csdn 第一篇

开始尝试写一些工作和学习的东西，从事linux底层开发有一年光景了，从硬件到软件的角色转变，感觉自己喜欢上了这个职业，开始为之添砖加瓦。

最近在学习marvell平台上的ipm机制，打算把学习的心得总结一下。

IPM 在linux上的总体思路为，在用户空间建立一个policy maker，负责收集整个系统的电源信息以并控制更改系统电源状态，调频调压，实现系统动态功耗最小

有如下几个模块负责向policy maker提供信息，idle profiler、perf profiler 、device driver and Applications

  • Profilers periodically report the system utilization

information to Policy Maker.

• Device drivers inform Policy Maker the requirements of

operation point.

• Applications inform Policy Maker the requirements of

system performance.

• Policy Maker makes decision on operation point change,

and call MSPM driver for operation

– MSPM driver query every registered devices whether they are ready

for operation point change, if ready, then change operation point

change.

• Policy Maker makes decision on low power mode, and

system power mode management for operation

 Init policy manager communicate system

int IPMServerInitComm(void) {  int s_fd; #ifdef IPM_SOCKET_COM  struct sockaddr_in ServAddr;

 /* Create socket for sending/receiving datagrams */  if ((s_fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0)) < 0) {   fprintf(stderr, "get socket error:%s./n", strerror(errno));   return -1;  } 

 /* Construct local address structure */  memset(&ServAddr, 0, sizeof(ServAddr));    ServAddr.sin_family = AF_INET;   ServAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(SERVER_IP);  ServAddr.sin_port = htons(PORT_NUM);

 /* Bind to the local address */  if (bind(s_fd, (struct sockaddr *) &ServAddr, sizeof(ServAddr)) < 0) {   fprintf(stderr, "socket bind error:%s/n", strerror(errno));   return -1;  }  #else  int ret;

 ret = mkfifo(PIPESERVER, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR|S_IRGRP|S_IWGRP|S_IROTH|S_IWOTH);  if (ret == -1) {   fprintf(stderr, "make pipe error:%s/n", strerror(errno));   return -1;  }  if ((s_fd = open(PIPESERVER,O_RDWR)) < 0) {   fprintf(stderr, "Open ioctl device file %s error./n", "pipe");   return -1;  } #endif  return s_fd;  }
