[PATCH 00/13] selftests/resctrl: resctrl_val() related cleanups & improvements

[Ilpo Järvinen]

Hi all,

This series does a number of cleanups into resctrl_val() and
generalizes it by removing test name specific handling from the
function.

One of the changes improves MBA/MBM measurement by narrowing down the
period the resctrl FS derived memory bandwidth numbers are measured
over. My feel is it didn't cause noticeable difference into the numbers
because they're generally good anyway except for the small number of
outliers. To see the impact on outliers, I'd need to setup a test to
run large number of replications and do a statistical analysis, which
I've not spent my time on. Even without the statistical analysis, the
new way to measure seems obviously better and makes sense even if I
cannot see a major improvement with the setup I'm using.

This series has some conflicts with SNC series from Maciej and also
with the MBA/MBM series from Babu.

[PATCH 01/13] selftests/resctrl: Convert get_mem_bw_imc() fd close to for loop

[Ilpo Järvinen]

The open() side handles fds in a for loop but close() is based on two
fixed indexes READ and WRITE.

Match the close() side with the open() side by using for loop for
consistency.

[PATCH 02/13] selftests/resctrl: Calculate resctrl FS derived mem bw over sleep(1) only

[Ilpo Järvinen]

For MBM/MBA tests, measure_vals() calls get_mem_bw_imc() that performs
the measurement over a duration of sleep(1) call. The memory bandwidth
numbers from IMC are derived over this duration. The resctrl FS derived
memory bandwidth, however, is calculated inside measure_vals() and only
takes delta between the previous value and the current one which
besides the actual test, also samples inter-test noise.

Rework the logic in measure_vals() and get_mem_bw_imc() such that the
resctrl FS memory bandwidth section covers much shorter duration
closely matching that of the IMC perf counters to improve measurement
accuracy.

[PATCH 03/13] selftests/resctrl: Consolidate get_domain_id() into resctrl_val()

[Ilpo Järvinen]

Both initialize_mem_bw_resctrl() and initialize_llc_occu_resctrl() that
are called from resctrl_val() need to determine domain ID to construct
resctrl fs related paths. Both functions do it by taking CPU ID which
neither needs for any other purpose than determining the domain ID.

Consolidate determining the domain ID into resctrl_val() and pass the
domain ID instead of CPU ID to initialize_mem_bw_resctrl() and
initialize_llc_occu_resctrl().

[PATCH 04/13] selftests/resctrl: Use correct type for pids

[Ilpo Järvinen]

A few functions receive PIDs through int arguments. PIDs variables
should be of type pid_t, not int.

Convert pid arguments from int to pid_t.

[PATCH 05/13] selftests/resctrl: Cleanup bm_pid and ppid usage & limit scope

[Ilpo Järvinen]

'bm_pid' and 'ppid' are global variables. As they are used by different
processes and in signal handler, they cannot be entirely converted into
local variables.

The scope of those variables can still be reduced into resctrl_val.c
only. As PARENT_EXIT() macro is using 'ppid', make it a function in
resctrl_val.c and pass ppid to it as an argument because it is easier
to understand than using the global variable directly.

Pass 'bm_pid' into measure_val() instead of relying on the global
variable which helps to make the call signatures of measure_val() and
measure_llc_resctrl() more similar to each other.

[PATCH 06/13] selftests/resctrl: Rename measure_vals() to measure_mem_bw_vals() & document

[Ilpo Järvinen]

measure_val() is awfully generic name so rename it to measure_mem_bw()
to describe better what it does and document the function parameters.

[PATCH 07/13] selftests/resctrl: Add ->measure() callback to resctrl_val_param

[Ilpo Järvinen]

The measurement done in resctrl_val() varies depending on test type.
The decision for how to measure is decided based on the string compare
to test name which is quite inflexible.

Add ->measure() callback into the struct resctrl_val_param to allow
each test to provide necessary code as a function which simplifies what
resctrl_val() has to do.

[PATCH 08/13] selftests/resctrl: Add ->init() callback into resctrl_val_param

[Ilpo Järvinen]

The struct resctrl_val_param is there to customize behavior inside
resctrl_val() which is currently not used to full extent and there are
number of strcmp()s for test name in resctrl_val done by resctrl_val().

Create ->init() hook into the struct resctrl_val_param to cleanly
do per test initialization.

Remove also unused branches to setup paths and the related #defines.

[PATCH 09/13] selftests/resctrl: Simplify bandwidth report type handling

[Ilpo Järvinen]

bw_report is only needed for selecting the correct value from the
values IMC measured. It is a member in the resctrl_val_param struct and
is always set to "reads". The value is then checked in resctrl_val()
using validate_bw_report_request() that besides validating the input,
assumes it can mutate the string which is questionable programming
practice.

Simplify handling bw_report:

- Convert validate_bw_report_request() into get_bw_report_type() that
  inputs and returns const char *. Use NULL to indicate error.

- Validate the report types inside measure_mem_bw(), not in
  resctrl_val().

- As resctrl_val() no longer needs bw_report for anything, it can just
  be passed to measure_mem_bw() by the ->measure() hooks.

[PATCH 10/13] selftests/resctrl: Make some strings passed to resctrlfs functions const

[Ilpo Järvinen]

Control group, monitor group and resctrl_val are not mutated and
should not be mutated within resctrlfs.c functions.

Mark this by using const char * for the arguments.

[Ilpo Järvinen]

The struct resctrl_val_param has control and monitor groups as char

Convert the ctrlgrp and mongrp char array within resctrl_val_param to
plain const char pointers and adjust the strlen() based checks to
check NULL instead.

[PATCH 13/13] selftests/resctrl: Remove test name comparing from write_bm_pid_to_resctrl()

[Ilpo Järvinen]

write_bm_pid_to_resctrl() uses resctrl_val to check test name which is
not a good interface generic resctrl FS functions should provide.

Only MBM and CMT tests define mongrp so the test name check in
write_bm_pid_to_resctrl() can be changed to depend simply on mongrp
being non-NULL.

With last user of resctrl_val gone, the parameter and member from the
struct resctrl_val_param can removed. Test name constants can also be
removed because they are not used anymore.
