As set value flow is the most complicated one in psr, it will be
divided to some patches to make things clearer. This patch
implements the set value framework to show a whole picture firstly.

It also changes domctl interface to make it more general.

To make the set value flow be general and can support multiple features
at same time, it includes below steps:
1. Get COS ID of current domain using.
2. Assemble a value array to store all features current value
   in it and replace the current value of the feature which is
   being set to the new input value.
3. Find if there is already a COS ID on which all features'
   values are same as the array. Then, we can reuse this COS
   ID.
4. If fail to find, we need pick an available COS ID. Only COS ID which ref
   is 0 or 1 can be picked.
5. Write all features MSRs according to the COS ID.
6. Update ref according to COS ID.
7. Save the COS ID into current domain's psr_cos_ids[socket] so that we
   can know which COS the domain is using on the socket.

So, some functions are abstracted and the callback functions will be
implemented in next patches.

Here is an example to understand the process. The CPU supports
two featuers, e.g. L3 CAT and L2 CAT. user wants to set L3 CAT
of Dom1 to 0x1ff.
1. Get the old_cos of Dom1 which is 0. L3 CAT is the first
element of feature list. The COS registers values are below at
this time.
        -------------------------------
        | COS 0 | COS 1 | COS 2 | ... |
        -------------------------------
L3 CAT  | 0x7ff | ...   | ...   | ... |
        -------------------------------
L2 CAT  | 0xff  | ...   | ...   | ... |
        -------------------------------

2. Assemble The value array to be:
val[0]: 0x1ff
val[1]: 0xff

3. It cannot find a matching COS.

4. Allocate COS 1 to store the value set.

5. Write the COS 1 registers. The COS registers values are
changed to below now.
        -------------------------------
        | COS 0 | COS 1 | COS 2 | ... |
        -------------------------------
L3 CAT  | 0x7ff | 0x1ff | ...   | ... |
        -------------------------------
L2 CAT  | 0xff  | 0xff  | ...   | ... |
        -------------------------------

6. The ref[1] is increased to 1 because Dom1 is using it now.

7. Save 1 to Dom1's psr_cos_ids[socket].

Then, user wants to set L3 CAT of Dom2 to 0x1ff too. The old_cos
of Dom2 is 0 too. Repeat above flow.

The val array assembled is:
val[0]: 0x1ff
val[1]: 0xff

So, it can find a matching COS, COS 1. Then, it can reuse COS 1
for Dom2.

The ref[1] is increased to 2 now because both Dom1 and Dom2 are
using this COS ID. Set 1 to Dom2's psr_cos_ids[socket].

IMHO it would be far better to use goto style error handling in such a
complex function. You can avoid missing one of the exit paths when
refactoring this function later.

How could this happen? This function is the setter of cos, it is a bug
if it ever sets a value larger than MAX_COS_REG_CNT.

Break this into two lines. The assignment doesn't have to happen within
if().

Ok, I will consider to use goto for error handling.

You are right. This should not happen. This check is just a protection. If you
think it is not necessary, I will remove it.

In which case  - make in an ASSERT() instead of an if().

If cos == 0 you can overflow ref[0].

An ASSERT that the domain is locked would be better than a comment.

If cos == 0, it is possible to reach this with info->cos_ref[cos] == 0, in
which case you are overflowing it?

COS[0] stores the default value only. The value in it cannot be changed. So we
do not check its ref.

psr_free_cos is called by psr_domain_free which is finally called by
put_domain().

    #define put_domain(_d) \
        if ( atomic_dec_and_test(&(_d)->refcnt) ) domain_destroy(_d)

So, it is protected by refcnt.

Do you think it is necessary to check refcnt here? If codes outside have
something error to breake this protection, we cannot assure if below codes
go wrong even by ASSERT check here.

As above explanation, we do not care the ref count of COS[0].

What is the "using" here supposed to mean?

insert_new_val() ? And when talking about arrays, as indicated
before, please use [] notation instead of pointers. This is
particularly relevant when the function name suggests that it
would be "val" which gets inserted, but aiui it is really ...

... "m". Therefore please also consider better naming of parameters.

Is this function intended you write just one MSR, or potentially many?
In the latter case the name would perhaps better be "write_psr_msrs()".

Doesn't this need to be >= ? And isn't this happening an indication
of a bug, i.e. shouldn't there be an ASSERT_UNREACHABLE() ahead
of the return?

Once again I don't think the comment is very useful - what you say

You could save a level of indentation if you inverted the outer if()'s
condition and made the code above "else if".

I think I had been confused by this already before, and I continue to
be: How could ref be "changed to 1" here, and then have said
meaning? If you refer to the value after a possible decrement, the
value then being 1 means there is another domain using it. Hence ...

... I think this is not generally correct either: A COS with ref 1 can
only be re-used it that's old_cos. In all other cases only ref 0 ones
are candidates. But anyway I think the comment belongs into the
function, which would then allow for seeing it be added along with
the actual code, making it possible to check that both match up.

These recurring error paths could certainly do with folding.

So the domain has not been paused, i.e. some of its vCPU-s may
be running on other pCPU-s (including ones on the socket in
question). How come it is safe to update this value here?

As in an earlier patch I've asked for this check to be removed, I
think you will need to add a check on socket_info to be non-
NULL somewhere in this function.

The ASSERT() is useful only inside the locked region.

My meaning is to get the cos id that current domain is using. Sorry for this.

Sorry, the expression is not good. In fact, only COS ID which ref is 1 or 0
can be allocated to current domain. If old_cos is not 0 and its ref==1 means
that only current domain is using this old_cos ID. So, this old_cos ID is
certainly can be reused by current domain. Ref==0 means there is no any domain
using this COS ID. So it can be used too.

I will polish the comments.

This is a domctl operation. It is protected by domctl_lock which is locked in

In which case - why is the value being passed by pointer?

But that lock doesn't keep the subject domain's vCPU-s from
running on other pCPU-s at the same time.

Please don't - loop invariants should be put outside of loops.

Oh, yes, you should. But the check should be added here instead
of in the earlier patch.

Will change it. My original meaning is, for example, when setting L3 CAT, only
one MSR is set.

Yes, you are right. But only 'psr_ctxt_switch_to()' can access
psr_cos_ids[socket] when psr_cos_ids[socket] is being set. 'psr_ctxt_switch_to()'
read the cos and set it to ASSOC register. Context switch is short so that the
correct cos can be set to ASSOC register in a short time.

That's a reply you should never give: No matter how short a time
window, eventually it'll be hit. A very good example of this is the
VMCS race we've recently fixed (commit 2f4d2198a9), and which
had been there for years until it was first observed (and after
that it took another year or so until we've actually managed to
figure out what's going on).

Sorry for that. Let me explain in details.

There are three scenarios. E.g.
1. User calls domctl interface on Dom0 to set a COS ID 1 for Dom1 into its
   psr_cos_ids[]. Then, Dom1 is scheduled so that 'psr_ctxt_switch_to()' is
   called which makes COS ID 1 work. For this case, we do not any action.

2. Dom1 runs on CPU 1 and COS ID 1 is working. At same time, user calls domctl
   interface on Dom0 to set a new COS ID 2 for Dom1 into psr_cos_ids[]. After
   time slice ends, the Dom1 is scheduled again, the new COS ID 2 will work.
   For this case, we don't need any action either.

3. When a new COS ID is being set to psr_cos_ids[], 'psr_ctxt_switch_to()'
   is called to access the same psr_cos_ids[] member through 'psr_assoc_cos'.
   The COS ID is constrained by cos_mask so that it cannot exceeds the cos_max.
   So even the COS ID got here is wrong, it is still a workable ID (within
   cos_max). The functionality is still workable but of course the COS ID may
   not be the one that user intends to use.

If you think scenario 3 is not acceptable, I suggest to add read write lock as
below. How do you think? Thanks!

static void psr_assoc_cos()
{
    read_lock(&rwlock);
    *reg = (*reg & ~cos_mask) |
            (((uint64_t)cos << PSR_ASSOC_REG_SHIFT) & cos_mask);
    read_unlock(&rwlock);
}

int psr_set_val()
{
    ......
    write_lock(&rwlock);
    d->arch.psr_cos_ids[socket] = cos;
    write_unlock(&rwlock);
    ......
}

And that's because of? I'd think the domctl caller can expect the new COS ID
to take effect immediately for all vCPU-s of the target domain.

I don't see how that would help. The domain could then still use a stale COS
ID. I see only two valid approaches: Either you pause the domain during the
update, or you IPI CPUs running vCPU-s of that domain to reload their MSRs.
The latter could become tricky afaict ...

Well, I did say "tricky", didn't I? What you suggest still leaves a
time window, as the result of cpupool_domain_cpumask() may
change behind your back. The simplest (and least tricky) solution
would be to IPI all CPUs, and check whether any adjustment is
needed inside the handler. However, you'd then need to make
sure there's no context switch related race, similar to the VMCS
one I've referred you to as example.

Sorry, I may not fully understand your meaning. My thoughts are below.
1. We set 'd->arch.psr_cos_ids[socket] = cos;' in 'psr_set_val';

2. After that, we get valid cpumask through cpupool_domain_cpumask();

3. If the actual valid cpumask changed after that, the new cpu is valid so
   that the context switch happens. Then 'psr_ctxt_switch_to' is called to
   update the new cpu's ASSOC register with the new COS ID which has been
   set in step 1.

4. Send IPI to all cpus on cpumask got in step 2. They will update their
   ASSOC registers according to their domains psr_cos_ids[].

So I think this flow can cover all cpus which ASSOC registers need be updated.

What is your idea? Thanks!

You writing it down this way makes me realize that the IPI approach
can't work this way at all: It leaves a time window (between 1 and 2)
where the domain may have vCPU-s running with the wrong COS ID.
I think pausing the vCPU is unavoidable, unless it can be explained
that running with the wrong COS ID for a brief period of time is not
really a problem. I do realize that the pausing approach has its own
difficulty wrt Dom0, but I think that's solvable (e.g. by doing the
actual work in a tasklet instead of in the context of a Dom0 vCPU).

I have below thoughts.
1. We can use domain_pause for all domains except Dom0 to update COS ID.
2. PSR features are to set cache capacity for a domain. The setting to
   cache is progressively effective. When the cache setting becomes really
   effective, the time slice to schedule a domain may have passed. Moreover,
   even a wrong COS ID is used to set ASSOC, only another CBM be effective
   for a short time. In next Dom0 schedule, the correct CBM will take effect.
   So can we just leave Dom0 setting as current implementation?

Thanks,

If at all possible I'd like to avoid special casing Dom0. Please keep in
mind that in disaggregated environments domctl-s may be issued by
other than Dom0. So either the argumentation above to use the
current implementation is okay for all domains (and is reasonable to
expect to hold for possible future extensions), or all domains need
to be taken care of by a changed approach.
