[PATCH 1/4] pmdomain: core: Support a boot performance floor until sync_state
From: Abel Vesa
Date: Tue Oct 13 2026 - 09:42:53 EST
Some providers retain conservative performance votes until their
sync_state() callbacks run to accommodate hardware configured by
firmware. Enforcing this policy inside the provider hides the floor
from genpd when aggregating performance requirements towards parents.
Add a provider-specified boot_performance_state for domains using
GENPD_FLAG_POWER_UNKNOWN. Clamp the effective domain vote without
changing individual consumer requests, and reaggregate those requests
when sync_state releases the floor. Zero imposes no additional floor.
Apply the floor before runtime power-on even without a preceding
performance request. Do not skip an unchanged consumer request if the
boot performance floor has yet to be applied.
Report sync-time performance errors and continue the normal power-off
attempt. Leave the provider sync callbacks and existing performance
error handling in place, without introducing retries or a new recovery
policy.
