Changelog v3 ->v4:
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200723085116.4731-1-srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com/t/#u

powerpc/smp: Create coregroup domain
	if coregroup_support doesn't exist, update MC mask to the next
	smaller domain mask.

Changelog v2 -> v3:
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20200721113814.32284-1-srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com/t/#u

powerpc/smp: Cache node for reuse
	Removed node caching part. Rewrote the Commit msg (Michael Ellerman)
	Renamed to powerpc/smp: Fix a warning under !NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES

powerpc/smp: Enable small core scheduling sooner
	Rewrote changelog (Gautham)
	Renamed to powerpc/smp: Move topology fixups into  a new function

powerpc/smp: Create coregroup domain
	Add optimization for mask updation under coregroup_support

Changelog v1 -> v2:
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20200714043624.5648-1-srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com/t/#u

powerpc/smp: Merge Power9 topology with Power topology
	Replaced a reference to cpu_smt_mask with per_cpu(cpu_sibling_map, cpu)
	since cpu_smt_mask is only defined under CONFIG_SCHED_SMT

powerpc/smp: Enable small core scheduling sooner
	Restored the previous info msg (Jordan)
	Moved big core topology fixup to fixup_topology (Gautham)

powerpc/smp: Dont assume l2-cache to be superset of sibling
	Set cpumask after verifying l2-cache. (Gautham)

powerpc/smp: Generalize 2nd sched domain
	Moved shared_cache topology fixup to fixup_topology (Gautham)

Powerpc/numa: Detect support for coregroup
	Explained Coregroup in commit msg (Michael Ellerman)

Powerpc/smp: Create coregroup domain
	Moved coregroup topology fixup to fixup_topology (Gautham)

powerpc/smp: Implement cpu_to_coregroup_id
	Move coregroup_enabled before getting associativity (Gautham)

powerpc/smp: Provide an ability to disable coregroup
	Patch dropped (Michael Ellerman)

Cleanup of existing powerpc topologies and add coregroup support on
Powerpc. Coregroup is a group of (subset of) cores of a DIE that share
a resource.

Patch 7 of this patch series: "Powerpc/numa: Detect support for coregroup"
depends on
https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20200707140644.7241-1-srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com/t/#u
However it should be easy to rebase the patch without the above patch.

This patch series is based on top of current powerpc/next tree + the
above patch.

A new sched_domain_topology_level was added just for Power9. However the
same can be achieved by merging powerpc_topology with power9_topology
and makes the code more simpler especially when adding a new sched
domain.

Just moving the powerpc_topology description above.
This will help in using functions in this file and avoid declarations.

Current code assumes that cpumask of cpus sharing a l2-cache mask will
always be a superset of cpu_sibling_mask.

Lets stop that assumption. cpu_l2_cache_mask is a superset of
cpu_sibling_mask if and only if shared_caches is set.

Currently "CACHE" domain happens to be the 2nd sched domain as per
powerpc_topology. This domain will collapse if cpumask of l2-cache is
same as SMT domain. However we could generalize this domain such that it
could mean either be a "CACHE" domain or a "BIGCORE" domain.

While setting up the "CACHE" domain, check if shared_cache is already
set.

Add support for grouping cores based on the device-tree classification.
- The last domain in the associativity domains always refers to the
core.
- If primary reference domain happens to be the penultimate domain in
the associativity domains device-tree property, then there are no
coregroups. However if its not a penultimate domain, then there are
coregroups. There can be more than one coregroup. For now we would be
interested in the last or the smallest coregroups.

If allocated earlier and the search fails, then cpumask need to be
freed. However cpu_l1_cache_map can be allocated after we search thread
group.

Add percpu coregroup maps and masks to create coregroup domain.
If a coregroup doesn't exist, the coregroup domain will be degenerated
in favour of SMT/CACHE domain.

Lookup the coregroup id from the associativity array.

If unable to detect the coregroup id, fallback on the core id.
This way, ensure sched_domain degenerates and an extra sched domain is
not created.

Ideally this function should have been implemented in
arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c. However if its implemented in mm/numa.c, we
don't need to find the primary domain again.

If the device-tree mentions more than one coregroup, then kernel
implements only the last or the smallest coregroup, which currently
corresponds to the penultimate domain in the device-tree.

Hi,

So there's at least one arm64 platform out there with the same "pairs of
cores share L2" thing (Ampere eMAG), and that lives quite happily with the
default scheduler topology (SMT/MC/DIE). Each pair of core gets its MC
domain, and the whole system is covered by DIE.

Now arguably it's not a perfect representation; DIE doesn't have
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES so the highest level sd_llc can point to is MC. That
will impact all callsites using cpus_share_cache(): in the eMAG case, only
pairs of cores will be seen as sharing cache, even though *all* cores share
the same L3.

I'm trying to paint a picture of what the P9 topology looks like (the one
you showcase in your cover letter) to see if there are any similarities;
from what I gather in [1], wikichips and your cover letter, with P9 you can
have something like this in a single DIE (somewhat unsure about L3 setup;
it looks to be distributed?)

     +---------------------------------------------------------------------+

     +------+ +------+ +------+ +------+ +------+ +------+ +------+ +------+

Which would lead to (ignoring the whole SMT CPU numbering shenanigans)

NUMA     [                                                   ...
DIE      [                                             ]
MC       [         ] [         ] [         ] [         ]
BIGCORE  [         ] [         ] [         ] [         ]
SMT      [   ] [   ] [   ] [   ] [   ] [   ] [   ] [   ]
         00-03 04-07 08-11 12-15 16-19 20-23 24-27 28-31  <other node here>

This however has MC == BIGCORE; what makes it you can have different spans
for these two domains? If it's not too much to ask, I'd love to have a P9
topology diagram.

Okay, Its good to know that we have a chip which is similar to P9 in
topology.

What you have summed up is perfectly what a P9 topology looks like. I dont
think I could have explained it better than this.

At this time the current topology would be good enough i.e BIGCORE would
always be equal to a MC. However in future we could have chips that can have
lesser/larger number of CPUs in llc than in a BIGCORE or we could have
granular or split L3 caches within a DIE. In such a case BIGCORE != MC.

Also in the current P9 itself, two neighbouring core-pairs form a quad.
Cache latency within a quad is better than a latency to a distant core-pair.
Cache latency within a core pair is way better than latency within a quad.
So if we have only 4 threads running on a DIE all of them accessing the same
cache-lines, then we could probably benefit if all the tasks were to run
within the quad aka MC/Coregroup.

I have found some benchmarks which are latency sensitive to benefit by
having a grouping a quad level (using kernel hacks and not backed by
firmware changes). Gautham also found similar results in his experiments
but he only used binding within the stock kernel.

I am not setting SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES in MC/Coregroup sd_flags as in MC
domain need not be LLC domain for Power.

Here is a summary of some of the testing done with coregroup v4 patchsets.
It includes ebizzy, schbench, perf bench sched pipe and topology verification.
One the left side are results from powerpc/next tree and on the right are the
results with the patchset applied.  Topological verification clearly shows that
there is no change in topology with and without the patches on all the 3 class
of systems that were tested.

On PowerPc/Next                                                            On Powerpc/next + Coregroup Support v4 patchset

Similar verification was done on Power 8 (8 Node 256 CPU LPAR) and Power 9 (2
node 128 Cpu LPAR) and they showed the topology before and after the patch to be
identical. If Interested, I could provide the same.

Did you test this? WRT load balance we do try to balance "load" over the
different domain spans, so if you represent quads as their own MC domain,
you would AFAICT end up spreading tasks over the quads (rather than packing
them) when balancing at e.g. DIE level. The desired behaviour might be
hackable with some more ASYM_PACKING, but I'm not sure I should be
suggesting that :-)

IIUC you reflect this "fabric quirk" (i.e. coregroups) using this DT
binding thing.

That's also where things get interesting (for me) because I experienced
something similar on another arm64 platform (ThunderX1). This was more
about cache bandwidth than cache latency, but IMO it's in the same bag of
fabric quirks. I blabbered a bit about this at last LPC [1], but kind of
gave up on it given the TX1 was the only (arm64) platform where I could get
both significant and reproducible results.

Now, if you folks are seeing this on completely different hardware and have
"real" workloads that truly benefit from this kind of domain partitioning,
this might be another incentive to try and sort of generalize this. That's
outside the scope of your series, but your findings give me some hope!

I think what I had in mind back then was that if enough folks cared about
it, we might get some bits added to the ACPI spec; something along the
lines of proximity domains for the caches described in PPTT, IOW a cache
distance matrix. I don't really know what it'll take to get there, but I
figured I'd dump this in case someone's listening :-)

From what I understood your MC domain does seem to map to LLC; but in any
case, shouldn't you set that flag at least for BIGCORE (i.e. L2)? AIUI with
your changes your sd_llc is gonna be SMT, and that's not going to be a very
big mask. IMO you do want to correctly reflect your LLC situation via this
flag to make cpus_share_cache() work properly.

I am observing that SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES at L2 provides the best
results for POWER9 in terms of cache-benefits during wakeup.  On a
POWER9 Boston machine, running a producer-consumer test case
(https://github.com/gautshen/misc/blob/master/producer_consumer/producer_consumer.c)

The test case creates two threads, one Producer and another
Consumer. Both work on a fairly large shared array of size 64M.  In an
interation the Producer performs stores to 1024 random locations and
wakes up the Consumer. In the Consumer's iteration, loads from those
exact 1024 locations.

We measure the number of Consumer iterations per second and the
average time for each Consumer iteration. The smaller the time, the
better it is.

The following results are when I pinned the Producer and Consumer to
different combinations of CPUs to cover Small core , Big-core,
Neighbouring Big-core, Far off core within the same chip, and across
chips. There is a also a case where they are not affined anywhere, and
we let the scheduler wake them up correctly.

We find the best results when the Producer and Consumer are within the
same L2 domain. These numbers are also close to the numbers that we
get when we let the Scheduler wake them up (where LLC is L2).

## Same Small core (4 threads: Shares L1, L2, L3, Frequency Domain)

Consumer affined to  CPU 3
Producer affined to  CPU 1
    4698 iterations, avg time: 20034 ns

    4856 iterations, avg time: 19394 ns
    4867 iterations, avg time: 19353 ns

## Neighbouring Big-core (Faster data-snooping from L2. Shares L3, Frequency Domain)

Producer affined to  CPU 1
Consumer affined to  CPU 11

    4516 iterations, avg time: 24164 ns
    4518 iterations, avg time: 24165 ns


## Any other Big-core from Same Chip (Shares L3)

Producer affined to  CPU 1
Consumer affined to  CPU 87
    4176 iterations, avg time: 27953 ns
    4417 iterations, avg time: 27925 ns

    4417 iterations, avg time: 27983 ns
    4430 iterations, avg time: 27958 ns


## Different Chips (No cache-sharing)

Consumer affined to  CPU 175
Producer affined to  CPU 1
    3277 iterations, avg time: 50786 ns
    3063 iterations, avg time: 50732 ns

    2859 iterations, avg time: 50688 ns
    2849 iterations, avg time: 50722 ns

## Without affining them (Let Scheduler wake-them up appropriately)
Consumer affined to  CPU 0-175
Producer affined to  CPU 0-175
    4821 iterations, avg time: 19412 ns
    4863 iterations, avg time: 19435 ns
    4855 iterations, avg time: 19381 ns

PeterZ asked for some overview of what you're doing and why, you
responded to his mail, but I was expecting to see that text incorporated
here somewhere.

He also asked for some comments, which I would also like to see.


I'm also not clear why we want to rename it to "bigcore", that's not a
commonly understood term, I don't think it's clear to new readers what
it means.

Leaving it as the shared cache domain, and having a comment mentioning
that "bigcores" share a cache, would be clearer I think.

cheers

This still doesn't tell me what a coregroup actually represents.

I get that it's a grouping of cores, and that the device tree specifies
it for us, but grouping based on what?

I think the answer is we aren't being told by firmware, it's just a
grouping based on some opaque performance characteristic and we just
have to take that as given.

But please explain that clearly in the change log and the code comments.

cheers

It's not freed anywhere AFAICS?

And even after this change there's still an error path that doesn't free
it, isn't there?

It's slightly strange that this is called in patch 9, but only properly
implemented here in patch 10.

I'm not saying you have to squash them together, but it would be good if
the change log for patch 9 mentioned that a subsequent commit will
complete the implementation and how that affects the behaviour.

We have just abstracted the fact that we are creating a sub-group of cores
within a DIE. We are limiting to one sub-group per core. However this would
allow the firmware the flexibility to vary the grouping. Once the firmware
starts using this group, we could add more code to detect the type of
grouping and adjust the sd domain flags accordingly.

This is partially true. At this time, we dont have firmwares that can
exploit this code. Once the firmwares start using this grouping, we could
add more code to align the grouping to the scheduler topology.

Okay, I will do the needful.

Today, Shared cache is equal to Big Core. However in not too distant future,
Shared cache domain and Big Core may not be the same. For example lets
assume that L2 cache were to Shrink per small core with the firmware
exposing the core as a bigcore. Then with the current design, we have a SMT
== SHARED CACHE, and a DIE. We would not have any domain at the publicised 8
thread level. Keeping the Bigcore as a domain and mapping the shared
cache, (I am resetting the domain name as CACHE if BIGCORE==SHARED_CACHE),
helps us in this scenario.

Yes, its never freed. Infact we are never checking if
zalloc_cpumask_var_node fails. Its not just this cpumask, but historically
all the other existing cpumasks in arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c are never
freed/checked. I did dig into this a bit and it appears that ..
(Please do correct me if I am wrong!! )

Powerpc using cpumask_var_t for all of the percpu variables. And it dont seem
to enable CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK even from the MAXSMP config.

So from include/linux/cpumask.h

typedef struct cpumask cpumask_var_t[1];
and
zalloc_cpumask_var_node ends up being cpumask_clear

So I think we are historically we seem to assume we are always
!CPUMASK_OFFSTACK and hence we dont need to check for return as well as
free..

I would look forward to your comments on how we should handle this going
forward. But I would keep this the same for this patchset.

One of the questions that I have is if we most likely are to be in
!CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK, then should be migrate to cpumask_t for percpu
variables. 
 
The reason being we end up using NR_CPU cpumask for each percpu cpumask
variable instead of using NR_CPU cpumask_t pointer.

That's OK, it's a valid way to do things, and can be good for keeping
the size of individual patches down to make them easier to review.

But yeah a mention in the change log of the preceeding patch is helpful
for anyone looking at that commit on its own in the future.

That's correct.

I remember Rusty adding that code, but I don't know if we ever
considered enabling CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.

Probably we meant to but never got around to doing it.

Right.

Agreed, just clarify in the change log that it's not freed at the moment
because of CPU_MASK_OFFSTACK=n

I don't think so, cpumask_t is semi-deprecated AIUI.
  
> The reason being we end up using NR_CPU cpumask for each percpu cpumask
> variable instead of using NR_CPU cpumask_t pointer.

Our current defconfigs have NR_CPUS=2048, which is probably just small
enough to continue using OFFSTACK=n.

But we allow configuring NR_CPUS up to 8192, which surely would need
OFFSTACK=y in order to work.

So I think we need to stick with cpumask_var_t, but we should test with
OFFSTACK=y, and should probably be a bit more careful with checking the
allocations succeed.

And then we should select OFFSTACK=y for NR_CPUS above some threshold.

I guess a comment is best, as that's most likely to be seen by people
looking at the code in future.

A little bit of overview in the change log is also good.

Yeah OK.

In that scenario it's not really clear what the 8 thread level domain
expresses, if the two "halves" of the bigcore have separate L2s. But
presumably there is still some benefit to exposing it.

Agree, load balance will try to spread the load across the quads. In my hack,
I was explicitly marking QUAD domains as !SD_PREFER_SIBLING + relaxing few
load spreading rules when SD_PREFER_SIBLING was not set. And this was on a
slightly older kernel (without recent Vincent's load balance overhaul).

I detect if the LLC is shared at BIGCORE, and if they are shared at BIGCORE,
then I dynamically rename the DOMAIN as CACHE and enable
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES in that domain.

Add support for grouping cores based on the device-tree classification.
- The last domain in the associativity domains always refers to the
core.
- If primary reference domain happens to be the penultimate domain in
the associativity domains device-tree property, then there are no
coregroups. However if its not a penultimate domain, then there are
coregroups. There can be more than one coregroup. For now we would be
interested in the last or the smallest coregroups.
