cppc 动态调频

CPPC 的全称是Collaborative Processor Performance Control
CPC 的全称是Per cpu table called
cppc是bios提供的一组acpi表，用于设置cpu的频率，这组acpi 表如下：
/*
 * An example CPC table looks like the following.
 *
 *	Name(_CPC, Package()
 *			{
 *			17,
 *			NumEntries
 *			1,
 *			// Revision
 *			ResourceTemplate(){Register(PCC, 32, 0, 0x120, 2)},
 *			// Highest Performance
 *			ResourceTemplate(){Register(PCC, 32, 0, 0x124, 2)},
 *			// Nominal Performance
 *			ResourceTemplate(){Register(PCC, 32, 0, 0x128, 2)},
 *			// Lowest Nonlinear Performance
 *			ResourceTemplate(){Register(PCC, 32, 0, 0x12C, 2)},
 *			// Lowest Performance
 *			ResourceTemplate(){Register(PCC, 32, 0, 0x130, 2)},
 *			// Guaranteed Performance Register
 *			ResourceTemplate(){Register(PCC, 32, 0, 0x110, 2)},
 *			// Desired Performance Register
 *			ResourceTemplate(){Register(SystemMemory, 0, 0, 0, 0)},
 *			..
 *			..
 *			..
 *
 *		}
 * Each Register() encodes how to access that specific register.
 * e.g. a sample PCC entry has the following encoding:
 *
 *	Register (
 *		PCC,
 *		AddressSpaceKeyword
 *		8,
 *		//RegisterBitWidth
 *		8,
 *		//RegisterBitOffset
 *		0x30,
 *		//RegisterAddress
 *		9
 *		//AccessSize (subspace ID)
 *		0
 *		)
 *	}

acpi 表中的每一项表达的含义上面也解释了，那cppc 表具体要怎么工作呢？
具体是在driver/cpufreq/cppc_freq.c中
这里的cppc_cpufreq_init是入口函数，这个函数向cpufreq的framework注册了一个可以调频的cpu driver
static int __init cppc_cpufreq_init(void)
{

	ret = cpufreq_register_driver(&cppc_cpufreq_driver);
	if (ret)
		goto out;
}
static struct cpufreq_driver cppc_cpufreq_driver = {
	.flags = CPUFREQ_CONST_LOOPS,
	.verify = cppc_verify_policy,
	.target = cppc_cpufreq_set_target,
	.get = cppc_cpufreq_get_rate,
	.init = cppc_cpufreq_cpu_init,
	.stop_cpu = cppc_cpufreq_stop_cpu,
	.name = "cppc_cpufreq",
};
cppc_cpufreq_driver 最终的函数就是target，最终cpu调频就是通过target 这个回调函数来实现
static int cppc_cpufreq_set_target(struct cpufreq_policy *policy,
		unsigned int target_freq,
		unsigned int relation)
{
	struct cppc_cpudata *cpu;
	struct cpufreq_freqs freqs;
	u32 desired_perf;
	int ret = 0;

	cpu = all_cpu_data[policy->cpu];
#得到要设置的频率
	desired_perf = cppc_cpufreq_khz_to_perf(cpu, target_freq);
	/* Return if it is exactly the same perf */
	if (desired_perf == cpu->perf_ctrls.desired_perf)
		return ret;

	cpu->perf_ctrls.desired_perf = desired_perf;
	freqs.old = policy->cur;
	freqs.new = target_freq;

	cpufreq_freq_transition_begin(policy, &freqs);
#通过acpi 提供的的接口来设置cpu 频率
	ret = cppc_set_perf(cpu->cpu, &cpu->perf_ctrls);
	cpufreq_freq_transition_end(policy, &freqs, ret != 0);

	if (ret)
		pr_debug("Failed to set target on CPU:%d. ret:%d\n",
				cpu->cpu, ret);

	return ret;
}

这里的cppc_set_perf实现在driver/acpi/cppc_acpi.c中实现，通过这个接口就可以通过固件来设置cpu 频率.
