Hi all,
Here's v3 series to improve resctrl selftests with generalized test framework and rewritten CAT test. As agreed, v3 does not include the group naming patch which will become part of Maciej's non-contiguous serie. The error handling cleanups (return errno, perror() & return value comment cleanups) and CPU affinity restore for CAT test add to the patch count.
The series contains following improvements:
- Excludes shareable bits from CAT test allocation to avoid interference - Replaces file "sink" with a volatile variable - Alters read pattern to defeat HW prefetcher optimizations - Rewrites CAT test to make the CAT test reliable and truly measure if CAT is working or not - Introduces generalized test framework making easier to add new tests - Lots of other cleanups & refactoring
This serie have been tested across a large number of systems from different generations.
v3: - New patches to handle return errno, perror() and return value comments - Tweak changelogs - Moved error printout removal to other patch - Zero bit CBM returns error - Tweak comments - Make get_shareable_mask() static - Return directly without storing result into ret variable first - llc -> LLC - Altered changelog and removed "the whole time" wording because llc occu results are still unsigned long - Altered changelog's wording to not say "a volatile pointer" - Make min_diff_percent and MIN_DIFF_PERCENT_PER_BIT unsigned long - Add patch to restore CPU affinity after CAT test - Move uparams clear into init function - Add CPU vendor ID bitmask comment - Use test_resource_feature_check(test) in CMT - "feature" -> "resource" in function comment
v2: - Postpone adding L2 CAT test as more investigations are necessary - Add patch to remove ctrlc_handler() from wrong place - Improvements to changelogs - Function comments improvements & comment cleanups - Move some parts of the changes into more logical patch - If checks: buf == NULL -> !buf - Variable naming: - p -> buf - cbm_mask_path -> cbm_path - Function naming: - get_cbm_mask() -> get_full_cbm() - cache_size() -> cache_portion_size() - Use PATH_MAX - Improved cache_portion_size() parameter names - int count -> unsigned int - Pass filename to measurement taking functions instead of resctrl_val_param - !lines ? : reversal - Removed bogus static from function local variable - Open perf fd only once, reset & enable in the innermost test loop - Add perf fd ioctl() error handling - Add patch to change compiler optimization prevention "sink" from file to volatile variable - Remove cpu_no and resource (the latter was added in v1) members from resctrl_val_param (pass uparams and test where those are needed) - Removed ARRAY_SIZE() macro - Add patch to rename "resource_id" to "domain_id"
