[PATCH v6 0/5] selftests/resctrl: Add non-contiguous CBMs in Intel CAT selftest

[PATCH v6 0/5] selftests/resctrl: Add non-contiguous CBMs in Intel CAT selftest

[Maciej Wieczor-Retman]

Non-contiguous CBM support for Intel CAT has been merged into the kernel
with Commit 0e3cd31f6e90 ("x86/resctrl: Enable non-contiguous CBMs in
Intel CAT") but there is no selftest that would validate if this feature
works correctly. The selftest needs to verify if writing non-contiguous
CBMs to the schemata file behaves as expected in comparison to the
information about non-contiguous CBMs support.

The patch series is based on a rework of resctrl selftests that's
currently in review [1]. The patch also implements a similar
functionality presented in the bash script included in the cover letter
of the original non-contiguous CBMs in Intel CAT series [3].

Changelog v6:
- Add Reinette's reviewed-by tag to patch 2/5.
- Fix ret type in noncont test.
- Add a check for bit_center value in noncont test.
- Add resource pointer check in resctrl_mon_feature_exists.
- Fix patch 4 leaking into patch 3 by mistake.

Changelog v5:
- Add a few reviewed-by tags.
- Make some minor text changes in patch messages and comments.
- Redo resctrl_mon_feature_exists() to be more generic and fix some of
  my errors in refactoring feature checking.

Changelog v4:
- Changes to error failure return values in non-contiguous test.
- Some minor text refactoring without functional changes.

Changelog v3:
- Rebase onto v4 of Ilpo's series [1].
- Split old patch 3/4 into two parts. One doing refactoring and one
  adding a new function.
- Some changes to all the patches after Reinette's review.

Changelog v2:
- Rebase onto v4 of Ilpo's series [2].
- Add two patches that prepare helpers for the new test.
- Move Ilpo's patch that adds test grouping to this series.
- Apply Ilpo's suggestion to the patch that adds a new test.

[PATCH v6 1/5] selftests/resctrl: Add test groups and name L3 CAT test L3_CAT

[Maciej Wieczor-Retman]

From: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com>

To select test to run -t parameter can be used. However, -t cat
currently maps to L3 CAT test which will be confusing after more CAT
related tests will be added.

Allow selecting tests as groups and call L3 CAT test "L3_CAT", "CAT"
group will enable all CAT related tests.

[PATCH v6 2/5] selftests/resctrl: Add a helper for the non-contiguous test

[Maciej Wieczor-Retman]

The CAT non-contiguous selftests have to read the file responsible for
reporting support of non-contiguous CBMs in kernel (resctrl). Then the
test compares if that information matches what is reported by CPUID
output.

Add a generic helper function to read an unsigned number from
/sys/fs/resctrl/info/<RESOURCE>/<FILE>.

[PATCH v6 3/5] selftests/resctrl: Split validate_resctrl_feature_request()

[Maciej Wieczor-Retman]

validate_resctrl_feature_request() is used to test both if a resource is
present in the info directory, and if a passed monitoring feature is
present in the mon_features file.

Refactor validate_resctrl_feature_request() into two smaller functions
that each accomplish one check to give feature checking more
granularity:
- Resource directory presence in the /sys/fs/resctrl/info directory.
- Feature name presence in the /sys/fs/resctrl/info/<RESOURCE>/mon_features
  file.

Changelog v6:
- Remove function header that sneaked into this patch from the next one
  in the series.
- Add resource pointer check after adding it back as a function
  argument.

Changelog v5:
- Move back to using resource parameter in mon_feature handling
  function. (Ilpo)

Changelog v4:
- Roll back to using test_resource_feature_check() for CMT and MBA.
  (Ilpo).

Changelog v3:
- Move new function to a separate patch. (Reinette)
- Rewrite resctrl_mon_feature_exists() only for L3_MON.

Changelog v2:

[PATCH v6 4/5] selftests/resctrl: Add resource_info_file_exists()

[Maciej Wieczor-Retman]

Feature checking done by resctrl_mon_feature_exists() covers features
represented by the feature name presence inside the 'mon_features' file
in /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON directory. There exists a different way
to represent feature support and that is by the presence of 0 or 1 in a
single file in the info/resource directory. In this case the filename
represents what feature support is being indicated.

Add a generic function to check file presence in the
/sys/fs/resctrl/info/<RESOURCE> directory.

[PATCH v6 5/5] selftests/resctrl: Add non-contiguous CBMs CAT test

[Maciej Wieczor-Retman]

Add tests for both L2 and L3 CAT to verify the return values
generated by writing non-contiguous CBMs don't contradict the
reported non-contiguous support information.

Use a logical XOR to confirm return value of write_schemata() and
non-contiguous CBMs support information match.

Changelog v6:
- Change ret to int type for proper error returns. (Reinette)
- Add a check for bit_center variable to verify the CBM width isn't too
  small. Also add a comment to explain the check. (Reinette)

Changelog v5:
- Add Reinette's reviewed-by tag.
- Make 0xf UL in case the CBMs get bigger in the future. (Ilpo)

Changelog v4:
- Return failure instead of error on check of cpuid against sparse_masks
  and on contiguous write_schemata fail. (Reinette)

Changelog v3:
- Roll back __cpuid_count part. (Reinette)
- Update function name to read sparse_masks file.
- Roll back get_cache_level() changes.
- Add ksft_print_msg() to contiguous schemata write error handling
  (Reinette).

Changelog v2:
- Redo the patch message. (Ilpo)
- Tidy up __cpuid_count calls. (Ilpo)
- Remove redundant AND in noncont_mask calculations (Ilpo)
- Fix bit_center offset.
- Add newline before function return. (Ilpo)
- Group non-contiguous tests with CAT tests. (Ilpo)
- Use a helper for reading sparse_masks file. (Ilpo)
- Make get_cache_level() available in other source files. (Ilpo)

Hi Reinette,

Okay ran a quick test. Why does this test leave "/sys/fs/resctrl"
mounted when it exits. Can we fix this to unmount before the test
exits?

Please send a patch on top of linux-kselftest next.

This is unexpected. The test should unmount resctrl when done and I am
not able to reproduce what you are seeing. I tried with resctrl mounted
as well as unmounted before the test run. Could you please send the output
of your test run to hopefully get some hints about what is going on?

Please do note that resctrl does create the mountpoint upon initialization
so you should always, for example, see /sys/fs/resctrl, but it should
be unmounted and empty after a test run.

Below is what I am seeing when I try latest from kselftest next and mount
resctrl before the test. I see same state after test if I do not mount
resctrl before the test run.

../dev/linux$ mount | grep resctrl #not mounted

I also wasn't able to reproduce this unmounting issue:
- with unmounted resctrl before test:

	[/root]# ls /sys/fs/resctrl/
	[/root]#
	[/root]# ./resctrl_tests -t L3_NONCONT_CAT
	TAP version 13

	# Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
	[/root]# ls /sys/fs/resctrl/
	[/root]#

And with mounted before test:

	[/root]# ls /sys/fs/resctrl/
	[/root]#
	[/root]# mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
	[/root]# ls /sys/fs/resctrl/
	cpus  cpus_list  info  mode  mon_data  mon_groups  schemata  size  tasks
	[/root]# ./resctrl_tests -t L3_NONCONT_CAT
	TAP version 13
	# Pass: Check kernel supports resctrl filesystem
	# Pass: Check resctrl mountpoint "/sys/fs/resctrl" exists
	# resctrl filesystem is mounted
	# dmesg: [   12.502941] resctrl: L3 allocation detected
	# dmesg: [   12.507134] resctrl: MB allocation detected
	# dmesg: [   12.511315] resctrl: L3 monitoring detected
	1..1
	# Starting L3_NONCONT_CAT test ...
	# Mounting resctrl to "/sys/fs/resctrl"
	# Write schema "L3:1=3f" to resctrl FS
	# Write schema "L3:1=f0f" to resctrl FS # write() failed : Invalid argument
	# Non-contiguous CBMs not supported and write of non-contiguous CBM failed as expected
	ok 1 L3_NONCONT_CAT: test
	# Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
	[/root]# ls /sys/fs/resctrl/
	[/root]#

Looking at the code there is an unmounting function called after each test (at
the end of run_single_test() inside of test_cleanup()). The non-contiguous test
also doesn't write any data into a temp file so no additional cleanup is
necessary.
