Current psr.c is designed for supporting L3 CAT/CDP. It has many
limitations to add new feature. Considering to support more PSR
features, we need refactor PSR implementation to make it more
flexible and fulfill the principle, open for extension but closed
for modification.

The core of the refactoring is to abstract the common actions and
encapsulate them into "struct feat_ops". The detailed steps to add
a new feature are described at the head of psr.c.

For a "compare" function I'd expect a word on the meaning of the
return value, and I'd expect most if not all pointer parameters to
be pointers to const.

Also plain bool please.

DYM mean "get_cos_max_from_type()"?

According to the comment this is kind of a predicate, which seems
unlikely to return an unsigned value. In fact without a word on the
return value I'd expect such to return bool. And I'd also expect the
name to reflect the purpose, i.e. "exceeds_name()". Plus just like
for compare above I wonder whether come or all of the parameters
should be pointers to const (please go over the entire patch and do
constification wherever possible/sensible).

This is a single line comment.

> +                     struct feat_list *pFeat);

Such write operations don't normally alter the value to be written.
If that's different here, that's perhaps worth a word in the comment.
If it isn't, then I don't see why the address of the value gets passed
instead of the value itself.

Oh, having gone further in the patch I see this is to update multiple
MSRs. I guess this would best be reflected by making the parameter
const uint64_t masks[] (albeit it's also not clear to me why this
necessarily have to be masks kind items, and not just arbitrary
values - proper choice of variable and parameter names helps the
understanding).

Are these numbers arbitrary, or based on something?

I've yet to see whether the "alloc" in the name really makes sense.

Why does info->pFeat not get freed here?

DYM BUILD_BUG_ON()? Also the MAX_FEAT_INFO_SIZE dimensioned
array is one with unsigned int as the base type, which doesn't get
reflected here.

Does this need to be set_bit(), or would __set_bit() suffice? Also
there are many cases of this strange &() construct - the
parentheses are pointless there.

A few lines up you set this bit, and now you clear it again. Please
instead set it in an else branch below.

Aforementioned BUILD_BUG_ON() would probably bets be placed
right ahead of this memcpy().

Already here I think this memcpy()ing gets unwieldy. Can't you
simply make the structure field a union of all types of interest?

Please either combine the two if()s into a single switch() (with
appropriate fall through behavior) or, perhaps better, move
this second if() - suitably shrunk - past the following one. This is
to avoid redundant code, which makes things more difficult to
follow.

Across the entire function - wouldn't it be easier to range check
old_cos once up front, forcing it to zero if the check fails? That
would reduce code size to a better readable amount. (And just to
avoid any misunderstanding - comments like this also may apply
to other functions; I'm not going to repeat them there.)

Also note that there are undue double blanks in here.

This overwriting behavior also looks quite strange to me. What's
the purpose? And if this really is meant to be that way, why is
this not (leaving aside the other suggested adjustment)

    if ( type == PSR_MASK_TYPE_L3_CBM )
        mask[0] = m;
    else if ( old_cos > cat_info.cos_max )
        mask[0] = pFeat->cos_reg_val[0];
    else
        mask[0] = pFeat->cos_reg_val[old_cos];

?

The latest here it becomes clear that you want to use switch()
much more widely.

What's the point of moving the variable declaration? Quite the
other way around, the new variable you add could - afaict - all
live in this more narrow scope. And info could presumably become
a pointer to const.

Considering that this is one of the generic ops: What guarantees
that 3 elements will suffice going forward? I.e. why is this not an
array?

Earlier on you used (slightly oddly arranged) checks against NULL.
Please be consistent (and I'd prefer if you used ! across the board).

With this - what ensures the array isn't going to be overrun?

And I'm also having some difficulty seeing how an array of outputs
matches up with exactly one input (m). Can you explain this please?

Why don't you return "ret" here?

Please do once (at the appropriate place inside the outer loop) what
you have done prior to the loop and repeat here. As already alluded
to - limiting the scope of variables also helps ensuring that things
work as intended.

Again a questionable log message with a questionable use of __func__.
In any case log messages should normally not have a full stop at their

DYM "like"? And what do you want to say with this comment?

Perhaps it's related to the doubling of nr_feat here? If so - what
precludes another future feature to require 3 or 4 slots per element?
I think this needs abstracting out, now that you create an abstract
framework.

I don't think setting mask to NULL right ahead of a return statement
is very helpful.

You check the allocation result in internal_cpu_prepare() - can you
really get here with this being NULL? If you can't, drop the if() (or
make it an ASSERT()).

This function can return without having consumed pTmp, which means
you'd leak the memory in that case.

What's the point of this dummy list element?

How would the reader of the log easily associate such a message
with something having gone wrong in PSR initialization?

This is redundant with the use of xzalloc().

Why is everything ahead of this call not part of that function?

The enum tag is now too generic a name - please make this
psr_mask_type or something similar.

Do you mean the comments are not accurate? How about below description?

get_old_set_new will traverse all features in list. It is used to do below two
things:
1. get old_cos register value of all supported features and
2. set the new value for appointed feature.

All the values are set into mask array according the traversal order, meaning
the same order of feature list members.

For example, old_cos of the domain is 1. User wants to set L3 CAT CBM to 0x1ff.
The original COS registers like below.

        -----------------------
        | COS 0 | COS 1 | ... |
        -----------------------
L3 CAT  | 0x7ff | 0x3ff | ... |
        -----------------------
L2 CAT  | 0xff  | 0x3f  | ... |
        -----------------------

Then, mask array should be:
mask[0]: 0x1ff
mask[1]: 0x3f

Then, we can use this mask array to find if there is matching COS through
compare_mask().

Yes, you are right. I will change the function type to bool and add const
for not changed input pointers.

This function is used to check if the input cos id exceeds the cos_max. If yes
and the set value is not default value, we should return error. So, I think
to change the function name to exceed_cos_max(). How do you think?

MAX_FEAT_INFO_SIZE is got from the sizeof(struct psr_cat_lvl_info) and
consider the extension for future feature.

MAX_COS_REG_NUM is got from spec that the max COS registers number is 128
for all PSR features so far.

It seems xen list interfaces require the input list be a double linked list but
my list is a single linked list. Furthermore, I only need simple add to tail
function and free function. So I create custom list management functions.

The info->pFeat is a redundant list head to facilitate list operations.
It is only freed when socket info is freed.

With this list head, the advantage is that we can insert/delete the first
element same as others without special operations.

I will use BUILD_BUG_ON() for the error case.

As my explanation for MAX_FEAT_INFO_SIZE above, it reflects a size more
than struct psr_cat_lvl_info. So, if MAX_FEAT_INFO_SIZE is bigger than the
sizeof(struct psr_cat_lvl_info), the following operations on feat_info[]
should be good.

This is inherited from original codes. After checking codes, I think this can
be replaced by non-atomic operation __set_bit(). Thanks!

Will remove unnecessary parentheses.

Can we call BUILD_BUG_ON() at the top of the function to avoid executing above

Sorry that I am not very clear about your meaning to make a union. Do you mean
make feat_info a union? If so, it will lose the universality to cover all
features. Future feature may have different info.

I think I can replace the memcpy() to directly assign value to cat_info.

CDP occupies 2 members in mask[] array. So, it returns 2 to make codes outside
the function to skip to next feature's mask value.

get_old_set_new() is used to do below two things:
1. get old_cos register value of all supported features and
2. set the new value for appointed feature.

So, if the appointed feature is L3 CAT, we should set input vallue for it here.

Good point. I consider this too. Per all features we know, three parameters
are sufficient. To simplify codes, I write the function like this. I think
we can make change if future feature has more requirements.

If you like to get things done one time, I will make change.

It seems you missed one line below. The while() loop traverse all features in
list. It will exit when the last member has been accessed.

+        pTmp = pTmp->pNext;

> 
This while loop will traverse all features in list. It will get all features
old_cos value back. If the feature is the one to set new value, the input
new value (m) will replace the old_cos value. All the value are set into mask
array according the traversal order, meaning the same order of feature list
members, like L3 CAT as the first and L2 CAT as the second.

For example, old_cos of the domain is 1. User wants to set L3 CAT CBM to 0x1ff.
The original COS registers like below.

        -----------------------
        | COS 0 | COS 1 | ... |
        -----------------------
L3 CAT  | 0x7ff | 0x3ff | ... |
        -----------------------
L2 CAT  | 0xff  | 0x3f  | ... |
        -----------------------

Then, mask array should be:
mask[0]: 0x1ff
mask[1]: 0x3f

Then, we can use this mask array to find if there is matching COS through
compare_mask().

Yes, "like" should be. CDP needs occupy two members in mask array. So, I

Yes, right, this is by design. pL3CAT/pL2CAT are allocated in
internal_cpu_prepare(). If this CPU does not support L2 CAT for example, the
pL2CAT will not be added into feature list. But when CPU on other socket up,
internal_cpu_prepare() will be called again and the pL2CAT will not be
allocated again (check if it is NULL). We can use the buffer has been allocated.
That means we maintain one redundant buffer to simplify the codes.

The pFeat is a redundant list head to facilitate list operations.
With this list head, the advantage is that we can insert/delete the first
element same as others without special operations.

The original purpose is to make internal_cpu_init() be simpler. After
considering it again, move these codes into the function may be better.

Sounds reasonable. I suppose the example that you gave right

Okay, except that I continue to think you mean "exceeds".
"exceed_cos_max" to me is kind of a directive, not a predicate.

In that case please use that sizeof() in the expression here.

"So far" makes me still wonder: Is this an architectural limit or one
resulting from current (hardware) implementations. In the former
case I don't think a comment is strictly needed, but in the latter
case the choice should be explained.

And btw., having seen the entire patch I don't think this alloc_ infix

Unless there's a strong need, I'd like you to go with what is there,
or introduce _generic_ singly linked list management.

But it results in less obvious code (and a basically pointless extra
allocation). One more reason to use generic list management
primitives.

In fact the BUILD_BUG_ON() may not be needed if you follow the

Well, the purpose of BUILD_BUG_ON() is what its name implies: It
fails the _build_ if violated, so execution can't possibly come here
(or in fact anywhere) in that case.

Which is the purpose of a union - you'd simply add a new member
then.

No, this copying (done in _many_ places) really should go away.

I guess that's going to be understandable once the return values
of the hooks get properly explained in their comments.

No.

Okay, that answers the "what" aspect, but leaves open _why_ it
needs to be that way.

If you introduce an abstraction layer, you should design it with
abstract requirements in mind, not with the requirements of
currently known implementations.

No, I didn't miss any line. I'm asking because there's nothing but
programmer discipline keeping array size and list length match up.
That's fragile.

This gets us back to the question of _why_ you need this "get all but
set only one" functionality. Plus, wasn't it that CDP requires two
values per feature?

The static keyword already says it's an internal one.

I hope not. You shouldn't design in memory leaks.

I don't think that's the case - pL3CAT gets set to NULL further up. But
with you switching to generic list management, this bogus extra list
element will go away anyway, and so will the extra allocation.

I guess your idea likes below. Right?
union {
    struct l3_info {
        union {
            uint64_t cbm;
            struct {
                uint64_t code;
                uint64_t data;
            };
        };

    };

    struct l2_info {
        uint64_t cbm;
    };
};
 
My original design is to use this feat_info cover all features and eliminate
the feature's specific properties. If using above union, we still need to
know the current feature is which when handles feat_info. That loses the
abstraction.

If my thought is not right, please correct me. Thanks!

I want to replace memcpy() to below codes.
cat_info.cbm_len = feat_info[0];

A scenario here to help to understand _why_. 

Like the example for explaining get_old_set_new(), old_cos of the domain is 1.
Then, User wants to set L3 CAT CBM to 0x1ff and L2 CAT 0x3f. The original
COS registers like below.

        -------------------------------
        | COS 0 | COS 1 | COS 2 | ... |
        -------------------------------
L3 CAT  | 0x7ff | 0x3ff | 0x1ff | ... |
        -------------------------------
L2 CAT  | 0xff  | 0x3f  | 0x3f  | ... |
        -------------------------------

Then, mask array should be assembled in get_old_set_new() like below:
mask[0]: 0x1ff
mask[1]: 0x3f

Then, we can use this mask array to find if there is matching COS through
compare_mask(). We can find COS 2 is the matching one. 

If there is already a COS registers combination (e.g. L3 COS 2 and L2 COS 2)
same as the mask array, we can reuse this combination directly but not to
allocate a new COS ID. By this way, we can save the COS registers. You know,
there is limitation on COS registers number.

Of course, if we cannot find it in existing combinations, we will call
alloc_new_cos() to allocate a new COS to use.

Please check above comment about "_why_".

After operation in get_old_set_new(), CDP occupies two elements of mask array.

Yes, I did not figure out a better function name so I used 'internal'. Will
consider another one if you think this is not appropriate.

Yes, you are right. For above scenario I described, pL3CAT will be allocated
again because it has been added into feature list and set to NULL. Finally,
it will be freed in free_feature(). So, pL3CAT is not a memory leak.

I am trying to explain the memory leak case, pL2CAT. Because CPU on socket0
does not support L2 CAT, it is not added into feature list and not set to
NULL. But if CPU on socket1 up and it supports L2 CAT, the pL2CAT allocated
before can be used directly without allocating a new buffer. Of course, if
there is no such case, e.g. all CPUs only support L3 CAT, the pL2CAT is leaked.

Per your suggestion that not allowing any memory leak, I will free it in
free_feature().

I don't understand what abstraction you would lose with the above

horrible.

And again do that in a dozen places? No, please don't.

I think I begin to see the purpose, but then again I still can't get
this explanation in line with there just being a single new value to
be set (m). Perhaps it would help if you split the lookup from the
setting or a new value.

Sorry to make you feel bad. I will avoid to use memcpy() in the codes.

I think I have got your mean. I will construct a union for feat_info in next
version. Different features can use different members in union. Then, I can
directly assign the struct value without memcpy. Thanks for the guidance!

Sure, let me introduce it from beginning.

First time, user wants to set L3 CAT of Dom1 to 0x1ff for example. The old_cos
of Dom1 is 0. L3 CAT is the first element of feature list. The COS registers
values are below at this time.

        -------------------------------
        | COS 0 | COS 1 | COS 2 | ... |
        -------------------------------
L3 CAT  | 0x7ff | ...   | ...   | ... |
        -------------------------------
L2 CAT  | 0xff  | ...   | ...   | ... |
        -------------------------------

The mask array assembled in get_old_set_new() is:
mask[0]: 0x1ff
mask[1]: 0xff

It cannot find a matching COS so allocate COS 1 to store the value set.
The COS registers values are changed to below now.

        -------------------------------
        | COS 0 | COS 1 | COS 2 | ... |
        -------------------------------
L3 CAT  | 0x7ff | 0x1ff | ...   | ... |
        -------------------------------
L2 CAT  | 0xff  | 0xff  | ...   | ... |
        -------------------------------

Then, user wants to set L3 CAT of Dom2 to 0x1ff too. The old_cos of Dom2
is 0 too.

The mask array assembled in get_old_set_new() is:
mask[0]: 0x1ff
mask[1]: 0xff

So, it can find a matching COS, COS 1. Then, it can reuse COS 1 for Dom2.

According to my knowledge of English this would still need to be
"check_exceeds_cos_max", and then the check ends up being quite
redundant.

You shouldn't need to do such assignments in the vast majority of
places you do the memcpy()ing in right now. (And don't forget,
structure assignment in the end is only a type safe variant of
memcpy().)

So the lookup is then to find an entry with all current values except
for the one intended to be changed. If that's a correct understanding
of mine, then I think the primitives should be more primitive, making
the overall operation
1) get all current values into an array,
2) update the one array slot that's meant to get changed,
3) look for matching entries,
4) allocate new entry if none found.
And with that I'm then not even sure how many of these steps
actually need hooks, as most if not all of this looks pretty
independent of the aspects of the specific CAT variant. Hooks
should be introduced solely for cases where behavior necessarily
differs between variants.

In the hope of helping to end this subthread: I'm a native speaker of

By analyzing the behaviors and requirements of different CAT features, I
divide COS find/allocate process to three steps.
1) get_old_set_new(): get all current values into an array and the value of
the changed feature is replaced by the input value(m). Here, you get an array
which contains all features old value and the new value for changed feature.
2) find_cos(): find if there is a matching COS combination which can match
the input array.
3) alloc_new_cos(): if find_cos() cannot find a matching one, allocate a new
COS id or reuse the one which is only occupied by current domain.

So, our ideas are almost same. Only one exception to split get_old_set_new()
function into two parts. That increases one loop to traverse all features and
most features "set new value" callback functions will return directly because
the type cannot match. And, I think to put value array assembling work into one
function is reasonable. What do you think? Thanks!

How many iterations do you expect these loops to have? If it's only
a few, I think the simpler and more clear abstraction would outweigh
the performance benefits, the more that I hope none of this ends up
sitting on a performance critical path in the first place.

So far, only two features and it would not be so many in the future. :)

Will add more callback function to set new value. Thanks!
