android-4.9-eas-dev and hikey-linaro-4.9 merge conflicts

by Daniel Lezcano

Hi, I tried to update my branches but I'm facing a conflict issue [1] I also tried with a clean tree and the conflict is still there. Vincent had the same conflict. Not sure from where the problem is coming, any suggestion ? -- Daniel [1] https://pastebin.com/uFhz2bwe -- <http://www.linaro.org/> Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: <http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro> Facebook | <http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg> Twitter | <http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog/> Blog

[PATCH RFC 0/3] Optimize energy comparison algorithm

by Leo Yan

Hi all, First of all, this patch set is for energy comparison optimization. The performance of energy comparison is important if we want to add more candidate CPUs to pick best CPU. Another meaningful point for this patch set is to evaluate for energy calculation with task oriented. Current energy calculation algorithm is calculate CPU energy, this patch set is to change the concept so we get know what's the energy introduced by the waken task. With this patch set, below are measured energy calculation duration, the duration measurement relies on patch [1]; the statistics uses duration mean value (unit: ns) and we can see the performance improvement with this patchset: wl: workload runtime percentage% with period = 5ms Without Patches With Patches Opt % wl: 1% 11858 8457 28.7% wl: 5% 13028 9534 26.8% wl: 10% 9361 7831 16.3% wl: 20% 10736 7999 25.5% wl: 30% 8216 7210 12.2% wl: 40% 15222 9538 37.3% You could check the detailed testing results with LISA scripts [2][3].

[PATCH] samples/bpf: Add program for CPU state statistics

by Leo Yan

CPU is active when have running tasks on it and CPUFreq governor can select different operating points (OPP) according to different workload; we use 'pstate' to present CPU state which have running tasks with one specific OPP. On the other hand, CPU is idle which only idle task on it, CPUIdle governor can select one specific idle state to power off hardware logics; we use 'cstate' to present CPU idle state. Based on trace events 'cpu_idle' and 'cpu_frequency' we can accomplish the duration statistics for every state. Every time when CPU enters into or exits from idle states, the trace event 'cpu_idle' is recorded; trace event 'cpu_frequency' records the event for CPU OPP changing, so it's easily to know how long time the CPU stays in the specified OPP, and the CPU must be not in any idle state. This patch is to utilize the mentioned trace events for pstate and cstate statistics. To achieve more accurate profiling data, the program uses below sequence to insure CPU running/idle time aren't missed: - Before profiling the user space program wakes up all CPUs for once, so can avoid to missing account time for CPU staying in idle state for long time; the program forces to set 'scaling_max_freq' to lowest frequency and then restore 'scaling_max_freq' to highest frequency, this can ensure the frequency to be set to lowest frequency and later after start to run workload the frequency can be easily to be changed to higher frequency; - User space program reads map data and update statistics for every 5s, so this is same with other sample bpf programs for avoiding big overload introduced by bpf program self; - When send signal to terminate program, the signal handler wakes up all CPUs, set lowest frequency and restore highest frequency to 'scaling_max_freq'; this is exactly same with the first step so avoid to missing account CPU pstate and cstate time during last stage. Finally it reports the latest statistics. The program has been tested on Hikey board with octa CA53 CPUs, below is the example for statistics result: CPU 0 State : Duration(ms) Distribution cstate 0 : 47555 |********************************* | cstate 1 : 0 | | cstate 2 : 0 | | pstate 0 : 15239 |********* | pstate 1 : 1521 | | pstate 2 : 3188 |* | pstate 3 : 1836 | | pstate 4 : 94 | | CPU 1 State : Duration(ms) Distribution cstate 0 : 87 | | cstate 1 : 16264 |********** | cstate 2 : 50458 |*********************************** | pstate 0 : 832 | | pstate 1 : 131 | | pstate 2 : 825 | | pstate 3 : 787 | | pstate 4 : 4 | | CPU 2 State : Duration(ms) Distribution cstate 0 : 177 | | cstate 1 : 9363 |***** | cstate 2 : 55835 |*************************************** | pstate 0 : 1468 | | pstate 1 : 350 | | pstate 2 : 1062 | | pstate 3 : 1164 | | pstate 4 : 7 | | CPU 3 State : Duration(ms) Distribution cstate 0 : 89 | | cstate 1 : 14546 |********* | cstate 2 : 51591 |*********************************** | pstate 0 : 907 | | pstate 1 : 231 | | pstate 2 : 894 | | pstate 3 : 1154 | | pstate 4 : 17 | | CPU 4 State : Duration(ms) Distribution cstate 0 : 101 | | cstate 1 : 16904 |*********** | cstate 2 : 49544 |********************************** | pstate 0 : 678 | | pstate 1 : 230 | | pstate 2 : 770 | | pstate 3 : 1065 | | pstate 4 : 8 | | CPU 5 State : Duration(ms) Distribution cstate 0 : 95 | | cstate 1 : 18377 |************ | cstate 2 : 47609 |********************************* | pstate 0 : 1165 | | pstate 1 : 243 | | pstate 2 : 818 | | pstate 3 : 1007 | | pstate 4 : 9 | | CPU 6 State : Duration(ms) Distribution cstate 0 : 102 | | cstate 1 : 16629 |********** | cstate 2 : 49335 |********************************** | pstate 0 : 836 | | pstate 1 : 253 | | pstate 2 : 895 | | pstate 3 : 1275 | | pstate 4 : 6 | | CPU 7 State : Duration(ms) Distribution cstate 0 : 88 | | cstate 1 : 16070 |********** | cstate 2 : 50279 |*********************************** | pstate 0 : 948 | | pstate 1 : 214 | | pstate 2 : 873 | | pstate 3 : 952 | | pstate 4 : 0 | | Cc: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano(a)linaro.org> Cc: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot(a)linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Leo Yan <leo.yan(a)linaro.org> --- samples/bpf/Makefile | 4 + samples/bpf/cpustat_kern.c | 281 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ samples/bpf/cpustat_user.c | 234 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 519 insertions(+) create mode 100644 samples/bpf/cpustat_kern.c create mode 100644 samples/bpf/cpustat_user.c diff --git a/samples/bpf/Makefile b/samples/bpf/Makefile index adeaa13..e5d747f 100644 --- a/samples/bpf/Makefile +++ b/samples/bpf/Makefile @@ -41,6 +41,7 @@ hostprogs-y += xdp_redirect_map hostprogs-y += xdp_redirect_cpu hostprogs-y += xdp_monitor hostprogs-y += syscall_tp +hostprogs-y += cpustat # Libbpf dependencies LIBBPF := ../../tools/lib/bpf/bpf.o @@ -89,6 +90,7 @@ xdp_redirect_map-objs := bpf_load.o $(LIBBPF) xdp_redirect_map_user.o xdp_redirect_cpu-objs := bpf_load.o $(LIBBPF) xdp_redirect_cpu_user.o xdp_monitor-objs := bpf_load.o $(LIBBPF) xdp_monitor_user.o syscall_tp-objs := bpf_load.o $(LIBBPF) syscall_tp_user.o +cpustat-objs := bpf_load.o $(LIBBPF) cpustat_user.o # Tell kbuild to always build the programs always := $(hostprogs-y) @@ -137,6 +139,7 @@ always += xdp_redirect_map_kern.o always += xdp_redirect_cpu_kern.o always += xdp_monitor_kern.o always += syscall_tp_kern.o +always += cpustat_kern.o HOSTCFLAGS += -I$(objtree)/usr/include HOSTCFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/tools/lib/ @@ -179,6 +182,7 @@ HOSTLOADLIBES_xdp_redirect_map += -lelf HOSTLOADLIBES_xdp_redirect_cpu += -lelf HOSTLOADLIBES_xdp_monitor += -lelf HOSTLOADLIBES_syscall_tp += -lelf +HOSTLOADLIBES_cpustat += -lelf # Allows pointing LLC/CLANG to a LLVM backend with bpf support, redefine on cmdline: # make samples/bpf/ LLC=~/git/llvm/build/bin/llc CLANG=~/git/llvm/build/bin/clang diff --git a/samples/bpf/cpustat_kern.c b/samples/bpf/cpustat_kern.c new file mode 100644 index 0000000..68c84da --- /dev/null +++ b/samples/bpf/cpustat_kern.c @@ -0,0 +1,281 @@ +// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +#include <linux/version.h> +#include <linux/ptrace.h> +#include <uapi/linux/bpf.h> +#include "bpf_helpers.h" + +/* + * The CPU number, cstate number and pstate number are based + * on 96boards Hikey with octa CA53 CPUs. + * + * Every CPU have three idle states for cstate: + * WFI, CPU_OFF, CLUSTER_OFF + * + * Every CPU have 5 operating points: + * 208MHz, 432MHz, 729MHz, 960MHz, 1200MHz + * + * This code is based on these assumption and other platforms + * need to adjust these definitions. + */ +#define MAX_CPU 8 +#define MAX_PSTATE_ENTRIES 5 +#define MAX_CSTATE_ENTRIES 3 + +static int cpu_opps[] = { 208000, 432000, 729000, 960000, 1200000 };

[RFC PATCH] sched/fair: load balance within a cluster

by Steven Miao

From: Erin Yang <erin.yang(a)mstarsemi.com> From: Erin Yang <erin.yang(a)mstarsemi.com> The two conditions, “target_capacity” and “target_max_spare_cap”, in find_best_target() are not enough to result in a good load balance within a cluster. For example, there are 2 little (say core 0 & 1) and 2 big (say core 2 & 3) cores. The capacity of little and big cores are 500 and 1024, respectively. Step 1: A task with task_util 100 and boost value 50 comes. So, it starts from big cores. Finally, CPU 3 is selected. Step 2: A task with task_util 10 and boost value 50 comes. So, it starts from big cores. Finally, CPU 3 is selected again. If we add an extra condition, "target_max_free_util", CPU 2 can be selected instead at Step 2. Assume current cpu utility is as follows. Capacity_orig cpu_util CPU 0 500 100 CPU 1 500 100 CPU 2 1024 100 CPU 3 1024 100 Step 2. A task with task_util 100 and boost value 50 comes. So, it starts from big cores. Finally, CPU 3 is selected.

Pelt vs Walt

by Viresh Kumar

Hello, I did some comparisons of Pelt and Walt and have some very interesting performance results that I wanted to share with all of you. I haven't got any power numbers as I don't have setup for that. Key points: - All the tests were done on Hikey960, with a 5V Fan placed over the SoC to cool it down. - HDMI port was disconnected while running tests. - CONFIG_SCHED_TUNE was configured out to keep things simple. - Only the PCmark bench was tested, with help of workload automation. - Below number shows the average out of 3 runs, performed during a single kernel boot cycle. - Pelt 8/16/32 are the half-life periods. - While testing Pelt, CONFIG_WALT was disabled. +------------------+----------+------------+------------+-----------+ | | | | | | | Test name | WALT | Pelt 8 ms | Pelt 16 ms | Pelt 32 ms| +------------------+----------+------------+------------+-----------+ | | | | | | | DataManipulation | 5341 | 5561 | 5453 | 5400 | | | | | | | | PhotoEditingV2 | 9015 | 8577 | 7911 | 6043 | | | | | | | | VideoEditing | 0 | 4291 | 3746 | 3755 | | | | | | | | WebV2 | 6202 | 6448 | 5465 | 4648 | | | | | | | | Workv2 | 0 | 5697 | 5069 | 4517 | | | | | | | | WritingV2 | 4302 | 4549 | 3811 | 3306 | +------------------+----------+------------+------------+-----------+ As you can see in the results Pelt 8 is very much comparable to the Walt results now. Hurray ? :) A detailed report is present here with some more useful numbers: https://goo.gl/eCx4Pk How to replicate setup: - Android kernel tree: https://git.linaro.org/people/vireshk/mylinux.git android-4.9-hikey This has several patches over latest 4.9-hikey aosp tree. - Some patches to reduce disturbances, which Vincent shared earlier with a document. - "thermal: Add debugfs support for cooling devices" and "cpufreq: stats: New sysfs attribute for clearing statistics" are used to read some more data from userspace after tests are done which can be used to build conclusions on working of pelt/walt and how they are behaving differently. For example, we can know the amount of time we spent on individual cpu frequencies while the test was running. And also the time for which cpu-cooling and devfreq (ddr) has throttled some frequencies. - Pelt 16 and pelt 8 patches. The below changes are required to capture the extra data that I have captured in my sheet above. I have attached pelt_walt.sh script, which you need to push to /data: $ adb push pelt_walt.sh /data And I have updated the pcmark plugin file to run the script and collect data. That is attached as well. Happy testing !! I heard from Vincent earlier that ARM did similar testing earlier on but never found anything significant. Why ? I may have an answer to that, not sure though. I found a patch from Juri which someone is using: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm/+/b52bb1f248e4cef65edaece54a68c… and one of the problem here is that the patch hasn't updated the __accumulated_sum_N32 array, but only runnable_avg_yN_inv and runnable_avg_yN_sum. That's pretty much it. Thanks for reading. -- viresh

[PATCH for-android-4.9] sched: walt: Prevent double accounting of task_util()

by Viresh Kumar

The comment inside cpu_util_wake() clearly says that the task_util() isn't subtracted from cpu_util() as WALT doesn't decay idle tasks like PELT does. That probably works fine in most of the cases, but there is at least one case (find_best_target()) where we will account for task_util() twice. There are significant side effects of this, the most observed one is that it makes the task move to a big CPU instead of the LITTLE ones. And thus provide better results with various benchmarks, like PCMark. Fix that. Reported-by: vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot(a)linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar(a)linaro.org> --- Hi, I don't have knowledge in great depths of either Walt or Pelt, but we noticed something incorrect and wanted to check with others if the finding is correct. If others agree that this is indeed the right fix, then I will send it for Android gerrit. This was tested as part of my Pelt Vs Walt work and I have noticed significant performance difference with and without this patch. With this patch, the amount of time spent by the big cluster in the highest OPP is reduced significantly and thus we get a bit lower numbers with PCMark for example. kernel/sched/fair.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/kernel/sched/fair.c b/kernel/sched/fair.c index 2f5925cc541f..06246e02ea09 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/fair.c +++ b/kernel/sched/fair.c @@ -6812,6 +6812,14 @@ static inline int find_best_target(struct task_struct *p, int *backup_cpu, * accounting.

cpu hotplug & up-migrate will cause kernel panic

Hi Joonwoo, Chris, When porting EAS1.4 to our platform which is SMP(4*A7, k4.4), we encountered kernel panic frequently after applied following patches: * | 9e293db sched: EAS: upmigrate misfit current task * | dc626b2 sched: avoid pushing tasks to an offline CPU * | 2da014c sched: Extend active balance to accept 'push_task' argument After applying these three patches, leaving EAS disabled and doing a stability test which includes some random cpu plugin/plugout, kernel panic sometimes happened, always with the same stack as below: [ 214.742695] c1 ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 214.742709] c1 kernel BUG at /space/builder/repo/sprdroid8.1_trunk/kernel/kernel/smpboot.c:136!

[PATCH 1/3] cpufreq: schedutil: Use idle_calls counter of the remote CPU

by Joel Fernandes

Since the recent remote cpufreq callback work, its possible that a cpufreq update is triggered from a remote CPU. For single policies however, the current code uses the local CPU when trying to determine if the remote sg_cpu entered idle or is busy. This is incorrect. To remedy this, compare with the nohz tick idle_calls counter of the remote CPU.
