Commit Message

Viresh Kumar June 21, 2021, 9:19 a.m. UTC
The Frequency Invariance Engine (FIE) is providing a frequency scaling
correction factor that helps achieve more accurate load-tracking.

Normally, this scaling factor can be obtained directly with the help of
the cpufreq drivers as they know the exact frequency the hardware is
running at. But that isn't the case for CPPC cpufreq driver.

Another way of obtaining that is using the arch specific counter
support, which is already present in kernel, but that hardware is
optional for platforms.

This patch updates the CPPC driver to register itself with the topology
core to provide its own implementation (cppc_scale_freq_tick()) of
topology_scale_freq_tick() which gets called by the scheduler on every
tick. Note that the arch specific counters have higher priority than
CPPC counters, if available, though the CPPC driver doesn't need to have
any special handling for that.

On an invocation of cppc_scale_freq_tick(), we schedule an irq work
(since we reach here from hard-irq context), which then schedules a
normal work item and cppc_scale_freq_workfn() updates the per_cpu
arch_freq_scale variable based on the counter updates since the last
tick.

To allow platforms to disable this CPPC counter-based frequency
invariance support, this is all done under CONFIG_ACPI_CPPC_CPUFREQ_FIE,
which is enabled by default.

This also exports sched_setattr_nocheck() as the CPPC driver can be
built as a module.

Even in that case policy->cpus will contain all offline+online CPUs (at ->init()
time), isn't it ?

Right, my bad. I missed cpumask_and(policy->cpus, policy->cpus,
cpu_online_mask) being done after init(). It logically seems a bit
wrong, but drivers are in control of setting policy->cpus and acting on
it, and in this case the driver does the right thing.

To be honest I would like to have more time on this before you merge the
set, to better understand Qian's results and some observations I have
for Thunder X2 (I will share in a bit).

For the code, I think it's fine. I have a single observation regarding
the following code:

For this condition above, think about a scenario where reading counters
for offline CPUs returns an error. I'm not sure if that can happen, to
be honest. That would mean here that you will never initialise the freq
source unless all CPUs in the policy are online at policy creation.

My recommendation is to warn about the failed read of perf counters but
only return from this function if the target CPU is online as well when
reading counters fails.

This is probably a nit, so I'll let you decide if you want to do something
about this.

Thanks,
Ionela.

Ideally, this code was already merged in 5.13 and would have required
us to fix any problems as we encounter them. I did revert it because
it caused a kernel crash and I wasn't sure if there was a sane/easy
way of fixing that so late in the release cycle. That was the right
thing to do then.

All those issues are gone now, we may have an issue around rounding of
counters or some hardware specific issues, it isn't clear yet.

But the stuff works fine otherwise, doesn't make the kernel crash and
it is controlled with a CONFIG_ option, so those who don't want to use
it can still disable it.

The merge window is here now, if we don't merge it now, it gets
delayed by a full cycle (roughly two months) and if we merge it now
and are able to narrow down the rounding issues, if there are any, we
will have full two months to make a fix for that and still push it in
5.14 itself.

And so I would like to get it merged in this merge window itself, it
also makes sure more people would get to test it, like Qian was able
to figure out a problem here for us.

That is a very good observation actually. Thanks for that. This is how
I fixed it.

Okay, makes sense. I have not seen this code actually do anything wrong
so far, and the issues I see on ThunderX2 point more to misbehaving
counters for this purpose. This being said, I would have probably
preferred for this feature to be disabled by default, until we've tested
more, but that won't give the chance to anyone else to test.
