[Xen-devel] [PATCH v9 09/25] x86: refactor psr: L3 CAT: set value: implement framework.



As set value flow is the most complicated one in psr, it will be
divided to some patches to make things clearer. This patch
implements the set value framework to show a whole picture firstly.

It also changes domctl interface to make it more general.

To make the set value flow be general and can support multiple features
at same time, it includes below steps:
1. Get COS ID that current domain is using.
2. Gather a value array to store all features current value
   into it and replace the current value of the feature which is
   being set to the new input value.
3. Find if there is already a COS ID on which all features'
   values are same as the array. Then, we can reuse this COS
   ID.
4. If fail to find, we need pick an available COS ID. Only COS ID which ref
   is 0 or 1 can be picked.
5. Write all features MSRs according to the COS ID.
6. Update ref according to COS ID.
7. Save the COS ID into current domain's psr_cos_ids[socket] so that we
   can know which COS the domain is using on the socket.

So, some functions are abstracted and the callback functions will be
implemented in next patches.

Here is an example to understand the process. The CPU supports
two featuers, e.g. L3 CAT and L2 CAT. User wants to set L3 CAT
of Dom1 to 0x1ff.
1. Get the old_cos of Dom1 which is 0. L3 CAT is the first
element of feature list. The COS registers values are below at
this time.
        -------------------------------
        | COS 0 | COS 1 | COS 2 | ... |
        -------------------------------
L3 CAT  | 0x7ff | ...   | ...   | ... |
        -------------------------------
L2 CAT  | 0xff  | ...   | ...   | ... |
        -------------------------------

2. Gather the value array and set new value into it:
val[0]: 0x1ff
val[1]: 0xff

3. It cannot find a matching COS.

4. Pick COS 1 to store the value set.

5. Write the COS 1 registers. The COS registers values are
changed to below now.
        -------------------------------
        | COS 0 | COS 1 | COS 2 | ... |
        -------------------------------
L3 CAT  | 0x7ff | 0x1ff | ...   | ... |
        -------------------------------
L2 CAT  | 0xff  | 0xff  | ...   | ... |
        -------------------------------

6. The ref[1] is increased to 1 because Dom1 is using it now.

7. Save 1 to Dom1's psr_cos_ids[socket].

Then, user wants to set L3 CAT of Dom2 to 0x1ff too. The old_cos
of Dom2 is 0 too. Repeat above flow.

The val array assembled is:
val[0]: 0x1ff
val[1]: 0xff

So, it can find a matching COS, COS 1. Then, it can reuse COS 1
for Dom2.

The ref[1] is increased to 2 now because both Dom1 and Dom2 are
using this COS ID. Set 1 to Dom2's psr_cos_ids[socket].

Another thing need to emphasize is the context switch. When context
switch happens, 'psr_ctxt_switch_to' is called by system to get
domain's COS ID from 'psr_cos_ids[socket]'. But 'psr_cos_ids[socket]'
is set at step 7 above. So, there are three scenarios, e.g.:
1. User calls domctl interface on Dom0 to set a COS ID 1 for Dom1 into its
   psr_cos_ids[]. Then, Dom1 is scheduled so that 'psr_ctxt_switch_to()' is
   called which makes COS ID 1 work. For this case, we do not any action.

2. Dom1 runs on CPU 1 and COS ID 1 is working. At same time, user calls domctl
   interface on Dom0 to set a new COS ID 2 for Dom1 into psr_cos_ids[]. After
   time slice ends, the Dom1 is scheduled again, the new COS ID 2 will work.

3. When a new COS ID is being set to psr_cos_ids[], 'psr_ctxt_switch_to()'
   is called to access the same psr_cos_ids[] member through 'psr_assoc_cos'.
   The COS ID is constrained by cos_mask so that it cannot exceeds the cos_max.
   So even the COS ID got here is wrong, it is still a workable ID (within
   cos_max). The functionality is still workable, only another valid CBM be
   effective for a short time. In next schedule, the correct CBM will take
   effect.

All these cases will not cause race condition and no harm to system. The PSR
features are to set cache capacity for a domain. The setting to cache is
progressively effective. When the cache setting becomes really effective, the
time slice to schedule a domain may have passed. So, even if a wrong COS ID is
used to set ASSOC, only another valid CBM be effective for a short time during
cache preparation time. The correct COS ID will take effect in a short time.
This does not affect cache capacity setting much.
