commit 7517e899e1b87b4c22a92c7e40d8733c48e4ec3c upstream.

The memory bandwidth calculation relies on reading the hardware counter
and measuring the delta between samples. To ensure accurate measurement,
the software reads the counter frequently enough to prevent it from
rolling over twice between reads.

The default Memory Bandwidth Monitoring (MBM) counter width is 24 bits.
Hygon CPUs provide a 32-bit width counter, but they do not support the
MBM capability CPUID leaf (0xF.[ECX=1]:EAX) to report the width offset
(from 24 bits).

Consequently, the kernel falls back to the 24-bit default counter width,
which causes incorrect overflow handling on Hygon CPUs.

Fix this by explicitly setting the counter width offset to 8 bits (resulting
in a 32-bit total counter width) for Hygon CPUs.

commit 6ee98aabdc700b5705e4f1833e2edc82a826b53b upstream.

Hygon CPUs supporting Platform QoS features currently undergo partial resctrl
initialization through resctrl_cpu_detect() in the Hygon BSP init helper and
AMD/Hygon common initialization code. However, several critical data
structures remain uninitialized for Hygon CPUs in the following paths:

 - get_mem_config()-&gt; __rdt_get_mem_config_amd():
     rdt_resource::membw,alloc_capable
     hw_res::num_closid

 - rdt_init_res_defs()-&gt;rdt_init_res_defs_amd():
     rdt_resource::cache
     hw_res::msr_base,msr_update

Add the missing AMD/Hygon common initialization to ensure proper Platform QoS
functionality on Hygon CPUs.

<title>x86/resctrl: Fix miscount of bandwidth event when reactivating previously unavailable RMID</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 15292f1b4c55a3a7c940dbcb6cb8793871ed3d92 upstream.

Users can create as many monitoring groups as the number of RMIDs supported
by the hardware. However, on AMD systems, only a limited number of RMIDs
are guaranteed to be actively tracked by the hardware. RMIDs that exceed
this limit are placed in an "Unavailable" state.

When a bandwidth counter is read for such an RMID, the hardware sets
MSR_IA32_QM_CTR.Unavailable (bit 62). When such an RMID starts being tracked
again the hardware counter is reset to zero. MSR_IA32_QM_CTR.Unavailable
remains set on first read after tracking re-starts and is clear on all
subsequent reads as long as the RMID is tracked.

resctrl miscounts the bandwidth events after an RMID transitions from the
"Unavailable" state back to being tracked. This happens because when the
hardware starts counting again after resetting the counter to zero, resctrl
in turn compares the new count against the counter value stored from the
previous time the RMID was tracked.

This results in resctrl computing an event value that is either undercounting
(when new counter is more than stored counter) or a mistaken overflow (when
new counter is less than stored counter).

Reset the stored value (arch_mbm_state::prev_msr) of MSR_IA32_QM_CTR to
zero whenever the RMID is in the "Unavailable" state to ensure accurate
counting after the RMID resets to zero when it starts to be tracked again.

Example scenario that results in mistaken overflow
==================================================
1. The resctrl filesystem is mounted, and a task is assigned to a
   monitoring group.

   $mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
   $mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_groups/test1/
   $echo 1234 &gt; /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_groups/test1/tasks

   $cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_groups/test1/mon_data/mon_L3_*/mbm_total_bytes
   21323            &lt;- Total bytes on domain 0
   "Unavailable"    &lt;- Total bytes on domain 1

   Task is running on domain 0. Counter on domain 1 is "Unavailable".

2. The task runs on domain 0 for a while and then moves to domain 1. The
   counter starts incrementing on domain 1.

   $cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_groups/test1/mon_data/mon_L3_*/mbm_total_bytes
   7345357          &lt;- Total bytes on domain 0
   4545             &lt;- Total bytes on domain 1

3. At some point, the RMID in domain 0 transitions to the "Unavailable"
   state because the task is no longer executing in that domain.

   $cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_groups/test1/mon_data/mon_L3_*/mbm_total_bytes
   "Unavailable"    &lt;- Total bytes on domain 0
   434341           &lt;- Total bytes on domain 1

4.  Since the task continues to migrate between domains, it may eventually
    return to domain 0.

    $cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_groups/test1/mon_data/mon_L3_*/mbm_total_bytes
    17592178699059  &lt;- Overflow on domain 0
    3232332         &lt;- Total bytes on domain 1

In this case, the RMID on domain 0 transitions from "Unavailable" state to
active state. The hardware sets MSR_IA32_QM_CTR.Unavailable (bit 62) when
the counter is read and begins tracking the RMID counting from 0.

Subsequent reads succeed but return a value smaller than the previously
saved MSR value (7345357). Consequently, the resctrl's overflow logic is
triggered, it compares the previous value (7345357) with the new, smaller
value and incorrectly interprets this as a counter overflow, adding a large
delta.

In reality, this is a false positive: the counter did not overflow but was
simply reset when the RMID transitioned from "Unavailable" back to active
state.

Here is the text from APM [1] available from [2].

"In PQOS Version 2.0 or higher, the MBM hardware will set the U bit on the
first QM_CTR read when it begins tracking an RMID that it was not
previously tracking. The U bit will be zero for all subsequent reads from
that RMID while it is still tracked by the hardware. Therefore, a QM_CTR
read with the U bit set when that RMID is in use by a processor can be
considered 0 when calculating the difference with a subsequent read."

[ Upstream commit 2b5648416e47933939dc310c4ea1e29404f35630 ]

The resctrl schemata file supports specifying memory bandwidth associated with
the Memory Bandwidth Allocation (MBA) feature via a percentage (this is the
default) or bandwidth in MiBps (when resctrl is mounted with the "mba_MBps"
option).

The allowed range for the bandwidth percentage is from
/sys/fs/resctrl/info/MB/min_bandwidth to 100, using a granularity of
/sys/fs/resctrl/info/MB/bandwidth_gran. The supported range for the MiBps
bandwidth is 0 to U32_MAX.

There are two issues with parsing of MiBps memory bandwidth:

* The user provided MiBps is mistakenly rounded up to the granularity
  that is unique to percentage input.

* The user provided MiBps is parsed using unsigned long (thus accepting
  values up to ULONG_MAX), and then assigned to u32 that could result in
  overflow.

Do not round up the MiBps value and parse user provided bandwidth as the u32
it is intended to be. Use the appropriate kstrtou32() that can detect out of
range values.

commit d5fd042bf4cfb557981d65628e1779a492cd8cfa upstream.

After a recent LLVM change [1] that deduces __cold on functions that only call
cold code (such as __init functions), there is a section mismatch warning from
__get_mem_config_intel(), which got moved to .text.unlikely. as a result of
that optimization:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: \
  __get_mem_config_intel+0x77 (section: .text.unlikely.) -&gt; thread_throttle_mode_init (section: .init.text)

Mark __get_mem_config_intel() as __init as well since it is only called
from __init code, which clears up the warning.

While __rdt_get_mem_config_amd() does not exhibit a warning because it
does not call any __init code, it is a similar function that is only
called from __init code like __get_mem_config_intel(), so mark it __init
as well to keep the code symmetrical.

CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=n would turn this into a fatal error.

commit d5fd042bf4cfb557981d65628e1779a492cd8cfa upstream.

After a recent LLVM change [1] that deduces __cold on functions that only call
cold code (such as __init functions), there is a section mismatch warning from
__get_mem_config_intel(), which got moved to .text.unlikely. as a result of
that optimization:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: \
  __get_mem_config_intel+0x77 (section: .text.unlikely.) -&gt; thread_throttle_mode_init (section: .init.text)

Mark __get_mem_config_intel() as __init as well since it is only called
from __init code, which clears up the warning.

While __rdt_get_mem_config_amd() does not exhibit a warning because it
does not call any __init code, it is a similar function that is only
called from __init code like __get_mem_config_intel(), so mark it __init
as well to keep the code symmetrical.

CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=n would turn this into a fatal error.

<title>x86/resctrl: Implement new mba_MBps throttling heuristic</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit c2427e70c1630d98966375fffc2b713ab9768a94 ]

The mba_MBps feedback loop increases throttling when a group is using
more bandwidth than the target set by the user in the schemata file, and
decreases throttling when below target.

To avoid possibly stepping throttling up and down on every poll a flag
"delta_comp" is set whenever throttling is changed to indicate that the
actual change in bandwidth should be recorded on the next poll in
"delta_bw". Throttling is only reduced if the current bandwidth plus
delta_bw is below the user target.

This algorithm works well if the workload has steady bandwidth needs.
But it can go badly wrong if the workload moves to a different phase
just as the throttling level changed. E.g. if the workload becomes
essentially idle right as throttling level is increased, the value
calculated for delta_bw will be more or less the old bandwidth level.
If the workload then resumes, Linux may never reduce throttling because
current bandwidth plus delta_bw is above the target set by the user.

Implement a simpler heuristic by assuming that in the worst case the
currently measured bandwidth is being controlled by the current level of
throttling. Compute how much it may increase if throttling is relaxed to
the next higher level. If that is still below the user target, then it
is ok to reduce the amount of throttling.

[ Upstream commit 54e35eb8611cce5550d3d7689679b1a91c864f28 ]

If the BMEC (Bandwidth Monitoring Event Configuration) feature is
supported, the bandwidth events can be configured. The maximum supported
bandwidth bitmask can be read from CPUID:

  CPUID_Fn80000020_ECX_x03 [Platform QoS Monitoring Bandwidth Event Configuration]
  Bits    Description
  31:7    Reserved
   6:0    Identifies the bandwidth sources that can be tracked.

While at it, move the mask checking to mon_config_write() before
iterating over all the domains. Also, print the valid bitmask when the
user tries to configure invalid event configuration value.

The CPUID details are documented in the Processor Programming Reference
(PPR) Vol 1.1 for AMD Family 19h Model 11h B1 - 55901 Rev 0.25 in the
Link tag.

Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only

time placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be
dynamically allocated at boot time.
