[PATCH] x86, cpufeature: Fix duplicate feature name "dts"

[Jean Delvare]

From: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
Subject: x86, cpufeature: Fix duplicate feature name "dts"

We currently have two different x86 CPU features reported as "dts"
in /proc/cpuinfo: Debug Store and Digital Thermal Sensor. Change the
former to "ds" which makes more sense anyway, to clear up the
confusion.

Good spotting, but I'm worried this is the wrong fix.

This is a userspace ABI change, and the and we have used "dts" for debug
store (debug trace store?) for a very long tie, whereas digital thermal
sensor only has been used since 2010; another *major* question is which
of these is more likely to be of interest to userspace.

Jan, do you have any feeling on this?

I am aware of this problem. I found the bug because I was looking for
the Digital Thermal Sensor feature, and /proc/cpuinfo said "dts" but
the driver wouldn't work, this confused me. So at least the Digital
Thermal Sensor is of interest. That being said I believe interest is
more from humans than software, which is why I do not feel bad changing
it. The current situation could already lead to false positives anyway,
both for humans and software.

If your "right fix" is to find something else for the Digital Thermal
Sensor, I doubt you can find something that won't confuse people even
more. Especially when there is also the Package Thermal Sensor feature
which is properly labeled "pts" already. "DTS" is widely used in the
technical documentation to refer to this feature.

And FWIW, X86_FEATURE_DS has no user in the kernel. Doesn't look like a
key feature to me, but maybe my view is biased...

No, but apparently perfmon2 depends on it, in userspace, and it relies
on the string.

So this is a nonstarter.

Maybe call the sensor thing "dtsen" or something similarly short but not
"dts"?

Plus add a kernel build time check to avoid such string clashes 
in the future? These acronyms tend to be short and hard to read, 
I'd not be surprised if this repeated in the future.

Another *MASSIVE* fail is that an x86 cpufeature was added by a patch
that went through the hwmon tree without any x86 maintainer ACK, and
with a subject line that would not have made anyone aware of it:

a4659053 x86/hwmon: fix initialization of coretemp

We maintain x86/cpufeature as a separate -tip branch for a reason:
changes to that stuff mucks with *everything* as it is.

Now that you already figured that there is user space code
depending on the current (questionable) string, I don't think
it matters much - I would have preferred to correct the string
to match the CPUID documentation (albeit I seem to recall
that early on the bit was indeed named DTS in the doc).

Wouldn't it be helpful if mkcapflags.pl detected duplicates?

x86, cpufeature: Rename X86_FEATURE_DTS to X86_FEATURE_DTHERM

It makes sense to label "Digital Thermal Store" as "DTS", but
unfortunately the string "dts" was already used for "Debug Store", and
/proc/cpuinfo is a user space ABI.

Therefore, rename this to "dtherm".

This conflict went into mainline via the hwmon tree without any x86
maintainer ack, and without any kind of hint in the subject.

I see the rationale for changing the string in /proc/cpuinfo, and
"dtherm" is reasonably good. I fail to see the rationale for changing
the X86_FEATURE_ name though, this is an API change we don't need. Plus
X86_FEATURE_DTS has the merit of naming the feature the way it is
commonly done in technical documentation, so readers know exactly what
it refers too, which isn't the case of DTHERM. So can we please stick
to X86_FEATURE_DTS?

All 3 x86 maintainers were Cc'd, none commented. And you know fairly
well why the patch went through the hwmon tree. So please stop the
finger-pointing. It's unfortunate that it happened, but it did, and we
try to fix it now, period.

Except that *really* seems like begging for similar problems in the future.

With your other patch to catch such collisions, I think we should be
just safe from now on?

The ABI divergence already exists and will have to be dealt with
anyway. All you're doing by pushing the changes to stable trees is
making its shape more complex, and increasing the risk of conflict.
Such a conflict already happened, BTW...

It isn't about finger-pointing, it is about a failure of process; we had 
a process that would have caught this problem and the process failed. 
There are certainly blame enough to go around, but I think one of the 
things here is that lack of response isn't necessary an ACK - it may 
actually be that the patch looked at first glance like it had no impact 
on our area (incorrectly as it turned out.)

Let me be clear: I'm not blaming you, or anyone else, personally.  Like 
many other failures, there were a number of steps in the chain here, one 
of them being not checking this in the script from the beginning, and 
that one is mine.

x86, cpufeature: Catch duplicate CPU feature strings

We had a case of duplicate CPU feature strings, a user space ABI
violation, for almost two years.  Make it a build error so that
doesn't happen again.

x86, cpufeature: Rename X86_FEATURE_DTS to X86_FEATURE_DTHERM

It makes sense to label "Digital Thermal Sensor" as "DTS", but
unfortunately the string "dts" was already used for "Debug Store", and
/proc/cpuinfo is a user space ABI.

Therefore, rename this to "dtherm".

This conflict went into mainline via the hwmon tree without any x86
maintainer ack, and without any kind of hint in the subject.

You added an extra %s in the string, can't think of a good reason for
it. perl -w would have told you, I think we should add it.

Other than this, the code looks good and the improvement reasonable, so
you can add:

Ah yes, a leftover from testing.

x86, cpufeature: Remove stray %s, add -w to mkcapflags.pl

There was a stray %s left from testing, remove it.

Add -w to the #! line (which is parsed by Perl even if the Perl
interpreter is invoked explicitly on the command line) to catch these
kinds of errors in the future.
