[RFC v4 2/2] selftest/cpuidle: Add support for cpuidle latency measurement
From: Pratik Rajesh Sampat
Date: Mon Apr 12 2021 - 03:43:37 EST
The cpuidle latency selftest provides support to systematically extract,
analyse and present IPI and timer based wakeup latencies for each CPU
and each idle state available on the system.
The selftest leverages test-cpuidle_latency module's debugfs interface
to interact and extract latency information from the kernel.
The selftest inserts the module if already not inserted, disables all
the idle states and enables them one by one testing the following:
1. Keeping source CPU constant, iterate through all the CPUS measuring
IPI latency for baseline (CPU is busy with cat /dev/random > /dev/null
workload) and then when the CPU is allowed to be at rest
2. Iterating through all the CPUs, sending expected timer durations to
be equivalent to the residency of the deepest idle state enabled
and extracting the difference in time between the time of wakeup and
the expected timer duration
The timer based test produces run to run variance on some intel based
systems that sport a mechansim "C-state pre-wake" which can
pre-wake a CPU from an idle state when timers are armed. For systems and
architectures that don't have this mechansim can leverage timer tests
with the -i option.
To run this test specifically:
$ sudo make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS="cpuidle" run_tests
There are a few optional arguments too that the script can take
[-h <help>]
[-i <run timer tests>]
[-m <location of the module>]
[-o <location of the output>]
[-v <verbose> (run on all cpus)]
Default Output location in: tools/testing/selftest/cpuidle/cpuidle.log
To run the test without re-compiling:
$ cd tools/testing/selftest/cpuidle/
$ sudo ./cpuidle.sh
