Subject: [PATCH 0/2] iommu/amd: Revert and remove failing PMC test

This has prevented PMC to work on more recent desktop/mobile platforms,
where the PMC power-gating is normally enabled. After consulting
with HW designers and IOMMU maintainer, we have decide to remove
the legacy test altogether to avoid future PMC enabling issues.

Thanks the community for helping to test, investigate, provide data
and report issues on several platforms in the field.

Regards,
Suravee

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Revert "iommu/amd: Fix performance counter initialization"

From: Paul Menzel <[email protected]>

This reverts commit 6778ff5b21bd8e78c8bd547fd66437cf2657fd9b.

The original commit tries to address an issue, where PMC power-gating
causing the IOMMU PMC pre-init test to fail on certain desktop/mobile
platforms where the power-gating is normally enabled.

There have been several reports that the workaround still does not
guarantee to work, and can add up to 100 ms (on the worst case)
to the boot process on certain platforms such as the MSI B350M MORTAR
with AMD Ryzen 3 2200G.

Therefore, revert this commit as a prelude to removing the pre-init
test.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] iommu/amd: Remove performance counter pre-initialization test

In early AMD desktop/mobile platforms (during 2013), when the IOMMU
Performance Counter (PMC) support was first introduced in
commit 30861ddc9cca ("perf/x86/amd: Add IOMMU Performance Counter
resource management"), there was a HW bug where the counters could not
be accessed. The result was reading of the counter always return zero.

At the time, the suggested workaround was to add a test logic prior
to initializing the PMC feature to check if the counters can be programmed
and read back the same value. This has been working fine until the more
recent desktop/mobile platforms start enabling power gating for the PMC,
which prevents access to the counters. This results in the PMC support
being disabled unnecesarily.

Unfortunatly, there is no documentation of since which generation
of hardware the original PMC HW bug was fixed. Although, it was fixed
soon after the first introduction of the PMC. Base on this, we assume
that the buggy platforms are less likely to be in used, and it should
be relatively safe to remove this legacy logic.

I will test this patch and the revert on my two AMD systems and update
you in a day or two.

Why not leave this u64 val here? Having the pdev assignment as the
first line makes it easier to read/follow.

I'll test your revert + update IOMMU patch on my Ryzen 2400G and 4700U
most likely over the weekend. Very interesting!

Please be aware that your original IOMMU patch has already reached the
imminent release of Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute). I've taken the liberty of
adding Alex Hung (lead kernel developer at Ubuntu) to the circulation list.

The immediately obvious difference is the with the enormous count seen

with comments and insight?

Hi Suravee!

Just in case (!), I've run your revert+update patch on kernel 5.11.0-13,

This is the result from git revert. Also, the logic is removed in patch 2/2.

Hi Suravee!

I've re-run your revert+update patch on Ubuntu's latest kernel 5.11.0-14
partly to check my mailer's 'mangling' hadn't also reached the code!

There are 3 sets of results in the attachment, all for the Ryzen 2400G.
The as-distributed kernel already incorporates your IOMMU RFCv3 patch.

A. As-distributed kernel (cold boot)
>5 retries, so no IOMMU read/write capability, no amd_iommu events.

B. As-distributed kernel (warm boot)
<5 retries, amd_iommu running stats show large numbers as before.

C. Revert+Update kernel
amd_iommu events listed and also show large hit/miss numbers.

In due course, I'll load the new (revert+update) kernel on the 4700G but
won't overload your mail-box unless something unusual turns up.

Best regards,

Hi again!

For completeness, I'm attaching results for the revert+update patch
running the Ubuntu 21.04β kernel 5.11.0-14 on a Ryzen 4700U laptop.

The enormous amd_iommu running stats aren't always there, as they nearly
always are on the the 2400G desktop, but they do turn up (depending on
what the machine's been doing).

Be very interested in your thoughts on their relevance!

For the Ryzen 2400G, could you please try with:
- 1 event at a time
- Not more than 8 events (On your system, it has 2 banks x 4 counters/bank.
I am trying to see if this issue might be related to the counters multiplexing).

> Thanks,

Attached are the results you requested for the 2400G along with a tiny
shell-script.

One event at a time and various batches of less than 8 events produce
unexceptionable data. One final batch of 10 events and (hoopla) up go
the counter stats.

Will you be doing something in mitigation or does this just go with the
patch? Is there anything further you need from me? I'll run the script
on the 4700U but I don't expect surprises :-).

All most appreciated,

Herewith similar one-at-a-time perf stat results for the Ryzen 4700U. As
before, more than 8 events displays the third (%) column and (sometimes)
'silly' numbers in the first column.

Hi Suravee!

Results for Ryzen 2400G on Ubuntu 20.10, kernel 5.8.0-50 with patch 2/2
alone. Events batched 3 x 8 to avoid counter-multiplexing (?) artefacts.

The initial hypothesis is that the issue happens only when users specify more number of events than
the available counters, which Perf will time-multiplex the events onto the counters.

Looking at the Perf and AMD IOMMU PMU multiplexing logic, it requires:
1. Stop the counter (i.e. set CSOURCE to zero to stop counting)
2. Save the counter value of the current event
3. Reload the counter value of the new event (previously saved)
4. Start the counter (i.e. set CSOURCE to count new events)

The problem here is that when the driver writes zero to CSOURCE register in step 1, this would enable power-gating,
which prevents access to the counter and result in writing/reading value in step 2 and 3.

I have found a system that reproduced this case (w/ unusually large number of count), and debug the issue further.
As a hack, I have tried skipping step 1, and it seems to eliminate this issue. However, this is logically incorrect,
and might result in inaccurate data depending on the events.

Here are the options:
1. Continue to look for workaround for this issue.
2. Find a way to disable event time-multiplexing (e.g. only limit the number of counters to 8)
if power gating is enabled on the platform.
3. Back to the original logic where we had the pre-init check of the counter vlues, which is still the safest choice
at the moment unless

If the "power-gated" counter only ignores writes, but yields correct values on
reads, you don't need to change its value.

0. When initializing the counter, save its value as 'raw_counter_value'.

When switching:

1. Set CSOURCE to zero (pauses the counter).
2. Read current counter value ('new_value').
3. Add '(new_value - raw_counter_value) & mask' to the current event count;
where 'mask' is '(1ULL << 48) - 1' to account for overflow correctly.
4. Assign 'raw_counter_value = new_value'.
5. Set CSOURCE to new configuration value.

Modifying the hardware counter value is only needed to get overflow interrupts,
but there's no code to handle them on Linux (since the interrupts are
asynchronous, and given the nature of the events, I don't see how it would be
useful).
