s390/vtime: fix average steal time calculation

2024-03-26T22:22:24Z

[ Upstream commit 367c50f78451d3bd7ad70bc5c89f9ba6dec46ca9 ] Current average steal timer calculation produces volatile and inflated values. The only user of this value is KVM so far and it uses that to decide whether or not to yield the vCPU which is seeing steal time. KVM compares average steal timer to a threshold and if the threshold is past then it does not allow CPU polling and yields it to host, else it keeps the CPU by polling. Since KVM's steal time threshold is very low by default (%10) it most likely is not effected much by the bloated average steal timer values because the operating region is pretty small. However there might be new users in the future who might rely on this number. Fix average steal timer calculation by changing the formula from: avg_steal_timer = avg_steal_timer / 2 + steal_timer; to the following: avg_steal_timer = (avg_steal_timer + steal_timer) / 2; This ensures that avg_steal_timer is actually a naive average of steal timer values. It now closely follows steal timer values but of course in a smoother manner.

s390/vtime: fix increased steal time accounting

2021-03-24T10:26:35Z

commit d54cb7d54877d529bc1e0e1f47a3dd082f73add3 upstream. Commit 152e9b8676c6e ("s390/vtime: steal time exponential moving average") inadvertently changed the input value for account_steal_time() from "cputime_to_nsecs(steal)" to just "steal", resulting in broken increased steal time accounting. Fix this by changing it back to "cputime_to_nsecs(steal)".

s390/vtime: fix inline assembly clobber list

2021-03-04T09:26:50Z

commit b29c5093820d333eef22f58cd04ec0d089059c39 upstream. The stck/stckf instruction used within the inline assembly within do_account_vtime() changes the condition code. This is not reflected with the clobber list, and therefore might result in incorrect code generation. It seems unlikely that the compiler could generate incorrect code considering the surrounding C code, but it must still be fixed.

s390: correct some inline assembly constraints

2019-04-17T08:40:57Z

Inline assembly code changed in this patch should really use "Q" constraint "Memory reference without index register and with short displacement". The kernel build with kasan instrumentation enabled might occasionally break otherwise (due to stack instrumentation). Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/vtime: steal time exponential moving average

2019-03-06T13:59:50Z

To be able to judge the current overcommitment ratio for a CPU add a lowcore field with the exponential moving average of the steal time. The average is updated every tick. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/cpu_mf: replace stcctm5() with the stcctm() function

2019-02-22T08:19:53Z

Remove the stcctm5() function to extract counters from the MT-diagnostic counter set with the stcctm() function. For readability, introduce an enum to map the counter sets names to respective numbers for the stcctm instruction. Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390: kernel: add SPDX identifiers to the remaining files

2017-11-24T14:37:12Z

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the arch/s390/kernel/ files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

s390/cputime: simplify account_system_index_scaled

2017-06-12T14:25:57Z

The account_system_index_scaled gets two cputime values, a raw value derived from CPU timer deltas and a scaled value. The scaled value is always calculated from the raw value, the code can be simplified by moving the scale_vtime call into account_system_index_scaled. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
