Both ACPI and DT provide the ability to describe additional layers of
topology between that of individual cores and higher level constructs
such as the level at which the last level cache is shared.
In ACPI this can be represented in PPTT as a Processor Hierarchy
Node Structure [1] that is the parent of the CPU cores and in turn
has a parent Processor Hierarchy Nodes Structure representing
a higher level of topology.
For example Kunpeng 920 has 6 or 8 clusters in each NUMA node, and each
cluster has 4 cpus. All clusters share L3 cache data, but each cluster
has local L3 tag. On the other hand, each clusters will share some
internal system bus.

That means the cost to transfer ownership of a cacheline between CPUs
within a cluster is lower than between CPUs in different clusters on
the same die. Hence, it can make sense to tell the scheduler to use
the cache affinity of the cluster to make better decision on thread
migration.
This patch simply exposes this information to userspace libraries
like hwloc by providing cluster_cpus and related sysfs attributes.
PoC of HWLOC support at [2].
Note this patch only handle the ACPI case.
Special consideration is needed for SMT processors, where it is
necessary to move 2 levels up the hierarchy from the leaf nodes
(thus skipping the processor core level).
Currently the ID provided is the offset of the Processor
Hierarchy Nodes Structure within PPTT. Whilst this is unique
it is not terribly elegant so alternative suggestions welcome.
Note that arm64 / ACPI does not provide any means of identifying
a die level in the topology but that may be unrelate to the cluster
level.

Why are these sysfs files in this file, and not in a Documentation/ABI/
file which can be correctly parsed and shown to userspace?
Any chance you can fix that up here as well?
Also note that "list" is not something that goes in sysfs, sysfs is "one
value per file", and a list is not "one value". How do you prevent
overflowing the buffer of the sysfs file if you have a "list"?
thanks,

Well. Those ABIs have been there for much a long time. It is like:
[root@ceph1 topology]# ls
core_id core_siblings core_siblings_list physical_package_id thread_siblings thread_siblings_list
[root@ceph1 topology]# pwd
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu100/topology
[root@ceph1 topology]# cat core_siblings_list
64-127
[root@ceph1 topology]#

Yes. we will send a separate patch to address this, which won't
be in this patchset. This patchset will base on that one.

At a glance, the list is using "-" rather than a real list
[root@ceph1 topology]# cat core_siblings_list
64-127
Anyway, I will take a look if it has any chance to overflow.

It could in theory be alternate CPUs as comma separated list.
So it's would get interesting around 500-1000 cpus (guessing).
Hopefully no one has that crazy a cpu numbering scheme but it's possible
(note that cluster is fine for this, but I guess it might eventually
happen for core-siblings list (cpus within a package).
Shouldn't crash or anything like that but might terminate early.
On sysfs file conversion, that got mentioned earlier but I forgot
to remind Barry about it when he took this patch into his series.
Sorry about that!

We have a broken sysfs api already for listing LED numbers that has had
to be worked around in the past, please do not create a new one with
that same problem, we should learn from them :)

Another place I am seeing a cpu list is in numa topology:
/sys/devices/system/node/nodex/cpulist.
But the code has a BUILD_BUG_ON to guard the pagebuf:
static ssize_t node_read_cpumap(struct device *dev, bool list, char *buf)
{
ssize_t n;
cpumask_var_t mask;
struct node *node_dev = to_node(dev);
/* 2008/04/07: buf currently PAGE_SIZE, need 9 chars per 32 bits. */
BUILD_BUG_ON((NR_CPUS/32 * 9) > (PAGE_SIZE-1));
if (!alloc_cpumask_var(&mask, GFP_KERNEL))
return 0;
cpumask_and(mask, cpumask_of_node(node_dev->dev.id), cpu_online_mask);
n = cpumap_print_to_pagebuf(list, buf, mask);
free_cpumask_var(mask);
return n;
}
For lists in cpu topology, I haven't seen this while I believe we need it.
Or am I missing something?

I would prefer we send two patches as a series
"clarify and cleanup CPU and NUMA topology ABIs" with a cover
letter and the below one as 1/2. 2/2 would be the patch moving
the place of cpu topology ABI doc.
From b32c0c00a187d4fe4c49d54d30650b0cacb2c351 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] CPU, NUMA topology ABIs: clarify the overflow issue of sysfs
pagebuf
Both numa node and cpu use cpu bitmap like 3,ffffffff to expose hardware
topology. When cpu number is large, the page buffer of sysfs will over-
flow. This doesn't really happen nowadays as the maximum NR_CPUS is 8196
for X86_64 and 4096 for ARM64 since 8196 * 9 / 32 = 2305 is still smaller
than 4KB page size.
So the existing BUILD_BUG_ON() in drivers/base/node.c is pretty much
preventing future problems similar with Y2K when hardware gets more
and more CPUs.
On the other hand, it should be more sensible to move the guard to common
code which can protect both cpu and numa:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/die_cpus etc.
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpumap etc.
Topology bitmap mask strings shouldn't be larger than PAGE_SIZE as
lstopo and numactl depend on them. But other ABIs exposing cpu lists
are not really used by common applications, so this patch also marks
those lists could be trimmed as there is no any guarantee those lists
are always less than PAGE_SIZE especially a list could be like this:
0, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11... etc.

ARM64 chip Kunpeng 920 has 6 or 8 clusters in each NUMA node, and each
cluster has 4 cpus. All clusters share L3 cache data, but each cluster
has local L3 tag. On the other hand, each clusters will share some
internal system bus. This means cache coherence overhead inside one
cluster is much less than the overhead across clusters.
This patch adds the sched_domain for clusters. On kunpeng 920, without
this patch, domain0 of cpu0 would be MC with cpu0~cpu23 with ; with this
patch, MC becomes domain1, a new domain0 "CLS" including cpu0-cpu3.
This will help spread unrelated tasks among clusters, thus decrease the
contention and improve the throughput, for example, stream benchmark can
improve 20%+ while parallelism is 6 and improve around 5% while paralle-
lism is 12:
(1) -P <parallelism> 6

STREAM triad latency: 3.16 nanoseconds

On the other hand,stream result could change significantly during different
tests without the patch, eg:
a.
STREAM copy latency: 2.16 nanoseconds
STREAM copy bandwidth: 44448.45 MB/sec
STREAM scale latency: 2.17 nanoseconds

Obviously it is because the 6 threads are put randomly in 6 cores. Sometimes
they are packed in clusters, sometimes they are spread widely.

To evaluate the performance impact to related tasks talking with each
other, we run the below hackbench with different -g parameter from 2
to 14, for each different g, we run the command 10 times and get the
average time:
$ numactl -N 0 hackbench -p -T -l 20000 -g $1
hackbench will report the time which is needed to complete a certain number
of messages transmissions between a certain number of tasks, for example:
$ numactl -N 0 hackbench -p -T -l 20000 -g 10
Running in threaded mode with 10 groups using 40 file descriptors each
(== 400 tasks)
Each sender will pass 20000 messages of 100 bytes
The below is the result of hackbench w/ and w/o the patch:
g= 2 4 6 8 10 12 14
w/o: 1.8151 3.8499 5.5142 7.2491 9.0340 10.7345 12.0929
w/ : 1.8396 3.8250 5.4780 7.3442 9.0172 10.5950 11.9113
Obviously this patch doesn't impact hackbench too much.

On kunpeng920, cpus within one cluster can communicate wit each other
much faster than cpus across different clusters. A simple hackbench
can prove that.
hackbench running on 4 cpus in single one cluster and 4 cpus in
different clusters shows a large contrast:
(1) within a cluster:
root@ubuntu:~# taskset -c 0,1,2,3 hackbench -p -T -l 20000 -g 1
Running in threaded mode with 1 groups using 40 file descriptors each
(== 40 tasks)
Each sender will pass 20000 messages of 100 bytes
Time: 4.285
(2) across clusters:
root@ubuntu:~# taskset -c 0,4,8,12 hackbench -p -T -l 20000 -g 1
Running in threaded mode with 1 groups using 40 file descriptors each
(== 40 tasks)
Each sender will pass 20000 messages of 100 bytes
Time: 5.524
This inspires us to change the wake_affine path to scan cluster before
scanning the whole LLC to try to gatter related tasks in one cluster,
which is done by this patch.
To evaluate the performance impact to related tasks talking with each
other, we run the below hackbench with different -g parameter from 2
to 14, for each different g, we run the command 10 times and get the
average time:
$ numactl -N 0 hackbench -p -T -l 20000 -g $1
hackbench will report the time which is needed to complete a certain number
of messages transmissions between a certain number of tasks, for example:
$ numactl -N 0 hackbench -p -T -l 20000 -g 10
Running in threaded mode with 10 groups using 40 file descriptors each
(== 400 tasks)
Each sender will pass 20000 messages of 100 bytes
The below is the result of hackbench w/ and w/o cluster patch:
g= 2 4 6 8 10 12 14
w/o: 1.8151 3.8499 5.5142 7.2491 9.0340 10.7345 12.0929
w/ : 1.7881 3.7371 5.3301 6.9747 8.6909 9.9235 11.2608
Obviously some recent commits have improved the hackbench. So the change
in wake_affine path brings less increase on hackbench compared to what
we got in RFC v4.
And obviously it is much more tricky to leverage wake_affine compared to
leveraging the scatter of tasks in the previous patch as load balance
might pull tasks which have been compact in a cluster so alternative
suggestions welcome.
In order to figure out how many times cpu is picked from the cluster and
how many times cpu is picked out of the cluster, a tracepoint for debug
purpose is added in this patch. And an userspace bcc script to print the
histogram of the result of select_idle_cpu():
#!/usr/bin/python
#
# selectidlecpu.py select idle cpu histogram.
#
# A Ctrl-C will print the gathered histogram then exit.
#
# 18-March-2021 Barry Song Created this.

{
u32 e;
if (args->idle / 4 == args->target/4)
e = 0; /* idle cpu from same cluster */

e = 1; /* idle cpu from different clusters */
else
e = 2; /* no idle cpu */
dist.increment(e);
return 0;

except KeyboardInterrupt:

# output
print("\nlinear histogram")
print("~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~")
b["dist"].print_linear_hist("idle")
Even while g=14 and the system is quite busy, we can see there are some
chances idle cpu is picked from local cluster:
linear histogram

Oops here, as -1/4 = 1/4 = 2/4 = 3/4 = 0
So a part of -1 is put here(local cluster) incorrectly.

Fixed it to:
TRACEPOINT_PROBE(sched, sched_select_idle_cpu)
{
u32 e;
if (args->idle == -1)
e = 2; /* no idle cpu */
else if (args->idle / 4 == args->target / 4)

After fixing the script, the new histogram is like:
linear histogram
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
idle : count distribution
0 : 2765930 |* |
1 : 68934 | |
2 : 77667475 |****************************************|
We get

-1(no idle before nr becomes 0): 96.4785%

BTW, if I return -1 here directly and don't fall back to LLC, I
can even get a better benchmark:
g= 2 4 6 8 10 12 14
w/o: 1.8151 3.8499 5.5142 7.2491 9.0340 10.7345 12.0929
w/ : 1.7881 3.7371 5.3301 6.9747 8.6909 9.9235 11.2608
return -1: 1.8324 3.6140 5.1029 6.5016 8.1867 9.7559 10.7716
so it seems the wake-up path change is much more trivial to
get a real and good impact, comparing to the previous 2/4
patch in which we are only spreading tasks.

From: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>
There are x86 CPU architectures (e.g. Jacobsville) where L2 cahce
is shared among a cluster of cores instead of being exclusive
to one single core.
To prevent oversubscription of L2 cache, load should be
balanced between such L2 clusters, especially for tasks with
no shared data.
Also with cluster scheduling policy where tasks are woken up
in the same L2 cluster, we will benefit from keeping tasks
related to each other and likely sharing data in the same L2
cluster.
Add CPU masks of CPUs sharing the L2 cache so we can build such
L2 cluster scheduler domain.

This chunk will also need to be added to return cluster id for x86.
Please add it in your next rev.

Yes. Thanks. I'll put this in either RFC v7 or Patch v1.
For spreading path, things are much easier, though packing path is
quite tricky. But It seems RFC v6 has been quite close to what we want
to achieve to pack related tasks by scanning cluster for tasks within
same NUMA:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210420001844.9116-1-song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com/
If couples have been already in same LLC(numa), scanning clusters will
gather them further. If they are running in different NUMA nodes, the
original scanning LLC will move them to the same node, after that,
scanning cluster might put them closer to each other.
it seems it is kind of the two-level packing Dietmar has suggested.
So perhaps we won't have RFC v7, I will probably send patch v1 afterwards.

Hi Tim,
You might want to take a look at this qemu patchset:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20210331095343.12172-1-wangyanan55@huawei.com/T/#t
someone is trying to leverage this cluster topology
to improve KVM virtual machines performance.
