[PATCH 4/9] cpuidle-haltpoll: define arch_haltpoll_supported()
Posted by Ankur Arora 1 year, 7 months ago 
From: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com>

Right now kvm_para_has_hint(KVM_HINTS_REALTIME) is x86 only. In
pursuit of making cpuidle-haltpoll architecture independent, define
arch_haltpoll_supported() which handles the architectural check for
enabling haltpoll.

Move the (kvm_para_available() && kvm_para_has_hint(KVM_HINTS_REALTIME))
check to the x86 specific arch_haltpoll_supported().

Changelog:

  - s/arch_haltpoll_want/arch_haltpoll_supported/
  - change the check in haltpoll_want() from:
      (kvm_para_available() && arch_haltpoll_want()) || force;
    to
      arch_haltpoll_supported() || force;

Dropped Rafael's acked-by due to these changes.

I am not sure it's correct to call supported() considering that it's supposed to
always supported (via WFE or cpu_relax()) and it's not exactly what it is doing.
The function you were changing is more about whether it's default enabled or
not. So I think the old name in v4 is more appropriate i.e. arch_haltpoll_want()

Alternatively you could have it called arch_haltpoll_default_enabled() though
it's longer/verbose.

Though if you want a true supported() arch helper *I think* you need to make a
bigger change into introducing arch_haltpoll_supported() separate from
arch_haltpoll_want() where the former would ignore the .force=y modparam and
never be able to load if a given feature wasn't present e.g. prevent arm64
haltpoll loading be conditioned to arch_timer_evtstrm_available() being present.
Though I don't think that you want this AIUI

So, I thought about it some and the driver loading decision tree
should be:

1. bail out based on the value of boot_option_idle_override.
2. if arch_haltpoll_supported(), enable haltpoll
3. if cpuidle-haltpoll.force=1, enable haltpoll,

Note: in the posted versions, cpuidle-haltpoll.force is allowed to
override boot_option_idle_override, which is wrong. With that fixed
the x86 check should be:

bool arch_haltpoll_supported(void)
{
       return kvm_para_available() && kvm_para_has_hint(KVM_HINTS_REALTIME);
}

and arm64:

static inline bool arch_haltpoll_supported(void)
{
       /*
        * Ensure the event stream is available to provide a terminating
        * condition to the WFE in the poll loop.
        */
       return arch_timer_evtstrm_available();
}

Now, both of these fit reasonably well with arch_haltpoll_supported().
My personal preference for that is because it seems to me that the
architecture code should just deal with mechanism and not policy.
However, as you imply arch_haltpoll_supported() is a more loaded name
and given that the KVM side of arm64 haltpoll is not done yet, it's
best to have a more neutral label like arch_haltpoll_want() or
arch_haltpoll_do_enable().

Yeah I don't. I think the cpuidle-haltpoll.force=1, should be allowed to
override arch_haltpoll_supported(), so long as smp_cond_load_relaxed()
is well defined (as it is here).

It shouldn't, however, override the user's choice of boot_option_idle_override.
