Merge branch 'irq-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull irq updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The changes in this cycle were:
- Remove the irq timings/variance statistics code that tried to
predict when the next interrupt would occur, which didn't work out
as hoped and is replaced by another mechanism.
- This new mechanism is the 'array suffix computation' estimate,
which is superior to the previous one as it can detect not just a
single periodic pattern, but independent periodic patterns along a
log-2 scale of bucketing and exponential moving average. The
comments are longer than the code - and it works better at
predicting various complex interrupt patterns from real-world
devices than the previous estimate.
- avoid IRQ-work self-IPIs on the local CPU
- fix work-list corruption in irq_set_affinity_notifier()"
* 'irq-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
irq_work: Do not raise an IPI when queueing work on the local CPU
genirq/devres: Use struct_size() in devm_kzalloc()
genirq/timings: Add array suffix computation code
genirq/timings: Remove variance computation code
genirq: Prevent use-after-free and work list corruption

The experience + * showed the interrupts are often coming following a periodic + * pattern. + * + * The objective of the algorithm is to find out this periodic pattern + * in a fastest way and use its period to predict the next irq event. + * + * When the next interrupt event is requested, we are in the situation + * where the interrupts are disabled and the circular buffer + * containing the timings is filled with the events which happened + * after the previous next-interrupt-event request. + * + * At this point, we read the circular buffer and we fill the irq + * related statistics structure. After this step, the circular array + * containing the timings is empty because all the values are + * dispatched in their corresponding buffers. + * + * Now for each interrupt, we can predict the next event by using the + * suffix array, log interval and exponential moving average + * + * 1. Suffix array + * + * Suffix array is an array of all the suffixes of a string. It is + * widely used as a data structure for compression, text search, ... + * For instance for the word 'banana', the suffixes will be: 'banana' + * 'anana' 'nana' 'ana' 'na' 'a' + * + * Usually, the suffix array is sorted but for our purpose it is + * not necessary and won't provide any improvement in the context of + * the solved problem where we clearly define the boundaries of the + * search by a max period and min period. + * + * The suffix array will build a suite of intervals of different + * length and will look for the repetition of each suite. If the suite + * is repeating then we have the period because it is the length of + * the suite whatever its position in the buffer. + * + * 2. Log interval + * + * We saw the irq timings allow to compute the interval of the + * occurrences for a specific interrupt. We can reasonibly assume the + * longer is the interval, the higher is the error for the next event + * and we can consider storing those interval values into an array + * where each slot in the array correspond to an interval at the power + * of 2 of the index. For example, index 12 will contain values + * between 2^11 and 2^12. + * + * At the end we have an array of values where at each index defines a + * [2^index - 1, 2 ^ index] interval values allowing to store a large + * number of values inside a small array. + * + * For example, if we have the value 1123, then we store it at + * ilog2(1123) = 10 index value. + * + * Storing those value at the specific index is done by computing an + * exponential moving average for this specific slot. For instance, + * for values 1800, 1123, 1453, ... fall under the same slot (10) and + * the exponential moving average is computed every time a new value + * is stored at this slot. + * + * 3. Exponential Moving Average + * + * The EMA is largely used to track a signal for stocks or as a low + * pass filter. The magic of the formula, is it is very simple and the + * reactivity of the average can be tuned with the factors called + * alpha. + * + * The higher the alphas are, the faster the average respond to the + * signal change. In our case, if a slot in the array is a big + * interval, we can have numbers with a big difference between + * them. The impact of those differences in the average computation + * can be tuned by changing the alpha value. + * + * + * -- The algorithm -- + * + * We saw the different processing above, now let's see how they are + * used together. + * + * For each interrupt: + * For each interval: + * Compute the index = ilog2(interval) + * Compute a new_ema(buffer[index], interval) + * Store the index in a circular buffer + * + * Compute the suffix array of the indexes + * + * For each suffix: + * If the suffix is reverse-found 3 times + * Return suffix + * + * Return Not found + * + * However we can not have endless suffix array to be build, it won't + * make sense and it will add an extra overhead, so we can restrict + * this to a maximum suffix length of 5 and a minimum suffix length of + * 2.
