bandwidth
The MBA test incrementally throttles memory bandwidth, each time
followed by a comparison between the memory bandwidth observed
by the performance counters and resctrl respectively.
While a comparison between performance counters and resctrl is
generally appropriate, they do not have an identical view of
memory bandwidth. For example RAS features or memory performance
features that generate memory traffic may drive accesses that are
counted differently by performance counters and MBM respectively,
for instance generating "overhead" traffic which is not counted
against any specific RMID. As a ratio, this different view of memory
bandwidth becomes more apparent at low memory bandwidths.
It is not practical to enable/disable the various features that
may generate memory bandwidth to give performance counters and
resctrl an identical view. Instead, do not compare performance
counters and resctrl view of memory bandwidth when the memory
bandwidth is low.
Bandwidth throttling behaves differently across platforms
so it is not appropriate to drop measurement data simply based
on the throttling level. Instead, use a threshold of 750MiB
that has been observed to support adequate comparison between
performance counters and resctrl.

By default the MBM and MBA tests use the "fill_buf" benchmark to
read from a buffer with the goal to measure the memory bandwidth
generated by this buffer access.
Care should be taken when sizing the buffer used by the "fill_buf"
benchmark. If the buffer is small enough to fit in the cache then
it cannot be expected that the benchmark will generate much memory
bandwidth. For example, on a system with 320MB L3 cache the existing
hardcoded default of 250MB is insufficient.
Use the measured cache size to determine a buffer size that can be
expected to trigger memory access while keeping the existing default
as minimum, now renamed to MINIMUM_SPAN, that has been appropriate for
testing so far.

The CMT, MBA, and MBM tests rely on the resctrl_val() wrapper to
start and run a benchmark while providing test specific flows
via callbacks to do test specific configuration and measurements.
At a high level, the resctrl_val() flow is:
a) Start by fork()ing a child process that installs a signal
handler for SIGUSR1 that, on receipt of SIGUSR1, will
start running a benchmark.
b) Assign the child process created in (a) to the resctrl
control and monitoring group that dictates the memory and
cache allocations with which the process can run and will
contain all resctrl monitoring data of that process.
c) Once parent and child are considered "ready" (determined via
a message over a pipe) the parent signals the child (via
SIGUSR1) to start the benchmark, waits one second for the
benchmark to run, and then starts collecting monitoring data
for the tests, potentially also changing allocation
configuration depending on the various test callbacks.
A problem with the above flow is the "black box" view of the
benchmark that is combined with an arbitrarily chosen
"wait one second" before measurements start. No matter what
the benchmark does, it is given one second to initialize before
measurements start.
The default benchmark "fill_buf" consists of two parts,
first it prepares a buffer (allocate, initialize, then flush), then it
reads from the buffer (in unpredictable ways) until terminated.
Depending on the system and the size of the buffer, the first "prepare"
part may not be complete by the time the one second delay expires. Test
measurements may thus start before the work needing to be measured runs.
Split the default benchmark into its "prepare" and "runtime" parts and
simplify the resctrl_val() wrapper while doing so. This same split
cannot be done for the user provided benchmark (without a user
interface change), so the current behavior is maintained for user
provided benchmark.
Assign the test itself to the control and monitoring group and run the
"prepare" part of the benchmark in this context, ensuring it runs with
required cache and memory bandwidth allocations. With the benchmark
preparation complete it is only needed to fork() the "runtime" part
of the benchmark (or entire user provided benchmark).
Keep the "wait one second" delay before measurements start. For the
default "fill_buf" benchmark this time now covers only the "runtime"
portion that needs to be measured. For the user provided benchmark this
delay maintains current behavior.

The benchmark used during the CMT, MBM, and MBA tests can be provided by
the user via (-b) parameter, if not provided the default "fill_buf"
benchmark is used. The user is additionally able to override
any of the "fill_buf" default parameters when running the tests with
"-b fill_buf <fill_buf parameters>".
The "fill_buf" parameters are managed as an array of strings. Using an
array of strings is complex because it requires transformations to/from
strings at every producer and consumer. This is made worse for the
individual tests where the default benchmark parameters values may not
be appropriate and additional data wrangling is required. For example,
the CMT test duplicates the entire array of strings in order to replace
one of the parameters.
More issues appear when combining the usage of an array of strings with
the use case of user overriding default parameters by specifying
"-b fill_buf <parameters>". This use case is fragile with opportunities
to trigger a SIGSEGV because of opportunities for NULL pointers to exist
in the array of strings. For example, by running below (thus by specifying
"fill_buf" should be used but all parameters are NULL):
$ sudo resctrl_tests -t mbm -b fill_buf
Replace the "array of strings" parameters used for "fill_buf" with
new struct fill_buf_param that contains the "fill_buf" parameters that
can be used directly without transformations to/from strings. Two
instances of struct fill_buf_param may exist at any point in time:
* If the user provides new parameters to "fill_buf", the
user parameter structure (struct user_params) will point to a
fully initialized and immutable struct fill_buf_param
containing the user provided parameters.
* If "fill_buf" is the benchmark that should be used by a test,
then the test parameter structure (struct resctrl_val_param)
will point to a fully initialized struct fill_buf_param. The
latter may contain (a) the user provided parameters verbatim,
(b) user provided parameters adjusted to be appropriate for
the test, or (c) the default parameters for "fill_buf" that
is appropriate for the test if the user did not provide
"fill_buf" parameters nor an alternate benchmark.
The existing behavior of CMT test is to use test defined value for the
buffer size even if the user provides another value via command line.
This behavior is maintained since the test requires that the buffer size
matches the size of the cache allocated, and the amount of cache
allocated can instead be changed by the user with the "-n" command line
parameter.

The MBM and MBA resctrl selftests run a benchmark during which
it takes measurements of read memory bandwidth via perf.
Code exists to support measurements of write memory bandwidth
but there exists no path with which this code can execute.
While code exists for write memory bandwidth measurement
there has not yet been a use case for it. Remove this unused code.

that it relates only to memory bandwidth reads, while renaming
the functions also add consistency by changing the "membw"

The CMT, MBM, and MBA tests rely on a benchmark to generate
memory traffic. By default this is the "fill_buf" benchmark that
can be replaced via the "-b" command line argument.
The original intent of the "-b" command line parameter was
to replace the default "fill_buf" benchmark, but the implementation
also exposes an alternative use case where the "fill_buf" parameters
itself can be modified. One of the parameters to "fill_buf" is the
"operation" that can be either "read" or "write" and indicates
whether the "fill_buf" should use "read" or "write" operations on the
allocated buffer.
While replacing "fill_buf" default parameters is technically possible,
replacing the default "read" parameter with "write" is not supported
because the MBA and MBM tests only measure "read" operations. The
"read" operation is also most appropriate for the CMT test that aims
to use the benchmark to allocate into the cache.
Avoid any potential inconsistencies between test and measurement by
removing code for unsupported "write" operations to the buffer.
Ignore any attempt from user space to enable this unsupported test
configuration, instead always use read operations.
Keep the initialization of the, now unused, "fill_buf" parameters
to reserve these parameter positions since it has been exposed as an API.
Future parameter additions cannot use these parameter positions.

The CMT, MBM, and MBA tests rely on a benchmark that runs while
the test makes changes to needed configuration (for example memory
bandwidth allocation) and takes needed measurements. By default
the "fill_buf" benchmark is used and by default (via its
"once = false" setting) "fill_buf" is configured to run until
terminated after the test completes.
An unintended consequence of enabling the user to override the
benchmark also enables the user to change parameters to the
"fill_buf" benchmark. This enables the user to set "fill_buf" to
only cycle through the buffer once (by setting "once = true")
and thus breaking the CMT, MBA, and MBM tests that expect
workload/interference to be reflected by their measurements.
Prevent user space from changing the "once" parameter and ensure
that it is always false for the CMT, MBA, and MBM tests.

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().
- Pass bw_report to measure_mem_bw() from ->measure() hook because
resctrl_val() no longer needs bw_report for anything.

'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_vals() instead of relying on the global
variable which helps to make the call signatures of measure_vals() and
measure_llc_resctrl() more similar to each other.

Domain id is acquired differently depending on CPU. AMD tests use id
from L3 cache, whereas CPUs from other vendors base the id on topology
package id. In order to support L2 CAT test, this has to be
generalized.
The driver side code seems to get the domain ids from cache ids so the
approach used by the AMD branch seems to match the kernel-side code. It
will also work with L2 domain IDs as long as the cache level is
generalized.
Using the topology id was always fragile due to mismatch with the
kernel-side way to acquire the domain id. It got incorrect domain id,
e.g., when Cluster-on-Die (CoD) is enabled for CPU (but CoD is not well
suited for resctrl in the first place so it has not been a big issue if
tests don't work correctly with it).
Taking all the above into account, generalize acquiring the domain id
by taking it from the cache id and do not hard-code the cache level.

CAT test spawns two processes into two different control groups with
exclusive schemata. Both the processes alloc a buffer from memory
matching their allocated LLC block size and flush the entire buffer out
of caches. Since the processes are reading through the buffer only once
during the measurement and initially all the buffer was flushed, the
test isn't testing CAT.
Rewrite the CAT test to allocate a buffer sized to half of LLC. Then
perform a sequence of tests with different LLC alloc sizes starting
from half of the CBM bits down to 1-bit CBM. Flush the buffer before
each test and read the buffer twice. Observe the LLC misses on the
second read through the buffer. As the allocated LLC block gets smaller
and smaller, the LLC misses will become larger and larger giving a
strong signal on CAT working properly.
The new CAT test is using only a single process because it relies on
measured effect against another run of itself rather than another
process adding noise. The rest of the system is set to use the CBM bits
not used by the CAT test to keep the test isolated.
Replace count_bits() with count_contiguous_bits() to get the first bit
position in order to be able to calculate masks based on it.
This change has been tested with a number of systems from different
generations.

The fill_buf code prevents compiler optimizating the entire read loop
away by writing the final value of the variable into a file. While it
achieves the goal, writing into a file requires significant amount of
work within the innermost test loop and also error handling.
A simpler approach is to take advantage of volatile. Writing through
a pointer to a volatile variable is enough to prevent compiler from
optimizing the write away, and therefore compiler cannot remove the
read loop either.
Add a volatile 'value_sink' into resctrl_tests.c and make fill_buf to
write into it. As a result, the error handling in fill_buf.c can be
simplified.

show_cache_info() calculates results and provides generic cache
information. This makes it hard to alter pass/fail conditions.
Separate the test specific checks into CAT and CMT test files and
leave only the generic information part into show_cache_info().

measure_cache_vals() does a different thing depending on the test case
that called it:
- For CAT, it measures LLC misses through perf.
- For CMT, it measures LLC occupancy through resctrl.
Split these two functionalities into own functions the CAT and CMT
tests can call directly. Replace passing the struct resctrl_val_param
parameter with the filename because it's more generic and all those
functions need out of resctrl_val.

CAT test doesn't take shareable bits into account, i.e., the test might
be sharing cache with some devices (e.g., graphics).
Introduce get_mask_no_shareable() and use it to provision an
environment for CAT test where the allocated LLC is isolated better.
Excluding shareable_bits may create hole(s) into the cbm_mask, thus add
a new helper count_contiguous_bits() to find the longest contiguous set
of CBM bits.
create_bit_mask() is needed by an upcoming CAT test rewrite so make it
available in resctrl.h right away.

CAT and CMT tests calculate size of the cache portion for the n-bits
cache allocation on their own.
Add cache_portion_size() helper that calculates size of the cache
portion for the given number of bits and use it to replace the existing
span calculations. This also prepares for the new CAT test that will
need to determine the size of the cache portion also during results
processing.
Rename also 'cache_size' local variables to 'cache_total_size' to
prevent misinterpretations.

get_cache_size() does not modify cache_type so it could be const.
Mark cache_type const so that const char * can be passed to it. This
prevents warnings once many of the test parameters are marked const.

Callers of get_cbm_mask() are required to pass a string into which the
capacity bitmask (CBM) is read. Neither CAT nor CMT tests need the
bitmask as string but just convert it into an unsigned long value.
Another limitation is that the bit mask reader can only read
.../cbm_mask files.
Generalize the bit mask reading function into get_bit_mask() such that
it can be used to handle other files besides the .../cbm_mask and
handles the unsigned long conversion within get_bit_mask() using
fscanf(). Change get_cbm_mask() to use get_bit_mask() and rename it to
get_full_cbm() to better indicate what the function does.
Return error from get_full_cbm() if the bitmask is zero for some reason
because it makes the code more robust as the selftests naturally assume
the bitmask has some bits.
Also mark cache_type const while at it and remove useless comments that
are related to processing of CBM bits.

There are unnecessary nested calls in fill_buf.c:
- run_fill_buf() calls fill_cache()
- alloc_buffer() calls malloc_and_init_memory()
Simplify the code flow and remove those unnecessary call levels by
moving the called code inside the calling function and remove the
duplicated error print.
Resolve the difference in run_fill_buf() and fill_cache() parameter
name into 'buf_size' which is more descriptive than 'span'. Also, while
moving the allocation related code, rename 'p' into 'buf' to be
consistent in naming the variables.

The resctrl selftest code contains a number of perror() calls. Some of
them come with hash character and some don't. The kselftest framework
provides ksft_perror() that is compatible with test output formatting
so it should be used instead of adding custom hash signs.
Some perror() calls are too far away from anything that sets error.
For those call sites, ksft_print_msg() must be used instead.
Convert perror() to ksft_perror() or ksft_print_msg().
Other related changes:
- Remove hash signs
- Remove trailing stops & newlines from ksft_perror()
- Add terminating newlines for converted ksft_print_msg()
- Use consistent capitalization
- Small fixes/tweaks to typos & grammar of the messages
- Extract error printing out of PARENT_EXIT() to be able to
differentiate

resctrlfs.c contains mostly functions that interact in some way with
resctrl FS entries while functions inside resctrl_val.c deal with
measurements and benchmarking.
run_benchmark() is located in resctrlfs.c even though it's purpose
is not interacting with the resctrl FS but to execute cache checking
logic.
Move run_benchmark() to resctrl_val.c just before resctrl_val() that
makes use of run_benchmark(). Make run_benchmark() static since it's
not used between multiple files anymore.
Remove return comment from kernel-doc since the function is type void.

Feature check in validate_resctrl_feature_request() takes in the test
name string and maps that to what to check per test.
Pass resource and feature names to validate_resctrl_feature_request()
directly rather than deriving them from the test name inside the
function which makes the feature check easier to extend for new test
cases.
Use !! in the return statement to make the boolean conversion more
obvious even if it is not strictly necessary from correctness point of
view (to avoid it looking like the function is returning a freed
pointer).

_GNU_SOURCE is defined in resctrl.h. Defining _GNU_SOURCE has a large
impact on what gets defined when including headers either before or
after it. This can result in compile failures if .c file decides to
include a standard header file before resctrl.h.
It is safer to define _GNU_SOURCE in Makefile so it is always defined
regardless of in which order includes are done.

Benchmark command is used in multiple tests so it should not be
mutated by the tests but CMT test alters span argument. Due to the
order of tests (CMT test runs last), mutating the span argument in CMT
test does not trigger any real problems currently.
Mark benchmark_cmd strings as const and setup the benchmark command
using pointers. Because the benchmark command becomes const, the input
arguments can be used directly. Besides being simpler, using the input
arguments directly also removes the internal size restriction.
CMT test has to create a copy of the benchmark command before altering
the benchmark command.

struct resctrl_val_param contains span member. resctrl_val(), however,
never uses it because the value of span is embedded into the default
benchmark command and parsed from it by run_benchmark().
Remove span from resctrl_val_param. Provide DEFAULT_SPAN for the code
that needs it. CMT and CAT tests communicate span that is different
from the DEFAULT_SPAN between their internal functions which is
converted into passing it directly as a parameter.

Test name is passed to fill_buf functions so that they can loop around
buffer only once. This is required for CAT test case.
To loop around buffer only once, caller doesn't need to let fill_buf
know which test case it is. Instead, pass a boolean argument 'once'
which makes fill_buf more generic.
As run_benchmark() no longer needs to pass the test name to
run_fill_buf(), a few test running functions can be simplified to not
write the test name into the default benchmark_cmd. The has_ben
argument can also be removed now from those test running functions.
