I don't think that you can convincingly establish a cause-and-effect relationship between not taking scheduling information into account and overestimating the idle duration. It would be just fine to say something like "They also tend to overestimate the idle duration quite often, which causes them to select excessively deep idle states, which leads to ...". > At the same time, on some platforms C0 can be power efficient enough to warrant > wanting to prefer it over C1. If you say C0 or C1, a casual reader may think about x86 which probably is not your intention. I would say "idle state 0" and "idle state 1" instead. I would also say that this is on systems where idle state 0 is not a polling state. > This is because the power usage of the two states > can be so close that sufficient amounts of too deep C1 sleeps can completely > offset the C1 power saving to the point where it would've been more power > efficient to just use C0 instead. > > Sleeps that happened in C0 while they could have used C1 ('too shallow') only > save less power than they otherwise could have.

I don't think that the above paragraphs, while generally true, are relevant for what the patch really does. They would have been relevant if the patch had improved the energy-efficiency, but it doesn't. It sacrifices energy for performance by reducing the CPU wakeup latency. > This patch specifically tunes TEO to minimise too deep sleeps and minimise > latency to achieve better performance. I'm not sure if you can demonstrate that the number of "too deep sleeps" is really reduced in all cases, but the reduction of latency is readily demonstrable, so I would focus on that part. > To this end, before selecting the next > idle state it uses the avg_util signal of a CPU's runqueue in order to determine > to what extent the CPU is being utilized.

This is tough topic to prove this correctly, good for some PhD studies. There is some correlation which we see in the results and measurements, though. An interesting topic to study would be the CPU runqueue utilization signal nature, when the tasks sleep or migrate. We don't have time to study that signal nature over time and if that function matches some already discovered process and invented math theory, e.g. Erlang distribution or only exponential distribution... Your exponentially decaying statistics might fall into same bucket. > > It would be just fine to say something like "They also tend to > overestimate the idle duration quite often, which causes them to > select excessively deep idle states, which leads to ...".

I disagree. That's the patch improvement, precisely the threshold value of ~1.56% makes this trade-off. We more often prefer too shallow idle state 0. When you change that threshold to bigger value, you reduce this preference. > > They would have been relevant if the patch had improved the > energy-efficiency, but it doesn't. It sacrifices energy for > performance by reducing the CPU wakeup latency. I disagree. Let me clarify those results, because there is a lot of data I think you might miss some important bits. Kajetan has provided 4 benchmarks' test results, which are really comprehensive. A. There are 2 benchmarks 'performance-first', so we want better score, *no matter the energy cost* (Geekbench 5 and Speedometer). The Geekbench5 is most important since a lot of people check it before buying a phone. For this benchmark TEO was an issue as you can see: multicore score TEO vs TEO_util: 2764.8 vs. 2865 which is ~3.5% improvement, trust me it's a lot. B. There are 2 benchmarks trying to reflect 'normal usage' of a phone: - PCMark Web Browsing score TEO vs. TEO_util 5219.8 vs. 5239.9 ---> better score avg power 184.8 vs. 184.1 mW ---> lower power, better - Jankbench score TEO vs. TEO_util (lower janky frames percentage is better) 2.1% vs. 1.3% ---> better score avg power 136.9 mW vs. 121.3 mW ----> lower power, better The results in B. show that it doesn't sacrifice energy for performance. We were able to reduce the avg power while even improving the score results. It would lead to lower energy for the whole test. You might ask: how is this possible? Or HW design has evolved and made the idle state 0 very attractive (reducing more and more power). This created a potential new area to explore which was in my head for quite a long. Kajetan was keen to explore that space and found many interesting behaviors there. Some background about energy and costs. Don't forget that to enter a deeper idle state you have to flush the caches gently, not just drop the data blindly. That will cost you some extra energy (you can drop instr. cache) (comparing to a situation when you don't have to do this and you keep the caches on). Then when you wakeup the CPU you have to load instr. and data into cache, which cost you another extra energy. If you have to do this to/from LPDDR, then it is ~10x bigger energy vs. some internal data passing (e.g. L3 -> L2). If you do this wrongly (that's what Kajetan is calling "too deep", which is a nice new metric IMO) then you will pay those two extra energy penalties and most likely not saving enough energy to compensate that loss. That's why you might wonder why choosing a deeper idle I couldn't save energy... That's the reason. > >> This patch specifically tunes TEO to minimise too deep sleeps and minimise >> latency to achieve better performance. > > I'm not sure if you can demonstrate that the number of "too deep > sleeps" is really reduced in all cases, but the reduction of latency > is readily demonstrable, so I would focus on that part.

Modern interactive systems, such as recent Android phones, tend to have power efficient shallow idle states. Selecting deeper idle states on a device while a latency-sensitive workload is running can adversely impact performance due to increased latency. Additionally, if the CPU wakes up from a deeper sleep before its target residency as is often the case, it results in a waste of energy on top of that. At the moment, all the available idle governors operate mainly based on their own past correctness metrics along with timer events without taking into account any scheduling information. Especially on interactive systems, this results in them frequently selecting a deeper idle state and then waking up before its target residency is hit, thus leading to increased wakeup latency and lower performance with no power saving. For 'menu' while web browsing on Android for instance, those types of wakeups ('too deep') account for over 24% of all wakeups. At the same time, on some platforms C0 can be power efficient enough to warrant wanting to prefer it over C1. This is because the power usage of the two states can be so close that sufficient amounts of too deep C1 sleeps can completely offset the C1 power saving to the point where it would've been more power efficient to just use C0 instead. Sleeps that happened in C0 while they could have used C1 ('too shallow') only save less power than they otherwise could have. Too deep sleeps, on the other hand, harm performance and nullify the potential power saving from using C1 in the first place. While taking this into account, it is clear that on balance it is preferable for an idle governor to have more too shallow sleeps instead of more too deep sleeps on those kinds of platforms. This patch specifically tunes TEO to minimise too deep sleeps and minimise latency to achieve better performance. To this end, before selecting the next idle state it uses the avg_util signal of a CPU's runqueue in order to determine to what extent the CPU is being utilized. This util value is then compared to a threshold defined as a percentage of the cpu's capacity (capacity >> 6 ie. ~1.5% in the current implementation). If the util is above the threshold, the idle state selected by TEO metrics will be reduced by 1, thus selecting a shallower state. If the util is below the threshold, the governor defaults to the TEO metrics mechanism to try to select the deepest available idle state based on the closest timer event and its own correctness. The main goal of this is to reduce latency and increase performance for some workloads. Under some workloads it will result in an increase in power usage (Geekbench 5) while for other workloads it will also result in a decrease in power usage compared to TEO (PCMark Web, Jankbench, Speedometer). It can provide drastically decreased latency and performance benefits in certain types of workloads that are sensitive to latency.
