Summary

  • give the HBG resolution thread its own resolve_standalone phase kind, so the
    converter and the overhead analysis no longer infer outer-vs-nested Resolve from
    rounded device timestamps; the converter still renders it as resolve on the P
    thread's main scheduler lane, and TMR's nested Resolve keeps its sub-lane
  • share the phase classification, the nested-Resolve detection and the ready-queue
    depth sampling that the two profiling tools — and both arch copies of the HBG
    scheduler — had duplicated
  • honor -n 0, -p no:xdist, and an explicit --dist (or its -d shortcut) in
    the L2 dispatcher: it now appends only the options the invocation left unset,
    instead of a fixed -n <max-parallel> --dist loadfile
  • document that a top-level -n N with N > 0 never reaches the phase dispatcher —
    xdist's distribution mode claims pytest_runtestloop before this conftest's
    hook runs — so --max-parallel is what sizes L2 parallelism

Follow-ups to #2031 and #2054.

Validation

  • pytest tests/ut/py: 2082 passed, 24 skipped
  • a2a3 + a5 HBG scheduler-phase scene tests pass; their exported records carry
    resolve_standalone on the core-less P thread
  • scheduler_dispatch.cpp (a2a3 + a5) and chip_swimlane_collector.cpp rebuilt in
    all four onboard/sim configurations: clean
  • ruff check + format, pyright, markdownlint, header / English-only / retired-name
    lints, clang-format: clean
  • checked against pytest-xdist 3.8.0 that --dist loadscope and -d without -n
    still reach the dispatcher, while -n 2 does not

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR refines L2 xdist option propagation and adds explicit handling for serial and distribution settings. It also introduces ResolveStandalone profiling records, shared scheduler-phase classification helpers, updated consumers, documentation, and tests.

Changes

L2 xdist dispatch

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve L2 xdist options
conftest.py, tests/ut/py/test_l2_dispatch.py
The dispatcher detects explicit worker and distribution options, handles serial execution, derives child options, and reports the selected worker count.
Validate L2 invocation behavior
docs/testing.md, simpler_setup/scene_test.py, tests/ut/py/test_l2_dispatch.py
Tests and documentation cover -n 0, explicit -n, --dist, -d, --pdb, plugin fallback, and corrected --max-parallel wording.

Scheduler profiling phase classification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define and emit standalone resolve phase
src/common/platform/include/common/chip_swimlane_profiling.h, src/common/platform/shared/host/chip_swimlane_collector.cpp, src/*/runtime/host_build_graph/runtime/scheduler/scheduler_dispatch.cpp
The profiling enum and JSON output add ResolveStandalone. Scheduler dispatch emits the new phase and shares ready-depth capture logic.
Centralize phase classification
simpler_setup/tools/scheduler_phase_records.py
Shared helpers canonicalize phase names, identify nested resolve records, and classify scheduler thread roles.
Apply shared classification to analysis and rendering
simpler_setup/tools/sched_overhead_analysis.py, simpler_setup/tools/swimlane_converter.py
Analysis and rendering use the shared phase canonicalization, nested resolve detection, and thread-role classification.
Update profiling documentation and tests
docs/dfx/chip-swimlane-profiling.md, tests/st/a2a3/host_build_graph/dfx/chip_swimlane/test_scheduler_phases.py, tests/st/a5/host_build_graph/dfx/chip_swimlane/test_scheduler_phases.py, tests/ut/py/test_sched_overhead_analysis.py, tests/ut/py/test_swimlane_converter.py
Documentation and tests distinguish standalone resolve_standalone records from nested resolve records and validate boundary classification.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e783e

The PR changes profiling classification and test-dispatch option handling, with the supplied checks passing; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Poem

A rabbit checks the queues at dawn

Xdist hops, then serials on
Resolve wears a clearer name
Nested lanes retain their frame
Shared helpers guide the trail
Tests confirm the profiling tale

Assert the legacy boundary case's thread role.

phases_seen proves that the boundary resolve record is included. It does not prove that scheduler_thread_role() returns "resolution". Add the role assertion so a regression in legacy boundary classification cannot pass this test.

Proposed test addition
     assert threads[0]["phases_seen"] == {"complete", "resolve"}
+    assert threads[0]["role"] == "resolution"

- Distinguish HBG outer resolve records from nested TMR resolve work and
  share scheduler-phase classification and queue-depth sampling. The
  containment fallback for captures predating the discriminator is strict
  at the end only: TMR stamps a Dummy bar's start and the first dummy's
  Resolve two sys-cnt reads apart, which share one 20 ns a2a3 tick often
  enough that a strict start reports nested Resolve work as standalone
  and double-counts its duration.
- Honor disabled or explicitly configured xdist settings in L2 dispatch
  while adding only missing defaults; `-d` is an explicit distribution
  mode alongside `--dist`, so the dispatcher no longer appends a
  `--dist loadfile` the child would discard. `--pdb` gates on its own
  option rather than on the worker count, which xdist zeroes only for
  `-n auto` / `-n logical`; the L2 child inherits `--pdb` and xdist
  rejects it as a usage error once `-n` puts the child in distribution
  mode.
- Cover both regressions in unit tests, and document that a top-level
  `-n N` with N > 0 hands the session to xdist before the phase
  dispatcher's hook runs, leaving `--max-parallel` as the way to size L2
  parallelism.
