From 5b7c4cabbb65f5c469464da6c5f614cbd7f730f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2023 18:24:12 -0800 Subject: Merge tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core: - Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb->head, avoid having to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use. - Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs. - Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers. Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers. - Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns. - Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on boot. - Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan. - Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack. - Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers. Protocols: - Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB). - Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range on socket by socket basis. - Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used. - Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path manager. - IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4). - Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986). - ICMP: add per-rate limit counters. - Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154. - Remove static WEP support. - Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate reporting. - WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client & AP). BPF: - Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure" precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type. - Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and timestamp metadata. - Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect metadata. - Improve x86 JIT's codegen for PROBE_MEM runtime error checks. - Remove the need for trace_printk_lock for bpf_trace_printk and bpf_trace_vprintk helpers. - Extend libbpf's bpf_tracing.h support for tracing arguments of kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case. - Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by livepatch and BPF. - Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in different time intervals. - Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64. - Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC. - Add __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs. - Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF memory accounting for container environments. Netfilter: - Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band /proc interface installed by this target. - Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist. Driver API: - Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right IRQ affinity on AMD platforms. - Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly. - Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress. - Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA) Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of shared medium Ethernet. - Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames. - Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET. - Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and factor out common parts of netlink operation handling. - Add TX frame aggregation parameters (for USB drivers). - Add a new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report TC (offload) warning messages with notifications for debug. - Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct. - Add support for per action HW stats in TC. - Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from a specific point in the action chain). - Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to using nl80211 interface instead. - Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling, including the definition of a new default value that will benefit CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.

Real world (workloads) + + +Description +=========== + +cpufreq-bench helps to test the condition of a given cpufreq governor. +For that purpose, it compares the performance governor to a configured +powersave module. + + +How it works +============ +You can specify load (100% CPU load) and sleep (0% CPU load) times in us which +will be run X time in a row (cycles): + + sleep=25000 + load=25000 + cycles=20 + +This part of the configuration file will create 25ms load/sleep turns, +repeated 20 times. + +Adding this: + sleep_step=25000 + load_step=25000 + rounds=5 +Will increase load and sleep time by 25ms 5 times. +Together you get following test: +25ms load/sleep time repeated 20 times (cycles). +50ms load/sleep time repeated 20 times (cycles). +.. +100ms load/sleep time repeated 20 times (cycles). + +First it is calibrated how long a specific CPU intensive calculation +takes on this machine and needs to be run in a loop using the performance +governor. +Then the above test runs are processed using the performance governor +and the governor to test. The time the calculation really needed +with the dynamic freq scaling governor is compared with the time needed +on full performance and you get the overall performance loss. + + +Example of expected results with ondemand governor: + +This shows expected results of the first two test run rounds from +above config, you there have: + +100% CPU load (load) | 0 % CPU load (sleep) | round + 25 ms | 25 ms | 1 + 50 ms | 50 ms | 2 + +For example if ondemand governor is configured to have a 50ms +sampling rate you get: + +In round 1, ondemand should have rather static 50% load and probably +won't ever switch up (as long as up_threshold is above). + +In round 2, if the ondemand sampling times exactly match the load/sleep +trigger of the cpufreq-bench, you will see no performance loss (compare with +below possible ondemand sample kick ins (1)): + +But if ondemand always kicks in in the middle of the load sleep cycles, it +will always see 50% loads and you get worst performance impact never +switching up (compare with below possible ondemand sample kick ins (2)):: + + 50 50 50 50ms ->time +load -----| |-----| |-----| |-----| + | | | | | | | +sleep |-----| |-----| |-----| |---- + |-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|---- ondemand sampling (1) + 100 0 100 0 100 0 100 load seen by ondemand(%) + |-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-- ondemand sampling (2) + 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 load seen by ondemand(%) + +You can easily test all kind of load/sleep times and check whether your +governor in average behaves as expected. + + +ToDo +==== + +Provide a gnuplot utility script for easy generation of plots to present +the outcome nicely. + + +cpufreq-bench Command Usage +=========================== +-l, --load= initial load time in us +-s, --sleep= initial sleep time in us +-x, --load-step= time to be added to load time, in us +-y, --sleep-step= time to be added to sleep time, in us +-c, --cpu= CPU Number to use, starting at 0 +-p, --prio= scheduler priority, HIGH, LOW or DEFAULT +-g, --governor= cpufreq governor to test +-n, --cycles= load/sleep cycles to get an average value to compare +-r, --rounds load/sleep rounds +-f, --file= config file to use +-o, --output= output dir, must exist +-v, --verbose verbose output on/off + +Due to the high priority, the application may not be responsible for some time. +After the benchmark, the logfile is saved in OUTPUTDIR/benchmark_TIMESTAMP.log + -- cgit v1.2.3
