Table 1 lists 1.9x\n(3891/2048) as the Cortex-A15 vs Cortex-A7 performance ratio for the\nDhrystone benchmark.\n\nThe following platforms are affected once cpu-invariant accounting\nsupport is re-connected to the task scheduler:\n\narndale-octa, peach-pi, peach-pit, smdk5420\n\nThe patch has been tested on Samsung Chromebook 2 13\" (peach-pi, Exynos\n5800).\n\n$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpu_capacity\n1024\n1024\n1024\n1024\n389\n389\n389\n389\n\nThe Cortex-A15 vs Cortex-A7 performance ratio is 1024/389 = 2.63.\n\nThe values derived with the 'cpu_efficiency/clock-frequency dt property'\nsolution are:\n\n$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpu_capacity\n1535\n1535\n1535\n1535\n448\n448\n448\n448\n\nThe Cortex-A15 vs Cortex-A7 performance ratio is 1535/448 = 3.43.\n\nThe discrepancy between 2.63 and 3.43 is due to the false assumption\nwhen using the 'cpu_efficiency/clock-frequency dt property' solution\nthat the max cpu frequency of the little cpus is 1 GHZ and not 1.3 GHz.\nThe Cortex-A7 cluster runs with a max cpu frequency of 1.3 GHZ whereas\nthe 'clock-frequency' property value is set to 1 GHz.\n\n3.43/1.3 = 2.64\n\n$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq\n1800000\n1800000\n1800000\n1800000\n1300000 <-- max cpu frequency of the Cortex-A7s (little cores)\n1300000\n1300000\n1300000\n\nRunning another benchmark (single-threaded sysbench affine to the\nindividual cpus) with performance cpufreq governor on the Samsung\nChromebook 2 13\" showed the following numbers:\n\n$ for i in `seq 0 7`; do taskset -c $i sysbench --test=cpu\n --num-threads=1 --max-time=10 run | grep \"total number of events:\";\n done\n\ntotal number of events: 1083\ntotal number of events: 1085\ntotal number of events: 1085\ntotal number of events: 1085\ntotal number of events: 454\ntotal number of events: 454\ntotal number of events: 454\ntotal number of events: 454\n\nThe Cortex-A15 vs Cortex-A7 performance ratio is 2.39, i.e. very close\nto the one derived from the Dhrystone based one of the \"Big.LITTLE\nProcessing with ARM Cortex™-A15 & Cortex-A7\" white paper (2.63).\n\nWe don't aim for exact values for the cpu capacity values. Besides the\nCPI (Cycles Per Instruction), the instruction mix and whether the system\nruns cpu-bound or memory-bound has an impact on the cpu capacity values\nderived from these benchmark results.\n\nCc: Rob Herring <robh+dt@kernel.org>\nCc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>\nCc: Russell King <linux@armlinux.org.uk>\nCc: Kukjin Kim <kgene@kernel.org>\nCc: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@kernel.org>\nSigned-off-by: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@arm.com>\n---\n arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5420-cpus.dtsi | 8 ++++++++\n 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+)", "diff": "diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5420-cpus.dtsi b/arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5420-cpus.dtsi\nindex 5c052d7ff554..d7d703aa1699 100644\n--- a/arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5420-cpus.dtsi\n+++ b/arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5420-cpus.dtsi\n@@ -36,6 +36,7 @@\n \t\t\tcooling-min-level = <0>;\n \t\t\tcooling-max-level = <11>;\n \t\t\t#cooling-cells = <2>; /* min followed by max */\n+\t\t\tcapacity-dmips-mhz = <1024>;\n \t\t};\n \n \t\tcpu1: cpu@1 {\n@@ -48,6 +49,7 @@\n \t\t\tcooling-min-level = <0>;\n \t\t\tcooling-max-level = <11>;\n \t\t\t#cooling-cells = <2>; /* min followed by max */\n+\t\t\tcapacity-dmips-mhz = <1024>;\n \t\t};\n \n \t\tcpu2: cpu@2 {\n@@ -60,6 +62,7 @@\n \t\t\tcooling-min-level = <0>;\n \t\t\tcooling-max-level = <11>;\n \t\t\t#cooling-cells = <2>; /* min followed by max */\n+\t\t\tcapacity-dmips-mhz = <1024>;\n \t\t};\n \n \t\tcpu3: cpu@3 {\n@@ -72,6 +75,7 @@\n \t\t\tcooling-min-level = <0>;\n \t\t\tcooling-max-level = <11>;\n \t\t\t#cooling-cells = <2>; /* min followed by max */\n+\t\t\tcapacity-dmips-mhz = <1024>;\n \t\t};\n \n \t\tcpu4: cpu@100 {\n@@ -85,6 +89,7 @@\n \t\t\tcooling-min-level = <0>;\n \t\t\tcooling-max-level = <7>;\n \t\t\t#cooling-cells = <2>; /* min followed by max */\n+\t\t\tcapacity-dmips-mhz = <539>;\n \t\t};\n \n \t\tcpu5: cpu@101 {\n@@ -97,6 +102,7 @@\n \t\t\tcooling-min-level = <0>;\n \t\t\tcooling-max-level = <7>;\n \t\t\t#cooling-cells = <2>; /* min followed by max */\n+\t\t\tcapacity-dmips-mhz = <539>;\n \t\t};\n \n \t\tcpu6: cpu@102 {\n@@ -109,6 +115,7 @@\n \t\t\tcooling-min-level = <0>;\n \t\t\tcooling-max-level = <7>;\n \t\t\t#cooling-cells = <2>; /* min followed by max */\n+\t\t\tcapacity-dmips-mhz = <539>;\n \t\t};\n \n \t\tcpu7: cpu@103 {\n@@ -121,6 +128,7 @@\n \t\t\tcooling-min-level = <0>;\n \t\t\tcooling-max-level = <7>;\n \t\t\t#cooling-cells = <2>; /* min followed by max */\n+\t\t\tcapacity-dmips-mhz = <539>;\n \t\t};\n \t};\n };\n", "prefixes": [ "2/4" ] }
