Some ARM platforms mux the PMU interrupt of every core into a single SPI. On such platforms if the PMU of any core except 0 raises an interrupt then it cannot be serviced and eventually, if you are lucky, the spurious irq detection might forcefully disable the interrupt.
On these SoCs it is not possible to determine which core raised the interrupt so workaround this issue by queuing irqwork on the other cores whenever the primary interrupt handler is unable to service the interrupt.
The u8500 platform has an alternative workaround that dynamically alters the affinity of the PMU interrupt. This workaround logic is no longer required so the original code is removed as is the hook it relied upon.
Tested on imx6q (which has fours cores/PMUs all muxed to a single SPI).

I agree that the workaround for this design "feature" should live in the architectural perf code rather than in board files.
I had intended to implement that atop of my heterogeneous CPUs series [1] (so as to only target the subset of cores for a given PMU), but I only had an affinity bouncing implementation, and the general approach looks like it has the potential to be far better in terms of latency.
Hwoever, I have some concerns with the implementation below.
Tested on imx6q (which has fours cores/PMUs all muxed to a single SPI).

I don't think this needs to live on the struct arm_pmu; we're unlikely to need a different callback given this is already generic to CPUs, so we can just call it directly.
Once Will's arm-perf-3.19 tag hits mainline (with my perf cleanups series) the CCI will be decoupled [2] and the arm_pmu framework will only be used by CPU PMUs.
int single_irq;
With my heterogeneous PMUs series you shouldn't need this, there will be an irq_map with a single entry instead.
struct arm_pmu_work __percpu *work;
In my cleanups series I folded all the percpu data into the pmu_hw_events. It would be nice to fold this too if possible, so as to make allocation and freeing simpler. We already have a percpu_pmu pointer with my series applied, so we don't need the arm_pmu pointer.
If it feels like we're straying too far from hw events data we can rename the structure to pmu_cpu_data or something like that.

Some ARM platforms mux the PMU interrupt of every core into a single SPI. On such platforms if the PMU of any core except 0 raises an interrupt then it cannot be serviced and eventually, if you are lucky, the spurious irq detection might forcefully disable the interrupt.
On these SoCs it is not possible to determine which core raised the interrupt so workaround this issue by queuing irqwork on the other cores whenever the primary interrupt handler is unable to service the interrupt.
The u8500 platform has an alternative workaround that dynamically alters the affinity of the PMU interrupt. This workaround logic is no longer required so the original code is removed as is the hook it relied upon.
I agree that the workaround for this design "feature" should live in the architectural perf code rather than in board files.
I had intended to implement that atop of my heterogeneous CPUs series [1] (so as to only target the subset of cores for a given PMU), but I only had an affinity bouncing implementation, and the general approach looks like it has the potential to be far better in terms of latency.
Hwoever, I have some concerns with the implementation below.
Tested on imx6q (which has fours cores/PMUs all muxed to a single SPI).

I don't think this needs to live on the struct arm_pmu; we're unlikely to need a different callback given this is already generic to CPUs, so we can just call it directly.
Once Will's arm-perf-3.19 tag hits mainline (with my perf cleanups series) the CCI will be decoupled [2] and the arm_pmu framework will only be used by CPU PMUs.
I didn't much like this either but it allowed all the workaround code to be in the same place (and to easily decide whether to deploy the workaround).
I will take a closer look at the new code.
int single_irq;
With my heterogeneous PMUs series you shouldn't need this, there will be an irq_map with a single entry instead.
Ok.
struct arm_pmu_work __percpu *work;
In my cleanups series I folded all the percpu data into the pmu_hw_events. It would be nice to fold this too if possible, so as to make allocation and freeing simpler. We already have a percpu_pmu pointer with my series applied, so we don't need the arm_pmu pointer.
I'll have a look. All this codes needs is for an irq_work structure and arm_pmu pointer to be part of the same structure (for container_of).
If it feels like we're straying too far from hw events data we can rename the structure to pmu_cpu_data or something like that.

You are right. This check will probably never fire and, even if it did, the code below will (mostly) cope.

Could that prevent us from re-enabling the interrupt? Or are we protected from that someehow?
We can't get_online_cpus() since we are running in an interrupt handler.
Still looking at the least racy way to handle that...
We could copy the online mask and use that to manipulate the atomic and iterate over the map. That would make it impossible for the workaround function to mismanage remaining_work although we do rely on the irq_work_queue_on() actually resulting in the work being done. It looks like that code relies on winning a race with the CPU_DYING notifier chain to achieve that but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm a little confused as to what's going on here. Why are we checking the return code for the work triggered by the _previous_ interrupt before queueing up the next work item?
The workaround exits immediately without waiting for the results from other CPUs. That means we can't figure out whether to return IRQ_NONE or IRQ_HANDLED.
We could unconditionally return IRQ_HANDLED but this would de-fang the spurious interrupt detector so instead we use the previous values to make an informed guess about the likelihood of the interrupt being real. This code will not trigger the spurious interrupt detector in normal cases but will if the interrupt really did get wedged due to a bad DT or something like that.
Should I expand the comment or just return IRQ_HANDLED in all cases?
As far as I can tell, work_ret was never initialised, so what does this do for the first round?
Sends back a stupid value. I'll fix this.

If we initialise remaining work to the number of CPUs minus one, we can drop this last bit, and another CPU will always re-enable the interrupt.
My code originally did that but if we do that then we have to add an atomic_dec_and_test()/enable_irq() into the main loop. I didn't really like that because it was harder to scan for mismatched up disable/enables.
I've no idea how the extra atomic manipulation trades off against the extra memory barriers if we use atomic_dec_and_test() in the loop.

Notes: v2 was tested on u8500 (thanks to Linus Walleij). v3 doesn't change anything conceptual but the changes were just enough for me not to preserve the Tested-By:.
v3: * Removed function pointer indirection when deploying workaround code and reorganise the code accordingly (Mark Rutland). * Move the workaround state tracking into the existing percpu data structure (Mark Rutland). * Renamed cret to percpu_ret and rewrote the comment describing the purpose of this variable (Mark Rutland). * Copy the cpu_online_mask and use that to act on a consistent set of cpus throughout the workaround (Mark Rutland). * Changed "single_irq" to "muxed_spi" to more explicitly describe the problem.

Tested on imx6q (which has fours cores/PMUs all muxed to a single SPI).

We are more getting away without a memory barrier... the spurious interrupt detector won't really mind if we see an out of date value (since it can tolerate getting the value wrong sometimes).
I think we can moot this issue though by removing the code. See below...

In general I prefer only to take return variables from variables on control paths where the return value is not constant.
However this will also become moot if I remove the work_ret logic.

What's this barrier needed for?
It pairs up with the implicit barrier in atomic_dec_and_test() and ensures the increment happens before the decrement (and therefore that the interrupt will be re-enabled).
It can be removed providing we can rely on there being an implicit barrier in irq_work_queue_on(). Internally this function uses arch_send_call_function_single_ipi() there is definitely a barrier for that all current arm and arm64 platforms.
I will remove this.

Why not for_each_online_cpu and then continue if cpu == smp_processor_id() ? I assume the race against hotplug is benign, as the interrupt will no longer be asserted to the GIC if the source CPU goes offline?
If cpu_online_mask changes after we have performed the atomic_add() but before (or during) the loop then we would mis-manage the value of remaining_work might fail to re-enable the interrupt.

Is this actually necessary, or can we always return handled?
Ultimately it depends if we need the spurious interrupt detection logic to work. The work_ret approach is rather nasty (and most of your review comments are linked to it one way or another). Thus I think I'm OK to remove this altogether; spurious interrupts are very unlikely for the PMU IRQ.
if (!irq_work_queue_on(&hw_events->work, cpu))
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&cpu_pmu->remaining_work))
I'm not convinced that we can't have old work racing on the remaining work field with a subsequent interrupt.
I don't think that can happen.
For the interrupt to be re-enabled all cores must the started executing their irq_work handlers and called atomic_dec_and_test(). Even though they may not have completed the pending flag is cleared before they are called making it safe to re-trigger them.
In fact even if that were not the case the error path for irq_work_queue_on() would resolve the problem for us (at the cost of re-entering the interrupt handler during races).
enable_irq(cpu_pmu->muxed_spi_workaround_irq);
"This function (enable_irq) may be called from IRQ context only when desc->irq_data.chip->bus_lock and desc->chip->bus_sync_unlock are NULL !"
Can we guarantee that in the general case?
For the PMU I think we can.
The irqchips that use these callbacks are found in one of the following directories:
arch/mips drivers/base/regmap drivers/gpio drivers/mfd drivers/platform/x86
All of above would be a pretty astonishing way to hook up an intimate peripheral like the PMU.

Oh no.
I built... I found that typo... I fixed... I soak tested for an hour on i.MX6 (because I had changed the function from which we deploy the workaround since v2).
After all that overlooking regenerating the patch before posting it really was rather foolish.
Sorry.
BTW I have just done a side by side diff with what I posted and what is in my git repo. The only other difference between what I tested and what I posted was a minor whitespace change.
Some ARM platforms mux the PMU interrupt of every core into a single SPI. On such platforms if the PMU of any core except 0 raises an interrupt then it cannot be serviced and eventually, if you are lucky, the spurious irq detection might forcefully disable the interrupt.
On these SoCs it is not possible to determine which core raised the interrupt so workaround this issue by queuing irqwork on the other cores whenever the primary interrupt handler is unable to service the interrupt.

Notes: v2 was tested on u8500 (thanks to Linus Walleij). v4 doesn't change anything conceptual but the changes were sufficient for me not to preserve the Tested-By:.
v4: * Ripped out the logic that tried to preserve the operation of the spurious interrupt detector. It was complex and not really needed (Will Deacon). * Removed a redundant memory barrier and added a comment explaining why it is not needed (Will Deacon). * Made fully safe w.r.t. hotplug by falling back to a work queue if there is a hotplug operation in flight when the PMU interrupt comes in (Will Deacon). The work queue code paths have been tested synthetically (by changing the if condition). * Posted the correct, as in compilable and tested, version of the code (Will Deacon).
v3: * Removed function pointer indirection when deploying workaround code and reorganise the code accordingly (Mark Rutland). * Move the workaround state tracking into the existing percpu data structure (Mark Rutland). * Renamed cret to percpu_ret and rewrote the comment describing the purpose of this variable (Mark Rutland). * Copy the cpu_online_mask and use that to act on a consistent set of cpus throughout the workaround (Mark Rutland). * Changed "single_irq" to "muxed_spi" to more explicitly describe the problem.
v2: * Fixed build problems on systems without SMP.
v1: * Thanks to Lucas Stach, Russell King and Thomas Gleixner for critiquing an older, completely different way to tackle the same problem.

Ah... thanks.
I'll revisit the atomic counter approach again.

Will do.
Daniel.
Some ARM platforms mux the PMU interrupt of every core into a single SPI. On such platforms if the PMU of any core except 0 raises an interrupt then it cannot be serviced and eventually, if you are lucky, the spurious irq detection might forcefully disable the interrupt.
On these SoCs it is not possible to determine which core raised the interrupt so workaround this issue by queuing irqwork on the other cores whenever the primary interrupt handler is unable to service the interrupt.
The u8500 platform has an alternative workaround that dynamically alters the affinity of the PMU interrupt. This workaround logic is no longer required so the original code is removed as is the hook it relied upon.
Tested on imx6q (which has fours cores/PMUs all muxed to a single SPI) using a simple soak, combined perf and CPU hotplug soak and using perf fuzzer's fast_repro.sh.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson daniel.thompson@linaro.org ---
Notes: v2 was tested on u8500 (thanks to Linus Walleij). v4 doesn't change anything conceptual but the changes were sufficient for me not to preserve the Tested-By:.
v5: * Removed the work queue nonsense; being completely race-free requires us to take a mutex or avoid dispatch from interrupt (Will Deacon). Replacement code can potentially race with a CPU hot unplug however it is careful to minimise exposure, to mitigate harmful effects and has fairly prominent comments.
v4: * Ripped out the logic that tried to preserve the operation of the spurious interrupt detector. It was complex and not really needed (Will Deacon). * Removed a redundant memory barrier and added a comment explaining why it is not needed (Will Deacon). * Made fully safe w.r.t. hotplug by falling back to a work queue if there is a hotplug operation in flight when the PMU interrupt comes in (Will Deacon). The work queue code paths have been tested synthetically (by changing the if condition). * Posted the correct, as in compilable and tested, version of the code (Will Deacon).
v3: * Removed function pointer indirection when deploying workaround code and reorganise the code accordingly (Mark Rutland). * Move the workaround state tracking into the existing percpu data structure (Mark Rutland). * Renamed cret to percpu_ret and rewrote the comment describing the purpose of this variable (Mark Rutland). * Copy the cpu_online_mask and use that to act on a consistent set of cpus throughout the workaround (Mark Rutland). * Changed "single_irq" to "muxed_spi" to more explicitly describe the problem.
v2: * Fixed build problems on systems without SMP.
v1: * Thanks to Lucas Stach, Russell King and Thomas Gleixner for critiquing an older, completely different way to tackle the same problem.

The u8500 platform has an alternative workaround that dynamically alters the affinity of the PMU interrupt. This workaround logic is no longer required so the original code is removed as is the hook it relied upon.
Tested on imx6q (which has fours cores/PMUs all muxed to a single SPI) using a simple soak, combined perf and CPU hotplug soak and using perf fuzzer's fast_repro.sh.

I'm not sure I follow. For this case to occur, we have to have raised some work on a CPU that we don't think we've raised it on (so that we perform a decrement both on said CPU and via 'count' in cpu_pmu_handle_irq_none).
So in cpu_pmu_handle_irq_none we'd have to see the CPU as online, and irq_work_queue_on would have to succeed yet return false. I can only see that it can do the oppposite (more on the below).
What am I missing?

I don't think 'count' is a great name here, as it's really vague (and due to that, confusing).
You seem to be using it to count the CPUs we don't queue work on. perhaps 'remaining' or something to that effect would be better.

There's a fundamental race here, given CPU hotplug isn't inhibited. CPUs can come up or go down (even repeatedly so), while we read stale values from the cpu_online_mask.

The return value of irq_work_queue_on also cannot be relied upon if hotplug is not inhibited. A CPU can go offline concurrently with irq_work_queue_on, perhaps just before it calls arch_send_call_function_single_ipi then unconditionally returns true.
So in that case, cpu_pmu->remaining_irq_work will be stuck above zero, because we're waiting for an offline CPU to decrement it. You're dead even with the hack in cpu_pmu_do_percpu_work.
Thanks, Mark.

Some ARM platforms mux the PMU interrupt of every core into a single SPI. On such platforms if the PMU of any core except 0 raises an interrupt then it cannot be serviced and eventually, if you are lucky, the spurious irq detection might forcefully disable the interrupt.
On these SoCs it is not possible to determine which core raised the interrupt so workaround this issue by queuing irqwork on the other cores whenever the primary interrupt handler is unable to service the interrupt.
The u8500 platform has an alternative workaround that dynamically alters the affinity of the PMU interrupt. This workaround logic is no longer required so the original code is removed as is the hook it relied upon.
Tested on imx6q (which has fours cores/PMUs all muxed to a single SPI) using a simple soak, combined perf and CPU hotplug soak and using perf fuzzer's fast_repro.sh.

Notes: v2 was tested on u8500 (thanks to Linus Walleij). The latest patch doesn't change the nature of the workaround itself but there has been substantial churn in the logic to decide when it can safely be deployed. Thus the changes were sufficient for me not to preserve the Tested-By:.
v6: * Redesigned the code that decides if it is safe to deploy the workaround (acting on the review by Mark Rutland). Code should no longer race during hot unplug; previous patches sought to make the hot unplug race benign and the old approach had flaws and even if it could be made correct was tortuously hard to review.
v5: * Removed the work queue nonsense; being completely race-free requires us to take a mutex or avoid dispatch from interrupt (Will Deacon). Replacement code can potentially race with a CPU hot unplug however it is careful to minimise exposure, to mitigate harmful effects and has fairly prominent comments.
v4: * Ripped out the logic that tried to preserve the operation of the spurious interrupt detector. It was complex and not really needed (Will Deacon). * Removed a redundant memory barrier and added a comment explaining why it is not needed (Will Deacon). * Made fully safe w.r.t. hotplug by falling back to a work queue if there is a hotplug operation in flight when the PMU interrupt comes in (Will Deacon). The work queue code paths have been tested synthetically (by changing the if condition). * Posted the correct, as in compilable and tested, version of the code (Will Deacon).
v3: * Removed function pointer indirection when deploying workaround code and reorganise the code accordingly (Mark Rutland). * Move the workaround state tracking into the existing percpu data structure (Mark Rutland). * Renamed cret to percpu_ret and rewrote the comment describing the purpose of this variable (Mark Rutland). * Copy the cpu_online_mask and use that to act on a consistent set of cpus throughout the workaround (Mark Rutland). * Changed "single_irq" to "muxed_spi" to more explicitly describe the problem.
v2: * Fixed build problems on systems without SMP.
v1: * Thanks to Lucas Stach, Russell King and Thomas Gleixner for critiquing an older, completely different way to tackle the same problem.

Some ARM platforms mux the PMU interrupt of every core into a single SPI. On such platforms if the PMU of any core except 0 raises an interrupt then it cannot be serviced and eventually, if you are lucky, the spurious irq detection might forcefully disable the interrupt.
On these SoCs it is not possible to determine which core raised the interrupt so workaround this issue by queuing irqwork on the other cores whenever the primary interrupt handler is unable to service the interrupt.
The u8500 platform has an alternative workaround that dynamically alters the affinity of the PMU interrupt. This workaround logic is no longer required so the original code is removed as is the hook it relied upon.
Tested on imx6q (which has fours cores/PMUs all muxed to a single SPI) using a simple soak, combined perf and CPU hotplug soak and using perf fuzzer's fast_repro.sh.

It certainly doesn't look easy but I will take a closer look...
From the perf side its reasonably easy. I don't think we can return IRQ_NONE (we might own the h.p. lock on the CPU handling the interrupt) so we have to disable the interrupt. However we could probably arrange to re-enable it from the hotplug notifications when this is needed.
Unfortunately I'm not sure the cpu_hotplug side is so easy.
Hi Daniel,
I'd very much like to see us converge on a solution for this soon. The existing hack is getting in the way of other rework of the arm/arm64 perf code.
I think the approach this patch takes should work, but there are some parts that can be cleaned up (hopefully mostly cosmetic). Unfortunately I don't seem to have a relevant platform for testing on.

Won't this leave samples skewed towards the CPU the interrupt is affine to? If you're counting something like cycles with a short enough period (and therefore effectively always have something to handle on the local CPU), we might never ping the other CPUs.
I think we always need to ping the other CPUs, regardless of whether there was something to handle on this CPU.
Thanks, Mark.

What other uses do you anticipate for such a list? I don't really understand why we would create a list when we only ever consume the first entry.
If there is a use for such information then why keep it as a list. Wouldn't the code be simpler if we add it as a field in the percpu data structure?
For PPIs all values would be the same, for SPIs all different, for broken SoCs all after [0] would be 0.

Could do. Personally I prefer to be clear that this is deploying a workaround (i.e. implying it does something odd on a small number of SoCs) rather than this code being part of the normal case.

I think this works, given the notifier logic and hotplug_cfd flushing any pending irq_work items.
Certainly its a lot better than the benign race thing I was trying to do before!

This is somewhat opaque.
I'd rather just have a flag to determine when we need to do any special handling for the muxed case (or better, swizzle the irq handler to a wrapper that pings the other CPUs and calls the usual handler).
Using a different handler for the workaround makes sense.
IIRC I avoided that previously because the way the code is currently split between perf_event.c and perf_event_cpu.c didn't make that very natural.
I'll look at this again.

Won't this leave samples skewed towards the CPU the interrupt is affine to? If you're counting something like cycles with a short enough period (and therefore effectively always have something to handle on the local CPU), we might never ping the other CPUs.
Do we really care about fidelity of results when servicing a perf interrupt causes another perf interrupt to happen ;-) ? At this point perf has already stopped profiling anything useful.
I think we always need to ping the other CPUs, regardless of whether there was something to handle on this CPU.
Ok.
If we make this unconditional then we can, as you suggest above somewhere, redistribute the interrupt before trying to handle it. The faster we can interrupt the other CPUs the higher the fidelity of the profile (less time for PC to change between perf event triggering and CPU reacting).
Daniel.

There's nothing workaround specific about this IRQ; it's just the only IRQ.
I think we should just pre-parse all the IRQs into a list at probe time, regardless of SMP or the workaround. Then we can just grab the first (and only) interrupt from the list in the workaround paths, and otherwise just iterate over the list.
What other uses do you anticipate for such a list? I don't really understand why we would create a list when we only ever consume the first entry.
It would go parallel to the affinity property Will recently added, and would allow us to separate the DT parsing from the request/free paths, making those far easier to understand (and likely a little faster too).
If there is a use for such information then why keep it as a list. Wouldn't the code be simpler if we add it as a field in the percpu data structure?
For PPIs all values would be the same, for SPIs all different, for broken SoCs all after [0] would be 0.
That's a nice idea. That would make the affinity info implicit, and could be far neater.
atomic_t remaining_irq_work;
Perhaps remaining_work_irqs? That would make it clear that this is a counter rather than a boolean or enumeration. We could s/work/fake/ or something to that effect.
I guess the thing we are actually counting is CPUs so remaining_cpus_with_irq_work would therefore be extremely descriptive.
It would be nice if we could come up with something that was a little more concise. Perhaps cpus_with_work would be good enough?

I'll look at this again.
The split between the two is an unfortunate legacy from when it looked like system PMUs could reuse the code. We recently decoupled the CCI PMU from arm_pmu so that we could fuse the two layers and get rid of a load of indirection.
I have some patches doing that. I'll try to rework them next week given it sounds like they could be a useful base for this.
