[PATCH 1/6] arm64: sched: Remove unused mc_capable() and smt_capable()

[Mark Brown]

From: Zi Shen Lim <zlim@broadcom.com>

Remove unused and deprecated mc_capable() and smt_capable().

Both were added recently by f6e763b93a6c ("arm64: topology:
Implement basic CPU topology support"). Uses of both were removed
by 8e7fbcbc22c1 ("sched: Remove stale power aware scheduling
remnants and dysfunctional knobs").

[PATCH 2/6] arm64: topology: Initialise default topology state immediately

[Mark Brown]

From: Mark Brown <broonie@linaro.org>

As a legacy of the way 32 bit ARM did things the topology code uses a null
topology map by default and then overwrites it by mapping cores with no
information to a cluster by themselves later. In order to make it simpler
to reset things as part of recovering from parse failures in firmware
information directly set this configuration on init. A core will always be
its own sibling so there should be no risk of confusion with firmware
provided information.

[PATCH 3/6] arm64: topology: Add support for topology DT bindings

[Mark Brown]

From: Mark Brown <broonie@linaro.org>

Add support for parsing the explicit topology bindings to discover the
topology of the system.

Since it is not currently clear how to map multi-level clusters for the
scheduler all leaf clusters are presented to the scheduler at the same
level. This should be enough to provide good support for current systems.

[PATCH 4/6] arm64: topology: add MPIDR-based detection

[Mark Brown]

From: Zi Shen Lim <zlim@broadcom.com>

Create cpu topology based on MPIDR. When hardware sets MPIDR to sane
values, this method will always work. Therefore it should also work well
as the fallback method. [1]

When we have multiple processing elements in the system, we create
the cpu topology by mapping each affinity level (from lowest to highest)
to threads (if they exist), cores, and clusters.

We combine data from all higher affinity levels into cluster_id
so we don't lose any information from MPIDR. [2]

[Raise the priority of the error message if we don't discover topology

This is broken, IIRC Lorenzo commented on this in the previous version of the
patch.

Ditto here.

Take a simple example of system with 2 Quad core clusters.
The mpidr_hash.shift_aff[1] will be 6 as you need minimum 2 bits to represent
aff[0]. So you will end up with second cluster with id = 4 instead of 1.

I am not sure if we need this serialization, but even if we need it you can't
simply use the hash bits generated for MPIDR.Aff{3..0} serialization directly
as is for serializing parts of it.

Sudeep

Could you please be specific?  Lorenzo was concerned about overflow but

This isn't a problem, the clusters can have any numbers so long as they
are distinct.  There is no other requirement.

Ah, now I look at what the hash is doing that is indeed directly useful
- we can mask or shift out the bits we don't want.  Equally well it just
looks like a preference?

This does seem like something that could be dealt with incrementally.

Ah, my bad. You are right, I took his comment on the shift to be different from
overflow which is not the case.

IIUC these topology information is exposed via sysfs. So it's good to have
uniformity though they can have any number. As mentioned in the example, if the
linearisation depend on aff[0], then this factor will not be uniform.

Yes we can use the hash bits, but the way it's done in this patch needs fixing
so that we can be more uniform(as its exposed via sysfs)

Hash is used to save memory, if all we need is a unique identifier
we do not need the hash at all.

As to what should we use as cluster id, honestly I do not know.

I am quite tempted to use just three affinity levels for the moment
and fix it when need arises, after all on ARM we have aff2 completely
unused at the moment for the non-SMT systems (ie all ARM SMP systems in
the mainline) and we are not coalescing affinity 2 into affinity 1 in
any way.

So either you ignore aff3, or can do something like that (non-SMT):

cluster_id = MPIDR_EL1[39:32] << 16 | MPIDR_EL1[23:16] << 8 | MPIDR_EL1[15:8]

Also please remove the warning on the missing topology information, if
we fall back to MPIDR_EL1 we will always have a topology of sorts, as
borked as it might be, so that warning becomes useless, ie it is never
triggered.

Which is roughly what the original code that you were worried about did
IIRC?  It seems silly to ignore the higher affinity levels since it's
trivial to look at them and means the kernel will@least split
everything into clusters if it does encounter some hardware that uses
them as opposed to merging those distinguished only by the higher
affinity levels.

I'll add something to this patch - the warning is needed if the DT code
gets merged without this and it seems this one still going round the
loop.  :/

No, it is not, at all, you do not remember correctly I am afraid.

Using the pseudo code above is as useful as using the hashing algorithm,
they both provide you with a unique id and that's all we need for the
topology.

The original code was using the hash shifts the wrong way, which could
lead to incorrect behaviour.

If ignoring affinity levels is silly, then we have to fix ARM 32 bit
code too, since there on ALL SMP ARM systems in the mainline, affinity
level 2 *is* ignored (since they are not SMT systems).

Having said that, I really think that for the time being we should use three
affinity levels (for topology purposes) as ARM 32 does and be done with this
stuff.

To be 100% precise, I think the best way to do it is to add another
topology level (ie "book" in the kernel or whatever you want to call it for
ARM, which I think is unused) and update the parsing code and data structure
accordingly so that if two clusters have the same id but belong to different
"books" (aff2 or aff3 - depending on SMT) the sibling masks are still correct.

Documentation/cputopology.txt

We will cross that bridge when we come to it instead of lumping affinity
levels together, that's my opinion.

Yes but *this* patch is bumping the log level not the other ones and what I
am saying is that when this code patch gets merged that warning is useless (ie
never triggered - cluster id can't be == -1) unless I am missing something
here.

Do not bother, use three affinity levels and be done with that, we will
deal with aff3 (and aff2) when time comes.

Lorenzo

I think someone should, yes, though I'd be a bit surprised if anyone
ever actually makes 32 bit ARM hardware where it makes any difference.

Right, that's about what I'm saying - I don't think we should actually
do anything to describe a multi-level topology to the scheduler since
it's not clear to me if the physical realities of such systems system
will map on to what the scheduler thinks it's modelling well, or for
that matter if the scheduler won't have a better model or be capable of
automatically tuning this stuff without explicit information from the
architecture by the time anyone gets around to making such hardware.

The only reason for paying attention at all at present is to ensure that
we don't do something actively broken and squash clusters together
should we encounter such a system - we do the same thing that the DT
code, we just ignore the heirachy and report everything as a flat
topology.

Right, if we have the MPIDR support then it should be removed.  It's
useful if we get the DT without MPIDR but not otherwise - once we can
parse MPIDRs for most SoCs there should be very little reason to ever
bother with the DT binding.

This would leave the MPIDR support worse than DT which seems retrograde
especially given that it's so simple to differentiate the clusters.  The
only issue with that appears to be about precisely how to make up the
cluster numbers which is a cosmetic one.

That's the reason why I said you should not bother. If you want to use
4 affinity levels, I do not see the point in using the hash for that though,
since all we need is a unique id which can be easily created without
resorting to hashing.

Hashing compresses the cluster index, but that index is not representative
of HW anyway. If you go for simple shifting we might end up with huge cluster
ids, which is fine but a bit weird.

So either (1) you use three affinity levels or (2) the simplest way to combine
the affinity levels.

I personally do not like squashing affinity levels, but I can live with
that as long as we are done with this, functionality is ready and it is
time we get that in.

Thanks,
Lorenzo

Right, OK.  I personally wouldn't have used anything non-trivial either
but equally well I didn't see any strong reason not to do it either and
it's what Zi Shen sent.  I suspect this is based on the review comments
the first time around.

Sorry for jumping in late. The original patch packs the cluster_id, in hope of
providing linear mapping when the affinity tree is balanced. I'm fine with
the simplest way of shifting/oring, if that's the preferred method :)

The patch below applies on top of the series Mark sent out.
1. Dropped mpidr_hash-related bits, in favor of simpler shift/or using MPIDR.
2. Also addressed Lorenzo's comment about redundant cluster_id==-1 check.

Mark, can you please apply/squash this patch?

Thanks,
z

So your concern is that the width of aff[0] will vary?  That's
reasonable.

[PATCH 5/6] arm64: topology: Tell the scheduler about the relative power of cores

[Mark Brown]

From: Mark Brown <broonie@linaro.org>

In heterogeneous systems like big.LITTLE systems the scheduler will be
able to make better use of the available cores if we provide power numbers
to it indicating their relative performance. Do this by parsing the CPU
nodes in the DT.

This code currently has no effect as no information on the relative
performance of the cores is provided.

[PATCH 6/6] arm64: topology: Provide relative power numbers for cores

[Mark Brown]

From: Mark Brown <broonie@linaro.org>

Provide performance numbers to the scheduler to help it fill the cores in
the system on big.LITTLE systems. With the current scheduler this may
perform poorly for applications that try to do OpenMP style work over all
cores but should help for more common workloads. The current 32 bit ARM
implementation provides a similar estimate so this helps ensure that
work to improve big.LITTLE systems on ARMv7 systems performs similarly
on ARMv8 systems.

The power numbers are the same as for ARMv7 since it seems that the
expected differential between the big and little cores is very similar on
both ARMv7 and ARMv8.  In both ARMv7 and ARMv8 cases the numbers were
based on the published DMIPS numbers.

These numbers are just an initial and basic approximation for use with
the current scheduler, it is likely that both experience with silicon
and ongoing work on improving the scheduler will lead to further tuning
or will tune automatically at runtime and so make the specific choice of
numbers here less critical.
