v4.18-rc1 on droid 4: very bad CPU performance

Hi!

V4.18 is slower than it should be.

user@devuan:~$ time cat /dev/urandom | head -c 10000000 |  bzip2 -9 -
| wc -c
10044291
52.73user 2.40system 61.53 (1m1.534s) elapsed 89.60%CPU
user@devuan:~$ uname -a
Linux devuan 4.18.0-rc1-87964-gfa19934-dirty #743 SMP Sun Jun 17
19:26:37 CEST 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

That bzip should take 12 seconds, not minute.

Any ideas? Do you see it, too?

Best regards,

Hmm not happening for me at least on duovero and droid4,
I'm getting about 20s for v4.17 and v4.18-rc1.

Something weird is going on here. My notes say it should be 12
seconds.

It is indeed 20 seconds for v4.17, but it is 12 seconds in v4.14.

v4.14 is:
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is not set
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_LADDER is not set
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_MENU=y
# CONFIG_ARM_CPUIDLE is not set

In v4.18, I have:

CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ATTR_SET=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_COMMON=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_ONDEMAND=y

CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_MENU=y
CONFIG_ARCH_NEEDS_CPU_IDLE_COUPLED=y

I gave it a quick try here with v4.14 and it was 21 seconds
on 4430 duovero. But this was with omap2plus_defconfig.

Weird. In v4.18 I seen times from 57 seconds to 27 seconds to 20
seconds. It seems to be consistent after boot.

v4.14 is fast... 12 second. v4.15 (all-v4.15 branch) -- no
boot. all-v4.16 -- 15.7 seconds. all-v4.18 with "all" config: time
varies (20, 24, 27, 57 seconds). all-v4.18 with "droid4" config: 20
seconds.

What needs to be done to get cpufreq to work? One of my hypothesis is
that cpu is running at wrong rate. I have it enabled in config, but no
luck:

user@devuan:~$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CPU_FREQ

Ok, so I was able to create .config where bzip2 takes 12 seconds, on
v4.18...

In my normal config, it takes between 20 seconds and minute. Numbers
seem to be stable between boots.

In "fast" config:
processor  : 1
model name : ARMv7 Processor rev 3 (v7l)
BogoMIPS   : 2393.70
Features   : half thumb fastmult vfp edsp thumbee neon vfpv3 tls
vfpd32
CPU implementer	: 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant	  : 0x1
CPU part	  : 0xc09
CPU revision	  : 3

12 to 20 seconds is .. pretty significant slowdown. Is it possible
that "fast" config misses errata workaround with impact this
significant?

Okay, so I know what was wrong with my config. I had l2cache disabled
-- and this solved it:

+CONFIG_OUTER_CACHE=y
+CONFIG_OUTER_CACHE_SYNC=y
+CONFIG_CACHE_L2X0=y
+CONFIG_PL310_ERRATA_588369=y
+CONFIG_PL310_ERRATA_727915=y
+CONFIG_PL310_ERRATA_753970=y
+CONFIG_PL310_ERRATA_769419=y

Now I'm at 12 seconds.

user@devuan:~$ time cat /dev/urandom | head -c 10000000 |  bzip2 -9 - | wc -c

user@devuan:~$

I was about to add "facepalm" emoji here, as disabling l2 cache is
major mistake. OTOH if you also see 20 seconds, then either there is
another problem, or you need to enable l2 cache, too (and I don't have
to feel too bad for misconfiguring it).

We have these in omap2plus_defconfig.

These two should not be needed from what I recall. Have not
checked against processor revisions or errata though. But
I verified that my duovero time stays at 21 seconds also
with these enabled. It seems to run at 600MHz so it's slower
compared to droid4.

OK. I checked and duovero runs only at 600MHz. I can only
get down to 19 seconds with omap2plus_defconfig if I disable
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ so the max speed is maintained from bootloader.
Otherwise it runs at most at 1GHz, I think any higher speeds
need smartreflex and voltage scaling working which we don't
have in the mainline kernel. Not sure what happens with higher
speeds with mainline kernel or if they are unsafe in the long
run.

Anyways, care to post your .config somewhere so I can see what
the numbers are for me with it?

I'm attaching config I'm using for v4.18. In current boot, bzip2 takes
16 seconds.

user@devuan:~$ time cat /dev/urandom | head -c 10000000 |  sudo nice

10044705
15.68user 0.53system 15.93 (0m15.931s) elapsed 101.82%CPU

I guess I should go back to v4.17 to get 12 seconds..?!

v4.18-rc1 on droid 4: very bad CPU performance

I'm attaching config I'm using for v4.18. In current boot, bzip2 takes
16 seconds.

user at devuan:~$ time cat /dev/urandom | head -c 10000000 |  sudo nice
-n -19 bzip2 -9 - | wc -c
10044705
15.68user 0.53system 15.93 (0m15.931s) elapsed 101.82%CPU

I guess I should go back to v4.17 to get 12 seconds..?!

Confused,
									Pavel

After reboot (same config as in previous mail), before x / ofono /
unicsy_demo /... were started:

user@devuan:~$ uname -a
