Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle: mvebu: Update cpuidle thresholds for Armada XP SOCs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Originally, the thresholds used in the cpuidle driver for Armada SOCs
|
||
|
|
were temporarily chosen, leaving room for improvements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This commit updates the thresholds for the Armada XP SOCs with values
|
||
|
|
that positively impact performances:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
without patch with patch vendor kernel
|
||
|
|
- iperf localhost (gbit/sec) ~3.7 ~6.4 ~5.4
|
||
|
|
- ioping tmpfs (iops) ~163k ~206k ~179k
|
||
|
|
- ioping tmpfs (mib/s) ~636 ~805 ~699
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The idle power consumption is negatively impacted (proportionally less
|
||
|
|
than the performance gain), and we are still performing better than
|
||
|
|
the vendor kernel here:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
without patch with patch vendor kernel
|
||
|
|
- power consumption idle (W) ~2.4 ~3.2 ~4.4
|
||
|
|
- power consumption busy (W) ~8.6 ~8.3 ~8.6
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is still room for improvement regarding the value of these
|
||
|
|
thresholds, they were chosen to mimic the vendor kernel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This patch only impacts Armada XP SOCs and was tested on Online Labs
|
||
|
|
C1 boards. A similar approach can be taken to improve the performances
|
||
|
|
of the Armada 370 and Armada 38x SOCs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thanks a lot to Thomas Petazzoni, Gregory Clement and Willy Tarreau
|
||
|
|
for the discussions and tips around this topic.
