41 * A work interval is a repeatable unit of work characterized by a
42 * start, finish, and deadline.
44 * Trusted clients with deadline-sensitive work may report information
45 * about the execution of their work using the work interval facility.
46 * This is intended to be a higher-level semantic than realtime scheduling,
47 * which operates at the level of thread block/unblock. A high level
48 * operation may have many blocking points, including IPC to other tasks,
49 * and this this metric will capture the overall time to complete a unit of
52 * A work interval is defined by several timestamps, namely (S)tart,
53 * (F)inish, (D)eadline, and (N)ext start.

66 * report information here ---------+
70 * Start: Absolute time when the current deadline-oriented work began. Due
71 * to scheduling latency, preemption, and blocking points, the
72 * thread controlling the work interval may actually begin
73 * executing after this ideal time (which may be the previous work
74 * interval's "next start")
75 * Finish: Absolute time when the current deadline-oriented work finished.
76 * This will typically be a timestamp taken before reporting using
77 * the work interval interface.
78 * Deadline: Absolute time by which the current work was expected to finish.
79 * In cases where the amount of computation (or preemption, or time
80 * spent blocked) causes the active period to take longer than
81 * expected, F may be greater than D.
82 * Next start: Absolute time when the next deadline-oriented work is
83 * expected to begin. This is typically the same as Deadline.
84 * Active: The fraction of the work interval spent completing the work. In
85 * cases where the Finish time exceeded the Deadline, this fraction
90 * Clients should report information for a work interval after finishing
91 * work for the current interval but before the next work interval begins.
93 * If Finish far exceeds the previously expected Deadline, the
94 * caller may adjust Next Start to align to a multiple of the period
95 * (and skip over several work intervals that could not be
100 * Because the information supplied via this facility directly influences power
101 * management decisions, clients should strive to be as accurate as possible.
102 * Failure to do so will adversely impact system power and performance.
104 * Work Interval Auto Join Support:
106 * Work intervals support an optional flag WORK_INTERVAL_FLAG_ENABLE_AUTO_JOIN
107 * which allows RT threads from the same home thread group to join work
108 * intervals via wakeup relationship tracking. Based on the join policy,
109 * RT threads can temporarily join the work interval of other RT threads
110 * which make them runnable. The auto joined thread remains in the work
111 * interval until it blocks or terminates. The mechanism works through
112 * make runnable heuristic and it should be used with extreme caution.
113 * If a client specifies this flag, it gives up explicit control over its
114 * thread group membership and threads unrelated to the work interval
115 * could become part of the thread group. This could lead to serious power
116 * and performance issues. If the make runnable heuristic does not work
117 * for a client use case, it should adopt work_interval_join_port() or
118 * work_interval_join() to explicitly declare its intent.
120 * Work Interval Deferred Finish Support:
122 * Another advanced feature for work intervals is the ability to defer the finish
123 * calls for the work interval until all auto-joined threads for the work interval
124 * have blocked or terminated. This feature is enabled via an optional flag
125 * WORK_INTERVAL_FLAG_ENABLE_DEFERRED_FINISH and is valid only if the work interval
126 * is configured with the WORK_INTERVAL_FLAG_ENABLE_AUTO_JOIN flag as well. The
127 * deferred finish mechanism allows the work interval to defer the finish call
128 * for the work interval until all auto-join threads have blocked/terminated
129 * (and have therefore un-joined the work interval) or one of the work interval
130 * threads calls start for the next frame. The deferred finish works only for
131 * workloads that have no temporal overlap across frames i.e. previous frame has to
132 * finish before next frame can start. This feature should be used with caution
133 * since auto-joined threads would delay finish calls to the performance controller
134 * which could lead to poor performance and battery life.
