Nouveau - Dec 2015 - [PATCH v2 1/7] bios/volt: handle voltage table version 0x50 with 0ed header

this series solves different issues we encounter on kepler cards while
reclocking:

1. core clock doesn't change at all and produces a volting error (patch 1)
	this can happen when the voltage table has only 0ed values in the header
	so we have to parse the entries itself, which contain the right voltages
2. kepler won't clock to highest cstates (patch 2)
	this happens, because there are entries in the cstep table with too high
voltages attached
	in this case we should simply drop those cstates, because they can't even
be used by the gpu
	the voltage limit is found in the voltage map table
3. higher voltage used than on blob/Windows (patch 3-4)
	this happened, because previously nouveau didn't know how the read the max
voltage for boosting out of the vbios
	like patch 2 we simply drop all cstates with voltage higher than this one
4. heat issues after clocking to highest pstate (patch 5-7)
	sometimes the gpu is able to handle the highest cstate, but the gpu isn't
build for that high voltages
	in that case we should just parse the baseclock table, which tells us the
clocks the gpu is intented to run with

the last patches also introduce a new config option: NvBoost

0: no boosting/cstates, this will stick with the base clocks from the PM_Mode
table
1: highest clock available is the base clock (default)
2: highest clock available is the boost clock
3: all cstates are available (still limited by gpu and boost voltage)

because this will regress performance on some cards, the new option should be
advertised later on, but I think
it is a better idea to be safe here, because otherwise nouveau can easily go
above the TDP of the gpu and this
leads to complete different issues.

After this, we can then try to understand which factors are important for
boosting and implement it in a better way, but for this we need:
1. support for power consumption sensors
2. better understanding on which power budget is the right one
3. in which situation we can boost how far

Because this series can mess up reclocking for a wide range of cards, I really
want to have it tested on several systems, thanks

Karol Herbst (7):
  bios/volt: handle voltage table version 0x50 with 0ed header
  clk: drop cstates with too high voltage
  volt: parse the boost voltage entry
  clk: drop cstates with higher voltage than boost_max_voltage
  nvbios: add parsing of BASE CLOCK table
  subdev/clk: print the base clocks
  clk: allow boosting only when NvBoost is set

Some Kepler cards have no usefull header in the voltage table, which means
nouveau has to read the voltages out of the entries directly.

This patch fixes volting issues on those cards enabling them to switch cstates

To support boosting, vbios' seems to have fasters cstate than the actual
base clock.
We should definitly drop all those with a higher voltage than the max voltage
stated in the vbios.

This fixes reclocking issues mostly on high-end kepler cards where the highest
cstates goes way beyond the max voltage supported

v2: don't depend on the order of the vid entries

2: boost only to boost clock from the vbios
3: boost to max clock available (still limited by gpu and boost voltage)

Hello,

first of all, I'm new to this list, so please beer with me. On the other 
hand, I'm a graduate computer systems engineer with experience in Linux 
kernel code, so I can hopefully provide useful input/assistance on this 
topic.

I'm replying because I tried your patches on my setup in the hope they'd
fix my lockups. Unfortunately they didn't, so I'm offering debug 
assistance to make my system work as well.

Here's my setup:
- Arch Linux
- Lenovo Thinkpad x230 laptop with integrated intel (ivy bridge)
- External GPU (eGPU) connected via ExpressCard <-> PCIe adaptor, a 
nvidia GeForce 650 Ti (Kepler). The PCIe link is unfortunately limited 
to Gen 1 and one lane.
- PRIME with eGPU as primary (following this guide: 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME#Discrete_Card_as_Primary_GPU)
- This setup works fine under Windows 10, and the eGPU gives a lot 
better performance than the intel chip even with the limited PCIe link.
- I compiled nouveau.ko, and nothing else, from your out-of-tree fork 
(branch stable_reclocking_kepler, HEAD at bc4767c (bios/fan: hardcode 
the fan mode to linear))

With and without your patches, I get lockups when attempting to reclock 
to the highest level (echo 0f > /sys/.../pstate) and then running an 
actual game (Dota 2 in this instance). Reclock as such appears to work 
fine initially, but the whole system locks up as soon as I start Dota 2. 
glxgears runs fine. echo 0a > /sys/.../pstate works as wel, however the 
performance is poor.

I suspected that reclocking doesn't work fully in that the core voltage 
isn't ramped high enough, so that the GPU (and rest of the system) locks 
up when the load goes above some threshold (glxgears works after all). 
Unfortunately, I can't see any improvement with your patches.

FWIW, I made sure that the self-compiled nouveau.ko is used by running 
make install and then deleting the distro's shipped nouveau.ko. I 
verified this by running modprobe -nv nouveau (it also shows that 
pstate=1 is correctly passed to it). The nouveau.ko (.ko.gz actually) is 
placed under /lib/modules/4.3.3-2-ARCH/extra/nouveau.ko.gz.

Thanks for your ongoing effort to improve the situation on nvidia cards. 
I hope I can be of any help.

Best regards.

Hello,

following up on myself, it was suggested on IRC that I better attach a 
dmesg output. Here's the output of a clean boot & echo 0f > 
/sys/.../pstate cycle.

I can't spot a message that relates to the reclock action, and there's 
only one weird "nouveau 0000:04:00.0: clk: base: 7 MHz, boost: 7 MHz" 
message.

On the other hand:
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:04:00.0/pstate
07: core 324 MHz memory 648 MHz
0a: core 549 MHz memory 1620 MHz
0f: core 1032 MHz memory 5400 MHz AC DC *
DC: core 1032 MHz memory 5400 MHz

One additional data point: In a gnome3 session it can lock up even 
without starting a game, just by entering the gnome menu (I think the 
gnome desktop is hardware accelerated).

Hope that helps.

Best regards

Probably expected, but there was more than one vbios.rom file. Each is 
167KB big. I attached all of them.

The filenames are derived from the location inside debugfs.

# ls /sys/kernel/debug/dri/*/vbios.rom
/sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/vbios.rom 
/sys/kernel/debug/dri/129/vbios.rom/sys/kernel/debug/dri/65/vbios.rom


Best regards.

I believe that's just an artifact of how the debugfs stuff is hooked
up -- it's a single vbios. But multiple DRI nodes, so multiple debugfs
entries. All 3 should be bit-for-bit identical.
