 Is it possible to stick running threads to same CPU core for longer time 
 to avoid C-states latencies penalty?

State-Changed-Why: 
The issue as described in this PR is not present in stable/8.
ACPI in stable/7 is not going to be updated.
In stable/8 C3 is reported but is never used in default
configuration, because processor never sleeps long enough
to C3 state with that long enter/exit delay.
The reporter is tuning his system for optimal performance.

 Intel writes that BIOS may report additional P-state with 1MHz
 difference, to allow OS to control TurboBoost. It's just cpufreq
 subsystem behavior/limitation to drop very close frequencies. Actually I
 am not sure how this additional P-state could be used, except for testing.
 
  In short: no 60% disk io performance drop in 8.1-STABLE. Other tests
  give same results like 8.1-RELEASE, 5% average cpu performance drop.
 
 Disk performance fix is reasonable. Some recent improvements in
 9-CURRENT should improve it even more. What's about ubench - try some
 different load.

  be overweighted by C-states latencies penalty. It could be interesting

 Actually tested 8.1-RELEASE with both TurboBoost options in BIOS:
 
 TurboBoost OFF
 Ubench Single CPU:   451935 (0.40s)
 Ubench Single CPU:   450927 (0.40s)

 Ubench Single CPU:   449926 (0.40s)
 
 C-states latencies penalty is reasonable idea. But looks like P0-state 
 not activated at all.
 What about too high %% for C3 state during heavy load:
 dev.cpu.0.cx_usage: 0.17% 0.06% 99.75% last 7560us
 
  Disk performance fix is reasonable. Some recent improvements in

 Can you suggest other CPU only benchmark?
 
 make -j 16 buildworld
 can't load all cores, can't see less than 11% idle

 Try to kill powerd and manually set highest CPU frequency. 0.40s test
 time looks a bit suspicious, as powerd may just not react in time to set
 P0 state.
 
  What about too high %% for C3 state during heavy load:
  dev.cpu.0.cx_usage: 0.17% 0.06% 99.75% last 7560us
 
 It's not really strange. These numbers count number of enters into each
 state. So when CPU is completely bust - they won't be updated. Main case
 when C1 state should be actively used/counted is loads with high
 interrupt rate or heavy context switching, such as disk I/O or network load.
 
  Disk performance fix is reasonable. Some recent improvements in
  9-CURRENT should improve it even more. What's about ubench - try some
  different load.

 I think it's not the main goal to completely load all CPUs. But this
 test is realistic and has really usable result.

 Ok, I am able to activate C3 state after loader.conf tweaks. According 
 to http://www.intel.com/technology/turboboost/
 
 Intel Turbo Boost Technology is activated when the Operating System (OS) 
 requests the highest processor performance state (P0).
 
 I have no clue about P0 state activation on FreeBSD.

 Great!  That was a wise decision on your part.
 But you should have told us/me that (e.g. followed up to your own PR).
 OK, now you can enable use of lower Cx states via hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest sysctl

 the PR can be closed.

   pre wrap=205 * 3 and 245 * 3 are both greater than 500, so this is 
the reason why they are
 never entered.
 
 Perhaps Alexander can give some advice here.

 Looks like I can simply update src to 8-stable?br

Re: i386/135447: [i386] [request] Intel Core i7 and Nehalem-EP new features not supported

2010-09-12 Thread brucec
Synopsis: [i386] [request] Intel Core i7 and Nehalem-EP new features not 
supported

State-Changed-From-To: closed-open 
State-Changed-By: brucec
State-Changed-When: Sun Sep 12 10:35:23 UTC 2010
State-Changed-Why: 
This does appear to be a bug, but only in the ACPI code: Hyperthreading 
isn't guaranteed to give a performance increase for every workload, and 
TurboBoost is only seen once lower Cx states are enabled.


Responsible-Changed-From-To: brucec-freebsd-acpi 
Responsible-Changed-By: brucec
Responsible-Changed-When: Sun Sep 12 10:35:23 UTC 2010
Responsible-Changed-Why: 
Over to the acpi list.
This appears to be a problem with ACPI on the machine, because C2 and C3 
states should probably be available.

The following reply was made to PR i386/135447; it has been noted by GNATS.

From: Andriy Gapon a...@icyb.net.ua
To: bug-follo...@freebsd.org, d...@garant.ru
Cc: Bruce Cran bru...@freebsd.org
Subject: Re: i386/135447: [i386] [request] Intel Core i7 and Nehalem-EP new
 features not supported
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 2010 18:52:14 +0300

 First of all, the PR was created improperly - sysctl -a output is in Fix
 section for some reason.  Please don't do that in the future.
 
 Second, it's impossible to tell if C2 and C3 states should probably be
 available unless we see acpidump -dt output and dmesg with ACPI debugging
 enabled (ACPI_PROCESSOR x ACPI_DB_INFO):
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/acpi-debug.html
 
 P.S.
 That is, generally we expect to see C2 and C3 levels, but not universally.
 BIOS or BIOS configuration, motherboard peculiarities and OS supported features
 are among the thing that affect C2+ availability.
