[PATCH v5 0/5] Track and expose idle PURR and SPURR ticks

[Gautham R. Shenoy]

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Hi,

This is the fifth version of the patches to track and expose idle PURR
and SPURR ticks. These patches are required by tools such as lparstat
to compute system utilization for capacity planning purposes.

The previous versions can be found here:
v4: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/27/323
v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/11/331
v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/2/21/21
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/cover/1159341/

They changes from v4 are:

   - As suggested by Naveen, moved the functions read_this_idle_purr()
     and read_this_idle_spurr() from Patch 2 and Patch 3 respectively
     to Patch 4 where it is invoked.

   - Dropped Patch 6 which cached the values of purr, spurr,
     idle_purr, idle_spurr in order to minimize the number of IPIs
     sent.

   - Updated the dates for the idle_purr, idle_spurr in the
     Documentation Patch 5.

Motivation:
===========
On PSeries LPARs, the data centers planners desire a more accurate
view of system utilization per resource such as CPU to plan the system
capacity requirements better. Such accuracy can be obtained by reading
PURR/SPURR registers for CPU resource utilization.

Tools such as lparstat which are used to compute the utilization need
to know [S]PURR ticks when the cpu was busy or idle. The [S]PURR
counters are already exposed through sysfs.  We already account for
PURR ticks when we go to idle so that we can update the VPA area. This
patchset extends support to account for SPURR ticks when idle, and
expose both via per-cpu sysfs files.

These patches are required for enhancement to the lparstat utility
that compute the CPU utilization based on PURR and SPURR which can be
found here :

[PATCH v5 1/5] powerpc: Move idle_loop_prolog()/epilog() functions to header file

[Gautham R. Shenoy]

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Currently prior to entering an idle state on a Linux Guest, the
pseries cpuidle driver implement an idle_loop_prolog() and
idle_loop_epilog() functions which ensure that idle_purr is correctly
computed, and the hypervisor is informed that the CPU cycles have been
donated.

These prolog and epilog functions are also required in the default
idle call, i.e pseries_lpar_idle(). Hence move these accessor
functions to a common header file and call them from
pseries_lpar_idle(). Since the existing header files such as
asm/processor.h have enough clutter, create a new header file
asm/idle.h. Finally rename idle_loop_prolog() and idle_loop_epilog()
to pseries_idle_prolog() and pseries_idle_epilog() as they are only
relavent for on pseries guests.

[PATCH v5 2/5] powerpc/idle: Store PURR snapshot in a per-cpu global variable

[Gautham R. Shenoy]

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Currently when CPU goes idle, we take a snapshot of PURR via
pseries_idle_prolog() which is used at the CPU idle exit to compute
the idle PURR cycles via the function pseries_idle_epilog().  Thus,
the value of idle PURR cycle thus read before pseries_idle_prolog() and
after pseries_idle_epilog() is always correct.

However, if we were to read the idle PURR cycles from an interrupt
context between pseries_idle_prolog() and pseries_idle_epilog() (this
will be done in a future patch), then, the value of the idle PURR thus
read will not include the cycles spent in the most recent idle period.
Thus, in that interrupt context, we will need access to the snapshot
of the PURR before going idle, in order to compute the idle PURR
cycles for the latest idle duration.

In this patch, we save the snapshot of PURR in pseries_idle_prolog()
in a per-cpu variable, instead of on the stack, so that it can be
accessed from an interrupt context.

[PATCH v5 3/5] powerpc/pseries: Account for SPURR ticks on idle CPUs

[Gautham R. Shenoy]

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

On Pseries LPARs, to calculate utilization, we need to know the
[S]PURR ticks when the CPUs were busy or idle.

Via pseries_idle_prolog(), pseries_idle_epilog(), we track the idle
PURR ticks in the VPA variable "wait_state_cycles". This patch extends
the support to account for the idle SPURR ticks.

[PATCH v5 4/5] powerpc/sysfs: Show idle_purr and idle_spurr for every CPU

[Gautham R. Shenoy]

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

On Pseries LPARs, to calculate utilization, we need to know the
[S]PURR ticks when the CPUs were busy or idle.

The total PURR and SPURR ticks are already exposed via the per-cpu
sysfs files "purr" and "spurr". This patch adds support for exposing
the idle PURR and SPURR ticks via new per-cpu sysfs files named
"idle_purr" and "idle_spurr".

This patch also adds helper functions to accurately read the values of
idle_purr and idle_spurr especially from an interrupt context between
when the interrupt has occurred between the pseries_idle_prolog() and
pseries_idle_epilog(). This will ensure that the idle purr/spurr
values corresponding to the latest idle period is accounted for before
these values are read.

Any chance this is going to be merged in the near future? There is a patchset to
update lparstat in the powerpc-utils package to calculate PURR/SPURR cpu
utilization that I would like to merge, but have been holding off to make sure
we are synced with this proposed patchset.

The results on Shared LPAR and KVM are as follows:
---------------------------------------------------

The lparstat results on a Shared LPAR are consistent with that
observed on a dedicated LPAR when at least one of the threads of the
core is active. When all the threads are idle, the lparstat shows
incorrect idle percentage. But this is perhaps due to the fact that
the Hypervisor puts a completely idle core in some power-saving state
with runlatch turned off due to which PURR counts on the threads of a
core do not add up to the elapsed timebase ticks. The results are in
section A) below.

lparstat is not supported on KVM. However, I performed some basic
sanity checks on purr, spurr, idle_purr, and idle_spurr sysfs files
that show up after this patch series. When CPUs are offlined, the
idle_purr and idle_spurr sysfs files no longer show up, just like purr
and spurr sysfs files. The values of the counters monotonically
increase, except when the CPU is busy, in which case the idle_purr and
idle_spurr counts are stagnant as expected.

However, I don't think the even the values of PURR or SPURR make much
sense on KVM guest, since the Linux Hypervisor doesn't set additional
registers such as RWMR, except on POWER8, where the KVM sets RWMR
corresponding to the number of online threads in a vCORE before
dispatching the vcore. I haven't been able to test it on a POWER8
guest yet. The results on POWER9 are in section B) below.


A ) Shared LPAR
======================

1. When all the threads of the core are running a CPU-Hog

# ./lparstat -E 1 5
System Configuration
type=Shared mode=Capped smt=8 lcpu=6 mem=10362752 kB cpus=10 ent=6.00 
---Actual---                 -Normalized-
%busy  %idle   Frequency     %busy  %idle
------ ------  ------------- ------ ------
100.00   0.00  2.90GHz[126%] 126.00   0.00
100.00   0.00  2.90GHz[126%] 126.00   0.00
100.00   0.00  2.90GHz[126%] 126.00   0.00
100.00   0.00  2.90GHz[126%] 126.00   0.00
100.01   0.00  2.90GHz[126%] 126.01   0.00

2. When 4 threads of a core are running CPU Hogs, with the remaining 4
threads idle.

# ./lparstat -E 1 5
System Configuration
type=Shared mode=Capped smt=8 lcpu=6 mem=10362752 kB cpus=10 ent=6.00 
---Actual---                 -Normalized-
%busy  %idle   Frequency     %busy  %idle
------ ------  ------------- ------ ------
 81.06  18.94  2.97GHz[129%] 104.56  24.44
 81.05  18.95  2.97GHz[129%] 104.56  24.44
 81.06  18.95  2.97GHz[129%] 104.56  24.44
 81.06  18.95  2.97GHz[129%] 104.56  24.44
 81.05  18.95  2.97GHz[129%] 104.56  24.45

3. When 2 threads of a core are running CPU Hogs, with the other 6
threads idle.

# ./lparstat -E 1 5
System Configuration
type=Shared mode=Capped smt=8 lcpu=6 mem=10362752 kB cpus=10 ent=6.00 
---Actual---                 -Normalized-
%busy  %idle   Frequency     %busy  %idle
------ ------  ------------- ------ ------
 65.21  34.79  3.13GHz[136%]  88.69  47.31
 65.20  34.81  3.13GHz[136%]  88.67  47.33
 64.25  35.76  3.13GHz[136%]  87.38  48.63
 63.68  36.31  3.13GHz[136%]  86.60  49.39
 63.55  36.45  3.13GHz[136%]  86.42  49.58
 

4. When a single thread of the core is running CPU Hog, remaining 7
threads are idle.
# ./lparstat -E 1 5
System Configuration
type=Shared mode=Capped smt=8 lcpu=6 mem=10362752 kB cpus=10 ent=6.00 
---Actual---                 -Normalized-
%busy  %idle   Frequency     %busy  %idle
------ ------  ------------- ------ ------
 31.80  68.20  3.20GHz[139%]  44.20  94.80
 31.80  68.20  3.20GHz[139%]  44.20  94.81
 31.80  68.20  3.20GHz[139%]  44.20  94.80
 31.80  68.21  3.20GHz[139%]  44.20  94.81
 31.79  68.21  3.20GHz[139%]  44.19  94.81

5. When the LPAR is idle:

# ./lparstat -E 1 5
System Configuration
type=Shared mode=Capped smt=8 lcpu=6 mem=10362752 kB cpus=10 ent=6.00 
---Actual---                 -Normalized-
%busy  %idle   Frequency     %busy  %idle
------ ------  ------------- ------ ------
  0.04   0.14  2.41GHz[105%]   0.04   0.15
  0.04   0.15  2.36GHz[102%]   0.04   0.15
  0.03   0.13  2.35GHz[102%]   0.03   0.14
  0.03   0.13  2.31GHz[100%]   0.03   0.13
  0.03   0.13  2.32GHz[101%]   0.03   0.14

In this case, the sum of the PURR values do not add up to the elapsed
TB. This is probably due to the Hypervisor putting the core into some
power-saving state with the runlatch turned off.

# ./purr_tb -t 8
Got threads_per_core = 8
CORE 0: 
		CPU 0 : Delta PURR : 85744 
		CPU 1 : Delta PURR : 113632 
		CPU 2 : Delta PURR : 78224 
		CPU 3 : Delta PURR : 68856 
		CPU 4 : Delta PURR : 78064 
		CPU 5 : Delta PURR : 60488 
		CPU 6 : Delta PURR : 77776 
		CPU 7 : Delta PURR : 59464 
Total Delta PURR : 622248 (Expected ~513156096)


B) KVM guest
==============================


vCPU idle:
-------------
Sampled every second when the KVM guest (1 socket, 2 cores, 4 threads,
vCPUs pinned) was idle. The value monotonically increase over time as
expected.


idle_purr:33128550
idle_spurr:3e3c775c
purr:d48181820
spurr:10295e8f28

idle_purr:331319f0

spurr:102964d3f0

idle_purr:331378c0
idle_spurr:3e3de58c
purr:d481faea0
spurr:102969f118

idle_purr:3313daa0
idle_spurr:3e3e77a4
purr:d4822c750
spurr:10296e9538

idle_purr:33143ab0
idle_spurr:3e3f093c
purr:d482608c0
spurr:1029737808

vCPU busy
---------------
Sampled every second on the same KVM guest, when the vCPU was running
a cpu-hog. The values of purr and spurr monotonically increase. And
the values of idle_purr and idle_spurr are stagnant as expected.

idle_purr:3335fca0
idle_spurr:3e71a774
purr:d5dd6bca0
spurr:1049fca1f0

idle_purr:3335fca0
idle_spurr:3e71a774
purr:d7c6f1c50
spurr:1077e12d40

idle_purr:3335fca0
idle_spurr:3e71a774
purr:d9b078720
spurr:10a5c5cc08

idle_purr:3335fca0
idle_spurr:3e71a774
purr:db99ef1d0
spurr:10d3a8eac0

idle_purr:3335fca0
idle_spurr:3e71a774
purr:dd8365c20
spurr:11018c0908


However, I don't think the even the values of PURR or SPURR make any
sense on KVM guest, since the Linux Hypervisor doesn't set additional
registers such as RWMR, except on POWER8, where the KVM sets RWMR
corresponding to the number of online threads in a vCORE before
dispatching the vcore.

On a POWER9 KVM guest:

When it is idle:

# ./purr_tb -t 4
Got threads_per_core = 4
CORE 0: 
		CPU 0 : Delta PURR : 2371632 
		CPU 1 : Delta PURR : 5056 
		CPU 2 : Delta PURR : 8016 
		CPU 3 : Delta PURR : 12688 
Total Delta PURR : 2397392 (Expected ~514567680)


When all the threads are running CPU Hogs:
# ./purr_tb -t 4
Got threads_per_core = 4
CORE 0: 
		CPU 0 : Delta PURR : 510742304 
		CPU 1 : Delta PURR : 510747696 
		CPU 2 : Delta PURR : 510740208
