Resctrl selftest prints a message on test failure that Sub-Numa
Clustering (SNC) could be enabled and points the user to check their BIOS
settings. No actual check is performed before printing that message so
it is not very accurate in pinpointing a problem.
When there is SNC support for kernel's resctrl subsystem and SNC is
enabled then sub node files are created for each node in the resctrlfs.
The sub node files exist in each regular node's L3 monitoring directory.
The reliable path to check for existence of sub node files is
/sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mon_sub_L3_00.
Add helper that checks for mon_sub_L3_00 existence.
Correct old messages to account for kernel support of SNC in
resctrl.

The Memory Bandwidth Allocation (MBA) test iterates through all possible
MBA allocations, from 10% (ALLOCATION_MIN) to 100% (ALLOCATION_MAX) with
increments of 10% (ALLOCATION_STEP) at each iteration. During each
iteration the test measures the actual memory bandwidth NUM_OF_RUNS times
to determine the impact of MBA on actual memory bandwidth.
After the MBA test completes all the memory bandwidth measurements are
parsed into an array. One array for resctrl Memory Bandwidth Monitoring
(MBM) measurements and one array for the Integrated Memory Controller
(iMC) measurements. Each array has a hardcoded size of 1024 that is
large enough to hold the current test data, but this hardcoded value makes
the implementation difficult to understand. It will not be clear that this
array needs to be reconsidered if any of the test parameters are changed.
Replace the magic constant as array size with the test parameters the
array size depends on.

The resctrl selftests drop the results from every first test run
to avoid (per comment) "inaccurate due to monitoring setup transition
phase" data. Previously inaccurate data resulted from workloads needing
some time to "settle" and also the measurements themselves to
account for earlier measurements to measure across needed timeframe.
commit da50de0a92f3 ("selftests/resctrl: Calculate resctrl FS derived mem
bw over sleep(1) only")
ensured that measurements accurately measure just the time frame of
interest. The default "fill_buf" benchmark since separated the buffer
prepare phase from the benchmark run phase reducing the need for the
tests themselves to accommodate the benchmark's "settle" time.
With these enhancements there are no remaining portions needing
to "settle" and the first test run can contribute to measurements.

bandwidth
The MBA test incrementally throttles memory bandwidth, each time
followed by a comparison between the memory bandwidth observed
by the performance counters and resctrl respectively.
While a comparison between performance counters and resctrl is
generally appropriate, they do not have an identical view of
memory bandwidth. For example RAS features or memory performance
features that generate memory traffic may drive accesses that are
counted differently by performance counters and MBM respectively,
for instance generating "overhead" traffic which is not counted
against any specific RMID. As a ratio, this different view of memory
bandwidth becomes more apparent at low memory bandwidths.
It is not practical to enable/disable the various features that
may generate memory bandwidth to give performance counters and
resctrl an identical view. Instead, do not compare performance
counters and resctrl view of memory bandwidth when the memory
bandwidth is low.
Bandwidth throttling behaves differently across platforms
so it is not appropriate to drop measurement data simply based
on the throttling level. Instead, use a threshold of 750MiB
that has been observed to support adequate comparison between
performance counters and resctrl.

By default the MBM and MBA tests use the "fill_buf" benchmark to
read from a buffer with the goal to measure the memory bandwidth
generated by this buffer access.
Care should be taken when sizing the buffer used by the "fill_buf"
benchmark. If the buffer is small enough to fit in the cache then
it cannot be expected that the benchmark will generate much memory
bandwidth. For example, on a system with 320MB L3 cache the existing
hardcoded default of 250MB is insufficient.
Use the measured cache size to determine a buffer size that can be
expected to trigger memory access while keeping the existing default
as minimum, now renamed to MINIMUM_SPAN, that has been appropriate for
testing so far.

The benchmark used during the CMT, MBM, and MBA tests can be provided by
the user via (-b) parameter, if not provided the default "fill_buf"
benchmark is used. The user is additionally able to override
any of the "fill_buf" default parameters when running the tests with
"-b fill_buf <fill_buf parameters>".
The "fill_buf" parameters are managed as an array of strings. Using an
array of strings is complex because it requires transformations to/from
strings at every producer and consumer. This is made worse for the
individual tests where the default benchmark parameters values may not
be appropriate and additional data wrangling is required. For example,
the CMT test duplicates the entire array of strings in order to replace
one of the parameters.
More issues appear when combining the usage of an array of strings with
the use case of user overriding default parameters by specifying
"-b fill_buf <parameters>". This use case is fragile with opportunities
to trigger a SIGSEGV because of opportunities for NULL pointers to exist
in the array of strings. For example, by running below (thus by specifying
"fill_buf" should be used but all parameters are NULL):
$ sudo resctrl_tests -t mbm -b fill_buf
Replace the "array of strings" parameters used for "fill_buf" with
new struct fill_buf_param that contains the "fill_buf" parameters that
can be used directly without transformations to/from strings. Two
instances of struct fill_buf_param may exist at any point in time:
* If the user provides new parameters to "fill_buf", the
user parameter structure (struct user_params) will point to a
fully initialized and immutable struct fill_buf_param
containing the user provided parameters.
* If "fill_buf" is the benchmark that should be used by a test,
then the test parameter structure (struct resctrl_val_param)
will point to a fully initialized struct fill_buf_param. The
latter may contain (a) the user provided parameters verbatim,
(b) user provided parameters adjusted to be appropriate for
the test, or (c) the default parameters for "fill_buf" that
is appropriate for the test if the user did not provide
"fill_buf" parameters nor an alternate benchmark.
The existing behavior of CMT test is to use test defined value for the
buffer size even if the user provides another value via command line.
This behavior is maintained since the test requires that the buffer size
matches the size of the cache allocated, and the amount of cache
allocated can instead be changed by the user with the "-n" command line
parameter.

The MBM and MBA resctrl selftests run a benchmark during which
it takes measurements of read memory bandwidth via perf.
Code exists to support measurements of write memory bandwidth
but there exists no path with which this code can execute.
While code exists for write memory bandwidth measurement
there has not yet been a use case for it. Remove this unused code.
Rename relevant functions to include "read" so that it is clear
that it relates only to memory bandwidth reads, while renaming
the functions also add consistency by changing the "membw"
instances to more prevalent "mem_bw".

Within mba_setup() the programmed bandwidth delay value starts
at the maximum (100, or rather ALLOCATION_MAX) and progresses
towards ALLOCATION_MIN by decrementing with ALLOCATION_STEP.
The programmed bandwidth delay should never be negative, so
representing it with an unsigned int is most appropriate. This
may introduce confusion because of the "allocation > ALLOCATION_MAX"
check used to check wraparound of the subtraction.
Modify the mba_setup() flow to start at the minimum, ALLOCATION_MIN,
and incrementally, with ALLOCATION_STEP steps, adjust the
bandwidth delay value. This avoids wraparound while making the purpose
of "allocation > ALLOCATION_MAX" clear and eliminates the
need for the "allocation < ALLOCATION_MIN" check.

bw_report is only needed for selecting the correct value from the
values IMC measured. It is a member in the resctrl_val_param struct and
is always set to "reads". The value is then checked in resctrl_val()
using validate_bw_report_request() that besides validating the input,
assumes it can mutate the string which is questionable programming
practice.
Simplify handling bw_report:
- Convert validate_bw_report_request() into get_bw_report_type() that
inputs and returns const char *. Use NULL to indicate error.
- Validate the report types inside measure_mem_bw(), not in
resctrl_val().
- Pass bw_report to measure_mem_bw() from ->measure() hook because
resctrl_val() no longer needs bw_report for anything.

When building with clang, via:
make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests
...two types of warnings occur:
warning: absolute value function 'abs' given an argument of type
'long' but has parameter of type 'int' which may cause truncation of
value
warning: taking the absolute value of unsigned type 'unsigned long'
has no effect
Fix these by:
a) using labs() in place of abs(), when long integers are involved, and
b) Change to use signed integer data types, in places where subtraction
is used (and could end up with negative values).
c) Remove a duplicate abs() call in cmt_test.c.

Also, every site returning errno prints the error message already with

The initial value of 5% chosen for the maximum allowed percentage
difference between resctrl mbm value and IMC mbm value in
commit 06bd03a57f8c ("selftests/resctrl: Fix MBA/MBM results reporting
format") was "randomly chosen value" (as admitted by the changelog).
When running tests in our lab across a large number platforms, 5%
difference upper bound for success seems a bit on the low side for the
MBA and MBM tests. Some platforms produce outliers that are slightly
above that, typically 6-7%, which leads MBA/MBM test frequently
failing.
Replace the "randomly chosen value" with a success bound that is based
on those measurements across large number of platforms by relaxing the
MBA/MBM success bound to 8%. The relaxed bound removes the failures due
the frequent outliers.

order of tests (CMT test runs last), mutating the span argument in CMT
test does not trigger any real problems currently.

arguments can be used directly. Besides being simpler, using the input

There could be two reasons why a resctrl feature might not be enabled on
the platform
1. H/W might not support the feature
2. Even if the H/W supports it, the user might have disabled the feature
through kernel command line arguments
Hence, any resctrl unit test (like cmt, cat, mbm and mba) before starting
the test will first check if the feature is enabled on the platform or not.
If the feature isn't enabled, then the test returns with an error status.
For example, if MBA isn't supported on a platform and if the user tries to
run MBA, the output will look like this
ok mounting resctrl to "/sys/fs/resctrl"
not ok MBA: schemata change
But, not supporting a feature isn't a test failure. So, instead of treating
it as an error, use the SKIP directive of the TAP protocol. With the
change, the output will look as below
ok MBA # SKIP Hardware does not support MBA or MBA is disabled

MBM unit test starts fill_buf (default built-in benchmark) in a new con_mon
group (c1, m1) and records resctrl reported mbm values and iMC (Integrated
Memory Controller) values every second. It does this for five seconds
(randomly chosen value) in total. It then calculates average of resctrl_mbm
values and imc_mbm values and if the difference is greater than 300 MB/sec
(randomly chosen value), the test treats it as a failure. MBA unit test is
similar to MBM but after every run it changes schemata.
Checking for a difference of 300 MB/sec doesn't look very meaningful when
the mbm values are changing over a wide range. For example, below are the
values running MBA test on SKL with different allocations
1. With 10% as schemata both iMC and resctrl mbm_values are around 2000
MB/sec
2. With 100% as schemata both iMC and resctrl mbm_values are around 10000
MB/sec
A 300 MB/sec difference between resctrl_mbm and imc_mbm values is
acceptable at 100% schemata but it isn't acceptable at 10% schemata because
that's a huge difference.
So, fix this by checking for percentage difference instead of absolute
difference i.e. check if the difference between resctrl_mbm value and
imc_mbm value is within 5% (randomly chosen value) of imc_mbm value. If the
difference is greater than 5% of imc_mbm value, treat it is a failure.

Call kselftest APIs instead of using printf() to log test results
for cleaner code and better future extension.

Checking resctrl features call strcmp() to compare feature strings
(e.g. "mba", "cat" etc). The checkings are error prone and don't have
good coding style. Define the constant strings in macros and call
strncmp() to solve the potential issues.

MBA (Memory Bandwidth Allocation) test starts a stressful memory
bandwidth benchmark and allocates memory bandwidth from 100% down
to 10% for the benchmark process. For each allocation, compare
perf IMC counter and mbm total bytes from resctrl. The difference
between the two values should be within a threshold to pass the test.
Default benchmark is built-in fill_buf. But users can specify their
own benchmark by option "-b".
We can add memory bandwidth allocation for multiple processes in the
future.
