Subject[BUG] Re: [PATCH 1/3] topology: Represent clusters of CPUs within a die
From
Hi,

It seems this set is:

"BUG: arch topology borken"
^code

on machines that don't actually have clusters, or provide a
representation which might be taken for a cluster. The Ampere Altra for
one. So, I guess its my job to relay what I was informed of when I
intially proposed something similar a few years back.

Neither the ACPI/PPTT spec nor the Arm architectural spec mandate the
concept of a "cluster" particularly in the form of a system with cores
sharing the L2, which IIRC is the case for the Kunpeng. And it tends to
be a shared L2 which gives the most bang for the buck (or was when I was
testing/benchmarking all this, on aarch64) from scheduler changes which
create cluster level scheduling domains. But OTOH, things like specJBB
didn't really like those smaller MC levels (which I suspect is hurt by
this change, without running a full benchmark suite, especially on
something like the above ampere, given what is happening to its
scheduling domains).

So, the one takeway I can give is this, the code below which is
attempting to create a cluster level should be a bit more intellegent
about whether there is an actual cluster. A first order approximation
might be adding a check to see if the node immediatly above the CPU
contains an L2 and that its shared. A better fix, of course is the
reason this wasn't previously done, and that is to convince the ACPI
commitee to standardize a CLUSTER level flag which could be utilized by
a firmware/machine manufactuer to decide whether cluster level
scheduling provides an advantage and simply not do it on machines which
don't flag CLUSTER levels because its not avantagious.


Thanks,
