Subject[PATCH v2 11/32] perf/x86/intel/cqm: add per-package RMID rotation
Date
This version of RMID rotation improves over original one by:
1. Being per-package. No need for IPIs to test for occupancy.
2. Since the monr hierarchy removed the potential conflicts between
events, the new RMID rotation logic does not need to check and
resolve conflicts.
3. No need to mantain an unused RMID as rotation_rmid, effectively
freeing one RMID per package.
4. Guarantee that monitored events and cgroups with a valid RMID keep
the RMID for an user configurable time: __cqm_min_mon_slice ms.
Previously, it was likely to receive a RMID in one execution of the
rotation logic just to have it removed in the next. That was
specially problematic in the presence of events conflict
(ie. cgroup events and thread events in a descendant cgroup).
5. Do not increase the dirty threshold unless strictly necessary to make
progress. Previous version simultaneously stole RMIDs and increased
the dirty threshold (the maximum number of cache lines with spurious
occupancy associated with a "clean" RMID). This version makes sure
that increasing the dirty threshold is the only way to make progress
in the RMID rotation (the case when too many RMID in limbo do not
drop occupancy despite having spent enough time in limbo) before
increasing the threshold.
This change reduces spurious occupancy as a source of error.
6. Do not steal RMIDs unnecesarily. Thanks to a more detailed
bookeeping, this patch guarantees that the number of RMIDs in limbo
do not exceed the number of RMIDs needed by pmonrs currently waiting
for an RMID.
7. Reuse dirty limbo RMIDs when appropriate. In this new version, a
stolen RMID remains referenced by its former pmonr owner until it is
reutilized by another pmonr or it is moved from limbo into the pool
of free RMIDs.
These RMIDs that are referenced and in limbo are not written into the
MSR_IA32_PQR_ASSOC msr, therefore, they have the chance to drop
occupancy as any other limbo RMID. If the pmonr with a limbo RMID is
to be activated, then it reuses its former RMID even if its still
dirty. The occupancy attributed to that RMID is part of the pmonr
occupancy and therefore reusing the RMID even when dirty decreases
the error of the read.
This feature decreases the negative impact of RMIDs that do not drop
occupancy in the efficiency of the rotation logic.

For an user perspective, the behavior of the new rotation logic is
controlled by SLO type parameters:
__cqm_min_mon_slice : Minimum time a monr is to be monitored
before being eligible by rotation logic to loss any of its RMIDs.
__cqm_max_wait_mon : Maximum time a monr can be deactivated
before forcing rotation logic to be more aggresive (stealing more
RMIDs per iteration).
__cqm_min_progress_rate: Minimum number of pmonrs that must be
activated per second to consider that rotation logic's progress
is acceptable.

Since the minimum progress rate is a SLO, the magnitude of the rotation
period (the rtimer_interval_ms) do not control the speed of RMID rotation,
it only controls the frequency at which rotation logic is executed.

+ * such limbo rmids rather than free ones since their residual occupancy
+ * is valid occupancy for the task/cgroup.
+ *
+ * Rotation works by taking away an RMID from a group (the old RMID),

+ * then wait for the old RMID to not be used (no cachelines tagged).
+ * This ensure that all cachelines are tagged with 'active' RMIDs. At
