[PATCH v5 0/7] Performance counter implementation with single manual client support

[PATCH v5 0/7] Performance counter implementation with single manual client support

[Lukas Zapolskas]

Hello,

This patch set implements initial support for performance counter
sampling in Panthor, as a follow-up for Adrián Larumbe's patch
set [1]. This version of the patch series fixes a number of issues,
including FW ring buffer wrapping and IRQ handling for the
performance counter IRQs. The size of the sample is also added
to the uAPI, allowing for the PERF_INFO DEV_QUERY to be sufficient
to handle backwards and forwards compatibility of the interface.
The Mesa implementation is also now available [2].

Existing performance counter workflows, such as those in game
engines, and user-space power models/governor implementations
require the ability to simultaneously obtain counter data. The
hardware and firmware interfaces support a single global
configuration, meaning the kernel must allow for the multiplexing.
It is also in the best position to supplement the counter data
with contextual information about elapsed sampling periods,
information on the power state transitions undergone during
the sampling period, and cycles elapsed on specific clocks chosen
by the integrator.

Each userspace client creates a session, providing an enable
mask of counter values it requires, a BO for a ring buffer,
and a separate BO for the insert and extract indices, along with
an eventfd to signal counter capture, all of which are kept fixed
for the lifetime of the session. When emitting a sample for a
session, counters that were not requested are stripped out,
and non-counter information needed to interpret counter values
is added to either the sample header, or the block header,
which are stored in-line with the counter values in the sample.

The proposed uAPI specifies two major sources of supplemental
information:
- coarse-grained block state transitions are provided on newer
  FW versions which support the metadata block, a FW-provided
  counter block which indicates the reason a sample was taken
  when entering or exiting a non-counting region, or when a
  shader core has powered down.
- clock cycles elapsed over the sampling period and
  clocks associated with a particular block. This is
  because the clock assignments depend on the system
  integration, and are needed to normalize counters
  representing clock values.

All of the sessions are then aggregated by the sampler, which
handles the programming of the FW interface and subsequent
handling of the samples coming from FW.

v5:
- Started re-using perf info size fields instead of
  recomputing the size where needed
- Removed panthor_file pointer to the drm_file
- Fixed ordering of subsystem unplug on init failure
- Using the kernel struct size to allocate memory for user-passed
  uAPI struct.
- Inlined panthor_perf_sampler_{suspend,resume} into
  panthor_perf_{suspend,resume}
- Inlined
- Updated all callers of CIRC_SPACE_TO_END to use CIRC_SPACE
  for correct ring buffer wraparound.
- Free the session and sampler enable maps on termination
- Drop the return values from panthor_perf_{suspend,resume}
- Update userdata and end timestamp on accumulation
- Removed the ptdev checks on suspend and resume paths
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/cover.1747148172.git.lukas.zapolskas@arm.com/

v4:
- Added sample size to the uAPI.
- Clarified the bit-to-counter mapping for enable masks.
- Fixed IRQ handling: the PERFCNT_THRESHOLD and PERFCNT_OVERFLOW
  interrupts can be handled by checking the difference between the
  REQ and ACK bits, whereas PERFCNT_SAMPLE needs external data to
  validate.
- FW ring buffer indices are now only wrapped when reading the buffer
  and are otherwise left in their pre-wrapped form.
- Accumulation index is now bumped after the first copy.
- All insert and extract index reads now use the proper, full-width
  type.
- L2 slices are now computed via a macro to extract the relevant
  bits from the MEM_FEATURES register. This macro was moved from
  the uAPI due to changes in the register making it unstable.
- Consistently take the sampler lock to check if a sample has been
  requested.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/cover.1743517880.git.lukas.zapolskas@arm.com/

v3:
- Fixed offset issues into FW ring buffer
- Fixed sparse shader core handling
- Added pre- and post- reset handlers
- Added module param to control size of FW ring buffer
- Clarified naming on sampler functions
- Added error logging for PERF_SETUP
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20241211165024.490748-1-lukas.zapolskas@arm.com/

[PATCH v5 1/7] drm/panthor: Add performance counter uAPI

[Lukas Zapolskas]

This patch extends the DEV_QUERY ioctl to return information about the
performance counter setup for userspace, and introduces the new
ioctl DRM_PANTHOR_PERF_CONTROL in order to allow for the sampling of
performance counters.

The new design is inspired by the perf aux ringbuffer [0], with the
insert and extract indices being mapped to userspace, allowing
multiple samples to be exposed at any given time. To avoid pointer
chasing, the sample metadata and block metadata are inline with
the elements they describe.

Userspace is responsible for passing in resources for samples to be
exposed, including the event file descriptor for notification of new
sample availability, the ringbuffer BO to store samples, and the
control BO along with the offset for mapping the insert and extract
indices. Though these indices are only a total of 8 bytes, userspace
can then reuse the same physical page for tracking the state of
multiple buffers by giving different offsets from the BO start to
map them.

[PATCH v5 2/7] drm/panthor: Add DEV_QUERY.PERF_INFO handling for Gx10

[Lukas Zapolskas]

This change adds the IOCTL to query data about the performance counter
setup. Some of this data was available via previous DEV_QUERY calls,
for instance for GPU info, but exposing it via PERF_INFO
minimizes the overhead of creating a single session to just the one
aggregate IOCTL.

[PATCH v5 4/7] drm/panthor: Introduce sampling sessions to handle userspace clients

[Lukas Zapolskas]

To allow for combining the requests from multiple userspace clients,
an intermediary layer between the HW/FW interfaces and userspace is
created, containing the information for the counter requests and
tracking of insert and extract indices. Each session starts inactive
and must be explicitly activated via PERF_CONTROL.START, and
explicitly stopped via PERF_CONTROL.STOP. Userspace identifies a
single client with its session ID and the panthor file it is
associated with.

The SAMPLE and STOP commands both produce a single sample when called,
and these samples can be disambiguated via the opaque user data field
passed in the PERF_CONTROL uAPI. If this functionality is not desired,
these fields can be kept as zero, as the kernel copies this value into
the corresponding sample without attempting to interpret it.

Currently, only manual sampling sessions are supported, providing
samples when userspace calls PERF_CONTROL.SAMPLE, and only a single
session is allowed at a time. Multiple sessions and periodic sampling
will be enabled in following patches.

No protection is provided against the 32-bit hardware counter
overflows, so for the moment it is up to userspace to ensure that
the counters are sampled at a reasonable frequency.

The counter set enum is added to the uapi to clarify the restrictions
on calling the interface.

[PATCH v5 5/7] drm/panthor: Implement the counter sampler and sample handling

[Lukas Zapolskas]

From: Adrián Larumbe <adrian.larumbe@collabora.com>

The sampler aggregates counter and set requests coming from userspace
and mediates interactions with the FW interface, to ensure that user
sessions cannot override the global configuration.

From the top-level interface, the sampler supports two different types
of samples: clearing samples and regular samples. Clearing samples are
a special sample type that allow for the creation of a sampling
baseline, to ensure that a session does not obtain counter data from
before its creation.

Upon receipt of a relevant interrupt, corresponding to one of the
three relevant bits of the GLB_ACK register, the sampler takes any
samples that occurred, and, based on the insert and extract indices,
accumulates them to an internal storage buffer after zero-extending
the counters from the 32-bit counters emitted by the hardware to
64-bit counters for internal accumulation.

When the performance counters are enabled, the FW ensures no counter
data is lost when entering and leaving non-counting regions by
producing automatic samples that do not correspond to a
GLB_REQ.PRFCNT_SAMPLE request. Such regions may be per hardware unit,
such as when a shader core powers down, or global. Most of these
events do not directly correspond to session sample requests, so any
intermediary counter data must be stored into a temporary
accumulation buffer.

If there are sessions waiting for a sample, this accumulated buffer
will be taken, and emitted for each waiting client. During this phase,
information like the timestamps of sample request and sample emission,
type of the counter block and block index annotations are added to the
sample header and block headers. If no sessions are waiting for
a sample, this accumulation buffer is kept until the next time a
sample is requested.

Special handling is needed for the PRFCNT_OVERFLOW interrupt, which is
an indication that the internal sample handling rate was insufficient.

The sampler also maintains a buffer descriptor indicating the
structure of a firmware sample, since neither the firmware nor the
hardware give any indication of the sample structure, only that it
is composed out of three parts:
 - the metadata is an optional initial counter block on supporting
   firmware versions that contains a single counter, indicating the
   reason a sample was taken when entering global non-counting regions.
   This is used to provide coarse-grained information about why a
   sample was taken to userspace, to help userspace interpret
   variations in counter magnitude (the handling for this will be
   implemented in another patch series).
 - the firmware component of the sample is composed out of a global
   firmware counter block on supporting firmware versions.
 - the hardware component is the most sizeable of the three and
   contains a block of counters for each of the underlying hardware
   resources. It has a fixed structure that is described in the
   architecture specification, and contains the command stream
   hardware block(s), the tiler block(s), the MMU and L2 blocks
   (collectively named the memsys blocks) and the shader core blocks,
   in that order.
The structure of this buffer changes based on the firmware and
hardware combination, but is constant on a single system.

This buffer descriptor also handles the sparseness of the shader cores,
wherein the physical core mask contains holes, but the memory allocated
for it is done based on the position of the most significant bit. In
cases with highly sparse core masks, this means that a lot of shader
counter blocks are empty, and must be skipped.

The number of ring buffer slots is configurable through module param
to allow for a lower memory footprint on memory constrained systems.

[PATCH v5 6/7] drm/panthor: Add suspend, resume and reset handling

[Lukas Zapolskas]

The sampler must disable and re-enable counter sampling around
suspends, and must re-program the FW interface after a reset to
avoid losing data.

[PATCH v5 7/7] drm/panthor: Expose the panthor perf ioctls

[Lukas Zapolskas]

This patch implements the PANTHOR_PERF_CONTROL ioctl series, and
a PANTHOR_GET_UOBJ wrapper to deal with the backwards and forwards
compatibility of the uAPI.

The minor version is bumped to indicate that the feature is now
supported.

I might've mentioned this in a previous review, but maybe we could add PRFCNT_FEATURES register
access in this commit, and both ways of retrieving the number of counters per block depending
in the CSF firmware version?

Other than that:

Do we need this to be a bitmap? It would seem from the description of the states
that so far they're disjoint, in the sense that no session can go through overflow
without being active first. And then I'm assuming going from session stop to
session active would maybe entail toggling the overflow bit too?

Re: [PATCH v5 5/7] drm/panthor: Implement the counter sampler and sample handling

[Adrián Larumbe]

Hi Lukas,

I've reviewed this patch in the series last of them all, and it looks good.
It'd be interesting to see how it works together with UM though. I remember
you mentioned you were working on a Mesa implementation of perfcnt for Mali CSF.

Ideally, you'd reference it in a cover letter on a next revision for this series
so that I can do hands-on testing.

Nit: Maybe 'pos' could be better described as 'block_number'? I find 'pos' a little bit too broad in meaning.

Because phys_mask is always set with BLK_MASK(), then
GENMASK_ULL(pos, 0), 'pos' being less than the total number of blocks of
a certain type, it follows that mask & phys_mask == mask, so I've the
suspicion that it'll always hold that *idx == pos .

Is this really necessary? I might've asked it in a previous review but I
guess you're doing this in case the annotated upscaled sample is accumulated into
rather than being just populated from the latest FW sample slot?

I guess you're not checking kzalloc's return value because struct
panthor_perf_enable_masks isn't too big either, but in that case you
might as well embed it in the sampler struct.

Re: [PATCH v5 5/7] drm/panthor: Implement the counter sampler and sample handling

[Adrián Larumbe]

Hi Lukas, it seems I forgot to add a little review remark to the additions in the Panthor FW header file

Also, it seems the kernel bot has reported a build error in this patch.

These are probably best added in their own separate commit, right before the present one.
I think it's customary to add register and HW interface definitions before the commits that use them.
