp_set_supported_hw()
devm_pm_opp_set_regulators() [if we won't use GENPD]
devm_pm_opp_set_clkname()
devm_pm_opp_of_add_table()

I tried to look earlier for the stuff already merged in and didn't
find a lot of stuff where the devm_* could be used, maybe I missed
some of it.

Frank, would you like to refresh your series based on suggestions from
Dmitry and make other drivers adapt to the new APIs ?

This is a potentially heavy operation, so I think we should avoid that
here. How about you use devm_regulator_get_optional() in ->probe()? That
returns -ENODEV if no regulator was specified, in which case you can set
dc->core_reg = NULL and use that as the condition here.

Also, I'd prefer if the flow here was more linear, such as:

	if (dc->core_reg) {
		err = regulator_set_voltage(...);
		...
	}

"Legacy" is a bit confusing here. For one, no device trees currently
have these tables and secondly, for newer SoCs we may never need them.

What's the point of this? A more canonical version would be:

	if (IS_ERR(hw_opp_table)) {
		err = PTR_ERR(hw_opp_table);
		dev_err(dc->dev, ...);
		goto put_table;
	}

That uses the same number of lines but is much easier to read, in my
opinion, because it is the canonical form.

Do these functions return positive values? If not, I'd prefer if this
check was more explicit (i.e. err < 0) for consistency with the rest of
this code.

We typically use a _supply suffix on regulators to avoid confusing this
with "register".

This is unfortunate. I recall having this discussion multiple times and
one idea that has been floating around for a while was to let a driver
bind against the top-level "bus" node. That has the advantage that it
both anchors the code somewhere, so we don't have to play this game of
checking for the SoC with soc_is_tegra(), and it properly orders this
with respect to the child devices, so we wouldn't have to make this a
postcore_initcall.

Might be worth looking at that again, but for now this seems okay.

These two functions seem to be heavily boilerplate across all these
drivers. Have you considered splitting these out into separate helpers?

Good point! I think there is actually an of_node_put() bug in current

I already changed that code to use regulator_get_optional() for v2.

Regarding the enumerating supported voltage.. I think this should be
done by the OPP core, but regulator core doesn't work well if
regulator_get() is invoked more than one time for the same device, at
least there is a loud debugfs warning about an already existing
directory for a regulator. It's easy to check whether the debug
directory exists before creating it, like thermal framework does it for
example, but then there were some other more difficult issues.. I don't
recall what they were right now. Perhaps will be easier to simply get a
error from regulator_set_voltage() for now because it shouldn't ever
happen in practice, unless device-tree has wrong constraints.

Isn't it the other way around?  It's only when the check is explicitly
for "if (ret < 0)" that we have to wonder about positives. If the codes
says "if (ret)" then we know that it doesn't return positive values and
every non-zero is an error.

In the kernel "if (ret)" is way more popular than "if (ret < 0)":

    $ git grep 'if (\(ret\|rc\|err\))' | wc -l
    92927
    $ git grep 'if (\(ret\|rc\|err\) < 0)' | wc -l
    36577

And some of those are places where "ret" can be positive so we are
forced to use the "if (ret < 0)" format.

Checking for "if (ret)" is easier from a static analysis perspective.
If it's one style is used consistently then they're the same but when
there is a mismatch the "if (ret < 0) " will trigger a false positive
and the "if (ret) " will not.

	int var;

	ret = frob(&var);
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;

Smatch thinks positive returns are not handled so it complains that
"var can be uninitialized".

As Viresh also stated, genpd does aggregate the votes. It even
performs aggregation hierarchy (a genpd is allowed to have parent(s)
to model a topology).

That ->sync() callback isn't the callback you are looking for, it's a
PM domain specific callback - and has other purposes.

To solve the problem you refer to, your genpd provider driver (a
platform driver) should assign its ->sync_state() callback. The
->sync_state() callback will be invoked, when all consumer devices
have been attached (and probed) to their corresponding provider.

You may have a look at drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle-psci-domain.c, to see
an example of how this works. If there is anything unclear, just tell
me and I will try to help.

No, this is absolutely the correct thing to do.

This isn't a virtual power domain, it's a real power domain. You only
happen to model the control of it as a regulator, as it fits nicely
with that for *this* SoC. Don't get me wrong, that's fine as long as
the supply is specified only in the power-domain provider node.

On another SoC, you might have a different FW interface for the power
domain provider that doesn't fit well with the regulator. When that
happens, all you need to do is to implement a new power domain
provider and potentially re-define the power domain topology. More
importantly, you don't need to re-invent yet another slew of device
specific bindings - for each SoC.

Well, I admit it's a bit complex. But it solves the problem in a
nicely abstracted way that should work for everybody, at least in my
opinion.

Although, let's not exclude that there are pieces missing in genpd or
the opp layer, as this DVFS feature is rather new - but then we should
just extend/fix it.

That doesn't look entirely appropriate given that the core does most

I don't understand why this would be an issue - if nothing else the core

The constraints might not be wrong, there might be some board which has
a constraint somewhere for

We will need to do this because older DTBs won't have that regulator and
we want to keep them working.

Also, some device-trees won't have that regulator anyways because board
schematics isn't available, and thus, we can't fix them.

It's not an issue, I just described what happens when device driver
tries to get a regulator twice.

There was an issue once that check is added to the regulator core code.
But perhaps not worth to discuss it for now because I don't remember
details.

In this case board's DT shouldn't specify unsupportable OPPs.

Indeed, thank you for the clarification. This variant works well.

The OPP framework supports both voltage regulator and power domain,
hiding the implementation details from drivers. This means that OPP API
usage will be the same regardless of what approach (regulator or power
domain) is used for a particular SoC.

Will be nice to have a per-device GENPD performance stats.

Thierry, could you please let me know what do you think about replacing
regulator with the power domain? Do you think it's a worthwhile change?

The difference in comparison to using voltage regulator directly is
minimal, basically the core-supply phandle is replaced is replaced with
a power-domain phandle in a device tree.

The only thing which makes me feel a bit uncomfortable is that there is
no real hardware node for the power domain node in a device-tree.

But how driver is supposed to recognize that it's a dummy or buggy
regulator if it rejects all voltages?

My point here is that the driver shouldn't be checking for a dummy
regulator, the driver should be checking the features that are provided
to it by the regulator and handling those.  It doesn't matter if this is
a dummy regulator or an actual regulator with limited features, the
effect is the same and the handling should be the same.  If the driver
is doing anything to handle dummy regulators explicitly as dummy
regulators it is doing it wrong.

If you're fine with that you should also be fine with any other
regulator for which you failed to enumerate any voltages which you can
set.

To repeat you should *only* be using regulator_get_optional() in the
case where the supply may be physically absent which is not the case
here.

No, you are failing to understand the purpose of this code.  To
reiterate unless the device supports operating with the supply
physically absent then the driver should not be attempting to use
regulator_get_optional().  That exists specifically for the case where
the supply may be absent, nothing else.  The dummy regulator is there
precisely for the case where the system does not describe supplies that
we know are required for the device to function, it fixes up that
omission so we don't need to open code handling of this in every single
consumer driver.

Regulators that are present but not described by the firmware are a
clearly different case to regulators that are not physically there,
hardware with actually optional regulators will generally require some
configuration for this case.

The original intention of regulator_get_optional() is clear to me, but
nothing really stops drivers from slightly re-purposing this API, IMO.

Drivers should be free to assume that if regulator isn't defined by
firmware, then it's physically absent if this doesn't break anything. Of
course in some cases it's unsafe to make such assumptions. I think it's
a bit unpractical to artificially limit API usage without a good reason,
i.e. if nothing breaks underneath of a driver.

I have good news. After spending some more time on trying out different
things, I found that my previous assumption about the fixed-regulator
was wrong, it actually accepts voltage changes, i.e. regulator consumer
doesn't get a error on a voltage-change. This is exactly what is needed
for the OPP core to work properly.

This means that there is no need to add special quirks to work around
absent regulators, we will just add a fixed regulator to the DTs which
don't specify a real regulator. The OPP core will perform voltage
checking and filter out unsupported OPPs. The older DTBs will continue
to work as well.

If the supply can be physically absent without breaking anything then
this is the intended use case for optional regulators.  This is a *very*
uncommon.

To be clear when you set a voltage range you will get the minimum
voltage that can be supported within that range on the system given all
the other constraints the system has.  For fixed voltage regulators or
regulators constraints to not change voltage this means that if whatever
voltage they are fixed at is in the range requested then the API will
report success.

Hello Mark,

Could you please hold on this patch? It won't be needed in a v2, which
will use power domains.

Also, I'm not sure whether the "sound" tree is suitable for any of the
patches in this series.

It didn't actually get applied (note the "no commit info") - it looks
like b4's matching code got confused and decided to generate mails for
anything that I've ever downloaded and not posted.

Frank,

Dmitry has submitted a series with a patch that does stuff like this since you
never resent your patches.

http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201217180638.22748-14-digetx@gmail.com

Since you were the first one to get to this, I would still like to
give you a chance
to get these patches merged under your authorship, otherwise I would be going
to pick patches from Dmitry.
