It looks like the rotate_necessary is only useful for cgroup and cpuctx.
Why not move it to struct perf_cpu_context and under #ifdef
CONFIG_CGROUP_PERF?
And rename it cgrp_rotate_necessary?

I am not sure I see the point here. What I'd like to see is a uniform
signal for rotation needed in per-task, per-cpu or per-cgroup modes.
Ian's patch does that. It does make it a lot more efficient in cgroup
mode, by avoiding unnecessary rotations, and does not alter/improve
on any of the other two modes.

I just thought if it is only used by cgroup, it may be better to move it
under #ifdef CONFIG_CGROUP_PERF. For users who don't care about cgroup,
it may save some space.
But if it's designed as a uniform signal, this is OK.

Thanks Kan,
I think you have a wider valid point that by specializing to the CPU
or task context the code could avoid work. Similarly, adding the state
to perf_event_context is limited overhead for non-cgroup builds that
could be optimized away by going back to "nr_active == nr_events". I
agree with Stephane that we should try to keep the code uniform for
the task and CPU case for consistency - and this is the state in the
patch.
Are there any blockers to getting this merged?

That looked odd; which had me look harder at this function which
resulted in the below. Should we not terminate the context interation

If we knew all the events were hardware events then this would be
true, as there may be software events that always schedule then the
continued iteration is necessary.

But this is the 'old' code, where this is guaranteed by the context.
That is, if this is a hardware context; there wil only be software
events due to them being in a group with hardware events.
If this is a software group, then we'll never fail to schedule and we'll
not get in this branch to begin with.
Or am I now confused for having been staring at two different code-bases
at the same time?

I believe you're right and I'd overlooked this. I think there is a
more efficient version of this code possible that I can follow up
with. There are 3 perf_event_contexts, potentially a sw and hw context
within the task_struct and one per-CPU in perf_cpu_context. With this
change I'm focussed on improving rotation of cgroup events that appear
system wide within the per-CPU context. Without cgroup events the
system wide events don't need to be iterated over during scheduling
in. The branch that can set rotate_necessary will only be necessary
for the task hardware events. For system wide events, considered with
cgroup mode scheduling in, the branch is necessary as rotation may be
necessary. It'd be possible to have variants of flexible_sched_in that
behave differently in the task software event context, and the system
wide and task hardware contexts.
I have a series of patches related to Kan Liang's cgroup
perf_event_groups improvements. I'll mail these out and see if I can
avoid the branch in the task software event context case.
Thanks,
Ian

Hi,
We are seeing regression with our uncore perf driver(Marvell's
ThunderX2, ARM64 server platform) on 5.3-Rc1.
After bisecting, it turned out to be this patch causing the issue.
Test case:
Load module and run perf for more than 4 events( we have 4 counters,
event multiplexing takes place for more than 4 events), then unload
module.
With this sequence of testing, the system hangs(soft lockup) after 2
or 3 iterations. Same test runs for hours on 5.2.
while [ 1 ]
do
rmmod thunderx2_pmu
modprobe thunderx2_pmu
perf stat -a -e \
uncore_dmc_0/cnt_cycles/,\
uncore_dmc_0/data_transfers/,\
uncore_dmc_0/read_txns/,\
uncore_dmc_0/config=0xE/,\
uncore_dmc_0/write_txns/ sleep 1
sleep 2
done
Is this patch tested adequately?

Funnily enough; the email you replied to didn't contain a patch.

Can you reproduce without the module load+unload? I don't think people
routinely unload modules.

Your email is in a random spot of the discussion for me. At least it was
fairly easy to find the related patch.

Does the softlockup give a useful stacktrace? I don't have a thunderx2
so I cannot reproduce.

Sorry for the late reply, below is the dump that i am getting, when i
hit the softlockup.
Any suggestions to debug this further?
sequence of commands, which leads to this lockup,
insmod thunderx2_pmu.ko
perf stat -e \
uncore_dmc_0/cnt_cycles/,\
uncore_dmc_0/data_transfers/,\
uncore_dmc_0/read_txns/,\
uncore_dmc_0/config=0xE/,\
uncore_dmc_0/write_txns/\
rmmod thunderx2_pmu
insmod thunderx2_pmu.ko

I am able to see same system lockup on Intel xeon machine as well, if
i do same sequence of commands.
If i run for 4 events, which will not kick-in event multiplexing and
no issues seen.
If i try with more than 4 events, which leads to event multiplexing
and softlockup happens.

perf/cgroups: Don't rotate events for cgroups unnecessarily
Currently perf_rotate_context assumes that if the context's nr_events !=
nr_active a rotation is necessary for perf event multiplexing. With
cgroups, nr_events is the total count of events for all cgroups and
nr_active will not include events in a cgroup other than the current
task's. This makes rotation appear necessary for cgroups when it is not.
Add a perf_event_context flag that is set when rotation is necessary.
Clear the flag during sched_out and set it when a flexible sched_in
fails due to resources.
