NVIDIA Tegra power management features DVFS, sleep states and switching between low power and high performance CPU clusters. In the current Linux kernel the central subsystems affecting the state of CPUs are cpuidle, cpufreq and CPU hotplug. We propose a new framework, cpuquiet, for coordinated control of CPU cores allowing migration between CPU clusters, maximizing available performance in the presence of EDP and thermal constraints and maximizing the utilization of low power states in the presence of CPU power state constraints and discuss how PM QoS could be extended to allow more efficient power management utilizing e.g. device context and application knowledge to guide the behavior of the different subsystem governors.
