selftests/resctrl: Rewrite Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) test CAT test spawns two processes into two different control groups with exclusive schemata. Both the processes alloc a buffer from memory matching their allocated LLC block size and flush the entire buffer out of caches. Since the processes are reading through the buffer only once during the measurement and initially all the buffer was flushed, the test isn't testing CAT. Rewrite the CAT test to allocate a buffer sized to half of LLC. Then perform a sequence of tests with different LLC alloc sizes starting from half of the CBM bits down to 1-bit CBM. Flush the buffer before each test and read the buffer twice. Observe the LLC misses on the second read through the buffer. As the allocated LLC block gets smaller and smaller, the LLC misses will become larger and larger giving a strong signal on CAT working properly. The new CAT test is using only a single process because it relies on measured effect against another run of itself rather than another process adding noise. The rest of the system is set to use the CBM bits not used by the CAT test to keep the test isolated. Replace count_bits() with count_contiguous_bits() to get the first bit position in order to be able to calculate masks based on it. This change has been tested with a number of systems from different generations.

* Minimum difference in LLC misses between a test with n+1 bits CBM to the
* test with n bits is MIN_DIFF_PERCENT_PER_BIT * (n - 1). With e.g. 5 vs 4
* bits in the CBM mask, the minimum difference must be at least
* MIN_DIFF_PERCENT_PER_BIT * (4 - 1) = 3 percent.
*
* The relationship between number of used CBM bits and difference in LLC
* misses is not expected to be linear. With a small number of bits, the
* margin is smaller than with larger number of bits. For selftest purposes,
* however, linear approach is enough because ultimately only pass/fail
* decision has to be made and distinction between strong and stronger
* signal is irrelevant.

* and show_results_info(), not in this function).
*
* One bit is removed from the CAT allocation bit mask (in current_mask) for
* each subsequent test which keeps reducing the size of the allocated cache
* portion. A single test flushes the buffer, reads it to warm up the cache,

selftests/resctrl: Rewrite Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) test CAT test spawns two processes into two different control groups with exclusive schemata. Both the processes alloc a buffer from memory matching their allocated LLC block size and flush the entire buffer out of caches. Since the processes are reading through the buffer only once during the measurement and initially all the buffer was flushed, the test isn't testing CAT. Rewrite the CAT test to allocate a buffer sized to half of LLC. Then perform a sequence of tests with different LLC alloc sizes starting from half of the CBM bits down to 1-bit CBM. Flush the buffer before each test and read the buffer twice. Observe the LLC misses on the second read through the buffer. As the allocated LLC block gets smaller and smaller, the LLC misses will become larger and larger giving a strong signal on CAT working properly. The new CAT test is using only a single process because it relies on measured effect against another run of itself rather than another process adding noise. The rest of the system is set to use the CBM bits not used by the CAT test to keep the test isolated.

Flush the buffer before each test and read the buffer twice. Observe the LLC misses on the second read through the buffer. As the allocated LLC block gets smaller and smaller, the LLC misses will become larger and larger giving a strong signal on CAT working properly. The new CAT test is using only a single process because it relies on measured effect against another run of itself rather than another process adding noise. The rest of the system is set to use the CBM bits not used by the CAT test to keep the test isolated. Replace count_bits() with count_contiguous_bits() to get the first bit position in order to be able to calculate masks based on it. This change has been tested with a number of systems from different generations.

selftests/resctrl: Rewrite Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) test CAT test spawns two processes into two different control groups with exclusive schemata. Both the processes alloc a buffer from memory matching their allocated LLC block size and flush the entire buffer out of caches. Since the processes are reading through the buffer only once during the measurement and initially all the buffer was flushed, the test isn't testing CAT. Rewrite the CAT test to allocate a buffer sized to half of LLC. Then perform a sequence of tests with different LLC alloc sizes starting from half of the CBM bits down to 1-bit CBM. Flush the buffer before each test and read the buffer twice. Observe the LLC misses on the second read through the buffer. As the allocated LLC block gets smaller and smaller, the LLC misses will become larger and larger giving a strong signal on CAT working properly. The new CAT test is using only a single process because it relies on measured effect against another run of itself rather than another process adding noise. The rest of the system is set to use the CBM bits not used by the CAT test to keep the test isolated.
