v6 cover x86/resctrl : Support AMD Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring Counters (ABMC)

This series adds the support for Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring Counters (ABMC). It is also called QoS RMID Pinning feature

The feature details are documented in the APM listed below [1].
[1] AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2: System Programming Publication # 24593 Revision 3.41 section 19.3.3.3 Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring (ABMC). The documentation is available at

The patches are based on top of commit
325700e2e9e8 (tip/master) Merge branch into tip/master: 'x86/timers'.

# Introduction

Users can create as many monitor groups as RMIDs supported by the hardware. However, bandwidth monitoring feature on AMD system only guarantees that RMIDs currently assigned to a processor will be tracked by hardware. The counters of any other RMIDs which are no longer being tracked will be reset to zero. The MBM event counters return "Unavailable" for the RMIDs that are not tracked by hardware. So, there can be only limited number of groups that can give guaranteed monitoring numbers. With ever changing configurations there is no way to definitely know which of these groups are being tracked for certain point of time. Users do not have the option to monitor a group or set of groups for certain period of time without worrying about RMID being reset in between.

The ABMC feature provides an option to the user to assign a hardware counter to an RMID and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is assigned. The assigned RMID will be tracked by the hardware until the user unassigns it manually. There is no need to worry about counters being reset during this period. Additionally, the user can specify a bitmask identifying the specific bandwidth types from the given source to track with the counter.

Without ABMC enabled, monitoring will work in current mode without assignment option.

# Linux Implementation

Create a generic interface aimed to support user space assignment of scarce counters used for monitoring. First usage of interface is by ABMC with option to expand usage to "soft-ABMC" and MPAM counters in future.

Feature adds following interface files:

/sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode: Reports the list of assignable monitoring features supported. The enclosed brackets indicate which feature is enabled.

/sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/num_mbm_cntrs: Reports the number of monitoring counters available for assignment.

/sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control: Reports the resctrl group and monitor status of each group. Assignment state can be updated by writing to the interface.

# Examples

a. Check if ABMC support is available
#mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl/

#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode
[mbm_cntr_assign]
legacy

ABMC feature is detected and it is enabled.

b. Check how many ABMC counters are available.

	#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/num_mbm_cntrs 
	32

c. Create few resctrl groups.

	# mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_groups/child_default_mon_grp
	# mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/non_default_ctrl_mon_grp
	# mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/non_default_ctrl_mon_grp/mon_groups/child_non_default_mon_grp

d. This series adds a new interface file /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control
to list and modify the group's monitoring states. File provides single place to list monitoring states of all the resctrl groups. It makes it easier for user space to learn about the counters are used without needing to traverse all the groups thus reducing the number of file system calls.

The list follows the following format:

"<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

Format for specific type of groups:

* Default CTRL_MON group:
"//<domain_id>=<flags>"

* Non-default CTRL_MON group:
"<CTRL_MON group>//<domain_id>=<flags>"

* Child MON group of default CTRL_MON group:
"/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

* Child MON group of non-default CTRL_MON group:
"<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

Flags can be one of the following:

t MBM total event is enabled.
l MBM local event is enabled.
tl Both total and local MBM events are enabled. _ None of the MBM events are enabled

Examples:

# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control non_default_ctrl_mon_grp//0=tl;1=tl; non_default_ctrl_mon_grp/child_non_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=tl; //0=tl;1=tl;
/child_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=tl;

There are four groups and all the groups have local and total event enabled on domain 0 and 1.

e. Update the group assignment states using the interface file /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control.

The write format is similar to the above list format with addition

	of opcode for the assignment operation.
    	“<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>”

	
	* Default CTRL_MON group:
	        "//<domain_id><opcode><flags>"
	
	* Non-default CTRL_MON group:
	        "<CTRL_MON group>//<domain_id><opcode><flags>"
	
	* Child MON group of default CTRL_MON group:
	        "/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>"
	
	* Child MON group of non-default CTRL_MON group:
	        "<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>"
	
	Opcode can be one of the following:
	
	= Update the assignment to match the flag.
	+ Assign a new event.
	- Unassign a new event.

	Flags can be one of the following:

        t  MBM total event.
        l  MBM local event.
        tl Both total and local MBM events.
        _  None of the MBM events. Only works with '=' opcode.
	
	Initial group status:
	# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control
	non_default_ctrl_mon_grp//0=tl;1=tl;
	non_default_ctrl_mon_grp/child_non_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=tl;
	//0=tl;1=tl;
	/child_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=tl;

	To update the default group to enable only total event on domain 0:
	# echo "//0=t" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control

	Assignment status after the update:
	# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control
	non_default_ctrl_mon_grp//0=tl;1=tl;
	non_default_ctrl_mon_grp/child_non_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=tl;
	//0=t;1=tl;
	/child_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=tl;

	To update the MON group child_default_mon_grp to remove total event on domain 1:
	# echo "/child_default_mon_grp/1-t" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control

	Assignment status after the update:
	$ cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control
	non_default_ctrl_mon_grp//0=tl;1=tl;
	non_default_ctrl_mon_grp/child_non_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=tl;
	//0=t;1=tl;
	/child_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=l;

	To update the MON group non_default_ctrl_mon_grp/child_non_default_mon_grp to
	remove both local and total events on domain 1:
	# echo "non_default_ctrl_mon_grp/child_non_default_mon_grp/1=_" >
	       /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control

	Assignment status after the update:
	non_default_ctrl_mon_grp//0=tl;1=tl;
	non_default_ctrl_mon_grp/child_non_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=_;
	//0=t;1=tl;
	/child_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=l;

	To update the default group to add a local event domain 0.
	# echo "//0+l" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control

	Assignment status after the update:
	# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control
	non_default_ctrl_mon_grp//0=tl;1=tl;
	non_default_ctrl_mon_grp/child_non_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=_;
	//0=tl;1=tl;
	/child_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=l;

	To update the non default CTRL_MON group non_default_ctrl_mon_grp to unassign all
	the MBM events on all the domains.
	# echo "non_default_ctrl_mon_grp//*=_" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control

	Assignment status after the update:
	# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control
	non_default_ctrl_mon_grp//0=_;1=_;
	non_default_ctrl_mon_grp/child_non_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=_;
	//0=tl;1=tl;
	/child_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=l;

f. Read the event mbm_total_bytes and mbm_local_bytes of the default group.
There is no change in reading the events with ABMC. If the event is unassigned when reading, then the read will come back as "Unassigned".

	# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_total_bytes
	779247936
	# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_local_bytes 
	765207488

g. Check the bandwidth configuration for the group. Note that bandwidth
configuration has a domain scope. Total event defaults to 0x7F (to count all the events) and local event defaults to 0x15 (to count all the local numa events). The event bitmap decoding is available at
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/resctrl.rst
in section "mbm_total_bytes_config", "mbm_local_bytes_config":

	#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_total_bytes_config 
	0=0x7f;1=0x7f
	
	#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_local_bytes_config 
	0=0x15;1=0x15

h. Change the bandwidth source for domain 0 for the total event to count only reads.
Note that this change effects total events on the domain 0.

	#echo 0=0x33 > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_total_bytes_config 
	#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_total_bytes_config 
	0=0x33;1=0x7F

i. Now read the total event again. The first read will come back with "Unavailable"
status. The subsequent read of mbm_total_bytes will display only the read events.

	#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_total_bytes
	Unavailable
	#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_total_bytes
	314101

j. Users will have the option to go back to legacy mbm_mode if required.
This can be done using the following command. Note that switching the mbm_mode will reset all the mbm counters of all resctrl groups.

	# echo "legacy" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode
	# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode
	mbm_cntr_assign
	[legacy]

k. Unmount the resctrl

#umount /sys/fs/resctrl/
---
v6:
We still need to finalize few interface details on mbm_mode and mbm_control in case of ABMC and Soft-ABMC. We can continue the discussion with this series.

Added support for domain-id '*' to update all the domains at once. Fixed assign interface to allocate the counter if counter is not assigned.
Fixed unassign interface to free the counter if the counter is not assigned in any of the domains.

Renamed abmc_capable to mbm_cntr_assignable.

Renamed abmc_enabled to mbm_cntr_assign_enabled.
Used msr_set_bit and msr_clear_bit for msr updates.
Renamed resctrl_arch_abmc_enable() to resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_enable(). Renamed resctrl_arch_abmc_disable() to resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_disable().

Changed the display name from num_cntrs to num_mbm_cntrs.

Removed the variable mbm_cntrs_free_map_len. This is not required. Removed the call mbm_cntrs_init() in arch code. This needs to be done at higher level. Used DECLARE_BITMAP to initialize mbm_cntrs_free_map.
Removed unused config value definitions.

Introduced mbm_cntr_map to track counters at domain level. With this we dont need to send MSR read to read the counter configuration.

Separated all the counter id management to upper level in FS code.

Added checks to detect "Unassigned" before reading the RMID.

More details in each patch.

v5:
Rebase changes (because of SNC support)

Interface changes.
/sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_assign to /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_mode. /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_assign_control to /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_control.

Added few arch specific routines.
resctrl_arch_get_abmc_enabled.
resctrl_arch_abmc_enable.
resctrl_arch_abmc_disable.

Few renames
num_cntrs_free_map -> mbm_cntrs_free_map num_cntrs_init -> mbm_cntrs_init arch_domain_mbm_evt_config -> resctrl_arch_mbm_evt_config

Introduced resctrl_arch_event_config_get and
resctrl_arch_event_config_set() to update event configuration.

Removed mon_state field mongroup. Added MON_CNTR_UNSET to initialize counters.

Renamed ctr_id to cntr_id for the hardware counter.

Report "Unassigned" in case the user attempts to read the events without assigning the counter.

ABMC is enabled during the boot up. Can be enabled or disabled later.

Fixed opcode and flags combination.

    '=_" is valid.
    "-_" amd "+_" is not valid.

Added all the comments as far as I know. If I missed something, it is not intentional.

v4:
Main change is domain specific event assignment.
Kept the ABMC feature as a default.
Dynamcic switching between ABMC and mbm_legacy is still allowed. We are still not clear about mount option.
Moved the monitoring related data in resctrl_mon structure from rdt_resource. Fixed the display of legacy and ABMC mode.
Used bimap APIs when possible.
Removed event configuration read from MSRs. We can use the internal saved data.(patch 12)
Added more comments about L3_QOS_ABMC_CFG MSR.
Added IPIs to read the assignment status for each domain (patch 18 and 19) More details in each patch.

v3:
This series adds the support for global assignment mode discussed in the thread. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
Removed the individual assignment mode and included the global assignment interface. Added following interface files.
a. /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign
Used for displaying the current assignment mode and switch between ABMC and legacy mode.
b. /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_control
Used for lising the groups assignment mode and modify the assignment states.
c. Most of the changes are related to the new interface.
d. Addressed the comments from Reinette, James and Peter.
e. Hope I have addressed most of the major feedbacks discussed. If I missed
something then it is not intentional. Please feel free to comment.
f. Sending this as an RFC as per Reinette's comment. So, this is still open
for discussion.

v2:
a. Major change is the way ABMC is enabled. Earlier, user needed to remount
with -o abmc to enable ABMC feature. Removed that option now.
Now users can enable ABMC by "$echo 1 to /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_enable".

b. Added new word 21 to x86/cpufeatures.h.

c. Display unsupported if user attempts to read the events when ABMC is enabled
and event is not assigned.

d. Display monitor_state as "Unsupported" when ABMC is disabled.

e. Text updates and rebase to latest tip tree (as of Jan 18).

f. This series is still work in progress. I am yet to hear from ARM developers.

PATCH v6 1/22 x86/cpufeatures: Add support for Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring Counters (ABMC)

Users can create as many monitor groups as RMIDs supported by the hardware. However, bandwidth monitoring feature on AMD system only guarantees that RMIDs currently assigned to a processor will be tracked by hardware. The counters of any other RMIDs which are no longer being tracked will be reset to zero. The MBM event counters return "Unavailable" for the RMIDs that are not tracked by hardware.

With ever changing configurations there is no way to definitely know which of these groups are being tracked for certain point of time. Users do not have the option to monitor a group or set of groups for certain period of time without worrying about RMID being reset in between.

The ABMC feature provides an option to the user to assign a hardware counter to an RMID and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is assigned. The assigned RMID will be tracked by the hardware until the user unassigns it manually. There is no need to worry about counters being reset during this period. Additionally, the user can specify a bitmask identifying the specific bandwidth types from the given source to track with the counter.

Without ABMC enabled, monitoring will work in current mode without assignment option.

Linux resctrl subsystem provides the interface to count maximum of two memory bandwidth events per group, from a combination of available total and local events. Keeping the current interface, users can enable a maximum of 2 ABMC counters per group. User will also have the option to enable only one counter to the group. If the system runs out of assignable ABMC counters, kernel will display an error. Users need to disable an already enabled counter to make space for new assignments.

The feature can be detected via CPUID_Fn80000020_EBX_x00 bit 5. Bits Description

---
Note: Checkpatch checks/warnings are ignored to maintain coding style.

v6: Added Reinette's Reviewed-by. Moved the Checkpatch note below ---.

v5: Minor rebase change and subject line update.

v4: Changes because of rebase. Feature word 21 has few more additions now.
Changed the text to "tracked by hardware" instead of active.

v3: Change because of rebase. Actual patch did not change.

v2: Added dependency on X86_FEATURE_BMEC.

The counters of any other RMIDs which are no longer being tracked will be reset to zero. The MBM event counters return "Unavailable" for the RMIDs that are not tracked by hardware. So, there can be only limited number of groups that can give guaranteed monitoring numbers. With ever changing configurations there is no way to definitely know which of these groups are being tracked for certain point of time. Users do not have the option to monitor a group or set of groups for certain period of time without worrying about RMID being reset in between.

The ABMC feature provides an option to the user to assign a hardware counter to an RMID and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is assigned. The assigned RMID will be tracked by the hardware until the user unassigns it manually. There is no need to worry about counters being reset during this period. Additionally, the user can specify a bitmask identifying the specific bandwidth types from the given source to track with the counter.

Without ABMC enabled, monitoring will work in current mode without assignment option.

Linux resctrl subsystem provides the interface to count maximum of two memory bandwidth events per group, from a combination of available total and local events. Keeping the current interface, users can enable a maximum of 2 ABMC counters per group. User will also have the option to enable only one counter to the group. If the system runs out of assignable ABMC counters, kernel will display an error. Users need to disable an already enabled counter to make space for new assignments.

The feature can be detected via CPUID_Fn80000020_EBX_x00 bit 5. Bits Description
5 ABMC (Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring Counters)

Can you please update the CPUID database with that new bit:

    https://gitlab.com/x86-cpuid.org/x86-cpuid-db

Sure. Should not be a problem. I have let our management to look at this new project for contributions.

PATCH v6 3/22 x86/resctrl: Consolidate monitoring related data from rdt_resource

In reply to Babu Moger

The cache allocation and memory bandwidth allocation feature properties are consolidated into cache and membw structures respectively.

In preparation for more monitoring properties that will clobber the existing resource struct more, re-organize the monitoring specific properties to also be in a separate structure.

---
v6: Update commit message and update kernel doc for rdt_resource.

v5: Commit message update.
Also changes related to data structure updates does to SNC support.

v4: New patch.

v6: Commit message update.
Renamed abmc_capable to mbm_cntr_assignable.

v5: Name change num_cntrs to num_mbm_cntrs.
Moved abmc_capable to resctrl_mon.

v4: Removed resctrl_arch_has_abmc(). Added all the code inline. We dont
need to separate this as arch code.

v3: Removed changes related to mon_features.
Moved rdt_cpu_has to core.c and added new function resctrl_arch_has_abmc. Also moved the fields mbm_assign_capable and mbm_assign_cntrs to rdt_resource. (James)

v2: Changed the field name to mbm_assign_capable from abmc_capable.

PATCH v6 5/22 x86/resctrl: Introduce resctrl_file_fflags_init() to initialize fflags

In reply to Babu Moger

thread_throttle_mode_init() and mbm_config_rftype_init() both initialize fflags for resctrl files.

Adding new files will involve adding another function to initialize the fflags. This can be simplified by adding a new function resctrl_file_fflags_init() and passing the file name and flags to be initialized.

Consolidate fflags initialization into resctrl_file_fflags_init() and remove thread_throttle_mode_init() and mbm_config_rftype_init().

PATCH v6 6/22 x86/resctrl: Add support to enable/disable AMD ABMC feature

In reply to Babu Moger

Add the functionality to enable/disable AMD ABMC feature.

AMD ABMC feature is enabled by setting enabled bit(0) in MSR L3_QOS_EXT_CFG. When the state of ABMC is changed, the MSR needs to be updated on all the logical processors in the QOS Domain.

Hardware counters will reset when ABMC state is changed. Reset the architectural state so that reading of hardware counter is not considered as an overflow in next update.

The ABMC feature details are documented in APM listed below [1].
[1] AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2: System Programming Publication # 24593 Revision 3.41 section 19.3.3.3 Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring (ABMC).

---
v6: Renamed abmc_enabled to mbm_cntr_assign_enabled.
Used msr_set_bit and msr_clear_bit for msr updates.
Renamed resctrl_arch_abmc_enable() to resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_enable(). Renamed resctrl_arch_abmc_disable() to resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_disable(). Made _resctrl_abmc_enable to return void.

v5: Renamed resctrl_abmc_enable to resctrl_arch_abmc_enable.
Renamed resctrl_abmc_disable to resctrl_arch_abmc_disable. Introduced resctrl_arch_get_abmc_enabled to get abmc state from non-arch code.
Renamed resctrl_abmc_set_all to _resctrl_abmc_enable(). Modified commit log to make it clear about AMD ABMC feature.

v3: No changes.

v2: Few text changes in commit message.

Once the filesystem code moves to /fs/resctrl, this can't be inlined from the architectures internal.h. Accessing rdt_resources_all[] from asm/resctrl.h isn't something that is done today... could you move this to be a non-inline function in core.c?

Is there any mileage in getting resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_enable()'s caller to do this? Every architecture that supports this will have to do this, and neither x86 nor arm64 are able to do it atomically, or quicker than calling resctrl_arch_reset_rmid_all() for each domain.

Could we pass the struct rdt_resource in - instead of hard coding it to be the L3 - you already check hw_res->mbm_cntr_assign_enabled so no additional check is needed...

Background: I'd like to reduce the amount of "I magically know its the L3" to reduce the work for whoever has to add monitor support for something other than the L3. (I've currently no plans - but someone is going to build it!)

The work you do in these functions is pretty symmetric. Is it worth combining them into:

| resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_set(struct rdt_resource *r, bool enable) {
|	struct rdt_hw_resource *hw_res = resctrl_to_arch_res(r);
|

|		hw_res->mbm_cntr_assign_enabled = enable;
|	}
| }

I think you need a resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_test() too - I'll comment on that patch...

AMD ABMC feature is enabled by setting enabled bit(0) in MSR L3_QOS_EXT_CFG. When the state of ABMC is changed, the MSR needs to be updated on all the logical processors in the QOS Domain.

Hardware counters will reset when ABMC state is changed. Reset the architectural state so that reading of hardware counter is not considered as an overflow in next update.

The ABMC feature details are documented in APM listed below [1].

Once the filesystem code moves to /fs/resctrl, this can't be inlined from the architectures internal.h. Accessing rdt_resources_all[] from asm/resctrl.h isn't something that is done today... could you move this to be a non-inline function in core.c?

Sure.

Is there any mileage in getting resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_enable()'s caller to do this? Every architecture that supports this will have to do this, and neither x86 nor arm64 are able to do it atomically, or quicker than calling resctrl_arch_reset_rmid_all() for each domain.

Yes. I think it is better to it at at higher level(at rdtgroup_mbm_mode_write). That way it is common across all the architectures.

Could we pass the struct rdt_resource in - instead of hard coding it to be the L3 - you already check hw_res->mbm_cntr_assign_enabled so no additional check is needed...

Background: I'd like to reduce the amount of "I magically know its the L3" to reduce the work for whoever has to add monitor support for something other than the L3. (I've currently no plans - but someone is going to build it!)

These calls are originated from filesystem (in this case rdtgroup_mbm_mode_write) which holds the mutex already. I don't think we need a separate lock here. Let me know If I am missing something here.

PATCH v6 7/22 x86/resctrl: Introduce the interface to display monitor mode

In reply to Babu Moger

The mbm_mode displays list of monitor modes supported.

The mbm_cntr_assign is one of the currently supported modes. It is also called ABMC (Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring Counters) feature. ABMC feature provides option to assign a hardware counter to an RMID and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is assigned. ABMC mode is enabled by default when supported.

Legacy mode works without the assignment option.

Provide an interface to display the monitor mode on the system. $cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode [mbm_cntr_assign]
legacy

Switching the mbm_mode will reset all the mbm counters of all resctrl groups.

---
v6: Added documentation for mbm_cntr_assign and legacy mode.
Moved mbm_mode fflags initialization to static initialization.

v5: Changed interface name to mbm_mode.
It will be always available even if ABMC feature is not supported. Added description in resctrl.rst about ABMC mode.
Fixed display abmc and legacy consistantly.

v4: Fixed the checks for legacy and abmc mode. Default it ABMC.

v3: New patch to display ABMC capability.

Hi Babu,

The mbm_mode displays list of monitor modes supported.

The mbm_cntr_assign is one of the currently supported modes. It is also called ABMC (Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring Counters) feature. ABMC feature provides option to assign a hardware counter to an RMID and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is assigned. ABMC mode is enabled by default when supported.

Legacy mode works without the assignment option.

Provide an interface to display the monitor mode on the system. $cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode [mbm_cntr_assign]
legacy

Switching the mbm_mode will reset all the mbm counters of all resctrl groups.

for example (please improve):

Introduce "mbm_cntr_assign" mode that provides the option to assign a hardware counter to an RMID and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is assigned. On AMD systems "mbm_cntr_assign" is backed by the ABMC (Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring Counters) hardware feature. "mbm_cntr_assign" mode is enabled by default when supported.

"default" mode is the existing monitoring mode that works without the explicit counter assignment, instead relying on dynamic counter assignment by hardware that may result in hardware not dedicating a counter resulting in monitoring data reads returning "Unavailable".

The arch code should not access the resctrl file flags. This should be moved to make

PATCH v6 9/22 x86/resctrl: Introduce MBM counters bitmap

In reply to Babu Moger

Hardware provides a set of counters when mbm_cntr_assignable feature is supported. These counters are used for assigning the events in resctrl group when the feature is enabled.

Introduce mbm_cntrs_free_map bitmap to track available and free counters and set of routines to allocate and free the counters.

---
v6: Removed the variable mbm_cntrs_free_map_len. This is not required.
Removed the call mbm_cntrs_init() in arch code. This needs to be done at higher level.
Used DECLARE_BITMAP to initialize mbm_cntrs_free_map. Moved all the counter interfaces mbm_cntr_alloc() and mbm_cntr_free() in here as part of separating arch and fs bits.

v5:
Updated the comments and commit log.
Few renames
num_cntrs_free_map -> mbm_cntrs_free_map num_cntrs_init -> mbm_cntrs_init
Added initialization in rdt_get_tree because the default ABMC enablement happens during the init.

v4: Changed the name to num_cntrs where applicable.
Used bitmap apis.
Added more comments for the globals.

v3: Changed the bitmap name to assign_cntrs_free_map. Removed abmc
from the name.

v2: Changed the bitmap name to assignable_counter_free_map from
abmc_counter_free_map.

Please make this resctrl limit of '64' a define in linux/resctrl.h so the arch code knows what the limit is!

MPAM platforms may have more than this - and really bad things happen if mbm_cntrs_init() passes bitmap_fill() a value greater than 64.

Even better - could we dynamically allocate this bitmap using the size advertised by the architecture code?

PATCH v6 10/22 x86/resctrl: Introduce mbm_total_cfg and mbm_local_cfg

In reply to Babu Moger

If the BMEC (Bandwidth Monitoring Event Configuration) feature is supported, the bandwidth events can be configured to track specific events. The event configuration is domain specific. ABMC (Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring Counters) feature needs event configuration information to assign hardware counter to an RMID. Event configurations are not stored in resctrl but instead always read from or written to hardware directly when prompted by user space.

Read the event configuration from the hardware during the domain initialization. Save the configuration information in rdt_hw_mon_domain, so it can be used for counter assignment.

---
v6: Renamed resctrl_arch_mbm_evt_config -> resctrl_mbm_evt_config_init
Initialized value to INVALID_CONFIG_VALUE if it is not configurable. Minor commit message update.

v5: Exported mon_event_config_index_get.
Renamed arch_domain_mbm_evt_config to resctrl_arch_mbm_evt_config.

v4: Read the configuration information from the hardware to initialize.
Added few commit messages.
Fixed the tab spaces.

v3: Minor changes related to rebase in mbm_config_write_domain.

v2: No changes.

PATCH v6 11/22 x86/resctrl: Remove MSR reading of event configuration value

In reply to Babu Moger

The event configuration is domain specific and initialized during domain initialization. The values is stored in rdt_hw_mon_domain.

It is not required to read the configuration register every time user asks for it. Use the value stored in rdt_hw_mon_domain instead.

Introduce resctrl_arch_event_config_get() and resctrl_arch_event_config_set() to get/set architecture domain specific mbm_total_cfg/mbm_local_cfg values. Also, remove unused config value definitions.

---
v6: Fixed inconstancy with types. Made all the types to u32 for config
value.
Removed few rdt_last_cmd_puts as it is not necessary. Removed unused config value definitions.
Few more updates to commit message.

v5: Introduced resctrl_arch_event_config_get and
resctrl_arch_event_config_get() based on our discussion.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

v4: New patch.

hmmm ... while the config values are not used they are now established ABI and any other architecture that wants to support configurable events will need to follow these definitions. It is thus required to keep them documented in the kernel in support of future changes. I understand that they are documented in user docs, but could we keep them in the kernel code also? Since they are unused they could perhaps be moved to comments as a compromise?

It is thus required to keep them documented in the kernel in support of future changes. I understand that they are documented in user docs, but could we keep them in the kernel code also? Since they are unused they could perhaps be moved to comments as a compromise?

Quoted 2 lines

How about just keeping them as is? I will just not remove it.

I am not aware of any policy here. I'm ok with keeping them as is. I do not know if there are any static checkers that may complain, if there are then the defines can be moved to comments.

PATCH v6 12/22 x86/resctrl: Introduce mbm_cntr_map to track counters at domain

In reply to Babu Moger

The MBM counters are allocated at resctrl group level. It is tracked by mbm_cntrs_free_map. Then it is assigned to the domain based on the user input. It needs to be tracked at domain level also.

Add the mbm_cntr_map bitmap in rdt_mon_domain structure to keep track of assignment at domain level. The global counter at mbm_cntrs_free_map can be released when assignment at all the domain are cleared.

PATCH v6 13/22 x86/resctrl: Add data structures and definitions for ABMC assignment

In reply to Babu Moger

The ABMC feature provides an option to the user to assign a hardware counter to an RMID and monitor the bandwidth as long as the counter is assigned. The bandwidth events will be tracked by the hardware until the user changes the configuration. Each resctrl group can configure maximum two counters, one for total event and one for local event.

The ABMC feature implements a pair of MSRs, L3_QOS_ABMC_CFG (C000_03FDh) and L3_QOS_ABMC_DSC (C000_3FEh). The counters are configured by writing to MSR L3_QOS_ABMC_CFG. Configuration is done by setting the counter id, bandwidth source (RMID) and bandwidth configuration supported by BMEC (Bandwidth Monitoring Event Configuration).

L3_QOS_ABMC_DSC is a read-only MSR. Reading L3_QOS_ABMC_DSC returns the configuration of the counter id specified in L3_QOS_ABMC_CFG.cntr_id with rmid(bw_src) and event configuration(bw_type).

Attempts to read or write these MSRs when ABMC is not enabled will result in a #GP(0) exception.

Introduce data structures and definitions for ABMC MSRs.

PATCH v6 14/22 x86/resctrl: Introduce cntr_id in mongroup for assignments

In reply to Babu Moger

mbm_cntr_assignable feature provides an option to the user to assign a hardware counter to an RMID and monitor the bandwidth as long as the counter is assigned. There can be two counters per monitor group, one for total event and another for local event.

Introduce cntr_id to manage the assignments.

PATCH v6 15/22 x86/resctrl: Add the interface to assign a hardware counter

In reply to Babu Moger

The ABMC feature provides an option to the user to assign a hardware counter to an RMID and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is assigned. The assigned RMID will be tracked by the hardware until the user unassigns it manually.

Counters are configured by writing to L3_QOS_ABMC_CFG MSR and specifying the counter id, bandwidth source, and bandwidth types.

Provide the interface to assign the counter ids to RMID.

The feature details are documented in the APM listed below [1].

    Monitoring (ABMC).

v6: Removed mbm_cntr_alloc() from this patch to keep fs and arch code

resctr_arch_assign_cntr
More comments on commit log.
Added function summary.

v4: Commit message update.
User bitmap APIs where applicable. Changed the interfaces considering MPAM(arm). Added domain specific assignment.

v3: Removed the static from the prototype of rdtgroup_assign_abmc.
The function is not called directly from user anymore. These changes are related to global assignment interface.

v2: Minor text changes in commit message.

After going through MPAM series this no longer looks correct. As the name of this function implies this is an index unique to the monitor event configuration feature and as the MPAM series highlights, it is unique to the architecture, not something that is visible to resctrl fs. resctrl fs uses the event IDs and it is only when the fs makes a request to the architecture that this translation comes into play.

With this change, what is the architecture specific "mon event config index" now becomes part of resctrl fs used for something totally different from mon event configuration.

I think we should separate this to make sure we distinguish between an architectural translation and a resctrl fs translation, the array index is not the same as the architecture specific "mov event config index".

How about we start with something simple that is defined by resctrl fs? for example:
#define MBM_EVENT_ARRAY_INDEX(_event) (_event - 2)

hmmm ... so rdtgroup_alloc_cntr() returns 0 if the counter is assigned already, and in this case the configuration is done again even if counter was already assigned. Is this intended?

rdtgroup_assign_cntr() seems to be almost identical to rdtgroup_assign_update() that has protection against the above from happening. It looks like these two functions can be merged into one?

There currently seems to be a mismatch between functions needing to access this ID directly as above in some cases while also needing to use helpers like rdtgroup_alloc_cntr().

Also, as James indicated, resctrl_arch_assign_cntr() may fail on Arm so this needs error checking even though the x86 implementation always returns success.

counter to an RMID and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is assigned. The assigned RMID will be tracked by the hardware until the user unassigns
it manually.

Counters are configured by writing to L3_QOS_ABMC_CFG MSR and specifying the counter id, bandwidth source, and bandwidth types.

Provide the interface to assign the counter ids to RMID.

The feature details are documented in the APM listed below [1].

PATCH v6 16/22 x86/resctrl: Add the interface to unassign a MBM counter

In reply to Babu Moger

The ABMC feature provides an option to the user to assign a hardware counter to an RMID and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is assigned. The assigned RMID will be tracked by the hardware until the user unassigns it manually.

Hardware provides only limited number of counters. If the system runs out of assignable counters, kernel will display an error when a new assignment is requested. Users need to unassign a already assigned counter to make space for new assignment.

Provide the interface to unassign the counter ids from the group. Free the counter if it is not assigned in any of the domains.

The feature details are documented in the APM listed below [1].
[1] AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2: System Programming

    Publication # 24593 Revision 3.41 section 19.3.3.3 Assignable Bandwidth
    Monitoring (ABMC).

v6: Removed mbm_cntr_free from this patch.
Added counter test in all the domains and free if it is not assigned to any domains.

More comments on commit log.

v4: Added domain specific unassign feature.
Few name changes.

v3: Removed the static from the prototype of rdtgroup_unassign_abmc.
The function is not called directly from user anymore. These changes are related to global assignment interface.

counter to an RMID and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is assigned. The assigned RMID will be tracked by the hardware until the user unassigns it manually.

Hardware provides only limited number of counters. If the system runs out of assignable counters, kernel will display an error when a new assignment is requested. Users need to unassign a already assigned counter to make space for new assignment.

Provide the interface to unassign the counter ids from the group. Free the counter if it is not assigned in any of the domains.

Assign/unassign counters on resctrl group creation/deletion. Two counters are required per group, one for total event and one for local event.

There are only limited number of counters for assignment. If the counters are exhausted, report the warnings and continue. It is not required to fail group creation for assignment failures. Users have the option to modify the assignments later.

Assign/unassign counters on resctrl group creation/deletion. Two counters are required per group, one for total event and one for local event.

There are only limited number of counters for assignment. If the counters are exhausted, report the warnings and continue. It is not required to

v6: Removed the redundant comments on all the calls of rdtgroup_assign_cntrs. Updated the commit message.
     Dropped printing error message on every call of rdtgroup_assign_cntrs.

v5: Removed the code to enable/disable ABMC during the mount. That will be another patch.
     Added arch callers to get the arch specific data. Renamed fuctions to match the other abmc function. Added code comments for assignment failures.

PATCH v6 19/22 x86/resctrl: Introduce the interface to switch between monitor modes

In reply to Babu Moger

Introduce interface to switch between ABMC and legacy modes.

By default ABMC is enabled on boot if the feature is available. Provide the interface to go back to legacy mode if required.

$ cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode
[mbm_cntr_assign]
legacy

To enable the "mbm_cntr_assign" mode:

$ echo "mbm_cntr_assign" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode

To enable the legacy monitoring feature:

$ echo "legacy" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode

MBM event counters will reset when mbm_mode is changed.

---
v6: Changed the mode name to mbm_cntr_assign.
Moved all the FS related code here.
Added changes to reset mbm_cntr_map and resctrl group counters.

v5: Change log and mode description text correction.

v4: Minor commit text changes. Keep the default to ABMC when supported.
Fixed comments to reflect changed interface "mbm_mode".

v3: New patch to address the review comments from upstream.

Introduce interface to switch between ABMC and legacy modes.

By default ABMC is enabled on boot if the feature is available. Provide the interface to go back to legacy mode if required.

I may have missed it on an earlier version ... why would anyone want the non-ABMC behaviour on hardware that requires it: counters randomly reset and randomly return 'Unavailable'... is that actually useful?

You default this to on, so there isn't a backward compatibility argument here.

It seems like being able to disable this is a source of complexity - is it needed?

For MPAM I'm looking at enabling this on any platform that is short of monitors. If user-space disables it I don't have a "at random" hardware behaviour to fall back on - its extra work to invent a behaviour I'm not sure is useful...

The ability to go back to legacy was added while looking ahead to support the next "assignable counter" feature that is software based ("soft-RMID" .. "soft-ABMC"?).

This series adds support for ABMC on recent AMD hardware to address the issue described in cover letter. This issue also exists on earlier AMD hardware that does not have the ABMC feature and Peter is working on a software solution to address the issue on non-ABMC hardware. This software solution is expected to have the same interface as the hardware solution but earlier discussions revealed that it may introduce extra latency that users may only want to accept during periods of active monitoring. Thus the option to disable the counter assignment mode.

Your point about users returning to "legacy" mode on ABMC hardware is valid. I do not know if that is useful. Here I can only speculate since monitoring with ABMC is more accurate but also requires more user space involvement to assign counters while legacy mode is less accurate while requiring less user space involvement.

It should not be required for MPAM to have a "legacy" mode. resctrl fs can expose only one mode that is always enabled. Noting this now is important so that we can get the wording right in the documentation.

Thanks for chiming in on MPAM's plans for this work.

Sorry again for the soft-RMID/soft-ABMC confusion[1], it was soft-RMID that impacted context switch latency. Soft-ABMC does not require any additional work at context switch.

The only disadvantage to soft-ABMC I can think of is that it also limits reading llc_occupancy event counts to "assigned" groups, whereas without it, llc_occupancy works reliably on all RMIDs on AMD hardware.

hmmm ... keeping original llc_occupancy behavior does seem useful enough as motivation to keep the "legacy"/"default" mbm_assign_mode? It does sound to me as though soft-ABMC may not be as accurate when it comes to llc_occupancy. As I understand the hardware may tag entries in cache with RMID and that has a longer lifetime than the tasks that allocated that data into the cache. If soft-ABMC permanently associates an RMID with a local and total counter pair but that RMID is dynamically assigned to resctrl groups then a group may not always get the same RMID ... and thus its llc_occupancy data would be a combination of its cache allocations and all the cache allocations of resource groups that had that RMID before it. This may need significantly enhanced "limbo" handling?

To expand on this we may have to rework the interface if the counters can be assigned to events other than MBM.

James: could you please elaborate how you plan to use this feature and if this interface works for the planned usage?

Peter: considering the previous example [1] where soft-ABMC was using the "mbm_control" interface I do not think it is ideal to only use the "t" and "l" flags while llc_occupancy is also enabled/disabled via this interface. We should consider
(a) renaming the control file to indicate larger scope than MBM, (b) add flags for llc_occupancy. What do you think? I believe this is in line with stated goal from [1]: "I believe mbm_control should always accurately reflect which events are being counted."

For the use case of soft-ABMC that I'm aware of, it would be better to disable llc_occupancy events and accept it as a limitation as we're not using this feature. I don't want to slow down the rate at which MBM counters could be reassigned. Over the course of a multiple-second bandwidth measurement window on a bandwidth-saturated host, a previous group's initial cache occupancy isn't significant enough to justify a limbo period, especially when padded out to 1 second.

Peter: considering the previous example [1] where soft-ABMC was using the "mbm_control" interface I do not think it is ideal to only use the "t" and "l" flags while llc_occupancy is also enabled/disabled via this interface. We should consider
(a) renaming the control file to indicate larger scope than MBM, (b) add flags for llc_occupancy. What do you think? I believe this is in line with stated goal from [1]: "I believe mbm_control should always accurately reflect which events are being counted."

I should have said, "I believe mbm_control should always accurately reflect which _MBM_ events are being counted."

In general, MBM requires maintaining cumulative, running counts, while llc_occupancy is only a snapshot of cache usage. This is why MBM results in contended resources (counters) which must be managed by the user. In the MPAM implementations I've seen so far, a small number (relative to the number of monitoring groups supported) of occupancy monitors is sufficient for a large number of groups, because it only limits the number of monitoring groups' occupancy counts which can be read in parallel and can be adequately managed within the MPAM driver without user interaction.

Because of this, broadening the scope of mbm_control to include occupancy would only serve to remind the user whether occupancy is supported, but would provide no new information beyond what's already provided by mon_features.

Introduce interface to switch between ABMC and legacy modes.

By default ABMC is enabled on boot if the feature is available. Provide the interface to go back to legacy mode if required.

Quoted 7 lines

I may have missed it on an earlier version ... why would anyone want the non-ABMC behaviour on hardware that requires it: counters randomly reset and randomly return 'Unavailable'... is that actually useful?

You default this to on, so there isn't a backward compatibility argument here.

It seems like being able to disable this is a source of complexity - is it needed?

The ability to go back to legacy was added while looking ahead to support the next "assignable counter" feature that is software based ("soft-RMID" .. "soft-ABMC"?).

Quoted 7 lines

This series adds support for ABMC on recent AMD hardware to address the issue described in cover letter. This issue also exists on earlier AMD hardware that does not have the ABMC feature and Peter is working on a software solution to address the issue on non-ABMC hardware. This software solution is expected to have the same interface as the hardware solution but earlier discussions revealed that it may introduce extra latency that users may only want to accept during periods of active monitoring. Thus the option to disable the counter assignment mode.

Quoted 3 lines

Sorry again for the soft-RMID/soft-ABMC confusion[1], it was soft-RMID that impacted context switch latency. Soft-ABMC does not require any additional work at context switch.

No problem. I did read [1] but I do not think I've seen soft-ABMC yet so my understanding of what it does is vague.

Quoted 4 lines

The only disadvantage to soft-ABMC I can think of is that it also limits reading llc_occupancy event counts to "assigned" groups, whereas without it, llc_occupancy works reliably on all RMIDs on AMD hardware.

Quoted 11 lines
Quoted 10 lines

hmmm ... keeping original llc_occupancy behavior does seem useful enough as motivation to keep the "legacy"/"default" mbm_assign_mode? It does sound to me as though soft-ABMC may not be as accurate when it comes to llc_occupancy. As I understand the hardware may tag entries in cache with RMID and that has a longer lifetime than the tasks that allocated that data into the cache. If soft-ABMC permanently associates an RMID with a local and total counter pair but that RMID is dynamically assigned to resctrl groups then a group may not always get the same RMID ... and thus its llc_occupancy data would be a combination of its cache allocations and all the cache allocations of resource groups that had that RMID before it. This may need significantly enhanced "limbo" handling?

Quoted 7 lines

For the use case of soft-ABMC that I'm aware of, it would be better to disable llc_occupancy events and accept it as a limitation as we're not using this feature. I don't want to slow down the rate at which MBM counters could be reassigned. Over the course of a multiple-second bandwidth measurement window on a bandwidth-saturated host, a previous group's initial cache occupancy isn't significant enough to justify a limbo period, especially when padded out to 1 second.

This sounds fair. It also sounds like a motivation for user space to be able to enable/disable soft-ABMC to be able to disable/enable llc_occupancy.

Earlier changelogs mentioned that counters are reset when ABMC is enabled. How does that behave here when one CPU comes online? Consider the scenario where a system is booted without all CPUs online. ABMC is initially enabled on all online CPUs with this flow ... user space could start using resctrl fs and create monitor groups that start accumulating architectural state. If the remaining CPUs come online at this point and this snippet enables ABMC, would it reset all counters? Should the architectural state be cleared?

Also, it still does not look right that the architecture decides the policy. Could this enabling be moved to resctrl_online_cpu() for resctrl fs to request architecture to enable assignable counters if it is supported?

How does that behave here when one CPU comes online? Consider the scenario where
a system is booted without all CPUs online. ABMC is initially enabled on all online
CPUs with this flow ... user space could start using resctrl fs and create monitor groups that start accumulating architectural state. If the remaining CPUs come online at this point and this snippet enables ABMC, would it reset all counters? Should the architectural state be cleared?

When new cpu comes online, it should inherit the abmc state which is set already. it should not force it either way. In that case, it is not required to reset the architectural state.

Also, it still does not look right that the architecture decides the policy. Could this enabling be moved to resctrl_online_cpu() for resctrl fs to request architecture to enable assignable counters if it is supported?

Sure. Will move the resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_configure() here with changes just to update the abmc state which is set during the init.

I do not think we are seeing it the same way. In your earlier comment you mention:

We need to set abmc state to "enabled" during the init when abmc is detected. resctrl_late_init -> .. -> rdt_get_mon_l3_config

This only happens once during the init.

I do not think that the ABMC state can be set during init since that runs before the fs code and thus the arch code cannot be aware of the fs policy that "mbm_assign_mode" is the default. This may become clear when you move resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_configure() to resctrl_online_cpu() though since I expect that the r->mon.mbm_cntr_assignable check will move into the fs resctrl_online_cpu() that will call the arch helper to set the state to enabled.

There are couple of problems here.

1. Hotplug with ABMC enabled.

System is running with ABMC enabled. Now, new cpu cames online. The function resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_configure() will set the MSR
MSR_IA32_L3_QOS_EXT_CFG to enable ABMC on the new CPU. This scenario works fine.

2. Hotplug with ABMC disabled.
Current code will force the system to enable ABMC on the new CPU. That is not correct.

We need to address both these cases.

I was thinking of separating the functionality in resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_configure() into two.

a. Just set the mbm_cntr_assign_enabled to true during the init.
if (r->mon.mbm_cntr_assignable)

       hw_res->mbm_cntr_assign_enabled = true;

This is similar to rdtgroup_setup_default(). Isn't it?

b. Change the functionality in resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_configure()
to update the MSR MSR_IA32_L3_QOS_EXT_CFG based on
hw_res->mbm_cntr_assign_enabled. Something like this.

void resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_configure(void)

{
    ---
    if (r->mon.mbm_cntr_assignable &&  hw_res->mbm_cntr_assign_enabled)
            abmc_set_one_amd(&enable);

---
}

Yes. The function resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_configure() will be called from resctrl_online_cpu().

Does it make sense? Any other idea?

PATCH v6 21/22 x86/resctrl: Introduce interface to list monitor states of all the groups

In reply to Babu Moger

Provide the interface to list the monitor states of all the resctrl groups in ABMC mode.

Example:
$cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control

List follows the following format:

"<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

Format for specific type of groups:

- Default CTRL_MON group:
"//<domain_id>=<flags>"

- Non-default CTRL_MON group:
"<CTRL_MON group>//<domain_id>=<flags>"

- Child MON group of default CTRL_MON group:
"/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

- Child MON group of non-default CTRL_MON group:
"<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

Flags can be one of the following:
t MBM total event is enabled
l MBM local event is enabled
tl Both total and local MBM events are enabled
_ None of the MBM events are enabled

---
v6: The domain specific assignment can be determined looking at mbm_cntr_map.
Removed rdtgroup_abmc_dom_cfg() and rdtgroup_abmc_dom_state(). Removed the switch statement for the domain_state detection. Determined the flags incremently.
Removed special handling of default group while printing..

v5: Replaced "assignment flags" with "flags".
Changes related to mon structure.
Changes related renaming the interface from mbm_assign_control to mbm_control.

v4: Added functionality to query domain specific assigment in.
rdtgroup_abmc_dom_state().

v3: New patch.
Addresses the feedback to provide the global assignment interface.

Re: [PATCH v6 21/22] x86/resctrl: Introduce interface to list monitor states of all the groups

Hi Babu,

Quoted 63 lines · Babu Moger

Provide the interface to list the monitor states of all the resctrl groups in ABMC mode.

Example:
$cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control

List follows the following format:

"<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

Format for specific type of groups:

- Default CTRL_MON group:
"//<domain_id>=<flags>"

- Non-default CTRL_MON group:
"<CTRL_MON group>//<domain_id>=<flags>"

- Child MON group of default CTRL_MON group:
"/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

- Child MON group of non-default CTRL_MON group:
"<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

Flags can be one of the following:
t MBM total event is enabled
l MBM local event is enabled
tl Both total and local MBM events are enabled
_ None of the MBM events are enabled

PATCH v6 22/22 x86/resctrl: Introduce interface to modify assignment states of the groups

In reply to Babu Moger

Introduce the interface to assign MBM events in ABMC mode.

Events can be enabled or disabled by writing to file /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control

Format is similar to the list format with addition of opcode for the assignment operation.
"<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

Format for specific type of groups:

* Default CTRL_MON group:

         "//<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

* Non-default CTRL_MON group:

         "<CTRL_MON group>//<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

* Child MON group of default CTRL_MON group:

         "/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

* Child MON group of non-default CTRL_MON group:

         "<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

Domain_id '*' will apply the flags on all the domains.

Opcode can be one of the following:

= Update the assignment to match the flags
+ assign a MBM event
- unassign a MBM event

Assignment flags can be one of the following:
t MBM total event
l MBM local event
tl Both total and local MBM events
_ None of the MBM events. Valid only with '=' opcode.

---
v6: Added support assign all if domain id is '*'
Fixed the allocation of counter id if it not assigned already.

v5: Interface name changed from mbm_assign_control to mbm_control.
Fixed opcode and flags combination.
'=_" is valid.
"-_" amd "+_" is not valid.
Minor message update.
Renamed the function with prefix - rdtgroup_. Corrected few documentation mistakes.
Rebase related changes after SNC support.

v4: Added domain specific assignments. Fixed the opcode parsing.

v3: New patch.
Addresses the feedback to provide the global assignment interface.

hmmm ... so you removed assigning mon_state to ASSIGN_NONE from default, but that did not change what this function returns since ASSIGN_NONE is 0 and mon_state is initialized to 0. Unknown flags should cause error so that it is possible to add flags in the future. Above prevents us from ever adding new flags.

Re: [PATCH v6 22/22] x86/resctrl: Introduce interface to modify assignment states of the groups

Hi Reinette,

Quoted 34 lines · Reinette Chatre

Hi Babu,

Quoted 31 lines · Babu Moger

Introduce the interface to assign MBM events in ABMC mode.

Events can be enabled or disabled by writing to file /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control

Format is similar to the list format with addition of opcode for the assignment operation.
  "<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

Format for specific type of groups:

  * Default CTRL_MON group:
          "//<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

  * Non-default CTRL_MON group:
          "<CTRL_MON group>//<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

  * Child MON group of default CTRL_MON group:
          "/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

  * Child MON group of non-default CTRL_MON group:
          "<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

Domain_id '*' will apply the flags on all the domains.

Opcode can be one of the following:

  = Update the assignment to match the flags
  + assign a MBM event
  - unassign a MBM event

Quoted 7 lines
Quoted 5 lines

Assignment flags can be one of the following:
  t  MBM total event
  l  MBM local event
  tl Both total and local MBM events
  _  None of the MBM events. Valid only with '=' opcode.

(please note comments in this area of cover letter)

Ok. Yes. Will test differrent cobminations of flags(like _lt etc..).

v6: Added support assign all if domain id is '*'
     Fixed the allocation of counter id if it not assigned already.

v5: Interface name changed from mbm_assign_control to mbm_control. Fixed opcode and flags combination.
     '=_" is valid.
     "-_" amd "+_" is not valid.
     Minor message update.
     Renamed the function with prefix - rdtgroup_. Corrected few documentation mistakes.
     Rebase related changes after SNC support.

v4: Added domain specific assignments. Fixed the opcode parsing.

v3: New patch.
     Addresses the feedback to provide the global assignment interface.

It looks like this supports flags like "_lt", treating it as assigning both local and total. I expect this should remove all flags instead?

This is a cobination of flags.
"_lt" This will assign both local and total.
"lt_" This with remove both the flags.

It seems alright to me. Do you want me to change the bahaviour here?

hmmm ... so you removed assigning mon_state to ASSIGN_NONE from default, but that did not change what this function returns since ASSIGN_NONE is 0 and mon_state is initialized to 0. Unknown flags should cause error so that it is possible to add flags in the future. Above prevents us from ever adding new flags.

May be I am missing something here. How about this?

enum {
ASSIGN_NONE = 0,
ASSIGN_TOTAL,
ASSIGN_LOCAL,
ASSIGN_INVALID,
};

static int rdtgroup_str_to_mon_state(char *flag)

{
        int i, mon_state = ASSIGN_NONE;

        for (i = 0; i < strlen(flag); i++) {
                switch (*(flag + i)) {
                case 't':
                        mon_state |= ASSIGN_TOTAL;
                        break;
                case 'l':
                        mon_state |= ASSIGN_LOCAL;
                        break;
                case '_':
                        mon_state = ASSIGN_NONE;
                        break;
                default:
			mon_state = ASSIGN_INVALID;
                        goto out_done;
               }
        }

:out_done:

        return mon_state;
}

Then handle the ASSIGN_INVALID from the caller. Is that what you think?

It looks like this supports flags like "_lt", treating it as assigning both local and total. I expect this should remove all flags instead?

This is a cobination of flags.
"_lt" This will assign both local and total.
"lt_" This with remove both the flags.

It seems alright to me. Do you want me to change the bahaviour here?

This looks like undefined behavior to me. A request to set individual flags and also clear all flags looks like a contradiction to me.

hmmm ... so you removed assigning mon_state to ASSIGN_NONE from default, but that did not change what this function returns since ASSIGN_NONE is 0 and mon_state is initialized to 0. Unknown flags should cause error so that it is possible to add flags in the future. Above prevents us from ever adding new flags.

May be I am missing something here. How about this?

ASSIGN_NONE = 0,

No. This is case to skip checking for domain when '*' is passed to apply assignment to all the domains.

Using "*" for a domain still requires valid flags, no?

Hi Babu,

Feature adds following interface files:

/sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode: Reports the list of assignable monitoring features supported. The enclosed brackets indicate which feature is enabled.

I've been considering this file as a generic file where all future "MBM modes" can be captured, while this series treats it as specific to "assignable monitoring features" (btw, should this be "assignable monitoring modes" to match the name?). Looking closer at this implementation it does make things easier that "mbm_mode" is specific to "assignable monitoring features" but when doing so I think it should have a less generic name to avoid the obstacles we have with the existing "mon_features". Apologies that this goes back to be close to what you had earlier ... maybe "mbm_assign_mode"?

Quoted 31 lines

/sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/num_mbm_cntrs: Reports the number of monitoring counters available for assignment.

/sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control: Reports the resctrl group and monitor status of each group. Assignment state can be updated by writing to the interface.

# Examples

a. Check if ABMC support is available
#mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl/

#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode
[mbm_cntr_assign]
legacy

ABMC feature is detected and it is enabled.

b. Check how many ABMC counters are available.

	#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/num_mbm_cntrs
	32

c. Create few resctrl groups.

	# mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_groups/child_default_mon_grp
	# mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/non_default_ctrl_mon_grp
	# mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/non_default_ctrl_mon_grp/mon_groups/child_non_default_mon_grp

d. This series adds a new interface file /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control
to list and modify the group's monitoring states. File provides single place to list monitoring states of all the resctrl groups. It makes it easier for user space to learn about the counters are used without needing to traverse

"to learn about the counters are used" -> "to learn the counters that are used" or "to learn about the used counters" or ...?

Quoted 54 lines

all the groups thus reducing the number of file system calls.

The list follows the following format:

"<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

Format for specific type of groups:

* Default CTRL_MON group:
"//<domain_id>=<flags>"

* Non-default CTRL_MON group:
"<CTRL_MON group>//<domain_id>=<flags>"

* Child MON group of default CTRL_MON group:
"/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

* Child MON group of non-default CTRL_MON group:
"<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

Flags can be one of the following:

t MBM total event is enabled.
l MBM local event is enabled.
tl Both total and local MBM events are enabled. _ None of the MBM events are enabled

Examples:

# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control non_default_ctrl_mon_grp//0=tl;1=tl; non_default_ctrl_mon_grp/child_non_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=tl; //0=tl;1=tl;
/child_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=tl;

There are four groups and all the groups have local and total event enabled on domain 0 and 1.

e. Update the group assignment states using the interface file /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control.

The write format is similar to the above list format with addition of opcode for the assignment operation.
“<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>”

* Default CTRL_MON group:
"//<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

* Non-default CTRL_MON group:
"<CTRL_MON group>//<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

* Child MON group of default CTRL_MON group:
"/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

Quoted 8 lines

* Child MON group of non-default CTRL_MON group:
"<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

Opcode can be one of the following:

= Update the assignment to match the flag.
+ Assign a new event.
- Unassign a new event.

Since user space can provide more than one flag the text could be more accurate noting this. Eg. "Update the assignment to match the flag" -> "Update the assignment to match the flags.".

Quoted 7 lines

Flags can be one of the following:

t MBM total event.
l MBM local event.
tl Both total and local MBM events.
_ None of the MBM events. Only works with '=' opcode.

Please take care with the implementation that seems to support a variety of combinations. If I understand correctly the implementation support flags like, for example, "tttt", "llll", "ltlt" ... those may not be an issue but of most concern is, for example, a pattern like "_lt" that (unexpectedly) appears to result in set of total and local.

f. Read the event mbm_total_bytes and mbm_local_bytes of the default group.

    There is no change in reading the events with ABMC. If the event is unassigned
    when reading, then the read will come back as "Unassigned".

	779247936
	# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_local_bytes
	765207488

g. Check the bandwidth configuration for the group. Note that bandwidth

    configuration has a domain scope. Total event defaults to 0x7F (to
    count all the events) and local event defaults to 0x15 (to count all
    the local numa events). The event bitmap decoding is available at
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/resctrl.rst
    in section "mbm_total_bytes_config", "mbm_local_bytes_config":
	
	#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_total_bytes_config
	0=0x7f;1=0x7f
	
	#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_local_bytes_config
	0=0x15;1=0x15

h. Change the bandwidth source for domain 0 for the total event to count only reads.

    Note that this change effects total events on the domain 0.
	
	#echo 0=0x33 > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_total_bytes_config
	#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_total_bytes_config
	0=0x33;1=0x7F

i. Now read the total event again. The first read will come back with "Unavailable"

    status. The subsequent read of mbm_total_bytes will display only the read events.
	
	#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_total_bytes
	Unavailable
	#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_total_bytes
	314101
Quoted 3 lines

j. Users will have the option to go back to legacy mbm_mode if required.
This can be done using the following command. Note that switching the mbm_mode will reset all the mbm counters of all resctrl groups.

"reset all the mbm counters" -> "reset all the MBM counters"

Hi Babu,

Feature adds following interface files:

/sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode: Reports the list of assignable monitoring features supported. The enclosed brackets indicate which feature is enabled.

Quoted 14 lines

I've been considering this file as a generic file where all future "MBM modes"
can be captured, while this series treats it as specific to "assignable monitoring
features" (btw, should this be "assignable monitoring modes" to match the name?).
Looking closer at this implementation it does make things easier that "mbm_mode" is
specific to "assignable monitoring features" but when doing so I think it should have
a less generic name to avoid the obstacles we have with the existing "mon_features".
Apologies that this goes back to be close to what you had earlier ... maybe "mbm_assign_mode"?

Lets see:
#cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode [mbm_cntr_assign] <- This already says 'assign'. Isn't that enough?

default <- Default mode is not related assignable features.

I would think mbm_mode is fine. Let me know.

Quoted 33 lines

/sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/num_mbm_cntrs: Reports the number of monitoring counters available for assignment.

/sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control: Reports the resctrl group and monitor
status of each group. Assignment state can be updated by writing to the interface.

# Examples

a. Check if ABMC support is available
    #mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl/

    #cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_mode
    [mbm_cntr_assign]
    legacy

    ABMC feature is detected and it is enabled.

b. Check how many ABMC counters are available.

    #cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/num_mbm_cntrs 32

c. Create few resctrl groups.

    # mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_groups/child_default_mon_grp
    # mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/non_default_ctrl_mon_grp
    # mkdir
/sys/fs/resctrl/non_default_ctrl_mon_grp/mon_groups/child_non_default_mon_grp
Quoted 8 lines

d. This series adds a new interface file /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control
    to list and modify the group's monitoring states. File provides single place
    to list monitoring states of all the resctrl groups. It makes it easier for
    user space to learn about the counters are used without needing to traverse

Quoted 3 lines

"to learn about the counters are used" -> "to learn the counters that are used" or
"to learn about the used counters" or ...?

Sure.

Quoted 56 lines

    all the groups thus reducing the number of file system calls.

    The list follows the following format:

    "<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

    Format for specific type of groups:

    * Default CTRL_MON group:
     "//<domain_id>=<flags>"

        * Non-default CTRL_MON group:
                "<CTRL_MON group>//<domain_id>=<flags>"

        * Child MON group of default CTRL_MON group:
                "/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

        * Child MON group of non-default CTRL_MON group:
                "<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id>=<flags>"

        Flags can be one of the following:

         t  MBM total event is enabled.
         l  MBM local event is enabled.
         tl Both total and local MBM events are enabled. _  None of the MBM events are enabled

    Examples:

    # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control
    non_default_ctrl_mon_grp//0=tl;1=tl;
    non_default_ctrl_mon_grp/child_non_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=tl;
    //0=tl;1=tl;
    /child_default_mon_grp/0=tl;1=tl;

    There are four groups and all the groups have local and total event enabled on domain 0 and 1.

e. Update the group assignment states using the interface file /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_control.

      The write format is similar to the above list format with addition of opcode for the assignment operation.
         “<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>”

    * Default CTRL_MON group:
            "//<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

    * Non-default CTRL_MON group:
            "<CTRL_MON group>//<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

    * Child MON group of default CTRL_MON group:
            "/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

Quoted 8 lines

    * Child MON group of non-default CTRL_MON group:
            "<CTRL_MON group>/<MON group>/<domain_id><opcode><flags>"

    Opcode can be one of the following:

    = Update the assignment to match the flag.
    + Assign a new event.
    - Unassign a new event.

Quoted 5 lines

Since user space can provide more than one flag the text could be more accurate
noting this. Eg. "Update the assignment to match the flag" -> "Update the assignment
to match the flags.".

Sure.

Quoted 9 lines
Quoted 8 lines

    Flags can be one of the following:

         t  MBM total event.
         l  MBM local event.
         tl Both total and local MBM events.
         _  None of the MBM events. Only works with '=' opcode.

Quoted 6 lines

Please take care with the implementation that seems to support a variety of combinations. If I understand correctly the implementation support flags like,
for example, "tttt", "llll", "ltlt" ... those may not be an issue but of most concern is, for example, a pattern like "_lt" that (unexpectedly) appears to result in set of total and local.

Yes. Should we not allow flag combinations with "_"? I am not very sure about how to go about this.
