x86/resctrl: Add missing resctrl initialization for Hygon

2026-02-06T15:40:01+00:00

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()-> __rdt_get_mem_config_amd():
     rdt_resource::membw,alloc_capable
     hw_res::num_closid

 - rdt_init_res_defs()->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.

x86/resctrl: Fix memory bandwidth counter width for Hygon

2026-02-06T15:40:01+00:00

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.

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

2025-12-06T21:08:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 15292f1b4c55a3a7c940dbcb6cb8793871ed3d92 ]

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 > /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_groups/test1/tasks

   $cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_groups/test1/mon_data/mon_L3_*/mbm_total_bytes
   21323            <- Total bytes on domain 0
   "Unavailable"    <- 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          <- Total bytes on domain 0
   4545             <- 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"    <- Total bytes on domain 0
   434341           <- 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  <- Overflow on domain 0
    3232332         <- 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."

x86/resctrl: Annotate get_mem_config() functions as __init

2024-10-22T13:39:29+00:00

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.) -> 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.

x86/resctrl: Only show tasks' pid in current pid namespace

2023-07-27T06:43:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2997d94b5dd0e8b10076f5e0b6f18410c73e28bd ]

When writing a task id to the "tasks" file in an rdtgroup,
rdtgroup_tasks_write() treats the pid as a number in the current pid
namespace. But when reading the "tasks" file, rdtgroup_tasks_show() shows
the list of global pids from the init namespace, which is confusing and
incorrect.

To be more robust, let the "tasks" file only show pids in the current pid
namespace.

x86/resctl: fix scheduler confusion with 'current'

2023-03-11T15:40:19+00:00

commit 7fef099702527c3b2c5234a2ea6a24411485a13a upstream.

The implementation of 'current' on x86 is very intentionally special: it
is a very common thing to look up, and it uses 'this_cpu_read_stable()'
to get the current thread pointer efficiently from per-cpu storage.

And the keyword in there is 'stable': the current thread pointer never
changes as far as a single thread is concerned.  Even if when a thread
is preempted, or moved to another CPU, or even across an explicit call
'schedule()' that thread will still have the same value for 'current'.

It is, after all, the kernel base pointer to thread-local storage.
That's why it's stable to begin with, but it's also why it's important
enough that we have that special 'this_cpu_read_stable()' access for it.

So this is all done very intentionally to allow the compiler to treat
'current' as a value that never visibly changes, so that the compiler
can do CSE and combine multiple different 'current' accesses into one.

However, there is obviously one very special situation when the
currently running thread does actually change: inside the scheduler
itself.

So the scheduler code paths are special, and do not have a 'current'
thread at all.  Instead there are _two_ threads: the previous and the
next thread - typically called 'prev' and 'next' (or prev_p/next_p)
internally.

So this is all actually quite straightforward and simple, and not all
that complicated.

Except for when you then have special code that is run in scheduler
context, that code then has to be aware that 'current' isn't really a
valid thing.  Did you mean 'prev'? Did you mean 'next'?

In fact, even if then look at the code, and you use 'current' after the
new value has been assigned to the percpu variable, we have explicitly
told the compiler that 'current' is magical and always stable.  So the
compiler is quite free to use an older (or newer) value of 'current',
and the actual assignment to the percpu storage is not relevant even if
it might look that way.

Which is exactly what happened in the resctl code, that blithely used
'current' in '__resctrl_sched_in()' when it really wanted the new
process state (as implied by the name: we're scheduling 'into' that new
resctl state).  And clang would end up just using the old thread pointer
value at least in some configurations.

This could have happened with gcc too, and purely depends on random
compiler details.  Clang just seems to have been more aggressive about
moving the read of the per-cpu current_task pointer around.

The fix is trivial: just make the resctl code adhere to the scheduler
rules of using the prev/next thread pointer explicitly, instead of using
'current' in a situation where it just wasn't valid.

That same code is then also used outside of the scheduler context (when
a thread resctl state is explicitly changed), and then we will just pass
in 'current' as that pointer, of course.  There is no ambiguity in that
case.

The fix may be trivial, but noticing and figuring out what went wrong
was not.  The credit for that goes to Stephane Eranian.

x86/resctrl: Apply READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE to task_struct.{rmid,closid}

commit 6d3b47ddffed70006cf4ba360eef61e9ce097d8f upstream.

A CPU's current task can have its {closid, rmid} fields read locally
while they are being concurrently written to from another CPU.
This can happen anytime __resctrl_sched_in() races with either
__rdtgroup_move_task() or rdt_move_group_tasks().

Prevent load / store tearing for those accesses by giving them the
READ_ONCE() / WRITE_ONCE() treatment.

x86/resctrl: Fix task CLOSID/RMID update race

2023-01-18T10:45:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit fe1f0714385fbcf76b0cbceb02b7277d842014fc ]

When the user moves a running task to a new rdtgroup using the task's
file interface or by deleting its rdtgroup, the resulting change in
CLOSID/RMID must be immediately propagated to the PQR_ASSOC MSR on the
task(s) CPUs.

x86 allows reordering loads with prior stores, so if the task starts
running between a task_curr() check that the CPU hoisted before the
stores in the CLOSID/RMID update then it can start running with the old
CLOSID/RMID until it is switched again because __rdtgroup_move_task()
failed to determine that it needs to be interrupted to obtain the new
CLOSID/RMID.

Refer to the diagram below:

CPU 0                                   CPU 1
-----                                   -----
__rdtgroup_move_task():
  curr <- t1->cpu->rq->curr
                                        __schedule():
                                          rq->curr <- t1
                                        resctrl_sched_in():
                                          t1->{closid,rmid} -> {1,1}
  t1->{closid,rmid} <- {2,2}
  if (curr == t1) // false
   IPI(t1->cpu)

A similar race impacts rdt_move_group_tasks(), which updates tasks in a
deleted rdtgroup.

In both cases, use smp_mb() to order the task_struct::{closid,rmid}
stores before the loads in task_curr().  In particular, in the
rdt_move_group_tasks() case, simply execute an smp_mb() on every
iteration with a matching task.

It is possible to use a single smp_mb() in rdt_move_group_tasks(), but
this would require two passes and a means of remembering which
task_structs were updated in the first loop. However, benchmarking
results below showed too little performance impact in the simple
approach to justify implementing the two-pass approach.

Times below were collected using `perf stat` to measure the time to
remove a group containing a 1600-task, parallel workload.

x86/resctrl: Use task_curr() instead of task_struct->on_cpu to prevent unnecessary IPI

2023-01-18T10:45:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit e0ad6dc8969f790f14bddcfd7ea284b7e5f88a16 ]

James reported in [1] that there could be two tasks running on the same CPU
with task_struct->on_cpu set. Using task_struct->on_cpu as a test if a task
is running on a CPU may thus match the old task for a CPU while the
scheduler is running and IPI it unnecessarily.

task_curr() is the correct helper to use. While doing so move the #ifdef
check of the CONFIG_SMP symbol to be a C conditional used to determine
if this helper should be used to ensure the code is always checked for
correctness by the compiler.
