[PATCH V10 0/7] amd-pstate preferred core

by Meng Li

Hi all: The core frequency is subjected to the process variation in semiconductors. Not all cores are able to reach the maximum frequency respecting the infrastructure limits. Consequently, AMD has redefined the concept of maximum frequency of a part. This means that a fraction of cores can reach maximum frequency. To find the best process scheduling policy for a given scenario, OS needs to know the core ordering informed by the platform through highest performance capability register of the CPPC interface. Earlier implementations of amd-pstate preferred core only support a static core ranking and targeted performance. Now it has the ability to dynamically change the preferred core based on the workload and platform conditions and accounting for thermals and aging. Amd-pstate driver utilizes the functions and data structures provided by the ITMT architecture to enable the scheduler to favor scheduling on cores which can be get a higher frequency with lower voltage. We call it amd-pstate preferred core. Here sched_set_itmt_core_prio() is called to set priorities and sched_set_itmt_support() is called to enable ITMT feature. Amd-pstate driver uses the highest performance value to indicate the priority of CPU. The higher value has a higher priority. Amd-pstate driver will provide an initial core ordering at boot time. It relies on the CPPC interface to communicate the core ranking to the operating system and scheduler to make sure that OS is choosing the cores with highest performance firstly for scheduling the process. When amd-pstate driver receives a message with the highest performance change, it will update the core ranking. Changes from V9->V10: - cpufreq: amd-pstate: - - add judgement for highest_perf. When it is less than 255, the preferred core feature is enabled. And it will set the priority. - - deleset "static u32 max_highest_perf" etc, because amd p-state perferred coe does not require specail process for hotpulg. Changes form V8->V9: - all: - - pick up Tested-By flag added by Oleksandr. - cpufreq: amd-pstate: - - pick up Review-By flag added by Wyes. - - ignore modification of bug. - - add a attribute of prefcore_ranking. - - modify data type conversion from u32 to int. - Documentation: amd-pstate: - - pick up Review-By flag added by Wyes.

[PATCH v3] KVM: selftests: Initialise dynamically allocated configuration names

by Mark Brown

When we dynamically generate a name for a configuration in get-reg-list we use strcat() to append to a buffer allocated using malloc() but we never initialise that buffer. Since malloc() offers no guarantees regarding the contents of the memory it returns this can lead to us corrupting, and likely overflowing, the buffer: vregs: PASS vregs+pmu: PASS sve: PASS sve+pmu: PASS vregs+pauth_address+pauth_generic: PASS X�vr+gspauth_addre+spauth_generi+pmu: PASS Initialise the buffer to an empty string to avoid this.

[PATCH v2 0/4] cgroup/cpuset: Improve CPU isolation in isolated partitions

by Waiman Long

v2: - Add 2 read-only workqueue sysfs files to expose the user requested cpumask as well as the isolated CPUs to be excluded from wq_unbound_cpumask. - Ensure that caller of the new workqueue_unbound_exclude_cpumask() hold cpus_read_lock. - Update the cpuset code to make sure the cpus_read_lock is held whenever workqueue_unbound_exclude_cpumask() may be called. Isolated cpuset partition can currently be created to contain an exclusive set of CPUs not used in other cgroups and with load balancing disabled to reduce interference from the scheduler. The main purpose of this isolated partition type is to dynamically emulate what can be done via the "isolcpus" boot command line option, specifically the default domain flag. One effect of the "isolcpus" option is to remove the isolated CPUs from the cpumasks of unbound workqueues since running work functions in an isolated CPU can be a major source of interference. Changing the unbound workqueue cpumasks can be done at run time by writing an appropriate cpumask without the isolated CPUs to /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask. So one can set up an isolated cpuset partition and then write to the cpumask sysfs file to achieve similar level of CPU isolation. However, this manual process can be error prone. This patch series implements automatic exclusion of isolated CPUs from unbound workqueue cpumasks when an isolated cpuset partition is created and then adds those CPUs back when the isolated partition is destroyed. There are also other places in the kernel that look at the HK_FLAG_DOMAIN cpumask or other HK_FLAG_* cpumasks and exclude the isolated CPUs from certain actions to further reduce interference. CPUs in an isolated cpuset partition will not be able to avoid those interferences yet. That may change in the future as the need arises.

[RFC PATCH 0/8] DAMOS: Introduce Aim-oriented Feedback-driven Aggressiveness Auto Tuning

by SeongJae Park

Another candidate of the subject was "Let users feed and tame DAMOS". DAMOS Control Difficulty ======================== DAMOS helps users easily implementing effective access pattern aware system operations. However, controlling DAMOS in wild is not that easy. The basic way to control DAMON is specifying the target access pattern. Hence, the user is assumed to know the access pattern of the system and the workloads well. Though some good tools including DAMON can help that, it requires time and resource, and the cost depends on the complexity and the dynamicity of the system and workloads. After all, the access pattern consist of three ranges, namely ranges of access rate, age, and size of the regions. Tuning six parameters is already complex. It is not doable for everyone. To ease the control, DAMOS allows users to set the upper-limit of the schemes's aggressiveness, namely DAMOS quota. Then DAMOS prioritizes regions to apply the action under the limit based on the action and the access pattern of the regions. For example, use can ask DAMOS to page out up to 100 MiB of memory regions per second. Then DAMOS pages out regions that not accessed for longer time first under the limit. This allows users to set access pattern bit more naively, and focus on only the one parameter, the quota. That is, the number of parameters to tune with special care can be reduced from six to one. Still, however, the optimal value for the quota depends on the system and the workloads' characteristics, so not that simple. The number of parameters to tune can also increase again if the user needs to run multiple schemes, e.g., collapsing hot pages into THP while splitting cold pages into regular pages. In short, the existing approach asks users to find the perfect or adapted tuning and instruct DAMOS how to work. It requires users to be deligent. That's not a virtue of human, but the machine. Aim-oriented Feedback-driven DAMOS Quota Auto Tuning ==================================================== Most users would start using DAMOS since there is something they want to achieve with DAMOS. Having such goal metrics like SLO is common. Hence, a better approach would be letting users inform DAMOS what they aim to achieve, and how well DAMOS is doing that. Then DAMOS can somehow make it. In detail, users provide feedback for each DAMOS scheme. DAMOS then tune the quota of each scheme based on the users' feedback and the current quota values. This patchset implements the idea. Implementation -------------- The core logic implementation is in the first patch. In short, it uses below simple feedback loop algorithm to get next aggressiveness from the current aggressiveness and the feedback (target_core and current_score) for the current aggressiveness. f(n, target_score, current_score) = max(f(n - 1) * ((target_score - current_score) / target_score + 1), 1) Note that this algorithm assumes the aggressiveness and the score are positively proportional. Making it true is the feedback provider's responsibility. Test Results ------------ To show if this provides the expected benefit, we extend the performance tests of damon-tests suite to support virtual address space-based proactive reclamation scheme that aims 0.5% last 10 seconds some memory PSI. The test suite runs PARSEC3 and SPLASH-2X workloads with the scheme and measure the runtime, the RSS, and the PSI for memory (some). We do same with the same scheme but not having the goal, and yet another variant of it that the target access patterns of the scheme is tuned for each workload, in a offline-tuning approach named DAMOOS[1]. The results that normalized to the output that made without any scheme are as below. The PSI for original run (without any scheme) was zero. To avoid divide-by-zero, we normalize the value to that of Not-tuned scheme's result. xx Not-tuned Offline-tuned Online-tuned RSS 0.622688178226118 0.787950678944904 0.740093483278979 runtime 1.11767826657912 1.0564674983585 1.0910833880499 PSI 1 0.727521443794069 0.308498846350299 The not-tuned scheme acheives about 38.7% memory saving but incur about 11.7% runtime slowdown. The offline-tuned scheme achieves about 22.2% memory saving with about 5.5% runtiem slowdown. It also achieves about 28.2% PSI saving. The online-tuned scheme achieves about 26% memory saving with about 9.1% runtime slowdown. It also achieves about 69.1% PSI saving. Given the online-tuned version is using this RFC level implementation and the goal (0.5% last-10 secs memory PSI) was made after only a few experiments within a day, I think this results show some potential of this feedback-driven auto tuning approach. The test code is available[2], so you can reproduce on your system.

The first patch implements the core logic for the auto tuning, and the API for DAMOS users in the kernel space. The second patch implements basic file operations of DAMON sysfs directories and files that will be used for setting the goals and providing the feedback. The third patch connects the quota goals files inputs to the DAMOS core logic. Finally the fourth patch implements a dedicated DAMOS sysfs command for efficiently committing the quota goals feedback. Two patches for simple test of the logic and interfaces follow. The fifth patch implements the core logic unit test. The sixth patch implements a selftest for the DAMON Sysfs interface for the goals. Finally, two patches for documentation follows. The seventh patch documents the design of the feature. The final eighth patch updates the usage document for the features.
