Subject: [PATCH v19 2/3] x86,/proc/pid/arch_status: Add AVX-512 usage elapsed time
Date: Thu,  6 Jun 2019 09:22:35 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190606012236.9391-2-aubrey.li@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190606012236.9391-1-aubrey.li@linux.intel.com>

AVX-512 components use could cause core turbo frequency drop. So
it's useful to expose AVX-512 usage elapsed time as a heuristic hint
for the user space job scheduler to cluster the AVX-512 using tasks
together.

Tensorflow example:
$ while [ 1 ]; do cat /proc/tid/arch_status | grep AVX512; sleep 1; done
AVX512_elapsed_ms:      4
AVX512_elapsed_ms:      8
AVX512_elapsed_ms:      4

This means that 4 milliseconds have elapsed since the AVX512 usage
of tensorflow task was detected when the task was scheduled out.

Or:
$ cat /proc/tid/arch_status | grep AVX512
AVX512_elapsed_ms:      -1

The number '-1' indicates that no AVX512 usage recorded before
thus the task unlikely has frequency drop issue.

User space tools may want to further check by:

$ perf stat --pid <pid> -e core_power.lvl2_turbo_license -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for process id '3558':

     3,251,565,961      core_power.lvl2_turbo_license

       1.004031387 seconds time elapsed

Non-zero counter value confirms that the task causes frequency drop.
