Subject: [PATCH v3 00/11] perf: Intel Cache QoS Monitoring support

From: Matt Fleming <[email protected]>

This patch series adds a new PMU driver for the Intel Cache Monitoring
hardware feature available in Intel Xeon processors, which allows
monitoring of LLC occupancy on a task, group or system-wide basis.

The first few patches modify tools/perf to handle per-package counters,
which necessitates discarding some values when doing per-cpu reads to
avoid getting duplicate data. The rest add support for the new PMU code.

I've left a notoriously funky bit of code as the last patch, the RMID
rotation code, in an attempt to simplify things. Doing the rotation
provides the ability to multiplex the RMIDs and basically overcome the
hardware limitation, but the rest of the patches work fine without it.
But there are a number of scenarios where being able to monitor more
tasks than RMIDs is extremely useful.

The series is based on tip/perf/core.

Jiri Olsa (1):
perf tools: Implement snapshot event file logic

Changes in v3:

- Dropped patches that have been applied in tip/perf/core

- Upated commit message in PATCH 3 based on Peter's feedback

- Simplified PATCH 5 by only using int cgroup_fd as param

- Added a new patch (11) to perform internal scheduling on conflict
monitoring events

- Make RMIDs wait in limbo for a minimium queue time to avoid IPIs
wherever possible

- Provide a user-configurable upper bound on the recycling threshold

- Reduce the size of a preemption disabled section (pointed out by
Thomas Gleixner)

- Reduce the limbo bitmap size due to worries of mass memory
consumption on larg CPU systems (Peter Zijlstra)

- Picked a patch (2) from Jiri to fix the -I (interval) mode of perf
stat with CQM

Changes in v2:

- Added Jiri Olsa's Acked-by to PATCH 02/11.

- Use x86_match_cpu() in intel_cqm_init() and make sure we grab the
hotplug lock to prevent races as pointed out by Andi Kleen in
PATCH 08/11.

- Delete a stale comment in commit message of PATCH 10/11.

Subject: [PATCH 06/11] x86: Add support for Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) detection

From: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr <[email protected]>

This patch adds support for the new Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM)
feature found in future Intel Xeon processors. It includes the
new values to track CQM resources to the cpuinfo_x86 structure,
plus the CPUID detection routines for CQM.

CQM allows a process, or set of processes, to be tracked by the CPU
to determine the cache usage of that task group. Using this data
from the CPU, software can be written to extract this data and
report cache usage and occupancy for a particular process, or
group of processes.

More information about Cache QoS Monitoring can be found in the
Intel (R) x86 Architecture Software Developer Manual, section 17.14.

Subject: [PATCH 04/11] perf: Add ->count() function to read per-package counters

From: Matt Fleming <[email protected]>

For PMU drivers that record per-package counters, the ->count variable
cannot be used to record an accurate aggregated value, since it's not
possible to perform SMP cross-calls to cpus on other packages from the
context in which we update ->count.

Introduce a new optional ->count() accessor function that can be used to
customize how values are collected. If a PMU driver doesn't provide a
->count() function, we fallback to the existing code.

There is necessarily a window of staleness with this approach because
the task that generated the counter value may not have been scheduled by
the cpu recently.

An alternative and more complex approach would be to use a hrtimer to
periodically refresh the values from a more permissive scheduling
context. So, we're trading off complexity for accuracy.

Subject: [PATCH 09/11] perf/x86/intel: Support task events with Intel CQM

From: Matt Fleming <[email protected]>

Add support for task events as well as system-wide events. This change
has a big impact on the way that we gather LLC occupancy values in
intel_cqm_event_read().

Currently, for system-wide (per-cpu) events we defer processing to
userspace which knows how to discard all but one cpu result per package.

Things aren't so simple for task events because we need to do the value
aggregation ourselves. To do this, we defer updating the LLC occupancy
value in event->count from intel_cqm_event_read() and do an SMP
cross-call to read values for all packages in intel_cqm_event_count().
We need to ensure that we only do this for one task event per cache
group, otherwise we'll report duplicate values.

If we're a system-wide event we want to fallback to the default
perf_event_count() implementation. Refactor this into a common function
so that we don't duplicate the code.

Also, introduce PERF_TYPE_INTEL_CQM, since we need a way to track an
event's task (if the event isn't per-cpu) inside of the Intel CQM PMU
driver. This task information is only availble in the upper layers of
the perf infrastructure.

Other perf backends stash the target task in event->hw.*target so we
need to do something similar. The task is used to determine whether
events should share a cache group and an RMID.

Subject: [PATCH 11/11] perf/x86/intel: Enable conflicting event scheduling for CQM

From: Matt Fleming <[email protected]>

We can leverage the workqueue that we use for RMID rotation to support
scheduling of conflicting monitoring events. Allowing events that
monitor conflicting things is done at various other places in the perf
subsystem, so there's precedent there.

An example of two conflicting events would be monitoring a cgroup and
simultaneously monitoring a task within that cgroup.

This uses the cache_groups list as a queuing mechanism, where every
event that reaches the front of the list gets the chance to be scheduled
in, possibly descheduling any conflicting events that are running.

Subject: [PATCH 08/11] perf/x86/intel: Implement LRU monitoring ID allocation for CQM

From: Matt Fleming <[email protected]>

It's possible to run into issues with re-using unused monitoring IDs
because there may be stale cachelines associated with that ID from a
previous allocation. This can cause the LLC occupancy values to be
inaccurate.

To attempt to mitigate this problem we place the IDs on a least recently
used list, essentially a FIFO. The basic idea is that the longer the
time period between ID re-use the lower the probability that stale
cachelines exist in the cache.

Subject: [PATCH 03/11] perf: Make perf_cgroup_from_task() global

From: Matt Fleming <[email protected]>

Move perf_cgroup_from_task() from kernel/events/ to include/linux/ along
with the necessary struct definitions, so that it can be used by the PMU
code.

When the upcoming Intel Cache Monitoring PMU driver assigns monitoring
IDs to perf events, it needs to be able to check whether any two
monitoring events overlap (say, a cgroup and task event), which means we
need to be able to lookup the cgroup associated with a task (if any).

Subject: [PATCH 01/11] perf tools: Parse event per-package info files

From: Matt Fleming <[email protected]>

In preparation for upcoming PMU drivers that support system-wide,
per-package counters and hence report duplicate values, add support for
parsing the .per-pkg file.

An event can export this info file to indicate that all but one value
per socket should be discarded.

The discarding is much easier to do in userspace than inside the kernel
because the kernel cannot infer what userspace is going to do with the
reported values, what order it will read them in, etc.

Subject: [PATCH v3 07/11] perf/x86/intel: Add Intel Cache QoS Monitoring support

From: Matt Fleming <[email protected]>

Future Intel Xeon processors support a Cache QoS Monitoring feature that
allows tracking of the LLC occupancy for a task or task group, i.e. the
amount of data in pulled into the LLC for the task (group).

Currently the PMU only supports per-cpu events. We create an event for
each cpu and read out all the LLC occupancy values.

Because this results in duplicate values being written out to userspace,
we also export a .per-pkg event file so that the perf tools only
accumulate values for one cpu per package.

Changes in v3:

- Export bytes and scale attributes for use by perf tools
- Wire up 'snapshot' attribute to support perf stat -I

Changes in v2:

- Use x86_match_cpu() to detect cpu feature.
- Grab the hotplug lock while we traverse the online cpumask in
intel_cqm_init().

Subject: [PATCH v3 10/11] perf/x86/intel: Perform rotation on Intel CQM RMIDs

From: Matt Fleming <[email protected]>

There are many use cases where people will want to monitor more tasks
than there exist RMIDs in the hardware, meaning that we have to perform
some kind of multiplexing.

We do this by "rotating" the RMIDs in a workqueue, and assigning an RMID
to a waiting event when the RMID becomes unused.

This scheme reserves one RMID at all times for rotation. When we need to
schedule a new event we give it the reserved RMID, pick a victim event
from the front of the global CQM list and wait for the victim's RMID to
drop to zero occupancy, before it becomes the new reserved RMID.

We put the victim's RMID onto the limbo list, where it resides for a
"minimum queue time", which is intended to save ourselves an expensive
smp IPI when the RMID is unlikely to have a occupancy value below
__intel_cqm_threshold.

If we fail to recycle an RMID, even after waiting the minimum queue time
then we need to increment __intel_cqm_threshold. There is an upper bound
on this threshold, __intel_cqm_max_threshold, which is programmable from
userland as /sys/devices/intel_cqm/max_recycling_threshold.

The comments above __intel_cqm_rmid_rotate() have more details.

Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]>

Changes in v3:

- Queue RMIDs for a minimum queue time to avoid expensive IPIs
- Allow upper bound to be specified for maximum recycling threshold
- Reduce preempt disabled section size in intel_cqm_rmid_stabilize()
- Reduce the limbo bitmap memory allocation sizes

Changes in v2:

- Update commit message to not make bogus claims like "all tasks in a
thread group are tracked together".

How is that supposed to work? You call __intel_cqm_event_count() on the
one cpu per socket, but then you use a local_add, not an atomic_add,
even though these adds can happen concurrently as per IPI broadcast.

Also, I think smp_call_function_many() ignores the current cpu, if this
cpu happens to be the cpu for this socket, you're up some creek without
no paddle, right?

Thirdly, there is no serialization around calling perf_event_count() [or
your pmu::count method] so you cannot temporarily put it to 0.

Ouch, right. That's broken.

OK, I didn't realise that. Yeah that sounds very problematic. I think my
eyes skipped over the word "other" in the smp_call_function_many() docs,

* smp_call_function_many(): Run a function on a set of other CPUs.

So, the correct way to do this is to iterate over cqm_cpumask and invoke
smp_call_function_single(), right?

Urgh, thanks. Good spot. I'm gonna have to think of a suitable
serialisation mechanism because all the current ones are pretty
heavy-handed. And of course, there's the added fun that it needs to be
held across the IPIs.

Perhaps a per-cache-group mutex?

This suffers the same issue as before, why not call that one function
and not reimplement it?

Also, I don't think we'd ever swap an rmid for another valid one, right?
So we could do this read/update unconditionally.

Same problem again, the current cpu is not included.

Ah, just found we have on_each_cpu_mask(), which is what you want.

Should we initialize that to a finite value? Surely results are absolute
crap if we do indeed reach that max?

Why continue; this LRU is time ordered, later entries cannot be earlier,

I don't get the whole list -> bitmap -> list juggle.

enum rmid_cycle_state {
RMID_AVAILABLE = 0,
RMID_LIMBO,
RMID_YOUNG,
};

struct cqm_rmid_entry {
...
enum rmid_cycle_state state;
};

static void __intel_sqm_stable(void *arg)
{
list_for_each_entry(entry, &cqm_rmid_limbo_lru, list) {
if (entry->state == RMID_YOUNG)
break;

if (__rmid_read(entry->rmid) > __threshold)
entry->state = RMID_LIMBO;
}
}

static bool intel_cqm_rmid_stabilize()
{
unsigned long queue_time = jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(__rotation_period);
unsigned int nr_limbo = 0;
...

list_for_each_entry(entry, &cqm_rmid_limbo_lru, list) {
if (time_after(entry->queue_time, queue_time))
break;

entry->state = RMID_AVAILABLE;
nr_limbo++;
}

if (!nr_limbo)
return;

on_each_cpu_mask(&cqm_cpumask, __intel_cqm_stable, NULL, true);

list_for_each_entry_safe(entry, tmp, &cqm_rmid_limbo_lru, list) {
if (entry->state == RMID_YOUNG)
break;

if (entry->state == RMID_AVAILABLE)
list_move(&cqm_rmid_free_list, &entry->list);
}
}


Would not something like that work?

For optional goodness:

if (nr_limbo > max_scan_size)
break;

Which will limit the number of RMIDs you'll scan from the IPI, and
thereby limit the time taken there.

There's two things being conflated here I think, even though they're
related.

The one is how long we'll let RMIDs settle before trying to reuse them,
the second is how often we attempt the rotation. Clearly the rotation
time is limited by the settle time, but they need not be the same.

Also, we already have a per pmu rotation interval in
pmu::hrtimer_interval_ms, I suppose we should reuse that to be
consistent.

No, we never swap a valid RMID for another valid one, but we do make a
invalid -> valid transition, so doing the read wouldn't make sense
in that situation.

I don't think we'll ever reach that max, it'll bottom out once it
reaches the size of the LLC, since the pathological case is that the
RMID you're currently trying to stabilize is used to tag every line in
the LLC.

Not sure what a reasonable finite value would be here though? 10% of the
LLC size?

Sure, LLC size is the 'same'. Makes the entire ordeal rather pointless.

Can you ask the same Oracle that provided the magic 250 ms? Both are
magic/random numbers. 10% sounds rather large, but who knows.

Actually, yeah, that does look like it'd work. Are you OK with me adding
an enum to the cqm_rmid_entry? You had concerns in the past about
growing the size of the struct.

That was because I was thinking you did nr_rmid*sizeof(cqm_rmid_entry)
allocation, shortly thereafter I noticed you did a pointer alloc and
then allocated each individual entry.

Also, that enum can fit the hole you made there I think.

To limit the amount of magic numbers we've got in this code, I'm going
to punt on this optional feature.

That is, unless you can provide a value for max_scan_size.
