This test fails intermittently in systems with heavy load as
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID is subject to scheduler pressure.  Thus the
test boundaries where relaxed to keep it from fail on this systems.

A refactor of the spent time checking was made with some support
functions. With the advantage to represent time jitter in percent
of the target.

The values used by the test boundaries are all empirical.

---

Hi,

Please Carlos see if this is what you asked.

I spent sometime gathering the spent times to find the values
for the boundaries. From this I selected values that will fail less
than 1% of the time, in the tested machines.

Also as I found the spent time deviation completely asymmetrical
I choose to separate the values in upper and lower bounds.

changes from V2:
	- Add support functions

I don't using float operation is the correct solution to handle both
invalid inputs and overflow results. We already have a working solution
(support/timespec-add.c and support/timespec-sub.c), why do you need
to add such functions?

Please add some description of what this function do.  And I think 
it would be better to normalize to nanoseconds instead of seconds
to avoid floating-point cancellation due the range difference.
Something like:

  /* Return true if the DIFF time is within the ratio 
     [upper_bound, lower_bound] of DIFF time, or false otherwise.

     For instance:

     struct timespec diff = { 3, 94956 };
     struct timespec base = { 4, 0 };

     The call checks if the ratio of diff/base is within the
     bounds of (0.65, 1.0) (i.e, if 'diff' is at least 65% of
     the 'base' value).

     support_timespec_check_in_range (base, diff, 1.0, 0.65); */
  bool support_timespec_check_ratio (struct timespec base,
                                     struct timespec diff,
                                     double upper_bound,
                                     double lower_bound)
  {
    assert (upper_bound >= lower_bound);
    uint64_t base_norm = base.tv_sec * TIMESPEC_HZ + base.tv_nsec;
    uint64_t diff_norm = diff.tv_sec * TIMESPEC_HZ + diff.tv_nsec;
    double ratio = (double) base_norm / (double) diff_norm;
    return ratio >= lower_bound && ratio <= upper_bound;
  }
   

I think it should follow the libsupport name convention of prepending
'support_' on file name. 

The same name convention should be used on the exported interfaces
(support_*).

And I see that using time_* is confusing because the underlying type
is a 'timespec'. On 'include/time.h' the type is used on function
name, I think we should do the same here.

Well I actually didn't notice them, as I was suggested to implement it.
Thanks for pointing it out.  I will remove them and use the existing
solution.

I'm using double here because this "(timea + timeb)" was sometimes
overflowing.

IMHO this will not be used to check, or compute, really small jitter,
so floating-point cancellation should not be a problem.  But if you see
that it's worth I could to change to long and use:

double diff = (timea - timeb) / max(timea, timeb);

instead of

double diff = (timea - timeb) / (0.5 * (timea + timeb));

> Something like:

IMHO it makes more sense to think in it as a relative difference rather
than in ration.  As "diff time is x% bigger than base" instead of "diff
time is x% of the base".  So I want to keep this approach.

But the idea of test refactoring is to check if value is in a bounded
range of another value, i.e, to check if the CPU time spent in the
created process is within an expected value.

I personally think is quite confusing the function call:

   percent_diff_check(sleeptime, diff, .6, .34)

Which is simplified to:

  -0.6 <= (sleeptime - diff)/(0.5*(sleeptime + diff) <= 0.34

And the result will be negative iff diff is larger than sleeptime. And
this might happen iff the calling process is using more than one CPU
(so total number of CPU time will be higher than total sleep time
which assumes only one CPU).

Also, for such scenarios it really awkward to define the expected
threshold. For instance, assuming child process has two threads chewing 
up CPU and the parent process sleeping for 0.5s.  The result CPU
for child would be close to 1s, and with your formula the resulting
diff will be ~ -0.66.  This is confusing to set the threshold on
such scenario.

With my suggestion, for diff time larger than base one you set a
lower positive threshold; while for diff time lower than base you
set a large higher positive threshold.

In fact I think base_norm and diff_norm should be calculated as double

This test fails intermittently in systems with heavy load as
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID is subject to scheduler pressure.  Thus the
test boundaries where relaxed to keep it from fail on this systems.

A refactor of the spent time checking was made with some support
functions.  With the advantage to represent time jitter in percent
of the target.

The values used by the test boundaries are all empirical.

---

Hi,

changes on V3:
	- refactor support functions
	- use existing timespec-sub function

changes on V2:
	- Add support functions

Hi Lucas,

I believe the main idea behind Carlos' initial suggestion was to make
something more generic that could also be used in other places. The
patch is following in this direction alright but I think there are still
a few details that could be improved in this regard. Comments below.

Wouldn't something like:

struct timespec
support_timespec_normalize (struct timespec t)
{
  t.tv_sec += (t.tv_nsec / TIMESPEC_HZ);
  t.tv_nsec = (t.tv_nsec % TIMESPEC_HZ);
  return t;
}

be more straightforward?

Also, since this is a fairly generic function for timespec, I think it
could be added to support/timespec.h, like timespec_add and timespec_sub.

I believe support_timespec_check_in_range (as used somewhere previously
on this thread) or support_timespec_check_within_bounds (maybe too long)
would be more appropriate names, since the ratio is only part of the
calculation, not what the function actually does.

A minor detail, but my brain finds it confusing that the upper_bound
comes before the lower_bound in the arguments list when the final check
will be like: lower_bound <= diff/base <= upper_bound.

At last, diff seems to be a leftover from the current use case for this
function (in time/tst-cpuclock1.c). Since this is a generic function
that can be used in other places, I suggest changing the name to 'value'
(or similar).

When Adhermeval suggested to normalize this to nanoseconds instead of
seconds, you replied that this would not be used to check really small
values. But once it enters support/*, I believe it is fair game to be
reused in other places that might as well deal with small values, so
it's something to consider.

Hi Matheus,

Thanks for the review. AFAIU Carlos was specifically pointing out that this
could be reused on tst-cpuclock2. So, this was my target during the development
of this patch. From what I got you believe that the timespec functions could be
completely generic. I agree so I will rewrite the patch for this.

This test fails intermittently in systems with heavy load as
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID is subject to scheduler pressure.  Thus the
test boundaries where relaxed to keep it from fail on this systems.

A refactor of the spent time checking was made with some support
functions.  With the advantage to represent time jitter in percent
of the target.

The values used by the test boundaries are all empirical.

---

Hi,

changes on V4:
	- move functions to support/timespec.c
	- simplify functions

changes on V3:
	- refactor support functions
	- use existing timespec-sub function

changes on V2:
	- Add support functions

Getting closer. Still needs some work. See suggestions below for v5.

(1) This doesn't seem correct.

{ 0, 1000000001 } - initial value
{ 1, 1000000001 } - +1s
{ 1, 1000000000 } - -1ns

Expected:
{ 1, 1}

Suggest:
t.tv_sec += t.tv_nsec / TIMESPEC_HZ;
t.tv_nsec = t.tv_nsec % TIMESPEC_HZ;

See my comment below about test cases.

(2) Don't modify arguments, return modified argument.

> +  return t;
> +}

Suggest:

"Returns TRUE if the observed time is within the given percentage bounds of the
expected time, and FALSE otherwise."

(3) Use expected and observed everywhere.

I would say "base" is the "expected" value.

I would say "deviation" is the "observed" value.

(4) Add test cases.

Could you please add a handful of test cases in support/ for this new function?

That way we prove it's working as expected on all systems.

You should test positive and negative times.

You should test times inside the range, outside the range, and exactly on 
lower and upper range boundaries.

(5) Compose like this with new function that returns new struct.

diff = timespec_sub (support_timespec_normalize (before),
		     support_timespec_normalize (after));

This test fails intermittently in systems with heavy load as
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID is subject to scheduler pressure.  Thus the
test boundaries were relaxed to keep it from failing on such systems.

A refactor of the spent time checking was made with some support
functions.  With the advantage to representing time jitter in percent
of the target.

The values used by the test boundaries are all empirical.

Please don't use single variable names. Use "from" or "raw".

Likewise "r" could be "cooked" or "norm".

This can cause overflow/underflow.

Please review timespec_add.

We should set this to a extreme value just like timepsec_add for both overflow/underflow.

> +  assert(expected_norm != 0);

Why can't expected_norm be zero?

If you have an abstract timespec you may want to check against that.

I would assert that all values are *positive* and write that into the comments
above.

Several of the tests above would cause overflow in the normalization.

I'll review them more closely in v6.

The value of 0.0025 doesn't seem correct, can you please confirm that?

This is supposed to be a 0.5s wait, and wait of 1ms doesn't seem correct.

It can't be zero because of the division below.  Do you have any suggestions on
this matter?

I got values as low as 0,0008s for this. But I can be more restrict.  The
values lower than 0.1 are less than < 1% of my sample.  But these are the ones
bothering during cpu stress.

This test fails intermittently in systems with heavy load as
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID is subject to scheduler pressure.  Thus the
test boundaries were relaxed to keep it from failing on such systems.

A refactor of the spent time checking was made with some support
functions.  With the advantage to representing time jitter in percent
of the target.

The values used by the test boundaries are all empirical.

Hi,

changes on V6:
	- add overflow handling
	- change variables names

changes on V5:
	- add tests for support_timespec_check_in_range
	- fix support_timespec_normalize
	- add comments
	- fix style

changes on V4:
	- move functions to support/timespec.c
	- simplify functions

changes on V3:
	- refactor support functions
	- use existing timespec-sub function

changes on V2:
	- Add support functions

These *have* to be kernel bugs, and we should not paper over kernel bugs. We should
still fail if the kernel has bugs otherwise we'll never get them fixed upstream.

We should make tests robust with respect to waiting for infinite events to happen.
For example when sleeping we are guaranteed to sleep at-least a certain
amount, and our check should be flexible that we slept at least that amount and
then some amount more, to take into account system load.

In summary: We are making the test robust against system load, not against kernel
defects (which should show up).

Carlos.

The 0.0025 is way too low.

Lets be objective about this.

Can you make these bounds the 90% percentile of the samples you have?

Likewise.

From: Lucas A. M. Magalhaes via Libc-alpha @ 2020-04-03 19:24 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: libc-alpha

This test fails intermittently in systems with heavy load as
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID is subject to scheduler pressure.  Thus the
test boundaries were relaxed to keep it from failing on such systems.

A refactor of the spent time checking was made with some support
functions.  With the advantage to representing time jitter in percent
of the target.

The values used by the test boundaries are all empirical.

Hi,

changes on V7:
	- change expecting boundaries
	- add comments

changes on V6:
	- add overflow handling
	- change variables names

changes on V5:
	- add tests for support_timespec_check_in_range
	- fix support_timespec_normalize
	- add comments
	- fix style

changes on V4:
	- move functions to support/timespec.c
	- simplify functions

changes on V3:
	- refactor support functions
	- use existing timespec-sub function

changes on V2:
	- Add support functions

Looking forward to v8. I think we're almost done. If you fixup the
TIMESPEC_SHRINK interface (static inline API moved to support with
a few testes) then it's good to checkin next time.

Thank you for your patience!

OK. Overflow sets max value, while underflow sets min value (will look for those tests).

Needs comment:

/* Convert TIME to nanoseconds stored in shrinked.  */

> +#define TIMESPEC_SHRINK(time, shrinked) 				\

(1) The name should indicate what it does.

Shink isn't quite what we're doing here.

We're converting struct timespec to ns.

Plese call this timespec_ns(time), and make it a static inline
that returns the converted long value.

(2) Choose static inlines over macros.

Macros are hard to debug and we get better diagnostics with static inlines,
please prefer them over macros.

(3) Implement pure functions over functions that mutate arguments.

Also from a design perspective it's better to create interfaces that take
const input, produce a value, and return that value in an immutable result.
This way the caller controls the manner in which the store is carried out.
The function is therefore pure and you know it has no side-effects
on the parameters. Pure functions are easier to debug, reason about,
combine, and parallelize :-)

For example:

   expected_norm = timespec_ns (time);

Then you do this:

> +{									\
     long ns;
> +  if (INT_MULTIPLY_WRAPV(time.tv_sec, TIMESPEC_HZ, &shrinked))		\
> +   {									\

     /* Return the converted ns value.  */
     return ns;
> +}									\

Can you move this generic routine out of this test now and into support/timespec.h?

This function needs tests to verify the behaviour of the edge cases
(including overflow and underflow). You can put the tests into the
same new test if you like because they are related.

This test fails intermittently in systems with heavy load as
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID is subject to scheduler pressure.  Thus the
test boundaries were relaxed to keep it from failing on such systems.

A refactor of the spent time checking was made with some support
functions.  With the advantage to representing time jitter in percent
of the target.

The values used by the test boundaries are all empirical.

This test fails intermittently in systems with heavy load as
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID is subject to scheduler pressure.  Thus the
test boundaries were relaxed to keep it from failing on such systems.

A refactor of the spent time checking was made with some support
functions.  With the advantage to representing time jitter in percent
of the target.

The values used by the test boundaries are all empirical.

Hi Carlos,
I also got skeptical about my dataset so I genegerated another one.
That .4 boundry was indeed too low.  Also, the support/tst-timespec was
not actually running any tests because of a lazy bug, sorry about that.
Thanks for taking the time for reviewing this.

changes on V9:
	Add new testcases
	Fix support/tst-timespec do_run
	Add comments
	Change boundaries

changes on V8:
	Add support_timespec_ns
	Add more tests

This list of changes where getting to long.

*Almost* done.

Please review suggestions and comment changes.

Post v10 and I'll ACK that.

OK. Good we document that we clamp at max or min with no wrapping.

OK. Negative multiply that wraps clamps to minimum negative long, while positive
multiple that wraps clamps to maximum positive long.

OK. Yes, seconds clamp at min or max for the type. Which is normalized.

OK. Yes, nanoseconds clamp at min or max of (TIMESPEC_HZ - 1).

This test fails intermittently in systems with heavy load as
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID is subject to scheduler pressure.  Thus the
test boundaries were relaxed to keep it from failing on such systems.

A refactor of the spent time checking was made with some support
functions.  With the advantage to representing time jitter in percent
of the target.

The values used by the test boundaries are all empirical.

Usage of long may be the problem.

commit 04deeaa9ea74b0679dfc9d9155a37b6425f19a9f
Author: Lucas A. M. Magalhaes <lamm@linux.ibm.com>
Date:   Fri Jul 10 19:41:06 2020 -0300

    Fix time/tst-cpuclock1 intermitent failures

has 2 issues:

1. It assumes time_t == long which is false on x32.
2. tst-timespec.c is compiled without -fexcess-precision=standard which
generates incorrect results on i686 in support_timespec_check_in_range:

  double ratio = (double)observed_norm / expected_norm;
  return (lower_bound <= ratio && ratio <= upper_bound);

This patch does

1. Compile tst-timespec.c with -fexcess-precision=standard.
2. Replace long with time_t.
3. Replace LONG_MIN and LONG_MAX with TYPE_MINIMUM (time_t) and
TYPE_MAXIMUM (time_t).

OK for master?

Thanks.

Thanks. I had no considered x32 during the review.

Yes, some of the tests have bounds which are quite tight. We could either
loosen the bounds or compile as you indicate. I'm OK either way. I'll
ack this patch.

OK with this comment:

# In support_timespec_check_in_range we may be passed a very
# tight range for which we should produce a correct result
# for expected being withing the observed range.  The code
# uses double internally in support_timespec_check_in_range
# and for that computation we use -fexcess-precision=standard.

Why not use long long int as the type?

Thanks,

Using time_t has the least impact since most of the targets have time_t == long.
I am checking in this patch and will post a followup patch with long long.

Subject: [PATCH] Correct timespec implementation [BZ #26232]

commit 04deeaa9ea74b0679dfc9d9155a37b6425f19a9f
Author: Lucas A. M. Magalhaes <lamm@linux.ibm.com>
Date:   Fri Jul 10 19:41:06 2020 -0300

    Fix time/tst-cpuclock1 intermitent failures

has 2 issues:

1. It assumes time_t == long which is false on x32.
2. tst-timespec.c is compiled without -fexcess-precision=standard which
generates incorrect results on i686 in support_timespec_check_in_range:

  double ratio = (double)observed_norm / expected_norm;
  return (lower_bound <= ratio && ratio <= upper_bound);

This patch does

1. Compile tst-timespec.c with -fexcess-precision=standard.
2. Replace long with time_t.
3. Replace LONG_MIN and LONG_MAX with TYPE_MINIMUM (time_t) and
TYPE_MAXIMUM (time_t).

There are

time_t
support_timespec_ns (struct timespec time)
{
  time_t time_ns;
  if (INT_MULTIPLY_WRAPV(time.tv_sec, TIMESPEC_HZ, &time_ns))
    return time.tv_sec < 0 ? TYPE_MINIMUM(time_t) : TYPE_MAXIMUM(time_t);
  if (INT_ADD_WRAPV(time_ns, time.tv_nsec, &time_ns))
    return time.tv_nsec < 0 ? TYPE_MINIMUM(time_t) : TYPE_MAXIMUM(time_t);
  return time_ns;
}

Even if support_timespec_ns is changed to return long long, we still may need to
keep

 time_t time_ns;

for

   if (INT_MULTIPLY_WRAPV(time.tv_sec, TIMESPEC_HZ, &time_ns))

and

  if (INT_ADD_WRAPV(time_ns, time.tv_nsec, &time_ns))

It looks odd to return long long here.

Why?

You can use the GCC built-ins for checked arithmetic, they support mixed
types.

Thanks,

Hi H.J. Lu,
Thanks for working on this. Overall the patch seams right to me. Just
one comment on style down there.

I suspect you need to use LONG_LONG_MIN and LONG_LONG_MAX here.

Could you give more details about why it doesn't work? Is it a GCC bug (and if 
so, which version and what flags did you use)? Is it a bug in 
INT_MULTIPLY_WRAPV? in INT_ADD_WRAPV? What code is generated and why is it 
wrong? That sort of thing. If there's a bug in INT_*_WRAPV I'd like to fix it.

An advantage to using 'long long' over 'time_t' is that insulates the code from 
possible future changes where time_t is unsigned (which POSIX allows). 
Admittedly this is unlikely.

Test failed on i686.  Ping me in a couple weeks when I have some spare cycles.
