Summary

  • Capture host-build-graph level-4 submit phases in host monotonic
    nanoseconds and verify the recorded count against the submitted task count.
  • Correlate the host and device clocks with three samples before host
    orchestration and three after device execution. The converter selects the
    minimum-RTT sample at each endpoint and interpolates the offset while using
    the platform counter frequency for cycle conversion.
  • Support the 50 MHz A3 and 1 GHz A5 system-counter domains with the shared
    implementation, remove the unused device orchestrator phase pool for HBG,
    and fail closed to a causal-composite layout when calibration or host capture
    is incomplete.
  • Keep the sampling overhead scoped to HBG level 4: six anchor samples per run,
    not one sample per submitted task. Lower profiling levels are unchanged.
  • Harden correlation cleanup so allocation failures stay noexcept-safe,
    sessions finish before native-run ownership is released, device resources
    follow the runner's usable state, and mixed clock domains are rejected before
    an output file is created.

Onboard validation data

Both platforms used acl_event anchors whose raw timestamp unit is
device_uptime_us. Every case produced layout=clock_aligned,
clock_alignment.status=calibrated, complete Host capture with zero dropped
records, and cross_domain_latency_available=true.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8f03d

The change adds host/device clock correlation for level-4 swimlane output, but several failure and cleanup paths can leave resources unreleased, terminate the process, race with a subsequent run, or produce an empty output file; merge should wait for these bounded correctness and availability issues to be addressed.

Poem

A rabbit records each host-side beat,
While clocks align from burrow to fleet.
Anchors choose paths with the smallest delay,
Failed runs close cleanly before they stray.
Traces now show where the phases hop,
And missing links simply stop.

Release the provider before you reset it.

The onboard twin at src/common/platform/onboard/host/device_runner_base.cpp lines 1078-1084 calls release() before reset() on this same inactive-session branch. This branch drops the provider without calling release(), so any resource the sim provider holds is never released through its documented path.

     if (!chip_swimlane_collector_.clock_correlation_active()) {

The clock-correlation level gate uses != instead of >= in both runners. Both begin_host_orchestrator_capture implementations skip clock correlation for any level above ORCH_PHASES, while every other level check in this feature uses a >= comparison, for example chip_swimlane_collector.cpp line 415. Host capture still starts in that case, so the export would carry host records without anchors.

since it only updates state, and preserve the current fallback behavior without
allowing allocation failure to terminate the process.

has_aicpu_orch_phases and host_orchestrator_capture_started_ to immediately
after the has_any_records check in the relevant collector method, before
std::filesystem::create_directories and the std::ofstream output block. Remove
the later duplicate guard so the output file is not opened or truncated when
mixed clock-domain records are detected.

Review 结论:建议先合入,四点 Should-fix 转后续跟进

我按 merge-base (288e1803) 完整过了一遍 diff(34 文件 / +1732 −63)。代码正确性层面没有发现阻塞性缺陷,CI 全绿,建议先合入,下面四点单独立 issue 跟进。

先说合入的依据(这几处我是逐点核过、不是看着像对):

  1. 两个根因都覆盖到了。 run_host_orchestration 此前从未给 rt->orchestrator.chip_swimlane_level 赋值,所以 _prof_active 恒 false —— 本 PR 补上赋值 + 在 runtime_maker.cpp 提供 hidden 强符号覆盖 weak no-op,两者缺一不可,都在。
  2. 死池删除的时序前提成立。 run_host_orchestration 在 bind_callable_to_runtime_impl 内执行,早于 prepare_execution 里的 chip_swimlane_collector_.initialize(),所以 host_orchestrator_capture_started_ 在 initialize 时确实已置位,orch_buffer_count 真的取到 0 —— host 侧的池也没有分配,不只是设备侧。
  3. 标定态下 map_cycles_to_host_ns() 不会抛异常。 我核对了 swimlane_converter.py 全部 8 个 _to_us() 调用点喂进去的每个 cycles 值,都已被 device_timestamps 收集覆盖(含 start_cycles - receive_to_start_cycles 这个容易漏的派生值),而覆盖性检查不通过就退化 unaligned。
  4. 失败路径全是 fail-closed 的,并且 host 自报状态在 converter 端被独立重算了一遍(converter_validation_errors),不是单方面信任。混合时钟域在 C++ 和 Python 双端都拦。
  5. 顺带修掉了 hbg 与 TMR 之间一个潜伏分歧:hbg 的 pto_orchestrator.cpp 在纯 SIMPLER_DFX 构建下 _t1 恒为 0,一直在记录 end_time = 0;TMR 的同名文件早就有那行 _t1 = get_sys_cnt_aicpu()。新增 graph_submit_definition 记录点也必须读一次 _t1,否则是读未初始化变量。

pto-isa pin 保持在 0cefc9a5,本 PR 未改动任何 pto-isa include 路径,无需 bump。


转后续跟进的四点 —— 其中至少两点是 TMR 共有问题

这批问题不是本 PR 引入的回归,更像是 chip-swimlane level-4 这条路径长期缺维护的暴露。所以跟进 issue 的范围应该同时覆盖 host_build_graph 和 tensormap_and_ringbuffer,而不是只补 hbg。

① 文档未同步(部分共有)

  • 本 PR 特有:docs/dfx/chip-swimlane-profiling.md:182-210 的 on-disk schema 是穷举式的,新增的 9 个 metadata 键(orchestrator_source / clock_anchors / host_capture / host_orchestration_origin_ns / …)和新流 host_orchestrator_phases 一个都没写;reader-output 表也缺 timeline_metadata。
  • 两个 runtime 共有:同文件 :1079-1080 的排障条目写「collection is gated on … num_orch_phase_threads > 0 (orch)」,在 hbg 上现在恒为 0 也是正常的,这一行会把人引向错误方向;:106-107 的等级表把 level 4 一律写成 aicpu_orchestrator_phases[],需要按 runtime 区分。

② level-4 无自动化覆盖(确认为 TMR 共有)
本 PR 新增的 416 行测试全是 pyut,跑合成 JSON;C++ 采集侧(强符号是否真覆盖、level 是否传到位、记录数是否等于 total_tasks、锚点是否采到)零覆盖,目前只由 PR body 里那张手工 onboard 表背书。
而 TMR 侧同样没有 —— 我查了 tests/st/a5/tensormap_and_ringbuffer/dfx/chip_swimlane/_swimlane_validate.py,里面一个 orch 断言都没有,只断言 chip_swimlane_level in (1,2,3,4) 和 >= 3 的 scheduler phases。也就是说两个 runtime 的 level-4 orchestrator phase 都从来没有 ST 断言过,这正是 #1802 那个空操作能潜伏这么久的原因。
建议跟进项做成一个覆盖两个 runtime 的 level-4 校验(sim 变体成本最低,且 sim provider 是 sim_syscnt、host/device 同轴,clock_aligned 稳定可复现)。

③ dropped_records 口径不一致(需确认 TMR 侧是否同病)
chip_swimlane_collector.cpp 里 record_host_orchestrator_phase 对 end < start 的记录只 LOG_WARN 后 return,不递增 host_capture_dropped_records_。结果 JSON 报 status: "incomplete" + error: "record_count_mismatch" + dropped_records: 0,读的人会去查「记录怎么少了」,真实原因是「有记录被判非法丢了」。建议该分支计入 dropped 或单列 rejected_records。
跟进时一并确认设备侧 sched/orch 记录的丢弃计数有没有同样的口径问题。

④ 空导出守卫放宽(确认为 TMR 共有)
这处改动在共享的 chip_swimlane_collector.cpp:975-1000:此前只有 perf/aicore 记录能触发导出,现在 sched phase 单独存在也会导出,且 hbg level 4 因为 clock session 必然 started() 而总是产出文件(即使运行一无所获)。这不是缺陷,但它改了 TMR 侧 level-3 运行的行为,PR 描述里没提。跟进时明确一下预期语义并补文档。


另外几个非阻塞的小项,可以并到同一个跟进 issue:

  • == ORCH_PHASES vs >= ORCH_PHASES 不对称:runtime_maker.cpp 和两个 begin_host_orchestrator_capture 用精确相等,而 pto_orchestrator.cpp 的 _prof_active 用 >=。当前 ORCH_PHASES = 4 是最高级所以等价;一旦加了 level 5,采集静默关闭而 orchestrator 仍在发记录,且这些记录连 dropped 都不计。统一成 >= 更稳。
  • host 记录最终以 reader-output 键 aicpu_orchestrator_phases 输出,键名与内容矛盾(虽有 orchestrator_source 消歧,但按键名取数的下游会被误导)。
  • ClockAnchorSample::valid() 全仓无调用;if constexpr (PLATFORM_ACL_EVENT_TIMESTAMP_FREQ_HZ != 0) 树内恒真。
  • aclrtEventGetTimestamp 的 device-uptime µs 与 profiling syscnt 同 epoch 是整套对齐的地基,目前只有 platform_config.h 一行注释。覆盖区间校验让它 fail-safe,4 组 onboard 数据(不确定度 13.9–21.4 µs)也是合格证据,但验证过程值得落到 docs/dfx/ 或 docs/investigations/。
  • HostApiOps 新增 4 个函数指针追加在末尾且无版本字段 —— 仓库既有约定(upload_chip_callable_buffer 当初也这么加),不算本 PR 缺陷,但描述里提一句「需完整重建 host + runtime」可以省掉别人踩 build/lib 陈旧产物的坑。

LGTM,先合。

#2423)

* Fix: record the device clock domain's semantics in the swimlane schema

A capture's `device_clock_domain` is the constant "device_syscnt_cycles",
which names the kind of clock rather than the instance that stamped it,
while the neighbouring `host_clock_domain_id` is a Linux boot ID that a
merge compares and refuses Ranks over. Neither semantics was recorded, so
two adjacent fields with opposite meanings read as a matched pair and a
reader concludes that device timestamps from two Ranks are comparable
when they share no origin at all. Subtracting them yields a per-device
offset shaped exactly like a receive-side latency asymmetry.

- Document the Host-orchestration metadata block, including the eight
  fields the collector has emitted without documentation since #1846
- State in both the on-disk schema and the cross-Rank merge section that
  a device timestamp is that device's own uptime, and that the merge is
  the only supported way to place two Ranks on one axis
- Drop the `clock_correlation.cpp` citation from the boundary-marker
  comment, whose file #2218 removed, and state the
  re-record-without-reset contract those markers rely on directly
- Rename the display-origin pseudo-variable off the retired
  `host_timeline_origin_ns` field name

* Update: bound the same-device comparability claim to one counter epoch

A device reset restarts the counter, so two timestamps on one device are
only free of a per-device-origin offset within a single epoch — the same
bound `host-trace.md` already states for `dev_start_cycle`.

Also record what a merge does when `host_clock_domain_id` is absent: it
warns and assumes one Host clock. Only a conflicting ID is refused, and
the schema comment previously named neither outcome.
