* Documentation: add amd-pstate kernel command line optionsPerry Yuan2022-11-221-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new amd pstate driver command line option to enable driver passive working mode via MSR and shared memory interface to request desired performance within abstract scale and the power management firmware (SMU) convert the perf requests into actual hardware pstates. Also the `disable` parameter can disable the pstate driver loading by adding `amd_pstate=disable` to kernel command line. Acked-by: Huang Rui <ray.huang@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Gautham R.

This may cause non-negligible overhead for some workloads when under deep level of the hierarchy. commit 3958e2d0c34e ("cgroup: make per-cgroup pressure stall tracking configurable") make PSI to skip per-cgroup stall accounting, only account system-wide to avoid this each level overhead. But for our use case, we also want leaf cgroup PSI stats accounted for userspace adjustment on that cgroup, apart from only system-wide adjustment. So this patch introduce a per-cgroup PSI accounting disable/re-enable interface "cgroup.pressure", which is a read-write single value file that allowed values are "0" and "1", the defaults is "1" so per-cgroup PSI stats is enabled by default. Implementation details: It should be relatively straight-forward to disable and re-enable state aggregation, time tracking, averaging on a per-cgroup level, if we can live with losing history from while it was disabled. I.e. the avgs will restart from 0, total= will have gaps. But it's hard or complex to stop/restart groupc->tasks[] updates, which is not implemented in this patch. So we always update groupc->tasks[] and PSI_ONCPU bit in psi_group_change() even when the cgroup PSI stats is disabled.

Apart from these, IRQ/SOFTIRQ could have obvious impact on some workload productivity, such as web service workload. When CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING, we can get IRQ/SOFTIRQ delta time from update_rq_clock_task(), in which we can record that delta to CPU curr task's cgroups as PSI_IRQ_FULL status. Note we don't use PSI_IRQ_SOME since IRQ/SOFTIRQ always happen in the current task on the CPU, make nothing productive could run even if it were runnable, so we only use PSI_IRQ_FULL.

To close a trivial containment failure case, the swap ownership tracking part of the swap controller has recently become mandatory (see commit 2d1c498072de ("mm: memcontrol: make swap tracking an integral part of memory control") for details), which makes up the majority of the work during swapout, swapin, and the swap slot map. The only thing left under this flag is the page_counter operations and the visibility of the swap control files in the first place, which are rather meager savings. There also aren't many scenarios, if any, where controlling the memory of a cgroup while allowing it unlimited access to a global swap space is a workable resource isolation strategy. On the other hand, there have been several bugs and confusion around the many possible swap controller states (cgroup1 vs cgroup2 behavior, memory accounting without swap accounting, memcg runtime disabled). This puts the maintenance overhead of retaining the toggle above its practical benefits. Deprecate it.

| * | | mm/khugepaged: attempt to map file/shmem-backed pte-mapped THPs by pmdsZach O'Keefe2022-10-031-1/+8

In fact, one could argue they are detrimental to system performance overall since they occupy a precious hugepage-aligned/sized region of physical memory that could otherwise be used more effectively. Additionally, pte-mapped hugepages can be the cheapest memory to collapse for khugepaged since no new hugepage allocation or copying of memory contents is necessary - we only need to update the mapping page tables. In the anonymous collapse path, we are able to collapse pte-mapped hugepages (albeit, perhaps suboptimally), but the file/shmem path makes no effort when compound pages (of any order) are encountered. Identify pte-mapped hugepages in the file/shmem collapse path. The final step of which makes a racy check of the value of the pmd to ensure it maps a pte table. This should be fine, since races that result in false-positive (i.e. attempt collapse even though we shouldn't) will fail later in collapse_pte_mapped_thp() once we actually lock mmap_lock and reinspect the pmd value. Races that result in false-negatives (i.e. where we decide to not attempt collapse, but should have) shouldn't be an issue, since in the worst case, we do nothing - which is what we've done up to this point. We make a similar check in retract_page_tables(). If we do think we've found a pte-mapped hugepgae in khugepaged context, attempt to update page tables mapping this hugepage. Note that these collapses still count towards the /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_collapsed counter, and if the pte-mapped hugepage was also mapped into multiple process' address spaces, could be incremented for each page table update. Since we increment the counter when a pte-mapped hugepage is successfully added to the list of to-collapse pte-mapped THPs, it's possible that we never actually update the page table either. This is different from how file/shmem pages_collapsed accounting works today where only a successful page cache update is counted (it's also possible here that no page tables are actually changed). Though it incurs some slop, this is preferred to either not accounting for the event at all, or plumbing through data in struct mm_slot on whether to account for the collapse or not. Also note that work still needs to be done to support arbitrary compound pages, and that this should all be converted to using folios.

Moreover, DAMON debugfs interface is going to be deprecated as announced by commit b18402726bd1 ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: document DAMON sysfs interface"). This commit therefore update the document to tell readers about DAMON sysfs interface dependency instead and never mention about debugfs interface, which will be deprecated.

It seems that we cannot track early page allocations in current kernel even if page structure has been initialized early. This patch introduces a new boot parameter 'early_page_ext' to resolve this problem. If we pass it to the kernel, page_ext_init() will be moved up and the feature 'deferred initialization of struct pages' will be disabled to initialize the page allocator early and prevent the panic problem above. It can help us to catch early page allocations. This is useful especially when we find that the free memory value is not the same right after different kernel booting.

A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow memory bandwidth contention. A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patch as the page promotion rate limit mechanism. The number of the candidate pages to be promoted to the fast memory node via NUMA balancing is counted, if the count exceeds the limit specified by the users, the NUMA balancing promotion will be stopped until the next second. A new sysctl knob kernel.numa_balancing_promote_rate_limit_MBps is added for the users to specify the limit.

One side problem with this is having 2 cma's with first common 12 characters would end up in trying to create directories with same name and fails with -EEXIST thus can limit cma debug functionality. The 'cma-' prefix is used initially where cma areas don't have any names and are represented by simple integer values. Since now each cma would be having its own name, drop 'cma-' prefix for the cma debug directories as they are clearly evident that they are for cma debug through creating them in /sys/kernel/debug/cma/ path.

Implement this using the VPA accumulated wait counters. Note this will not work on current KVM hosts because KVM does not implement the VPA dispatch counters (yet). It could be implemented with the dispatch trace log as it is for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE, but that is not necessary for the more limited accounting provided by PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING, and it is more expensive, complex, and has downsides like potential log wrap. From Shrikanth: [...] it was tested on Power10 [PowerVM] Shared LPAR. system has two LPAR. we will call first one LPAR1 and second one as LPAR2. Test was carried out in SMT=1. Similar observation was seen in SMT=8 as well. LPAR config header from each LPAR is below. LPAR1 is twice as big as LPAR2. Since Both are sharing the same underlying hardware, work stealing will happen when both the LPAR's are contending for the same resource. LPAR1: type=Shared mode=Uncapped smt=Off lcpu=40 cpus=40 ent=20.00 LPAR2: type=Shared mode=Uncapped smt=Off lcpu=20 cpus=40 ent=10.00 mpstat was used to check for the utilization. stress-ng has been used as the workload. Few cases are tested. when the both LPAR are idle there is no steal time. when LPAR1 starts running at 100% which consumes all of the physical resource, steal time starts to get accounted. With LPAR1 running at 100% and LPAR2 starts running, steal time starts increasing. This is as expected. When the LPAR2 Load is increased further, steal time increases further.

These stats give insights to users to how much memory is used by the kernel and for what purposes. Currently, memory used by KVM mmu is not accounted in any of those kernel memory stats. This patch series accounts the memory pages used by KVM for page tables in those stats in a new NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE stat. This stat can be later extended to account for other types of secondary pages tables (e.g. iommu page tables). KVM has a decent number of large allocations that aren't for page tables, but for most of them, the number/size of those allocations scales linearly with either the number of vCPUs or the amount of memory assigned to the VM. KVM's secondary page table allocations do not scale linearly, especially when nested virtualization is in use. From a KVM perspective, NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE will scale with KVM's per-VM pages_{4k,2m,1g} stats unless the guest is doing something bizarre (e.g. accessing only 4kb chunks of 2mb pages so that KVM is forced to allocate a large number of page tables even though the guest isn't accessing that much memory). However, someone would need to either understand how KVM works to make that connection, or know (or be told) to go look at KVM's stats if they're running VMs to better decipher the stats. Furthermore, having NR_PAGETABLE side-by-side with NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE is informative. For example, when backing a VM with THP vs. HugeTLB, NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE is roughly the same, but NR_PAGETABLE is an order of magnitude higher with THP. So having this stat will at the very least prove to be useful for understanding tradeoffs between VM backing types, and likely even steer folks towards potential optimizations. The original discussion with more details about the rationale: https://lore.kernel.org/all/87ilqoi77b.wl-maz@kernel.org This stat will be used by subsequent patches to count KVM mmu memory usage.

For example, in the lmbench test, the "process fork && exit" test performance drops by 20%. So it is necessary to have the ability to turn off the mitigation individually through cmdline, thus avoiding having to compile the kernel by adjusting the config.
