[RFC 2/2] selftest/cpuidle: Add support for cpuidle latency measurement

Pratik Rajesh Sampat
2021-03-15T11:49:47Z

The cpuidle latency selftest provides support to systematically extract,
analyse and present IPI and timer based wakeup latencies for each CPU
and each idle state available on the system.

The selftest leverages test-cpuidle_latency module's debugfs interface
to interact and extract latency information from the kernel.

The selftest inserts the module if already not inserted, disables all
the idle states and enables them one by one testing the following:
1. Keeping source CPU constant, iterate through all the CPUS measuring
IPI latency for baseline (CPU is busy with cat /dev/random > /dev/null
workload) and then when the CPU is allowed to be at rest
2. Iterating through all the CPUs, sending expected timer durations to
be equivalent to the residency of the deepest idle state enabled
and extracting the difference in time between the time of wakeup and
the expected timer duration

To run this test specifically:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS="cpuidle" run_tests

There are a few optinal arguments too that the script can take
[-h <help>]
[-m <location of the module>]
[-o <location of the output>]
[-v <verbose> (run on all cpus)]
Default Output location in: tools/testing/cpuidle/cpuidle.log
