The Frequency Invariance Engine (FIE) is providing a frequency
scaling correction factor that helps achieve more accurate
load-tracking.
So far, for arm and arm64 platforms, this scale factor has been
obtained based on the ratio between the current frequency and the
maximum supported frequency recorded by the cpufreq policy. The
setting of this scale factor is triggered from cpufreq drivers by
calling arch_set_freq_scale. The current frequency used in computation
is the frequency requested by a governor, but it may not be the
frequency that was implemented by the platform.
This correction factor can also be obtained using a core counter and a
constant counter to get information on the performance (frequency based
only) obtained in a period of time. This will more accurately reflect
the actual current frequency of the CPU, compared with the alternative
implementation that reflects the request of a performance level from
the OS.
Therefore, implement arch_scale_freq_tick to use activity monitors, if
present, for the computation of the frequency scale factor.
The use of AMU counters depends on:
- CONFIG_ARM64_AMU_EXTN - depents on the AMU extension being present
- CONFIG_CPU_FREQ - the current frequency obtained using counter
information is divided by the maximum frequency obtained from the
cpufreq policy.
While it is possible to have a combination of CPUs in the system with
and without support for activity monitors, the use of counters for
frequency invariance is only enabled for a CPU if all related CPUs
(CPUs in the same frequency domain) support and have enabled the core
and constant activity monitor counters. In this way, there is a clear
separation between the policies for which arch_set_freq_scale (cpufreq
based FIE) is used, and the policies for which arch_scale_freq_tick
(counter based FIE) is used to set the frequency scale factor. For
this purpose, a late_initcall_sync is registered to trigger validation
work for policies that will enable or disable the use of AMU counters
for frequency invariance. If CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is not defined, the use
of counters is enabled on all CPUs only if all possible CPUs correctly
support the necessary counters.

Commit 37c3ec2d81 ("arm64: topology: divorce MC scheduling domain from
core_siblings") selected the smallest of LLC, socket siblings, and NUMA
node siblings to ensure that the sched domain we build for the MC layer
isn't larger than the DIE above it or it's shrunk to the socket or NUMA
node if LLC exist acrosis NUMA node/chiplets.
Commit acd32e52e4e0 ("arm64: topology: Avoid checking numa mask for
scheduler MC selection") reverted the NUMA siblings checks since the
CPU topology masks weren't updated on hotplug at that time.
This patch re-introduces numa mask check as the CPU and NUMA topology
is now updated in hotplug paths. Effectively, this patch does the
partial revert of commit acd32e52e4e0.

It's incorrect to iterate over all the possible CPUs to update the
sibling masks when any CPU is hotplugged in. In case the topology
siblings masks of the CPU is removed when is it hotplugged out, we
end up updating those masks when one of it's sibling is powered up
again. This will provide inconsistent view.
Further, since the CPU calling update_sibling_masks is yet to be set
online, there's no need to compare itself with each online CPU when
updating the siblings masks.
This patch restricts updation of sibling masks only for CPUs that are
already online. It also the drops the unnecessary cpuid check.

The numa mask subset check can often lead to system hang or crash during
CPU hotplug and system suspend operation if NUMA is disabled. This is
mostly observed on HMP systems where the CPU compute capacities are
different and ends up in different scheduler domains. Since
cpumask_of_node is returned instead core_sibling, the scheduler is
confused with incorrect cpumasks(e.g. one CPU in two different sched
domains at the same time) on CPU hotplug.
Lets disable the NUMA siblings checks for the time being, as NUMA in
socket machines have LLC's that will assure that the scheduler topology
isn't "borken".
The NUMA check exists to assure that if a LLC within a socket crosses
NUMA nodes/chiplets the scheduler domains remain consistent. This code will
likely have to be re-enabled in the near future once the NUMA mask story
is sorted. At the moment its not necessary because the NUMA in socket
machines LLC's are contained within the NUMA domains.
Further, as a defensive mechanism during hot-plug, lets assure that the
LLC siblings are also masked.

Now that we have an accurate view of the physical topology
we need to represent it correctly to the scheduler. Generally MC
should equal the LLC in the system, but there are a number of
special cases that need to be dealt with.
In the case of NUMA in socket, we need to assure that the sched
domain we build for the MC layer isn't larger than the DIE above it.
Similarly for LLC's that might exist in cross socket interconnect or
directory hardware we need to assure that MC is shrunk to the socket
or NUMA node.
This patch builds a sibling mask for the LLC, and then picks the
smallest of LLC, socket siblings, or NUMA node siblings, which
gives us the behavior described above. This is ever so slightly
different than the similar alternative where we look for a cache
layer less than or equal to the socket/NUMA siblings.
The logic to pick the MC layer affects all arm64 machines, but
only changes the behavior for DT/MPIDR systems if the NUMA domain
is smaller than the core siblings (generally set to the cluster).
Potentially this fixes a possible bug in DT systems, but really
it only affects ACPI systems where the core siblings is correctly
set to the socket siblings. Thus all currently available ACPI
systems should have MC equal to LLC, including the NUMA in socket
machines where the LLC is partitioned between the NUMA nodes.

The package_id is flagged in the tree and can be found by calling

The only requirement the scheduler has on cluster IDs is that they must
be unique. When enumerating the topology based on MPIDR information the
kernel currently generates cluster IDs by using the first level of
affinity above the core ID (either level one or two depending on if the
core has multiple threads) however the ARMv8 architecture allows for up
to three levels of affinity. This means that an ARMv8 system may
contain cores which have MPIDRs identical other than affinity level
three which with current code will cause us to report multiple cores
with the same identification to the scheduler in violation of its
uniqueness requirement.
Ensure that we do not violate the scheduler requirements on systems that
uses all the affinity levels by incorporating both affinity levels two
and three into the cluser ID when the cores are not threaded.
While no currently known hardware uses multi-level clusters it is better
to program defensively, this will help ease bringup of systems that have
them and will ensure that things like distribution install media do not
need to be respun to replace kernels in order to deploy such systems.
In the worst case the system will work but perform suboptimally until a
kernel modified to handle the new topology better is installed, in the
best case this will be an adequate description of such topologies for
the scheduler to perform well.

information from firmware, it merely implements the scaffolding for
integration of topology support in the architecture.
No locking of the topology data is done since it is only modified during
CPU bringup with external serialisation from the SMP code.
The goal is to separate the architecture hookup for providing topology
information from the DT parsing in order to ease review and avoid
blocking the architecture code (which will be built on by other work)
with the DT code review by providing something simple and basic.
Following patches will implement support for interpreting topology
information from MPIDR and for parsing the DT topology bindings for ARM,
similar patches will be needed for ACPI.
