2 | The OMAP PM interface | ||
3 | ===================== | ||
4 | |||
5 | This document describes the temporary OMAP PM interface. Driver | ||
6 | authors use these functions to communicate minimum latency or | ||
7 | throughput constraints to the kernel power management code. | ||
8 | Over time, the intention is to merge features from the OMAP PM | ||
9 | interface into the Linux PM QoS code. | ||
10 | |||
11 | Drivers need to express PM parameters which: | ||
12 | |||
13 | - support the range of power management parameters present in the TI SRF; | ||
14 | |||
15 | - separate the drivers from the underlying PM parameter | ||
16 | implementation, whether it is the TI SRF or Linux PM QoS or Linux | ||
17 | latency framework or something else; | ||
18 | |||
19 | - specify PM parameters in terms of fundamental units, such as | ||
20 | latency and throughput, rather than units which are specific to OMAP | ||
21 | or to particular OMAP variants; | ||
22 | |||
23 | - allow drivers which are shared with other architectures (e.g., | ||
24 | DaVinci) to add these constraints in a way which won't affect non-OMAP | ||
25 | systems, | ||
26 | |||
27 | - can be implemented immediately with minimal disruption of other | ||
28 | architectures. | ||
29 | |||
30 | |||
31 | This document proposes the OMAP PM interface, including the following | ||
32 | five power management functions for driver code: | ||
33 | |||
34 | 1. Set the maximum MPU wakeup latency: | ||
35 | (*pdata->set_max_mpu_wakeup_lat)(struct device *dev, unsigned long t) | ||
36 | |||
37 | 2. Set the maximum device wakeup latency: | ||
38 | (*pdata->set_max_dev_wakeup_lat)(struct device *dev, unsigned long t) | ||
39 | |||
40 | 3. Set the maximum system DMA transfer start latency (CORE pwrdm): | ||
41 | (*pdata->set_max_sdma_lat)(struct device *dev, long t) | ||
42 | |||
43 | 4. Set the minimum bus throughput needed by a device: | ||
44 | (*pdata->set_min_bus_tput)(struct device *dev, u8 agent_id, unsigned long r) | ||
45 | |||
46 | 5. Return the number of times the device has lost context | ||
47 | (*pdata->get_dev_context_loss_count)(struct device *dev) | ||
48 | |||
49 | |||
50 | Further documentation for all OMAP PM interface functions can be | ||
51 | found in arch/arm/plat-omap/include/mach/omap-pm.h. | ||
52 | |||
53 | |||
54 | The OMAP PM layer is intended to be temporary | ||
55 | --------------------------------------------- | ||
56 | |||
57 | The intention is that eventually the Linux PM QoS layer should support | ||
58 | the range of power management features present in OMAP3. As this | ||
59 | happens, existing drivers using the OMAP PM interface can be modified | ||
60 | to use the Linux PM QoS code; and the OMAP PM interface can disappear. | ||
61 | |||
62 | |||
63 | Driver usage of the OMAP PM functions | ||
64 | ------------------------------------- | ||
65 | |||
66 | As the 'pdata' in the above examples indicates, these functions are | ||
67 | exposed to drivers through function pointers in driver .platform_data | ||
68 | structures. The function pointers are initialized by the board-*.c | ||
69 | files to point to the corresponding OMAP PM functions: | ||
70 | .set_max_dev_wakeup_lat will point to | ||
71 | omap_pm_set_max_dev_wakeup_lat(), etc. Other architectures which do | ||
72 | not support these functions should leave these function pointers set | ||
73 | to NULL. Drivers should use the following idiom: | ||
74 | |||
75 | if (pdata->set_max_dev_wakeup_lat) | ||
76 | (*pdata->set_max_dev_wakeup_lat)(dev, t); | ||
77 | |||
78 | The most common usage of these functions will probably be to specify | ||
79 | the maximum time from when an interrupt occurs, to when the device | ||
80 | becomes accessible. To accomplish this, driver writers should use the | ||
81 | set_max_mpu_wakeup_lat() function to to constrain the MPU wakeup | ||
82 | latency, and the set_max_dev_wakeup_lat() function to constrain the | ||
83 | device wakeup latency (from clk_enable() to accessibility). For | ||
84 | example, | ||
85 | |||
86 | /* Limit MPU wakeup latency */ | ||
87 | if (pdata->set_max_mpu_wakeup_lat) | ||
88 | (*pdata->set_max_mpu_wakeup_lat)(dev, tc); | ||
89 | |||
90 | /* Limit device powerdomain wakeup latency */ | ||
91 | if (pdata->set_max_dev_wakeup_lat) | ||
92 | (*pdata->set_max_dev_wakeup_lat)(dev, td); | ||
93 | |||
94 | /* total wakeup latency in this example: (tc + td) */ | ||
95 | |||
96 | The PM parameters can be overwritten by calling the function again | ||
97 | with the new value. The settings can be removed by calling the | ||
98 | function with a t argument of -1 (except in the case of | ||
99 | set_max_bus_tput(), which should be called with an r argument of 0). | ||
100 | |||
101 | The fifth function above, omap_pm_get_dev_context_loss_count(), | ||
102 | is intended as an optimization to allow drivers to determine whether the | ||
103 | device has lost its internal context. If context has been lost, the | ||
104 | driver must restore its internal context before proceeding. | ||
105 | |||
106 | |||
107 | Other specialized interface functions | ||
108 | ------------------------------------- | ||
109 | |||
110 | The five functions listed above are intended to be usable by any | ||
111 | device driver. DSPBridge and CPUFreq have a few special requirements. | ||
112 | DSPBridge expresses target DSP performance levels in terms of OPP IDs. | ||
113 | CPUFreq expresses target MPU performance levels in terms of MPU | ||
114 | frequency. The OMAP PM interface contains functions for these | ||
115 | specialized cases to convert that input information (OPPs/MPU | ||
116 | frequency) into the form that the underlying power management | ||
117 | implementation needs: | ||
118 | |||
119 | 6. (*pdata->dsp_get_opp_table)(void) | ||
120 | |||
121 | 7. (*pdata->dsp_set_min_opp)(u8 opp_id) | ||
122 | |||
123 | 8. (*pdata->dsp_get_opp)(void) | ||
124 | |||
125 | 9. (*pdata->cpu_get_freq_table)(void) | ||
126 | |||
127 | 10. (*pdata->cpu_set_freq)(unsigned long f) | ||
128 | |||
129 | 11. (*pdata->cpu_get_freq)(void) | ||
