Yicong YangandWill Deacon 7ab06ea41a arch_topology: Provide a stub topology_core_has_smt() for !CONFIG_GENERIC_ARCH_TOPOLOGY
The arm_pmu driver is using topology_core_has_smt() for retrieving
the SMT implementation which depends on CONFIG_GENERIC_ARCH_TOPOLOGY.
The config is optional on arm platforms so provide a
!CONFIG_GENERIC_ARCH_TOPOLOGY stub for topology_core_has_smt().

Yicong YangandWill Deacon c3d78c34ad perf: arm_pmuv3: Don't use PMCCNTR_EL0 on SMT cores
CPU_CYCLES is expected to count the logical CPU (PE) clock. Currently it's
preferred to use PMCCNTR_EL0 for counting CPU_CYCLES, but it'll count
processor clock rather than the PE clock (ARM DDI0487 L.b D13.1.3) if
one of the SMT siblings is not idle on a multi-threaded implementation.
So don't use it on SMT cores.

Introduce topology_core_has_smt() for knowing the SMT implementation and
cached it in arm_pmu::has_smt during allocation.

When counting cycles on SMT CPU 2-3 and CPU 3 is idle, without this
patch we'll get:
[root@client1 tmp]# perf stat -e cycles -A -C 2-3 -- stress-ng -c 1
--taskset 2 --timeout 1

Ricardo NeriandRafael J. Wysocki 6bceea7a1e arch_topology: Relocate cpu_scale to topology.[h|c]
arch_topology.c provides functionality to parse and scale CPU capacity.
It also provides a corresponding sysfs interface. Some architectures
parse and scale CPU capacity differently as per their own needs. On
Intel processors, for instance, it is responsibility of the Intel
P-state driver.

Relocate the implementation of that interface to a common location in
topology.c. Architectures can use the interface and populate it using
their own mechanisms.

An alternative approach would be to compile arch_topology.c even if
not needed only to get this interface. This approach would create
duplicated and conflicting functionality and data structures.

Mario LimoncielloandRafael J. Wysocki b79276dcac ACPI: processor: Move arch_init_invariance_cppc() call later
arch_init_invariance_cppc() is called at the end of
acpi_cppc_processor_probe() in order to configure frequency invariance
based upon the values from _CPC.

This however doesn't work on AMD CPPC shared memory designs that have
AMD preferred cores enabled because _CPC needs to be analyzed from all
cores to judge if preferred cores are enabled.

This issue manifests to users as a warning since commit 21fb59ab4b
("ACPI: CPPC: Adjust debug messages in amd_set_max_freq_ratio() to warn"):
```
Could not retrieve highest performance (-19)
```

However the warning isn't the cause of this, it was actually
commit 279f838a61 ("x86/amd: Detect preferred cores in
amd_get_boost_ratio_numerator()") which exposed the issue.

To fix this problem, change arch_init_invariance_cppc() into a new weak
symbol that is called at the end of acpi_processor_driver_init().
Each architecture that supports it can declare the symbol to override
the weak one.

Define it for x86, in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/cppc.c, and for all of the
architectures using the generic arch_topology.c code.

David DaiandViresh Kumar 4fd06a5358 cpufreq: add virtual-cpufreq driver
Introduce a virtualized cpufreq driver for guest kernels to improve
performance and power of workloads within VMs.

This driver does two main things:

1. Sends the frequency of vCPUs as a hint to the host. The host uses the
hint to schedule the vCPU threads and decide physical CPU frequency.

2. If a VM does not support a virtualized FIE(like AMUs), it queries the
host CPU frequency by reading a MMIO region of a virtual cpufreq device
to update the guest's frequency scaling factor periodically. This enables
accurate Per-Entity Load Tracking for tasks running in the guest.

Now that cpufreq provides a pressure value to the scheduler, rename
arch_update_thermal_pressure into HW pressure to reflect that it returns
a pressure applied by HW (i.e. with a high frequency change) and not
always related to thermal mitigation but also generated by max current
limitation as an example. Such high frequency signal needs filtering to be
smoothed and provide an value that reflects the average available capacity

Use the new capacity_ref_freq() method to set the ratio that is used by AMU for
computing the arch_scale_freq_capacity().
This helps to keep everything aligned using the same reference for
computing CPUs capacity.

The default value of the ratio (stored in per_cpu(arch_max_freq_scale))
ensures that arch_scale_freq_capacity() returns max capacity until it is
set to its correct value with the cpu capacity and capacity_ref_freq().

Vincent GuittotandIngo Molnar 9942cb22ea sched/topology: Add a new arch_scale_freq_ref() method
Create a new method to get a unique and fixed max frequency. Currently
cpuinfo.max_freq or the highest (or last) state of performance domain are
used as the max frequency when computing the frequency for a level of
utilization, but:

  - cpuinfo_max_freq can change at runtime. boost is one example of
    such change.

  - cpuinfo.max_freq and last item of the PD can be different leading to
    different results between cpufreq and energy model.

We need to save the reference frequency that has been used when computing
the CPUs capacity and use this fixed and coherent value to convert between
frequency and CPU's capacity.

In fact, we already save the frequency that has been used when computing
the capacity of each CPU. We extend the precision to save kHz instead of
MHz currently and we modify the type to be aligned with other variables
used when converting frequency to capacity and the other way.

Ionela VoinescuandRafael J. Wysocki 9924fbb51e arch_topology: obtain cpu capacity using information from CPPC
Define topology_init_cpu_capacity_cppc() to use highest performance
values from _CPC objects to obtain and set maximum capacity information
for each CPU. acpi_cppc_processor_probe() is a good point at which to
trigger the initialization of CPU (u-arch) capacity values, as at this
point the highest performance values can be obtained from each CPU's
_CPC objects. Architectures can therefore use this functionality
through arch_init_invariance_cppc().

The performance scale used by CPPC is a unified scale for all CPUs in
the system. Therefore, by obtaining the raw highest performance values
from the _CPC objects, and normalizing them on the [0, 1024] capacity
scale, used by the task scheduler, we obtain the CPU capacity of each
CPU.

While an ACPI Notify(0x85) could alert about a change in the highest
performance value, which should in turn retrigger the CPU capacity
computations, this notification is not currently handled by the ACPI
processor driver. When supported, a call to arch_init_invariance_cppc()
would perform the update.

Jonathan CameronandPeter Zijlstra c5e22feffd topology: Represent clusters of CPUs within a die
Both ACPI and DT provide the ability to describe additional layers of
topology between that of individual cores and higher level constructs
such as the level at which the last level cache is shared.
In ACPI this can be represented in PPTT as a Processor Hierarchy
Node Structure [1] that is the parent of the CPU cores and in turn
has a parent Processor Hierarchy Nodes Structure representing
a higher level of topology.

For example Kunpeng 920 has 6 or 8 clusters in each NUMA node, and each
cluster has 4 cpus. All clusters share L3 cache data, but each cluster
has local L3 tag. On the other hand, each clusters will share some
internal system bus.

That means spreading tasks among clusters will bring more bandwidth
while packing tasks within one cluster will lead to smaller cache
synchronization latency. So both kernel and userspace will have
a chance to leverage this topology to deploy tasks accordingly to
achieve either smaller cache latency within one cluster or an even
distribution of load among clusters for higher throughput.

This patch exposes cluster topology to both kernel and userspace.
Libraried like hwloc will know cluster by cluster_cpus and related
sysfs attributes. PoC of HWLOC support at [2].

Note this patch only handle the ACPI case.

Special consideration is needed for SMT processors, where it is
necessary to move 2 levels up the hierarchy from the leaf nodes
(thus skipping the processor core level).

Note that arm64 / ACPI does not provide any means of identifying
a die level in the topology but that may be unrelate to the cluster
level.

Viresh Kumar 4c38f2df71 cpufreq: CPPC: Add support for frequency invariance
The Frequency Invariance Engine (FIE) is providing a frequency scaling
correction factor that helps achieve more accurate load-tracking.

Normally, this scaling factor can be obtained directly with the help of
the cpufreq drivers as they know the exact frequency the hardware is
running at. But that isn't the case for CPPC cpufreq driver.

Another way of obtaining that is using the arch specific counter
support, which is already present in kernel, but that hardware is
optional for platforms.

This patch updates the CPPC driver to register itself with the topology
core to provide its own implementation (cppc_scale_freq_tick()) of
topology_scale_freq_tick() which gets called by the scheduler on every
tick. Note that the arch specific counters have higher priority than
CPPC counters, if available, though the CPPC driver doesn't need to have
any special handling for that.

On an invocation of cppc_scale_freq_tick(), we schedule an irq work
(since we reach here from hard-irq context), which then schedules a
normal work item and cppc_scale_freq_workfn() updates the per_cpu
arch_freq_scale variable based on the counter updates since the last
tick.

To allow platforms to disable this CPPC counter-based frequency
invariance support, this is all done under CONFIG_ACPI_CPPC_CPUFREQ_FIE,
which is enabled by default.

This also exports sched_setattr_nocheck() as the CPPC driver can be
built as a module.

Viresh Kumar 01e055c120 arch_topology: Allow multiple entities to provide sched_freq_tick() callback
This patch attempts to make it generic enough so other parts of the
kernel can also provide their own implementation of scale_freq_tick()
callback, which is called by the scheduler periodically to update the
per-cpu arch_freq_scale variable.

The implementations now need to provide 'struct scale_freq_data' for the
CPUs for which they have hardware counters available, and a callback
gets registered for each possible CPU in a per-cpu variable.

The arch specific (or ARM AMU) counters are updated to adapt to this and
they take the highest priority if they are available, i.e. they will be
used instead of CPPC based counters for example.

The special code to rebuild the sched domains, in case invariance status
change for the system, is moved out of arm64 specific code and is added
to arch_topology.c.

Note that this also defines SCALE_FREQ_SOURCE_CPUFREQ but doesn't use it
and it is added to show that cpufreq is also acts as source of
information for FIE and will be used by default if no other counters are
supported for a platform.

Ionela VoinescuandRafael J. Wysocki a20b7053b5 cpufreq,arm,arm64: restructure definitions of arch_set_freq_scale()
Compared to other arch_* functions, arch_set_freq_scale() has an atypical
weak definition that can be replaced by a strong architecture specific
implementation.

The more typical support for architectural functions involves defining
an empty stub in a header file if the symbol is not already defined in
architecture code. Some examples involve:
 - #define arch_scale_freq_capacity	topology_get_freq_scale
 - #define arch_scale_freq_invariant	topology_scale_freq_invariant
 - #define arch_scale_cpu_capacity	topology_get_cpu_scale
 - #define arch_update_cpu_topology	topology_update_cpu_topology
 - #define arch_scale_thermal_pressure	topology_get_thermal_pressure
 - #define arch_set_thermal_pressure	topology_set_thermal_pressure

Bring arch_set_freq_scale() in line with these functions by renaming it to
topology_set_freq_scale() in the arch topology driver, and by defining the
arch_set_freq_scale symbol to point to the new function for arm and arm64.

While there are other users of the arch_topology driver, this patch defines
arch_set_freq_scale for arm and arm64 only, due to their existing
definitions of arch_scale_freq_capacity. This is the getter function of the
frequency invariance scale factor and without a getter function, the
setter function - arch_set_freq_scale() has not purpose.

Valentin SchneiderandRafael J. Wysocki 15e5d5b45b arch_topology, arm, arm64: define arch_scale_freq_invariant()
arch_scale_freq_invariant() is used by schedutil to determine whether
the scheduler's load-tracking signals are frequency invariant. Its
definition is overridable, though by default it is hardcoded to 'true'
if arch_scale_freq_capacity() is defined ('false' otherwise).

This behaviour is not overridden on arm, arm64 and other users of the
generic arch topology driver, which is somewhat precarious:
arch_scale_freq_capacity() will always be defined, yet not all cpufreq
drivers are guaranteed to drive the frequency invariance scale factor
setting. In other words, the load-tracking signals may very well *not*
be frequency invariant.

Now that cpufreq can be queried on whether the current driver is driving
the Frequency Invariance (FI) scale setting, the current situation can
be improved. This combines the query of whether cpufreq supports the
setting of the frequency scale factor, with whether all online CPUs are
counter-based FI enabled.

While cpufreq FI enablement applies at system level, for all CPUs,
counter-based FI support could also be used for only a subset of CPUs to
set the invariance scale factor. Therefore, if cpufreq-based FI support
is present, we consider the system to be invariant. If missing, we
require all online CPUs to be counter-based FI enabled in order for the
full system to be considered invariant.

If the system ends up not being invariant, a new condition is needed in
the counter initialization code that disables all scale factor setting
based on counters.

Precedence of counters over cpufreq use is not important here. The
invariant status is only given to the system if all CPUs have at least
one method of setting the frequency scale factor.

Valentin SchneiderandPeter Zijlstra 25980c7a79 arch_topology, sched/core: Cleanup thermal pressure definition
The following commit:

  14533a16c4 ("thermal/cpu-cooling, sched/core: Move the arch_set_thermal_pressure() API to generic scheduler code")

moved the definition of arch_set_thermal_pressure() to sched/core.c, but
kept its declaration in linux/arch_topology.h. When building e.g. an x86
kernel with CONFIG_SCHED_THERMAL_PRESSURE=y, cpufreq_cooling.c ends up
getting the declaration of arch_set_thermal_pressure() from
include/linux/arch_topology.h, which is somewhat awkward.

On top of this, sched/core.c unconditionally defines
o The thermal_pressure percpu variable
o arch_set_thermal_pressure()

while arch_scale_thermal_pressure() does nothing unless redefined by the
architecture.

arch_*() functions are meant to be defined by architectures, so revert the
aforementioned commit and re-implement it in a way that keeps
arch_set_thermal_pressure() architecture-definable, and doesn't define the
thermal pressure percpu variable for kernels that don't need
it (CONFIG_SCHED_THERMAL_PRESSURE=n).

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle are:

   - Various NUMA scheduling updates: harmonize the load-balancer and
     NUMA placement logic to not work against each other. The intended
     result is better locality, better utilization and fewer migrations.

   - Introduce Thermal Pressure tracking and optimizations, to improve
     task placement on thermally overloaded systems.

   - Implement frequency invariant scheduler accounting on (some) x86
     CPUs. This is done by observing and sampling the 'recent' CPU
     frequency average at ~tick boundaries. The CPU provides this data
     via the APERF/MPERF MSRs. This hopefully makes our capacity
     estimates more precise and keeps tasks on the same CPU better even
     if it might seem overloaded at a lower momentary frequency. (As
     usual, turbo mode is a complication that we resolve by observing
     the maximum frequency and renormalizing to it.)

   - Add asymmetric CPU capacity wakeup scan to improve capacity
     utilization on asymmetric topologies. (big.LITTLE systems)

   - PSI fixes and optimizations.

   - RT scheduling capacity awareness fixes & improvements.

   - Optimize the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED constraints code.
