Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] More frequency invariance fixes for x86

v1 at https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

changes wrt v1:

- add Peter Zijlstra's code to check for multiplication overflow, see
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
- put all frequence invariant code behind CONFIG_X86_64, as the overflow
checks need 64 bits operations, see the build error at
https://lists.01.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/thread/7GDIBOMNVDG5W2XZD4EICE2TUZR3THBN/
- add additional patch to check for when base_freq > turbo_freq,
suggested by Peter Zijlstra at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Cover Letter from v1:

Patch 1/2 prevents a division by zero in case the product
"delta_MPERF * arch_max_freq_ratio" overflows u64, as suggested by Linus at [1].
This patch supersedes the version at [2], as it also disables frequency
invariance when that overflow happens.

Patch 2/2 implements the recommendation by Ricardo Neri to check for an all
zero MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT and disable freq invariance in that case too.

Be defensive against the case where the processor reports a base_freq
larger than turbo_freq (the ratio would be zero).

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] x86, sched: Bail out of frequency invariance if turbo frequency is unknown

There may be CPUs that support turbo boost but don't declare any turbo
ratio, i.e. their MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT is all zeroes. In that condition
scale-invariant calculations can't be performed.

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] x86, sched: check for counters overflow in frequency invariant accounting

The product mcnt * arch_max_freq_ratio can overflows u64.

For context, a large value for arch_max_freq_ratio would be 5000,
corresponding to a turbo_freq/base_freq ratio of 5 (normally it's more like
1500-2000). A large increment frequency for the MPERF counter would be 5GHz
(the base clock of all CPUs on the market today is less than that). With
these figures, a CPU would need to go without a scheduler tick for around 8
days for the u64 overflow to happen. It is unlikely, but the check is
warranted.

Under similar conditions, the difference acnt of two consecutive APERF
readings can overflow as well.

In these circumstances is appropriate to disable frequency invariant
accounting: the feature relies on measures of the clock frequency done at
every scheduler tick, which need to be "fresh" to be at all meaningful.

A note on i386: prior to version 5.1, the GCC compiler didn't have the
builtin function __builtin_mul_overflow. In these GCC versions the macro
check_mul_overflow needs __udivdi3() to do (u64)a/b, which the kernel
doesn't provide. For this reason this change fails to build on i386 if
GCC<5.1, and we protect the entire frequency invariant code behind
CONFIG_X86_64 (special thanks to "kbuild test robot" <[email protected]>).

x86, sched: Bail out of frequency invariance if turbo frequency is unknown

There may be CPUs that support turbo boost but don't declare any turbo
ratio, i.e. their MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT is all zeroes. In that condition
scale-invariant calculations can't be performed.

x86, sched: check for counters overflow in frequency invariant accounting

The product mcnt * arch_max_freq_ratio can overflows u64.

For context, a large value for arch_max_freq_ratio would be 5000,
corresponding to a turbo_freq/base_freq ratio of 5 (normally it's more like
1500-2000). A large increment frequency for the MPERF counter would be 5GHz
(the base clock of all CPUs on the market today is less than that). With
these figures, a CPU would need to go without a scheduler tick for around 8
days for the u64 overflow to happen. It is unlikely, but the check is
warranted.

Under similar conditions, the difference acnt of two consecutive APERF
readings can overflow as well.

In these circumstances is appropriate to disable frequency invariant
accounting: the feature relies on measures of the clock frequency done at
every scheduler tick, which need to be "fresh" to be at all meaningful.

A note on i386: prior to version 5.1, the GCC compiler didn't have the
builtin function __builtin_mul_overflow. In these GCC versions the macro
check_mul_overflow needs __udivdi3() to do (u64)a/b, which the kernel
doesn't provide. For this reason this change fails to build on i386 if
GCC<5.1, and we protect the entire frequency invariant code behind
CONFIG_X86_64 (special thanks to "kbuild test robot" <[email protected]>).

Is this going to make it as a fix to 5.8?

I'm getting reports that we trigger this on resume. Would it make sense
to hook into tsc_{save,restore}_sched_clock_state() (or somewhere near
there) to reset the state (basically call init_counter_refs() again to
ensure we're not having to deal with crazy ?

Either keep running, get reset, get scrambled, everything is possible.

Thanks!

Hello,

right, if the counters keep running while the machine is suspended then the
current code thinks it's a runtime overflow. I'll prepare a patch to fix that,
thanks for the heads-up and the hint.
