      cpufreq: ACPI: Update arch scale-invariance max perf ratio if CPPC is not there · d11a1d08
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      If the maximum performance level taken for computing the
      arch_max_freq_ratio value used in the x86 scale-invariance code is
      higher than the one corresponding to the cpuinfo.max_freq value
      coming from the acpi_cpufreq driver, the scale-invariant utilization
      falls below 100% even if the CPU runs at cpuinfo.max_freq or slightly
      faster, which causes the schedutil governor to select a frequency
      below cpuinfo.max_freq.  That frequency corresponds to a frequency
      table entry below the maximum performance level necessary to get to
      the "boost" range of CPU frequencies which prevents "boost"
      frequencies from being used in some workloads.
      
      While this issue is related to scale-invariance, it may be amplified
      by commit db865272 ("cpufreq: Avoid configuring old governors as
      default with intel_pstate") from the 5.10 development cycle which
      made it extremely easy to default to schedutil even if the preferred
      driver is acpi_cpufreq as long as intel_pstate is built too, because
      the mere presence of the latter effectively removes the ondemand
      governor from the defaults.  Distro kernels are likely to include
      both intel_pstate and acpi_cpufreq on x86, so their users who cannot
      use intel_pstate or choose to use acpi_cpufreq may easily be
      affectecd by this issue.
      
      If CPPC is available, it can be used to address this issue by
      extending the frequency tables created by acpi_cpufreq to cover the
      entire available frequency range (including "boost" frequencies) for
      each CPU, but if CPPC is not there, acpi_cpufreq has no idea what
      the maximum "boost" frequency is and the frequency tables created by
      it cannot be extended in a meaningful way, so in that case make it
      ask the arch scale-invariance code to to use the "nominal" performance
      level for CPU utilization scaling in order to avoid the issue at hand.

      cpufreq: ACPI: Extend frequency tables to cover boost frequencies · 3c55e94c
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      A severe performance regression on AMD EPYC processors when using
      the schedutil scaling governor was discovered by Phoronix.com and
      attributed to the following commits:
      
        41ea6672 ("x86, sched: Calculate frequency invariance for AMD
        systems")
      
        976df7e5 ("x86, sched: Use midpoint of max_boost and max_P for
        frequency invariance on AMD EPYC")
      
      The source of the problem is that the maximum performance level taken
      for computing the arch_max_freq_ratio value used in the x86 scale-
      invariance code is higher than the one corresponding to the
      cpuinfo.max_freq value coming from the acpi_cpufreq driver.
      
      This effectively causes the scale-invariant utilization to fall below
      100% even if the CPU runs at cpuinfo.max_freq or slightly faster, so
      the schedutil governor selects a frequency below cpuinfo.max_freq
      then.  That frequency corresponds to a frequency table entry below
      the maximum performance level necessary to get to the "boost" range
      of CPU frequencies.
      
      However, if the cpuinfo.max_freq value coming from acpi_cpufreq was
      higher, the schedutil governor would select higher frequencies which
      in turn would allow acpi_cpufreq to set more adequate performance
      levels and to get to the "boost" range of CPU frequencies more often.
      
      This issue affects any systems where acpi_cpufreq is used and the
      "boost" (or "turbo") frequencies are enabled, not just AMD EPYC.
      Moreover, commit db865272 ("cpufreq: Avoid configuring old
      governors as default with intel_pstate") from the 5.10 development
      cycle made it extremely easy to default to schedutil even if the
      preferred driver is acpi_cpufreq as long as intel_pstate is built
      too, because the mere presence of the latter effectively removes the
      ondemand governor from the defaults.  Distro kernels are likely to
      include both intel_pstate and acpi_cpufreq on x86, so their users
      who cannot use intel_pstate or choose to use acpi_cpufreq may
      easily be affectecd by this issue.
      
      To address this issue, extend the frequency table constructed by
      acpi_cpufreq for each CPU to cover the entire range of available
      frequencies (including the "boost" ones) if CPPC is available and
      indicates that "boost" (or "turbo") frequencies are enabled.  That
      causes cpuinfo.max_freq to become the maximum "boost" frequency of
      the given CPU (instead of the maximum frequency returned by the ACPI
      _PSS object that corresponds to the "nominal" performance level).
      
      Fixes: 41ea6672 ("x86, sched: Calculate frequency invariance for AMD systems")
      Fixes: 976df7e5 ("x86, sched: Use midpoint of max_boost and max_P for frequency invariance on AMD EPYC")

       "A fix for a crash scenario that has been present since the initial
        merge, a minor regression in sysfs attribute visibility, and a fix for
        some flexible array warnings.
      
        The bulk of this pull is an update to the libnvdimm unit test
        infrastructure to test non-ACPI platforms. Given there is zero
        regression risk for test updates, and the tests enable validation of
        bits headed towards the next merge window, I saw no reason to hold the
        new tests back. Santosh originally submitted this before the v5.11
        window opened.
      
        Summary:
      
         - Fix a crash when sysfs accesses race 'dimm' driver probe/remove.

      x86/efi: Remove EFI PGD build time checks · 816ef8d7
      Borislav Petkov authored
      With CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL, CONFIG_UBSAN and CONFIG_UBSAN_UNSIGNED_OVERFLOW
      enabled, clang fails the build with
      
        x86_64-linux-ld: arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.o: in function `efi_sync_low_kernel_mappings':
        efi_64.c:(.text+0x22c): undefined reference to `__compiletime_assert_354'
      
      which happens due to -fsanitize=unsigned-integer-overflow being enabled:
      
        -fsanitize=unsigned-integer-overflow: Unsigned integer overflow, where
        the result of an unsigned integer computation cannot be represented
        in its type. Unlike signed integer overflow, this is not undefined
        behavior, but it is often unintentional. This sanitizer does not check
        for lossy implicit conversions performed before such a computation
        (see -fsanitize=implicit-conversion).
      
      and that fires when the (intentional) EFI_VA_START/END defines overflow
      an unsigned long, leading to the assertion expressions not getting
      optimized away (on GCC they do)...
      
      However, those checks are superfluous: the runtime services mapping
      code already makes sure the ranges don't overshoot EFI_VA_END as the
      EFI mapping range is hardcoded. On each runtime services call, it is
      switched to the EFI-specific PGD and even if mappings manage to escape
      that last PGD, this won't remain unnoticed for long.
      
      So rip them out.
