[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/3] drm/i915/perf: rework aging tail workaround
Umesh Nerlige Ramappa

Thu Mar 19 22:52:01 UTC 2020
From: Lionel Landwerlin <lionel.g.landwerlin at intel.com>
We're about to introduce an options to open the perf stream, giving
the user ability to configure how often it wants the kernel to poll
the OA registers for available data.
Right now the workaround against the OA tail pointer race condition
requires at least twice the internal kernel polling timer to make any
data available.
This changes introduce checks on the OA data written into the circular
buffer to make as much data as possible available on the first
iteration of the polling timer.
v2: Use OA_TAKEN macro without the gtt_offset (Lionel)
v3: (Umesh)
- Rebase
- Change report to report32 from below review
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/330704/?series=66697&rev=1
v4: (Ashutosh, Lionel)
- Fix checkpatch errors
- Fix aging_timestamp initialization
- Check for only one valid landed report
- Fix check for unlanded report

* Although this can be observed explicitly while copying reports to userspace
* by checking for a zeroed report-id field in tail reports, we want to account
- * for this earlier, as part of the oa_buffer_check to avoid lots of redundant
- * read() attempts.
- *
- * In effect we define a tail pointer for reading that lags the real tail
- * pointer by at least %OA_TAIL_MARGIN_NSEC nanoseconds, which gives enough
- * time for the corresponding reports to become visible to the CPU.
- *
- * To manage this we actually track two tail pointers:
- * 1) An 'aging' tail with an associated timestamp that is tracked until we
- * can trust the corresponding data is visible to the CPU; at which point
- * it is considered 'aged'.
- * 2) An 'aged' tail that can be used for read()ing.
- *
- * The two separate pointers let us decouple read()s from tail pointer aging.
- *
- * The tail pointers are checked and updated at a limited rate within a hrtimer
- * callback (the same callback that is used for delivering EPOLLIN events)
- *
- * Initially the tails are marked invalid with %INVALID_TAIL_PTR which
- * indicates that an updated tail pointer is needed.
+ * for this earlier, as part of the oa_buffer_check_unlocked to avoid lots of
+ * redundant read() attempts.
+ *
+ * We workaround this issue in oa_buffer_check_unlocked() by reading the reports
+ * in the OA buffer, starting from the tail reported by the HW until we find 2
+ * consecutive reports with their first 2 dwords of not at 0. Those dwords are
+ * also set to 0 once read and the whole buffer is cleared upon OA buffer
+ * initialization. The first dword is the reason for this report while the
+ * second is the timestamp, making the chances of having those 2 fields at 0
+ * fairly unlikely. A more detailed explanation is available in
+ * oa_buffer_check_unlocked().
*
* Most of the implementation details for this workaround are in
* oa_buffer_check_unlocked() and _append_oa_reports()
