We do this for all the other update_foo_load_avg() functions (foo eq. irq, rt_rq, dl_rq ...) You don't have to pass 'u64 now', so you can hide it plus the sched_thermal_decay_coeff add-on within update_thermal_load_avg(). (Similar to update_irq_load_avg()). You could even hide 'u64 capacity' in it. So we save one function layer (trigger_thermal_pressure_average()), thermal becomes more aligned with the other PELT users when it comes to call-sites and we have less code for this feature.

You do need it for the ___update_load_sum() call inside the foo_load_avg() functions. But that doesn't mean you have to pass it into foo_load_avg(). Look at update_irq_load_avg() for example.

Just so the functions have the the same parameters? That's the default behavior to keep all pelt function to behave similarly and keep outside what is not strictly related to pelt so it will ease any further modification sched_thermal_decay_coeff is not a pelt parameter but a thermal one irq_avg is an exception not the default behavior to follow > > In this case you could argue that update_irq_load_avg() has to pass in > rq->clock as now. > > >> -int update_thermal_load_avg(u64 now, struct rq *rq, u64 capacity) > >> +extern int sched_thermal_decay_coeff; > >> + > >> +int update_thermal_load_avg(struct rq *rq, u64 capacity) > >> { > >> + u64 now = rq_clock_task(rq) >> sched_thermal_decay_coeff; > >> + > >> if (___update_load_sum(now, &rq->avg_thermal, > >> capacity, > >> capacity,

Add thermal.c and thermal.h files that provides interface APIs to initialize, update/average, track, accumulate and decay thermal pressure per cpu basis. A per cpu variable delta_capacity is introduced to keep track of instantaneous per cpu thermal pressure. Thermal pressure is the delta between maximum capacity and capped capacity due to a thermal event. API trigger_thermal_pressure_average is called for periodic accumulate and decay of the thermal pressure. It is to to be called from a periodic tick function. This API passes on the instantaneous delta capacity of a cpu to update_thermal_load_avg to do the necessary accumulate, decay and average. API update_thermal_pressure is for the system to update the thermal pressure by providing a capped frequency ratio. Considering, trigger_thermal_pressure_average reads delta_capacity and update_thermal_pressure writes into delta_capacity, one can argue for some sort of locking mechanism to avoid a stale value. But considering trigger_thermal_pressure_average can be called from a system critical path like scheduler tick function, a locking mechanism is not ideal. This means that it is possible the delta_capacity value used to calculate average thermal pressure for a cpu can be stale for upto 1 tick period. Signed-off-by: Thara Gopinath <thara.gopinath@linaro.org> --- v3->v4: - Dropped per cpu max_capacity_info struct and instead added a per delta_capacity variable to store the delta between maximum capacity and capped capacity. The delta is now calculated when thermal pressure is updated and not every tick. - Dropped populate_max_capacity_info api as only per cpu delta capacity is stored. - Renamed update_periodic_maxcap to trigger_thermal_pressure_average and update_maxcap_capacity to update_thermal_pressure. include/linux/sched.h | 8 ++++++++ kernel/sched/Makefile | 2 +- kernel/sched/thermal.c | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kernel/sched/thermal.h | 13 +++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 67 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 kernel/sched/thermal.c create mode 100644 kernel/sched/thermal.h -- 2.1.4
