[RFC PATCH v3 5/5] thermal: cpufreq_cooling: Improve power estimation using Cpufreq Active Stats

From: Lukasz Luba
Date: Wed Apr 06 2022 - 18:08:54 EST


The cpufreq_cooling has dedicated APIs for thermal governor called
Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA). IPA needs the CPUs power used by the
devices in the past. Based on this, IPA tries to estimate the power
budget, allocate new budget and split it across cooling devices for the
next period (keeping the system in the thermal envelope). When the input
power estimated value has big error, the whole mechanism does not work
properly. The old power estimation assumes constant CPU frequency during
the whole IPA period (e.g. 100ms). This can cause big error in the power
estimation, especially when SchedUtil governor and Uclamp is used and
frequency is often adjusted to the current need. This can be visible in

Thus, introduce a new mechanism which solves the CPU frequency sampling
problem and missing proper residency. Use Cpufreq Active Stats calculate
the CPU power used for a given IPA period.
