cpufreq: ACPI: Update arch scale-invariance max perf ratio if CPPC is not there
If the maximum performance level taken for computing the arch_max_freq_ratio value used in the x86 scale-invariance code is higher than the one corresponding to the cpuinfo.max_freq value coming from the acpi_cpufreq driver, the scale-invariant utilization falls below 100% even if the CPU runs at cpuinfo.max_freq or slightly faster, which causes the schedutil governor to select a frequency below cpuinfo.max_freq. That frequency corresponds to a frequency table entry below the maximum performance level necessary to get to the "boost" range of CPU frequencies which prevents "boost" frequencies from being used in some workloads. While this issue is related to scale-invariance, it may be amplified by commit |

x86: PM: Register syscore_ops for scale invariance
On x86 scale invariace tends to be disabled during resume from
suspend-to-RAM, because the MPERF or APERF MSR values are not as
expected then due to updates taking place after the platform
firmware has been invoked to complete the suspend transition.
That, of course, is not desirable, especially if the schedutil
scaling governor is in use, because the lack of scale invariance
causes it to be less reliable.
To counter that effect, modify init_freq_invariance() to register
a syscore_ops object for scale invariance with the ->resume callback
pointing to init_counter_refs() which will run on the CPU starting
the resume transition (the other CPUs will be taken care of the
"online" operations taking place later).

Yet another large set of x86 interrupt management updates:
- Simplification and distangling of the MSI related functionality
- Let IO/APIC construct the RTE entries from an MSI message instead of
having IO/APIC specific code in the interrupt remapping drivers
- Make the retrieval of the parent interrupt domain (vector or remap
unit) less hardcoded and use the relevant irqdomain callbacks for
selection.
- Allow the handling of more than 255 CPUs without a virtualized IOMMU
when the hypervisor supports it. This has made been possible by the
above modifications and also simplifies the existing workaround in the
HyperV specific virtual IOMMU.
- Cleanup of the historical timer_works() irq flags related
inconsistencies.

x86: Print ratio freq_max/freq_base used in frequency invariance calculations
The value freq_max/freq_base is a fundamental component of frequency invariance calculations. It may come from a variety of sources such as MSRs or ACPI data, tracking it down when troubleshooting a system could be non-trivial. It is worth saving it in the kernel logs. # dmesg | grep 'Estimated ratio of average max' [ 14.024036] smpboot: Estimated ratio of average max frequency by base frequency (times 1024): 1289 Signed-off-by: Giovanni Gherdovich <ggherdovich@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201112182614.10700-4-ggherdovich@suse.cz |

x86, sched: Use midpoint of max_boost and max_P for frequency invariance on AMD EPYC
Frequency invariant accounting calculations need the ratio
freq_curr/freq_max, but freq_max is unknown as it depends on dynamic power
allocation between cores: AMD EPYC CPUs implement "Core Performance Boost".
Three candidates are considered to estimate this value:
- maximum non-boost frequency
- maximum boost frequency
- the mid point between the above two
Experimental data on an AMD EPYC Zen2 machine slightly favors the third
option, which is applied with this patch.
The analysis uses the ondemand cpufreq governor as baseline, and compares
it with schedutil in a number of configurations. Using the freq_max value
described above offers a moderate advantage in performance and efficiency:
sugov-max (freq_max=max_boost) performs the worst on tbench: less
throughput and reduced efficiency than the other invariant-schedutil
options (see "Data Overview" below). Consider that tbench is generally a
problematic case as no schedutil version currently is better than ondemand.
sugov-P0 (freq_max=max_P) is the worst on dbench, while the other sugov's
can surpass ondemand with less filesystem latency and slightly increased
efficiency.

x86, sched: Calculate frequency invariance for AMD systems
This is the first pass in creating the ability to calculate the frequency invariance on AMD systems. This approach uses the CPPC highest performance and nominal performance values that range from 0 - 255 instead of a high and base frquency. This is because we do not have the ability on AMD to get a highest frequency value. On AMD systems the highest performance and nominal performance vaues do correspond to the highest and base frequencies for the system so using them should produce an appropriate ratio but some tweaking is likely necessary. Due to CPPC being initialized later in boot than when the frequency invariant calculation is currently made, I had to create a callback from the CPPC init code to do the calculation after we have CPPC data. Special thanks to "kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>" for reporting that compilation of drivers/acpi/cppc_acpi.c is conditional to CONFIG_ACPI_CPPC_LIB, not just CONFIG_ACPI.

x86/apic: Cleanup destination mode

x86/apic: Get rid of apic:: Dest_logical
struct apic has two members which store information about the destination mode: dest_logical and irq_dest_mode. dest_logical contains a mask which was historically used to set the destination mode in IPI messages. Over time the usage was reduced and the logical/physical functions were seperated. There are only a few places which still use 'dest_logical' but they can use 'irq_dest_mode' instead. irq_dest_mode is actually a boolean where 0 means physical destination mode and 1 means logical destination mode. Of course the name does not reflect the functionality. This will be cleaned up in a subsequent change. Remove apic::dest_logical and fixup the remaining users.

x86/hotplug: Silence APIC only after all interrupts are migrated
There is a race when taking a CPU offline. Current code looks like this:
native_cpu_disable()
{
...
apic_soft_disable();
/*
* Any existing set bits for pending interrupt to
* this CPU are preserved and will be sent via IPI
* to another CPU by fixup_irqs().
*/
cpu_disable_common();
{
....
/*
* Race window happens here. Once local APIC has been
* disabled any new interrupts from the device to
* the old CPU are lost
*/
fixup_irqs(); // Too late to capture anything in IRR.
...
}
}
The fix is to disable the APIC *after* cpu_disable_common().
Testing was done with a USB NIC that provided a source of frequent
interrupts. A script migrated interrupts to a specific CPU and
then took that CPU offline.

x86, sched: check for counters overflow in frequency invariant accounting
The product mcnt * arch_max_freq_ratio can overflows u64.
For context, a large value for arch_max_freq_ratio would be 5000,
corresponding to a turbo_freq/base_freq ratio of 5 (normally it's more like
1500-2000). A large increment frequency for the MPERF counter would be 5GHz
(the base clock of all CPUs on the market today is less than that). With
these figures, a CPU would need to go without a scheduler tick for around 8
days for the u64 overflow to happen. It is unlikely, but the check is
warranted.
Under similar conditions, the difference acnt of two consecutive APERF
readings can overflow as well.
In these circumstances is appropriate to disable frequency invariant
accounting: the feature relies on measures of the clock frequency done at
every scheduler tick, which need to be "fresh" to be at all meaningful.
A note on i386: prior to version 5.1, the GCC compiler didn't have the
builtin function __builtin_mul_overflow. In these GCC versions the macro
check_mul_overflow needs __udivdi3() to do (u64)a/b, which the kernel
doesn't provide. For this reason this change fails to build on i386 if
GCC<5.1, and we protect the entire frequency invariant code behind
CONFIG_X86_64 (special thanks to "kbuild test robot" <lkp@intel.com>).

x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third try
... or the odyssey of trying to disable the stack protector for the function which generates the stack canary value. The whole story started with Sergei reporting a boot crash with a kernel built with gcc-10: Kernel panic — not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.6.0-rc5—00235—gfffb08b37df9 #139 Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. To be filled by O.E.M./H77M—D3H, BIOS F12 11/14/2013 Call Trace: dump_stack panic ? start_secondary __stack_chk_fail start_secondary secondary_startup_64 -—-[ end Kernel panic — not syncing: stack—protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary This happens because gcc-10 tail-call optimizes the last function call in start_secondary() - cpu_startup_entry() - and thus emits a stack canary check which fails because the canary value changes after the boot_init_stack_canary() call. To fix that, the initial attempt was to mark the one function which generates the stack canary with: __attribute__((optimize("-fno-stack-protector"))) ... start_secondary(void *unused) however, using the optimize attribute doesn't work cumulatively as the attribute does not add to but rather replaces previously supplied optimization options - roughly all -fxxx options. The key one among them being -fno-omit-frame-pointer and thus leading to not present frame pointer - frame pointer which the kernel needs. The next attempt to prevent compilers from tail-call optimizing the last function call cpu_startup_entry(), shy of carving out start_secondary() into a separate compilation unit and building it with -fno-stack-protector, was to add an empty asm(""). This current solution was short and sweet, and reportedly, is supported by both compilers but we didn't get very far this time: future (LTO?) optimization passes could potentially eliminate this, which leads us to the third attempt: having an actual memory barrier there which the compiler cannot ignore or move around etc. That should hold for a long time, but hey we said that about the other two solutions too so...

x86, sched: Don't enable static key when starting secondary CPUs
The static key arch_scale_freq_key only needs to be enabled once (at
boot). This change fixes a bug by which the key was enabled every time cpu0
is started, even as a secondary CPU during cpu hotplug. Secondary CPUs are
started from the idle thread: setting a static key from there means
acquiring a lock and may result in sleeping in the idle task, causing CPU
lockup.
Another consequence of this change is that init_counter_refs() is now
called on each CPU correctly; previously the function on_each_cpu() was
used, but it was called at boot when the only online cpu is cpu0.

x86, sched: Bail out of frequency invariance if base frequency is unknown
Some hypervisors such as VMWare ESXi 5.5 advertise support for
X86_FEATURE_APERFMPERF but then fill all MSR's with zeroes. In particular,
MSR_PLATFORM_INFO set to zero tricks the code that wants to know the base
clock frequency of the CPU (highest non-turbo frequency), producing a
division by zero when computing the ratio turbo_freq/base_freq necessary
for frequency invariant accounting.
It is to be noted that even if MSR_PLATFORM_INFO contained the appropriate
data, APERF and MPERF are constantly zero on ESXi 5.5, thus freq-invariance
couldn't be done in principle (not that it would make a lot of sense in a
VM anyway). The real problem is advertising X86_FEATURE_APERFMPERF. This
appears to be fixed in more recent versions: ESXi 6.7 doesn't advertise
that feature.

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.

x86/intel_pstate: Handle runtime turbo disablement/enablement in frequency invariance
On some platforms such as the Dell XPS 13 laptop the firmware disables turbo when the machine is disconnected from AC, and viceversa it enables it again when it's reconnected. In these cases a _PPC ACPI notification is issued. The scheduler needs to know freq_max for frequency-invariant calculations. To account for turbo availability to come and go, record freq_max at boot as if turbo was available and store it in a helper variable. Use a setter function to swap between freq_base and freq_max every time turbo goes off or on.

x86, sched: Add support for frequency invariance on ATOM
The scheduler needs the ratio freq_curr/freq_max for frequency-invariant accounting. On all ATOM CPUs prior to Goldmont, set freq_max to the 1-core turbo ratio. We intended to perform tests validating that this patch doesn't regress in terms of energy efficiency, given that this is the primary concern on Atom processors. Alas, we found out that turbostat doesn't support reading RAPL interfaces on our test machine (Airmont), and we don't have external equipment to measure power consumption; all we have is the performance results of the benchmarks we ran.

Not that any of this is terrbily interesting anyway, one doesn't buy an Atom system to go fast. Power consumption regressions aren't expected but we lack the equipment to make that measurement.

The scheduler needs the ratio freq_curr/freq_max for frequency-invariant accounting. On GOLDMONT (aka Apollo Lake), GOLDMONT_D (aka Denverton) and GOLDMONT_PLUS CPUs (aka Gemini Lake) set freq_max to the highest frequency reported by the CPU. The encoding of turbo ratios for GOLDMONT* is identical to the one for SKYLAKE_X, but we treat the Atom case apart because we want to set freq_max to a higher value, thus the ratio freq_curr/freq_max to be lower, leading to more conservative frequency selections (favoring power efficiency).

x86, sched: Add support for frequency invariance on XEON_PHI_KNL/KNM
The scheduler needs the ratio freq_curr/freq_max for frequency-invariant
accounting. On Xeon Phi CPUs set freq_max to the second-highest frequency
reported by the CPU.
Xeon Phi CPUs such as Knights Landing and Knights Mill typically have either
one or two turbo frequencies; in the former case that's 100 MHz above the base
frequency, in the latter case the two levels are 100 MHz and 200 MHz above
base frequency.
We set freq_max to the second-highest frequency reported by the CPU. This
could be the base frequency (if only one turbo level is available) or the first
turbo level (if two levels are available). The rationale is to compromise
between power efficiency or performance -- going straight to max turbo would
favor efficiency and blindly using base freq would favor performance.
For reference, this is how MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT must be parsed on a Xeon Phi
to get the available frequencies (taken from a comment in turbostat's sources):
[0] -- Reserved
[7:1] -- Base value of number of active cores of bucket 1.
[15:8] -- Base value of freq ratio of bucket 1.
[20:16] -- +ve delta of number of active cores of bucket 2.
i.e. active cores of bucket 2 =
active cores of bucket 1 + delta
[23:21] -- Negative delta of freq ratio of bucket 2.
i.e. freq ratio of bucket 2 =
freq ratio of bucket 1 - delta
[28:24]-- +ve delta of number of active cores of bucket 3.
[31:29]-- -ve delta of freq ratio of bucket 3.
[36:32]-- +ve delta of number of active cores of bucket 4.
[39:37]-- -ve delta of freq ratio of bucket 4.
[44:40]-- +ve delta of number of active cores of bucket 5.
[47:45]-- -ve delta of freq ratio of bucket 5.
[52:48]-- +ve delta of number of active cores of bucket 6.
[55:53]-- -ve delta of freq ratio of bucket 6.
[60:56]-- +ve delta of number of active cores of bucket 7.
[63:61]-- -ve delta of freq ratio of bucket 7.

3. TEST SETUP
1. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION: TBENCH +5%
-------------------------------------
A performance evaluation was conducted on a Knights Mill machine (see "Test
Setup" below), were the frequency-invariance patch (on schedutil) is compared
to both non-invariant schedutil and active intel_pstate with powersave: all
three tested kernels behave the same performance-wise and with regard to power
consumption (performance per watt). The only notable difference is tbench:
comparison ratio of performance with baseline; 1.00 means neutral,
higher is better:
I_PSTATE FREQ-INV
----------------------------------------
tbench 1.04 1.05
performance-per-watt ratios with baseline; 1.00 means neutral, higher is better:
I_PSTATE FREQ-INV
----------------------------------------
tbench 1.03 1.04
which essentially means that frequency-invariant schedutil is 5% better than
baseline, the same as intel_pstate+powersave.
As the results above are averaged over the varying parameter, here the detailed
table.

x86, sched: Add support for frequency invariance on SKYLAKE_X
The scheduler needs the ratio freq_curr/freq_max for frequency-invariant
accounting. On SKYLAKE_X CPUs set freq_max to the highest frequency that can
be sustained by a group of at least 4 cores.

x86, sched: Add support for frequency invariance
Implement arch_scale_freq_capacity() for 'modern' x86. This function
is used by the scheduler to correctly account usage in the face of
DVFS.
The present patch addresses Intel processors specifically and has positive
performance and performance-per-watt implications for the schedutil cpufreq
governor, bringing it closer to, if not on-par with, the powersave governor
from the intel_pstate driver/framework.
Large performance gains are obtained when the machine is lightly loaded and
no regression are observed at saturation. The benchmarks with the largest
gains are kernel compilation, tbench (the networking version of dbench) and
shell-intensive workloads.
1. FREQUENCY INVARIANCE: MOTIVATION
* Without it, a task looks larger if the CPU runs slower
2. PECULIARITIES OF X86

2.2 MAX FREQUENCY
* It varies with time (turbo). As an approximation, we set it to a
constant, i.e. 4-cores turbo frequency.
3. EFFECTS ON THE SCHEDUTIL FREQUENCY GOVERNOR

to utilization changes

| 1. FREQUENCY INVARIANCE: MOTIVATION
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
For example; suppose a CPU has two frequencies: 500 and 1000 Mhz. When
running a task that would consume 1/3rd of a CPU at 1000 MHz, it would
appear to consume 2/3rd (or 66.6%) when running at 500 MHz, giving the
false impression this CPU is almost at capacity, even though it can go
faster [*]. In a nutshell, without frequency scale-invariance tasks look
larger just because the CPU is running slower.
[*] (footnote: this assumes a linear frequency/performance relation; which
everybody knows to be false, but given realities its the best approximation
we can make.)
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 2. PECULIARITIES OF X86
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Accounting for frequency changes in PELT signals requires the computation of
the ratio freq_curr / freq_max. On x86 neither of those terms is readily
available.
2.1 CURRENT FREQUENCY
====================
Since modern x86 has hardware control over the actual frequency we run
at (because amongst other things, Turbo-Mode), we cannot simply use
the frequency as requested through cpufreq.
Instead we use the APERF/MPERF MSRs to compute the effective frequency
over the recent past. Also, because reading MSRs is expensive, don't
do so every time we need the value, but amortize the cost by doing it
every tick.
2.2 MAX FREQUENCY
=================
Obtaining freq_max is also non-trivial because at any time the hardware can
provide a frequency boost to a selected subset of cores if the package has
enough power to spare (eg: Turbo Boost). This means that the maximum frequency
available to a given core changes with time.
The approach taken in this change is to arbitrarily set freq_max to a constant
value at boot. The value chosen is the "4-cores (4C) turbo frequency" on most
microarchitectures, after evaluating the following candidates:
* 1-core (1C) turbo frequency (the fastest turbo state available)
* around base frequency (a.k.a. max P-state)
* something in between, such as 4C turbo
To interpret these options, consider that this is the denominator in
freq_curr/freq_max, and that ratio will be used to scale PELT signals such as
util_avg and load_avg. A large denominator will undershoot (util_avg looks a
bit smaller than it really is), viceversa with a smaller denominator PELT
signals will tend to overshoot. Given that PELT drives frequency selection
in the schedutil governor, we will have:
freq_max set to | effect on DVFS
--------------------+------------------
1C turbo | power efficiency (lower freq choices)
base freq | performance (higher util_avg, higher freq requests)
4C turbo | a bit of both
4C turbo proves to be a good compromise in a number of benchmarks (see below).
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 3. EFFECTS ON THE SCHEDUTIL FREQUENCY GOVERNOR
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Once an architecture implements a frequency scale-invariant utilization (the
PELT signal util_avg), schedutil switches its frequency selection formula from
freq_next = 1.25 * freq_curr * util [non-invariant util signal]
to
freq_next = 1.25 * freq_max * util [invariant util signal]
where, in the second formula, freq_max is set to the 1C turbo frequency (max
turbo). The advantage of the second formula, whose usage we unlock with this
patch, is that freq_next doesn't depend on the current frequency in an
iterative fashion, but can jump to any frequency in a single update. This
absence of feedback in the formula makes it quicker to react to utilization
changes and more robust against pathological instabilities.
Compare it to the update formula of intel_pstate/powersave:
freq_next = 1.25 * freq_max * Busy%
where again freq_max is 1C turbo and Busy% is the percentage of time not spent
idling (calculated with delta_MPERF / delta_TSC); essentially the same as
invariant schedutil, and largely responsible for intel_pstate/powersave good
reputation. The non-invariant schedutil formula is derived from the invariant
one by approximating util_inv with util_raw * freq_curr / freq_max, but this
has limitations.
Testing shows improved performances due to better frequency selections when
the machine is lightly loaded, and essentially no change in behaviour at
saturation / overutilization.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 4. KNOWN LIMITATIONS
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
It's been shown that it is possible to create pathological scenarios where a
CPU-bound task cannot reach max utilization, if the normalizing factor
freq_max is fixed to a constant value (see [Lelli-2018]).
If freq_max is set to 4C turbo as we do here, one needs to peg at least 5
cores in a package doing some busywork, and observe that none of those task
will ever reach max util (1024) because they're all running at less than the
4C turbo frequency.
While this concern still applies, we believe the performance benefit of
frequency scale-invariant PELT signals outweights the cost of this limitation.

5.2 SETUP
=========
* The baseline is Linux v5.2 with schedutil (non-invariant) and the intel_pstate
driver in passive mode.
* The rationale for choosing the various freq_max values to test have been to
try all the 1-2-3-4C turbo levels (note that 1C and 2C turbo are identical
on all machines), plus one more value closer to base_freq but still in the
turbo range (8C turbo for both 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA).
* In addition we've run all tests with intel_pstate/powersave for comparison.
* The filesystem is always XFS, the userspace is openSUSE Leap 15.1.
* 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA is capable of HWP (Hardware-Managed P-States), so the runs
with active intel_pstate on this machine use that.
This gives, in terms of combinations tested on each machine:
* 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA
* Baseline: Linux v5.2, non-invariant schedutil, intel_pstate passive
* intel_pstate active + powersave + HWP
* invariant schedutil, freq_max = 1C turbo
* invariant schedutil, freq_max = 3C turbo
* invariant schedutil, freq_max = 4C turbo
* both 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA
* [same as 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA, but no HWP capable]
* invariant schedutil, freq_max = 8C turbo
(which on 48x-HASWELL-NUMA is the same as 12C turbo, or "all cores turbo")
5.3 BENCHMARK RESULTS
=====================
5.3.1 NEUTRAL BENCHMARKS
------------------------
Tests that didn't show any measurable difference in performance on any of the
test machines between non-invariant schedutil and our patch are:
* NAS Parallel Benchmarks (NPB) using either MPI or openMP for IPC, any
computational kernel
* flexible I/O (FIO)
* hackbench (using threads or processes, and using pipes or sockets)
5.3.2 NON-NEUTRAL BENCHMARKS
----------------------------
What follow are summary tables where each benchmark result is given a score.
* A tilde (~) means a neutral result, i.e. no difference from baseline.
* Scores are computed with the ratio result_new / result_baseline, so a tilde
means a score of 1.00.
* The results in the score ratio are the geometric means of results running
the benchmark with different parameters (eg: for kernbench: using 1, 2, 4,
... number of processes; for pgbench: varying the number of clients, and so
on).
* The first three tables show higher-is-better kind of tests (i.e. measured in
operations/second), the subsequent three show lower-is-better kind of tests
(i.e. the workload is fixed and we measure elapsed time, think kernbench).
* "gitsource" is a name we made up for the test consisting in running the
entire unit tests suite of the Git SCM and measuring how long it takes. We
take it as a typical example of shell-intensive serialized workload.
* In the "I_PSTATE" column we have the results for intel_pstate/powersave. Other
columns show invariant schedutil for different values of freq_max. 4C turbo
is circled as it's the value we've chosen for the final implementation.

tbench4 1.50 1.05 1.13 | 1.13 | 1.25
+------+
In the table above we see that active intel_pstate is slightly better than our
4C-turbo patch (both in reference to the baseline non-invariant schedutil) on
read-only pgbench and much better on tbench. Both cases are notable in which
it shows that lowering our freq_max (to 8C-turbo and 12C-turbo on
80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA respectively) helps invariant
schedutil to get closer.
If we ignore active intel_pstate and focus on the comparison with baseline
alone, there are several instances of double-digit performance improvement.

gitsource 0.97 0.69 0.69 | 0.69 | 0.69
+------+
dbench is not very remarkable here, unless we notice how poorly active
intel_pstate is performing on 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA: 23% regression versus
non-invariant schedutil. We repeated that run getting consistent results. Out
of scope for the patch at hand, but deserving future investigation. Other than
that, we previously ran this campaign with Linux v5.0 and saw the patch doing
better on dbench a the time. We haven't checked closely and can only speculate
at this point.
On the NUMA boxes kernbench gets 10-15% improvements on average; we'll see in
the detailed tables that the gains concentrate on low process counts (lightly
loaded machines).
The test we call "gitsource" (running the git unit test suite, a long-running
single-threaded shell script) appears rather spectacular in this table (gains
of 30-50% depending on the machine). It is to be noted, however, that
gitsource has no adjustable parameters (such as the number of jobs in
kernbench, which we average over in order to get a single-number summary
score) and is exactly the kind of low-parallelism workload that benefits the
most from this patch. When looking at the detailed tables of kernbench or
tbench4, at low process or client counts one can see similar numbers.

This is one of the cases where the patch still can't surpass active
intel_pstate, not even when freq_max is as low as 12C-turbo. Otherwise, gains are
visible up to 16 clients and the saturated scenario is the same as baseline.
The scores in the summary table from the previous sections are ratios of
geometric means of the results over different clients, as seen in this table.

5.3.4 POWER CONSUMPTION, PERFORMANCE-PER-WATT
---------------------------------------------
The following table shows average power consumption in watt for each
benchmark. Data comes from turbostat (package average), which in turn is read
from the RAPL interface on CPUs. We know the patch affects CPU frequencies so
it's reasonable to ignore other power consumers (such as memory or I/O). Also,
we don't have a power meter available in the lab so RAPL is the best we have.
turbostat sampled average power every 10 seconds for the entire duration of
each benchmark. We took all those values and averaged them (i.e. with don't
have detail on a per-parameter granularity, only on whole benchmarks).

A lower power consumption isn't necessarily better, it depends on what is done
with that energy. Here are tables with the ratio of performance-per-watt on
each machine and benchmark. Higher is always better; a tilde (~) means a

These results are overall pleasing: in plenty of cases we observe
performance-per-watt improvements. The few regressions (read/write pgbench and
dbench on the Broadwell machine) are of small magnitude. kernbench loses a few
percentage points (it has a 10-15% performance improvement, but apparently the
increase in power consumption is larger than that). tbench4 and gitsource, which
benefit the most from the patch, keep a positive score in this table which is
a welcome surprise; that suggests that in those particular workloads the
non-invariant schedutil (and active intel_pstate, too) makes some rather
suboptimal frequency selections.

The patch addresses Xeon Core processors that use MSR_PLATFORM_INFO and
MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT to advertise their base frequency and turbo frequencies
respectively. This excludes the recent Xeon Scalable Performance processors
line (Xeon Gold, Platinum etc) whose MSRs have to be parsed differently.

Pull x86 apic updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Cleanup the apic IPI implementation by removing duplicated code and consolidating the functions into the APIC core. - Implement a safe variant of the IPI broadcast mode. Contrary to earlier attempts this uses the core tracking of which CPUs have been brought online at least once so that a broadcast does not end up in some dead end in BIOS/SMM code when the CPU is still waiting for init. Once all CPUs have been brought up once, IPI broadcasting is enabled. Before that regular one by one IPIs are issued. - Drop the paravirt CR8 related functions as they have no user anymore - Initialize the APIC TPR to block interrupt 16-31 as they are reserved for CPU exceptions and should never be raised by any well behaving device. - Emit a warning when vector space exhaustion breaks the admin set affinity of an interrupt. - Make sure to use the NMI fallback when shutdown via reboot vector IPI fails. The original code had conditions which prevent the code path to be reached. - Annotate various APIC config variables as RO after init.

x86/hotplug: Silence APIC and NMI when CPU is dead
In order to support IPI/NMI broadcasting via the shorthand mechanism side effects of shorthands need to be mitigated: Shorthand IPIs and NMIs hit all CPUs including unplugged CPUs Neither of those can be handled on unplugged CPUs for obvious reasons. It would be trivial to just fully disable the APIC via the enable bit in MSR_APICBASE. But that's not possible because clearing that bit on systems based on the 3 wire APIC bus would require a hardware reset to bring it back as the APIC would lose track of bus arbitration. On systems with FSB delivery APICBASE could be disabled, but it has to be guaranteed that no interrupt is sent to the APIC while in that state and it's not clear from the SDM whether it still responds to INIT/SIPI messages. Therefore stay on the safe side and switch the APIC into soft disabled mode so it won't deliver any regular vector to the CPU. NMIs are still propagated to the 'dead' CPUs. To mitigate that add a check for the CPU being offline on early nmi entry and if so bail. Note, this cannot use the stop/restart_nmi() magic which is used in the alternatives code. A dead CPU cannot invoke nmi_enter() or anything else due to RCU and other reasons.

x86/asm: Move native_write_cr0/4() out of line
The pinning of sensitive CR0 and CR4 bits caused a boot crash when loading the kvm_intel module on a kernel compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n. The reason is that the static key which controls the pinning is marked RO after init. The kvm_intel module contains a CR4 write which requires to update the static key entry list. That obviously does not work when the key is in a RO section. With CONFIG_PARAVIRT enabled this does not happen because the CR4 write uses the paravirt indirection and the actual write function is built in. As the key is intended to be immutable after init, move native_write_cr0/4() out of line. While at it consolidate the update of the cr4 shadow variable and store the value right away when the pinning is initialized on a booting CPU. No point in reading it back 20 instructions later. This allows to confine the static key and the pinning variable to cpu/common and allows to mark them static. Fixes: |

x86/asm: Pin sensitive CR4 bits
Several recent exploits have used direct calls to the native_write_cr4() function to disable SMEP and SMAP before then continuing their exploits using userspace memory access. Direct calls of this form can be mitigate by pinning bits of CR4 so that they cannot be changed through a common function. This is not intended to be a general ROP protection (which would require CFI to defend against properly), but rather a way to avoid trivial direct function calling (or CFI bypasses via a matching function prototype) as seen in: https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2017/05/exploiting-linux-kernel-via-packet.html (https://github.com/xairy/kernel-exploits/tree/master/CVE-2017-7308) The goals of this change: - Pin specific bits (SMEP, SMAP, and UMIP) when writing CR4. - Avoid setting the bits too early (they must become pinned only after CPU feature detection and selection has finished). - Pinning mask needs to be read-only during normal runtime. - Pinning needs to be checked after write to validate the cr4 state Using __ro_after_init on the mask is done so it can't be first disabled with a malicious write. Since these bits are global state (once established by the boot CPU and kernel boot parameters), they are safe to write to secondary CPUs before those CPUs have finished feature detection. As such, the bits are set at the first cr4 write, so that cr4 write bugs can be detected (instead of silently papered over). This uses a few bytes less storage of a location we don't have: read-only per-CPU data. A check is performed after the register write because an attack could just skip directly to the register write. Such a direct jump is possible because of how this function may be built by the compiler (especially due to the removal of frame pointers) where it doesn't add a stack frame (function exit may only be a retq without pops) which is sufficient for trivial exploitation like in the timer overwrites mentioned above). The asm argument constraints gain the "+" modifier to convince the compiler that it shouldn't make ordering assumptions about the arguments or memory, and treat them as changed.
