s390/pai: Fix missing PAI counter increments under heavy load
Machines with a larger number of CPUs and under heavy load sometimes loose PAI counter increments during recording using events -e CRYPTO_ÂLL or -e NNPA_ALL. Counting is not affected. This happens when several PAI crypto counters are incremented during the same cryptographic operation. During schedule out the functions paiXXX_sched_task() (with XXX either crypt or ext) +--> pai_have_samples() +--> pai_have_sample() +--> pai_copy() +--> pai_push_sample() are called to read out PAI counter values. In pai_copy() the current values of PAI counters are read from the PMU memory mapped page and compared to the values read during last schedule out operation, which have been saved in a backup page named PAI_SAVE_AREA(event). For each PAI counter a delta is calculated and when the delta is positive, that PAI counter was incremented by hardware. This positve delta is reported as raw data record attached to a sample. After all deltas have been calculated, the new PAI counter values are saved in the backup page PAI_SAVE_AREA(event). However this is done in pai_push_sample(), leaving a small window for missing hardware triggered updates. Here is one scenario: PAI counter idx: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 .... N +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ +---+ PAI counter page:| | | X | | | | | |....| Y | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ +---+ In pai_copy() each PAI counter value is read and compared to its old value. This is done in a loop. When PAI counter indexed N is read, the hardware might increment PAI counter indexed 2 again, updating its value from X to X+1. Later pai_push_sample() simply mem-copies the complete PAI counter page to a backup page and the increment of X+1 is lost, because the backup page now contains the new value. Read each PAI counter and save this value in the backup page when there is a positive delta. This omits any time window between read and store. This also reduced the work load as only modified PAI counters are saved.
